Devey'S Home Coming. 9.

For nearly eighteen months the people
of this nation have been bottling up
the enthusiasm distilled by their un-
bounded admiration for the man who
smashed things so heroically on that
memorable May morning in Manila
bay. Now that man is coming home,
and we have arranged to uncork said
enthusiasm. We are going to do it
in our own peculiar way.

New Depot at Pecos.

Pecos, April 29-The P. E. & N. E.
road is going to build a depot Of its
own here. Heretofore it has used the
T. & P depot, but when it extended its
line from Roswell to Amarillo it an
nounced that it's stock rate would be
$50 per car from Pecos to Amarillo,
whereupon the cattlemen at this end of
the line gently reminded the manage
ment that.they would continue to drive
across the plains rather than pay it,
and several big herds were at once
started. Then the road announced a
rate of $50 per car, and this seemed to
be satisfactory all around, when the
T. & P. raised a kick and invited the
?. V. & N. E. to get out and keep house
to itself. The result will be a fine depot,
one block west of the present T. & P.
depot.
