recently that the engines were taken

rush of business on this division, and the
lack of the necessary engines to do the
work it was found inexpedient by the
company to continue the policy as the

Rivalry of Age In Santa Fe Time
Cards Results In New Discovery.

Discoveries of old Santa Fe time
cards continue. H. D. McGalliard, OF
ElPasO, has in his possession a copy of
time card No 5. which went into effect
June 10, 1870. In a letter to the Ell
PasO Herald he says of it:
Tom Peters was manager at that
time and William Pagan assistant sup
erintendent. Not an official or an en-
plOye that was on the road in those
days is in any way connected with it
now.
H. V. FAIRIES was master mechanic
and the only thing the company had in
the way of a shop was a little black
smith shop made out of rough boards
about L and Is feet square and eight
feet high standing in the weeds and
tall sunflOwers, the top of it just per-
ceptible above the weeds.
Time card No. was made out to
EmpOria, but the track was only fin
ished to Harton, some ten or twelve
miles from EmpOria. That was the ex-
tent of the road of the great Santa F'e
system at that time.

CONDITION oF CROPS.

The Weather Bureau summarizes
the reports Of crop conditions as fol-
lows:
While there has been an entire abb
sence of rain over a large part of the
country east of the Rocky Mountains
and droughty conditions are quite ex-
tensively reported in New England,
over much Of the lower lake region,
Ohio and lower Missouri valleys and
West Gulf States. very heavy rains
have fallen in the Red River OF the
North Valley, on the Virginia and
North Carolina coasts. and over por-
tions Of the Central Gulf States. In
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
districts, the week has been too cool
with frosts. causing some injury in
mountainous sections on the 18th and
10th. The report from Cuba indicates
that the week has been generally very
dry. and that crops are suffering seri-
ously over the greater part of the
island.
In the principal corn states the sea-
sonable temperature and general alb
sence OF rain have been favorable for
advancing the maturity OF corn. the
general condition of which crop is very
satisfactory although late corn now
needs rain in portions Of the Ohio and
upper Mississippi valleys, In Okla
homa and in some parts of Kansas and
Nebraska. Cutting OF corn is now
general in Kansas. and has begun in
Oklahoma
Spring wheat harvest has been de-
layed in the Dakotas and Minnesota
by heavy rains, which have caused in
