THE coMMITTEE REPORTS
Detailed Statement of the Carnival ey % Finances.

To the Editor of The Republican,: Dear Sir: We submit herewith a de- tailed statement of the finances of the last carnival, which is a balance sheet Of the books of the association taken December 22, 1900, giving in detail the receipts and expenditures during the period, and the cost, profit or loss on each item, showing both gross and net.
 The deficiency between receipts and expenditures can be clearly traced to two known sources, viz:
 Flrst-The condemnation proceedings against the grand stand
 Second-The break down in the street car system during Thursdays sports at the park.
 Our grand stand committee, com- posed of architects and builders, esti- mated the cost of the structure as planned by them at $375 net. The con demnation proceedings and consequent question as to its safety made it nec- essary to practically rebuild the struc- ture as an additional cost of S326.49, which latter was a dead loss. The matter coming up on the days it did (Friday and Saturday before carnival week) in our opinion caused a loss of $1,000. at least, on season book sales. There were 800 seats reserved for sea- sonbook sales at $2 each. We believe, from the way the sale started off, that not less than 600 of these books would have been sold if there had been no talk about the safety Of the stand, and possibly the whole 500. As it was. only a little over one hundred were sold.
 ,ba hoI in the chairman of their grand stand committee, MT. Joseph Fifield, and be- lieve that he planned and built the stand properly. Some of the experts called in to examine it agreed with us; some did not. Hence the only thing for us to do was to make it safe beyond cavil or criticism. At a conservative estimate we are short S1,2OO at least through this regretable occurrence. which could not have been foreseen nor prevented by us.
 The number of people who wanted to go to the park on Thursday and could not by reason of the breakdown in the car system has been Variously esu- mated at from 500 to 1000. From re- liable reports we estimate over 600. They would have increased our receipts on that day over $3C0.
 If these two affairs had not occurred there would have been no deficit. On tt2 o:her hand the committee confi- dent!y anticipated to return to the sub scribers a least 50 per cent of their subscriptions, instead of using it all and calling for more.
 The reason for this is simple. The carnival was not patronized by outside

the early train.
 What cn earth is it stopping here for?" exclaimed Mrs. Shaw
 But her question was answered in a moss unexpected manner, for when a p-etty young lady, followed by a de- mure maid, ran up the sidewalk, Mrs. Shaw burst into joyful tears. Tt isn't Lucy?" she cried.
 But it is, sister," answered the young woman. The boys crowded around and helped carry the many packages into the house. Lucy ex- plained how Mime. Bronson had died three months before; had left her sev- eral missions to perform in Europe, and had made the young girl her heir.
 And I'm coming back to live with you," she announced. And when they told her of selling the mel0deon, and how they found the bonds in it, Lucy said: You can give it to me for my Christmas present."

 "I do know as We can make much Christmas for the children this year." said Mrs. Shaw to her husband a few days before tn holiday; "an they ex- pectin it, too. But I don't see no way 'thout money, an I guess it's just about as scarce as it kin be this year."
 Its not only skurce, Mary said MT. Shaw. 'tth' simply ain't any,
 Well, we c'n sell the melodeon, and that's good for fifteen dollars y know"
 Yes, but Mary, I giv' ye that tn fust year We kep' house, an, feel re- pugnant to part with it, said her hus- band.
 No more than I do." she answered. An it seems to me that jest couldn't bear to See it go away. But We must have a little money fer Christmas. an the's that six dollars balance to the doctor''
 ''I suppose the chilren II feel putty bad if they don't hev no Christmas" said MT. Shaw reflectivcly. An 'ye cant do much 'thout a couple of dol lars. We'll, I'll see. Perfesser Wilson today"
 He drew on brown plaid overccat, wrapped a muff1er about his neck, and went out. Times had once been good With the Shaws but an ambitious brother had dragged Samuel into in dorsing notes, with the almost invar- fable result. He had had to mortgage the place, and the interest kept them poor. There were two boys at home, Fred and Egbert, twelve and fourteen years old. They were good boys and stood well at school Today they were out coasting. Fred was a lad who liked sports of all kinds, while his brcJther was fond of books Recently his chum a year older, named Cassius, and called Cash" by his familiars, had become possessed of a number of literary works, bearing chiefly on the adven- lures of one Keen Knife, otherwise the Prince of the Prairies," and the boys had spent long and delightful after noons in haymow belonging to Cas- sius's father in perusal of the books But even these novels were forgotten now in the atmosphere of Christmas, and speculation of Keen Knife's escape from band of unfriendly Indians Ina l changed for grave consideration of the possibilities of new carpenters tco,s and small printing press.
 If ',he boys had known the sacrifice that was to be made that their Christ mas was to ba made brighter, it is probable that they would have been sorry. The melodeon was always treated with great respect in the Shaw family. The boys had not heard it in years. The last time was on a soft summer evening, when Mrs. Shaws young sister was there. She was to sail for Europe the next day as com panion to rich woman who had taken a great fancy to her. Even Egbert re- membered that last evening very well. His youthful aunt sang and played such sweet, old fashioned airs as 'fThen You'll Remember Me-" and Home Sweet Home" Little Egbert recalled some times how in the intervals of iae conversation that evening, while he was hdding his aunt's hand he had heard the boys shouting as they played

THROUGH MAXWELL TRACT
Branch Line OF Colorado And South
ern To Be Ruilt.

An important branch line of the
Colorado 81 Southern railway will be
built through the Maxwell laod grant,
opsning up rich land that at the present
eau only be reached by wagon. The
new company that has been given
possession OF the grant after lengthy
litigation, Ia putting into effect a plan
that will dispose of the thousands of
fertile acres for settlement and has
demanded a railroad in order to
accomplish it.
General Superintendent Dyer of the
Colorado & Southern has returned
from an inspection of surveyed
route through the grant in Las Animas
county and Northern New Mexico. The
survey was made under the direction
of Chief Engineer CowRn and provides
for easy grades and some thirty miles
OF road. AT present the grant is
entered by horse from Trinidad
The railroad will be the first big i'm
prOvement OF the many contemplated
by the owners. Its completion will be
followed by the settling of new lands
under the terms offered by the COM
pany a, it's office In Trinidad
GenerslSuperintende inspec-
ton means that construction will begin
early this spring. In Trinidad he was
in conference with the company's
officers and came to Denver with DIvi-
sion Superintendent Parker of the
Santa Fee and other Santa Fee officials.
AS the latter road has an interest in
the grant, boun ding it on one side, 1t
Is thought 1t Is also interested In the
construction of the branch. To what
extent is not known.

ONE WITNESS HEARD.
In The Double Header Fight Now On
At Austin

The railroad commission yesterday
In Austin took up the circular call
iog hearing to consider the applica-
zion of the railroad employees reques-
ting the prohibition of the running of
two engines on train. The original
complaint of the Cult, Colorado & Santa
Fs engineers at Temple, which was
published, was read.
James A. Baker, OF Houston, attor-
ney for Galveston, Harrisburg & San
Antonio Railway, moved that his road
be dismissed from the proceedings, as
it is not mentioned In the complaint
and therefore Is not party.
The fl rst witness WAS G. L. Wilson I,
q locomotive engineer OF the Santa Fe.
residing at Cleburne. He testified
ID at dou ble-headers were first adopted
On the Santa Fee in October, 1899, and
in his opinion the practice is extra
hazardous. He testified that coupling
appliances OF engines are not able to
sitt stand the heavy strains and he also
alleged deficiency in braking power
on double-header trains. He said it
Is impossible for Employees in the second
engine TO see shead and jump In case
Of accident. He stated that double
header trains are hard to control,
which results in increased dangers at
crossings: that they are dangerous to
bridges and render the track unsafe.

A ChiId's Essay on Seals.

After giving the natural history of
the animals, Il little girl drew her
moral. 1T is very cruel" said she. ''to
kill seals just because we want to wear
their skins ourselves. but it is rather
fortunate for them. as it shows that
they were created for some good pur-
pose"
Taught to trace good in every
thing" the puzzled >hild had done her
best to explain the slaughter of vast
colonies of harmless animals for the
sake of the skins which had been
given them by a loving Creator and
had come to the conclusion that it was
for the seals good that, instead of, as
she said in her essay, "walloping about
on the ice" they should be skinned for
the benefit of man.
On cross examination it proved that
she did not really believe that it did
the seals any good and that all her
sympathy was with them. but her edu-
cation had already taught her to try
to persuade herself that everything
is for the best and to understand that
II our reason cannot reconcile facts
with theories it is our reason that Is at
fault.-Contemporary Review.

STOPPED THE CARS.
Boys On Santa Fe Street Last
Night Placed Stones On the
Track And Broke Windows
Mere Arrested.

There was a juvenile riot last night on
Santa Fe street, near the canal bridge,
which excited the entire neighborh hood,
and terrOriZed the street car drivers.
AS result seven young Mexicans are
in the city Jail, and will be tried this
afternoon in the police court, while
several more youthful offenders are to
be arrested this afternoon in time for
the trial.
There seems to have been no reason
for the origin of the trouble except
pure deviltry, but within ten minutes
after IL started, at eight O'Clock, the
street seemed black with the young
rioters; windows were broken out
of q passing car; stones were piled on
the track; and volley of missiles
peppered the sides OF near by houses.
This morning Officer Harold went
to the bridge with boy who had been
captured, and succeeded in having
half a dozen young fellows pointed out
to him, who were in the raid. All
these were arrested.

A WONDERFUL ROAD
The New Santa Fe And Grand Canon
Will Be A Breath Taker.

OF the Grand Canon road the
Topeka Journal says:
Santa Fee engineers have decided on
q move which holds unique place
among the feats of modern rail-
road engineering. 1t is =, the
line to the every edge of the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river in Arizons.
The proposition is rather a dizzy one
bnt careful examination has satisfied
Chief Engineer Dun and his assistant is
shat there is no danger connected with
The move.
In consequence, construction has
been ordered on the Santa Fee & Grand
Canon railroad from Anita junction to
The head of Bright Angel Trail, where
the observation train will pause on
the rim of the 900 foot cleft in the
earth. A rampant Will be built to in
sure the safety of trains. The claim
is made that the view of varf-colored
rock, the immensely Of the distances
and the seemingly perilous poise of the
train will be an attraction uneausled
any where for sublimity on the globe.
The twenty miles to the rim of the
canon will be completed by May 10.
Gangs of graders have already been
pu. to work and during the winter a
c Comfortable, If temporary, hotel has
been built at Bright Angel Trail, &C
commodating thirtyfive people.
From Bright Angel Trail Berry and
Hance trails lead down the sides of the
canon to the Colorado river. The de-
scent of these narrow pathways can
safely be made on burros.
The new line will be known as the |
Santa Fe & Grand Canon. At present

operation from Williams to Anita |
