This ia done to remind passengers who
have packages with them to take them

is up to the ears with work, and the
yard Is almost blocksded with freight
waiting to be sent out to the west.
The reason of the embryo blockade
is the fact that both the G. II. and the
r. s. p. have been pouring into Ell Paso
more traffic in the last few days than
the S. p. is able to handle.
Right now there are enough cars OF
freight to make up four dou BILE headers
and these will be sent out as soon as the
crews on the S. p. can be spared.
The freight includes big shipDen ts
of steel for points up in Nevada. and
more than fifty cars of coal delivered
to the S. P. by the T. & p. from their
Thurber mines. There are also two
trains OF refrigerators going to Cali

A FAMILY LETTER.
How Kindred May Keep In One


Two-thirds of century agoa young
man and woman set up housekeeping
in the town of Portsmouth, O. Ten
children were born to them. ALI but
one lived to grow up, and most OF the
married.
Ten years ago the descendants of the
original pair held reunion and per-
fected the plan of q "famlly letter. "
That letter starts, let US say, with a
descendant who still lives in Ports
mouth. He writes the news of his own
