important Letter Received
From Roger Q.
Mills
ENDORSES THE dam
And Sets Forth The Favor
able Attitude Of The Late
Senor Romero On
The Project.

Mayor Magoffi1 today received an
| important letter from Former Senator
Roger Q. Mills In reply to one written
by the mayor recently on the subj CT Of
the Ell Paso dam in the Rio Grande. La
his letter Senator Mills says be is un-
able tog go to Washington at this time
in aid of the measure on account OF a
press of personal affairs, but that be
will be free to give his energy and
time within few days.
Senator Mills in his letter makes the
statement that II it had not been for
the war with Spain, the dam wouli
have been provided for by the govern
ment before the present time. He says
that during the lifetime of the late
Minister Romero he discussed with the
diplomat the dan question, and re-
peatedly received from him his assur-
ance OF q cordial endorsement of the
project.
The senator knows that Senior Ro-
nero had communicated with his gov
ernment on the subject with his en-
dorsement thereof, and that he had
been informed of the sympathy of the
project entertained by President Diaz-
He has inform alton that the Mexican
government is ready to appoint q COM
mission to act with similar body and
with equal powers from the United
States; and Mr. Mills suggests that the
people of Ell Paso may expect congress
to cooperate with these sentiments by
appointing similar commission.
Mayor Magoffin aud the few promin-
ent citizens who were advised of the
information given above expressed
qualification at the good news, and to-
day movement was insugurated look
ing to the organization of a strong citi-
zens' committee to act vigorously in
the interest indicated.
LET THE COMMITTEE BE A STRONG
ONE.
LET IT ACT PROMPTLY.
Do NOT LET CONGRESS ADJOURN

HOW TO GET
A LIBRARY
Building Worthy Of The
City Of EI
Paso
POINTS FROM TUCSON
If Our Citizens Work Togeth
er Mr.. Carnegie May
Grown Their Efforts
With a. Gift.

The fact that the city of Tucson has
been given small fortune for the IL
brary has set many Ell Pasoans to
thinking they had better give MIR.
Carnegie another chance to refuse
their library his help. The following
letter from the HERALD'S correspon-
dent shows that Tucson all of Tucson
worked hard and gave literally to
the library prof act before Mr.. Carnegie
added his gift to their efforts.
1t is doubtful if Et Paso will
pro fit any by continual requests to
millionaires for money II Ell 2azo, as a
whole, does not evidence genuine in
terest and support for the library. A
few workers, all women, have done
noble work. But to give site for q
building for books and to guarantee a
yearly sum OF money sufficient TO pay
ry. and the lesser, incidental COSTS
would be the least thai El Paso could
do now.
Mr. Carnegie has absolutely de-
eli ned to contribute any immense sum
to the library as it now stands. He
gave to Tucson when they asked him,
because Tucson had proved itself
worthy Of the gift.
The Lord helps them that help them
selves, and Carnegie seems to think
the plan worth following.

Mr.. Carnegie was notified of the
action of the city and very shortly az
terwards his acce ptance of the offer and
notification that the funds would be
available as needed was received.
A committee composed of two of the
library trustees and two mem bers OF
the city council now have the matter q
charge. They have already advertised
for plans for the proposed building
and work will soop commence on the
edifice No effort will be spared to m AXE

cation is central and one that gives
satisfaction to all.
1t is creditable to the citizens of Tue
sou that after the library building was
made possible by the foresight of one of
her residents all petty differences
as to location, etc, were eliminated
from the question and united effort
made to meet without delay the condi-
tions of Mr.. Carnegie's offer. By
their energy and good sense Tucson
will see the completion of fine libra
ry building long before other cities Of
the coast that have, after receiving
similar offers, waited months 10 reach
ing q decision as to location.

Other Branches Of the Service May
Become Involved Soon.
The strike situation remains ap-
parently unchanged today. It is
generally understood that If set
tlement is not reached tomorrow
the engineers, conductors. and
trainmen will join the telegraphers
and thus completely paralyze traf-
&c on the entire system.
The company claims that its
operations have not been seriously
impeded and that the places of the
strikers are being filed rapidly.
Certain il is that this claim of the
company is without foundation in
fact, If Ardmore be any criterion
of general conditions. The freight
business here is in a lamentable
condition and the places of the
strikers remain. vacant.
On the other hand strike leaders
claim that conditions are more
favorable to them each day as the
inability of the company to fill va
cancies becomes manifest. They
claim that the operators shipped
from the north TO take positions on
the Gulf line have almost unani-
mously refused to work after reach
ing their destinations and that the
dispatch work of the company is in
as bad shape as it was Friday and
Saturday.
1t begins to look very much as
if on the showdown the o. r. T.,
was found to have the better hand.
At any rate, conditions are entirely
favorable'to the strikers, and if the
affiliated orders should decide tC
walk out and stop work this would
seem to clinch the advantage on
the side of the operators.
| Meanwhile the public suffers
much Inconvenience As a result
of the trouble and will be glad tC
see a speedy ending Of the strike
Shipping facilities are either in
adequate or absolutely denied
while telegraphic communication
is completely cut off. 1t is to bt
hoped that matters may be salts
factorily adjusted before the end
of the present week.

OLD LANDnARk DssrRoYnD.


PaImer's Gin Burned Yesterday
Mornlng-cause Unknown.
Yesterday morning just before
daylight Palmer's gin in West
Ardmore was discovered to be
burning and gre alarm was turn
ed in, to which the department re-
sponded promptly.
The flames had gained too much
headway to be checked, however,
and the property was soon des.
troyed. together with a large
amount of cotton.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. but it is thought to have
been caused by tramps smoking
somewhere about the building.
When first discovered the fire was
confined to the north side in the
vicinity of the press room, but il
spread rapidly and soon enveloped
the entire structure.
Mr.. Palmer estimates his loss al
about $4,000 The gin property
was insured for 81, 500 and was
estimated to be worth about $40
900. In addition to this there are
policies amounting to $5, 725 GOV
ering cotton on hand. The actuaI
loss to cotton has not yet been as
certained.
Palmer's gin was one of th'
landmarks of Ardmore, having
started here in 1888. Its begin
ming was an humble one, the frs
power being furnished by a trac
ton thresher engine, which die
service in that capacity two OF
three years, alternating between tht
wheat fields and the gin yards anG
being exposed to all kinds o.
weather. A small shed constituted
the gin house in those early day
and in this was installed one SIM
Sing Hall gin stand. From thil
small beginning grew the gin whicl
was destroyed yesterday consisting
of eight 7O-saw gin stands of tn,
Smith system and four revolving
presses with a capacity of eight!
bales day, and an average annua
output of 5000 bales.
