IN HARD LUCK
The 3 p. west bound passenger train
seems to have n hard time getting out
% Fl Paso on time. In the past week
or ten days there has been only two
occasions when the G.. H. train came in
on time and on both of these oc-
casions there was something else to
detain the s. p. First the T. & p. held
II until $3.50, then this morning. though
the C. II. was on time. the S. p. did not
get away until $3.50. There was some
thing wrong with a baggage car and
the car repairers did not get IL fixed
until that time

ciIling on hand that he has ever had.
One hundred coal cars that were made
for the Mexican International were
found to be too large for use on that
road and are to be transferred to the
Texas & New Orleans. Before being
taken to- the T. az y. o.. they must be
all restencilled and the work is to be
done at the shops at this place. They
are the big gondola or hopper coal
cars and have a capacity of 100000
pounds They are too big for any use
on the Mexican International because
the road would not bear the weight of
them when loaded to their capacity.
When the first ones came they arrived
NJ night and Harry thought he would
explore one of them. He had never
been in one of that kind and when he
