chased by Subscription at Once
 and Turned Over
 (El Paso Herald.)
 As matters are shaping themselves it looks this afternoon as if Fl Paso would have a union depot, but the cit ize2s cannot quit for the real work is just beginning if the new structure is to be secured. The railroads have designated the. ground that they de sire and have expressed a willingness to pay SIP 900 for it. The property is said to be worth about S10000 more and the citizens will raise that. This is practically the conclusion of a com mittee appointed last evening at a meeting with the ai'road men and they will report tonight. in all likeli- hood, to the railroad interests that they ca2 have what they ask. The committee consists of Aldermen Baum and Look. z. T. White and D. Storms.
 The Property Desired
 The roads have asked for all the property north of the Southern Pacific .tI2"k along the proposed depot site. which is near the Sante Fe stock yards CH San Frar>Isco street The land in question is wanted to enaSle the roads 10 move the Sunset track back off San Francisco street and open that thoroughfaTe as the main approach to the new depot.
 Want a Park
 Further than this the roads ask that the council dedicate seventyfive feet of land on the east side Of the Santa Fe track from Overland street all the way up to the new depot for use as park. This the council seems willing to do. so the only question that TOW remains for consideration. is the acquisition of the land asked for on the north of the Sunset track. This will likely be secured.
 Met with Property Holders
 The committee appointed al the ci3- iZens' meeting last evening had a lengthy consultation with almost all the property holders this morning and came to satisfactory arrangements with some of them, the largest of them at least, but some are stubborn and the committee is satisfied that condemnation proceedings will be nee essary. but even in that event they do no. believe that the land wi come any higher. as they think any commit tee appointed to fix the valuation of the property would take into consider ation the welfare of the city and make the amount reasonable. The owners of the piece of property of J. J. Craw- ford and D. Storms. W. M. Snow, s. H. Sutherland, Lucy Albright, Wm. TryTe and Miller Brothers.
 Railroads Will Act Soon
 As soon as the citizens committee reports to the officials this evening that the land can be had for the price which they are willing to give, the committee of railroad men who are handling the matter wiT report to the respective roads entering Fl Paso and the-e =--::;.i ue another meeting here as soon as the deeds to the prop, erty are secured, after the council shall have passed the ordinance set ting aside the property on the Santa Fe tracks for the park. This the coun- cil will be asked to do at the meeting next Thursday, it is generally believ- matter will receive favorable consid- eration.
 Snow the First to Seff
 At this mornings meeting with property holders, the committee ef- fected a satisfactory arrangement with MT. Snow for his property and it is the largest piece in the strip. The land is narrow at one end and broad at the other and at the widest place is about 140 feet.
 Storms and Crawford announced at the meeting that they would submit a written proposition this afternoon re- gardilg their property and Horace Stevens decided to see the other par ties concerned.
 The matter will be taken up by the citizens again at 4 o'clock in the chamber of commerce and the final report will be made to the railroad people at 7:30. ... Tip Deel, a leading business man
