James l.. Byrnes. who has been en-
ployed for a few weeks in Superintend-
ent Hibbard's office at Winslow, re-
turned to Flagstaff.
John Divelbess has returned to Hol-
brook from Angel, where he has been
working with the Santa Fe water SER
vice. A fellow workman accidentally
struck him on the back of the hand
with a pick, which will lay him off for
a few days.
Arrangements have been effected by
which a tri-weekly local freight will
be run out of albuquerque for points
on the Santa Fe Pacific road. The
hour of departure will be 5 a. m. Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays. This
will prove quite an accommodation to
local shippers.

pany of this city was awarded the con-

cago, Rock island & Pacific railroad

dian Territory. The contract is n

The Topeka State Journal says:
Harry Crawford, son of Col. Jack"
Crawford, a pioneer of New Mexico,
and a famous scout of the civil and In
dian wars, was in Topeka attending
the general grievance committee ses-
sion of the conductors. He is a con-
ductor on the Santa Fe out of San Mar
cial, N. M, and an old acquaintance of
Thomas Wallace, a painter in the loco
motive paint shop.
w. l.. Beardsley. formerly invoice
clerk 1t the Topeka st%orehouse, and
previous to that division ~storekeeper
at Ottawa, Kan, has resigned his po-
sition with the company and will de-
vote his attention to the cattle bust
ness near Alva, Okla. Beardsley has
beer in this department of the road
a long time at different periods. but
the last term of service was only about
six months long.
Locomotives Nos. IA and Is, which
were brought here for repairs by the
Lantry brothers before they were to
be taken west, are of the old Baldwin
type with boiler heads, which slope
downward to just a little above the
door of the fire box. They are twenty.
two year old and first saw service on
the lines of the Pennsylvania system.
Thence they were taken to the piner-
les of Wisconsin, where they were
held until bought by the Lantrys and
sent here a few weeks ago, says the
Topeka State Journal.
Cast iron boxes have been distrib-
uted throughout the Topeka shops to
be used as receptacles for waste and
other trash. Some months ago the
shop plant of the company at Point
Richmond, CAL, was destroyed by fire
resulting from the spontaneous com
bustion of a quantity of waste which
had been piled together, and it taught
the officials that this must be avoided
Orders were issued shortly afterward
that foremen would be expected to &C
through the c%upboards of the workmer
and see that they were kept clean. II
has been arranged that in the new
buildings the places where the meI
store their tools and clothes will be OF
grated material so that in case of fire
water can be applied easily.
On Tuesday a special train arrived
at Pagosa having several of the Rio
Grande officials aboard, accompanied
by A. T. Sullenberger, president of the
Rio Grande, Pagosa & Northern. Tht
current rumor that the Northern will
be extended seems to have some found
alton, as the chief engineer was witt
the party. The party consisted of w
s. Martin, general superintendent; j
NJ. Herbert, manager; F. B. Degarmo
chief engineer, and r. Brown OF the
Rio Grande and A. T. Sullenberger, o.
the Northern. 1t was rumored aftel
their departure that the Rio Grandt
had an option OF the hot springs, an6
this has peer verified. 1t is hoped b.
the citizens at Pagosa Springs that the
Rio Grande people will take up the op
ton, as that would insure a good hote
and decent accommodations, thus OF
fering inducements for pleasure ant
health seekers to come to the springs
F. A. Collins is now east to rails
none to erect a hotel n bath house
near the site of his hot water wei
The flow from the hot water well is in
~creasing all the time and would fun
nish abundant water for bath hous
purposes The citizens will eagerl
watch for the Rio Grande option to b
taken up.-Denver News.
