order to ill its contract has to let bet
ter paying freight, like livestock, wait
till the rush is over. AS it may be
more than a month before the Santa
Fe could get cars for Mr.. McCabe he
concluded he might as well come
home and wait. He was at Springer
when the statehood senatorial con-
mittee passed the town. Delegate
