ule. but they have made good the first
month Three mornings the train was
late in Kansas city, and although II
was late several mornings In FL Paso
il did not fail TO make the connections
with the Southern Pacific hut once.
This speaks well for the road. when
one stops to consider that all the road
from CariZozo to Liberal Kan. is new
and unsettled Not a wreck of conse-
qucnce has occurred and In fact the
service has been satisfactory all
around.
Next fall the limited train service
will he pat on. These trains are al
ready building at a cost of $1,000 600.
