RAILROAD TO DURANGO.
Santa Fee Rumored to Be Planning
an Important Extension.

There is a general belief among the
people of northern New Mexico that the
Santa F'e system is to build at an early
day a branch road from its main line
into northern New Mexico, across Rio
Arriba county. to Durango, Colo. The
newspapers of TERRA Amarillo assert
that they have inside information to the
effect that such a line is not only
planned. but that it is to be built at
once. No authority is given for the
statement beyond the following state
ment from the TERRA Amarillo Repub-
lican:
Two experienced railroad men stop
ped over night at TERRA Amarillo Sat-
urday and resumed their journey to
Santa F'e Sunday morning. While here
they exhibited letter from proml-
nent railroad contractor conveying the
interesting information that the Santa
Fe was letting railroad contracts and
that many workmen would be needed.
while the letter did not make the
positive statement, it intimated broadly
that the road would be constructed in
the direction of Durango, opening up
the rich agricultural and grazing lands
of Rio Arriba county to settlers, and
the inexhaustible coal and gold mines
and forests of valuable timber to in
vestors.
"Of course, this is only pointer, but
it is a significant one. If the Santa F'e
proposes to build several hundred miles
of railroad this year, as is alleged, it
is almost certain to be built in this di-

as the railroads are concerned, rich and
prolific in natural resources, and not
traNersed by any railroad
There is a reason, in fact many rea-
sons, for the building of such a line.
The Santa F'e has often threatened to
invade Denver & Rio Grande territory,
and the Durango connection will soon
be more valuable than at present be-
cause of the new road from Durango to
Clifton, which will be built this year
and which will be the first road to de-

WANTED: SUMNER TOURISTS.
Eastern Roads Will Likely Put in
Half Fare Rates.

Lines east and west of-Chicago are Ii
able to become involved in a rate war
for the lions share of the summer tour
list business. A proposition has been in
troduced into the Central Passenger as
ISOLATION to put in summer tourist rates
of about half-fare to all the eastern
seaside resorts in order to compete with
the cheap rates which will be in force
to western resorts.
In the main the proposition has been
favorably received by lines in the as
ISOLATION and meeting of the joint
passenger. committee has been called for
March 26 at New York for the purpose
of further considering the question.
Western passenger men are alarmed at
the attitude of the fasteners and are
threatening to refuse to accept the
rates for basing purposes if offered to
them.
The resolution as introduced provides
for rates from Chicago, Cincinnati, Lou
iSVille, St Louis, Indianapolis and 9TH
err large centers in the middle west to
all eastern summer resorts at figures
corresponding to the rates in effect uD-
on all western lines to Colorado and
Utah common points and to Pacific
coast resorts. This would mean a rate
of about S25 from Chicago to Atlantic
City and return and of about $2I to
Boston and all New England resorts
The Cincinnati rate would be about
$22 the St. Louis rate about $2S and the
Indianapolis rate about $23.~ Some lines
are in favor of including New York
city with a rate OF ABOUT SzO. "A limit
of so days would be given on the tickets,
which would be sold twice each week
during July and August, when the bulk
of the summer tourist business is
moved.
Figures were presented at the meet
ing to show that the western roads had
in two seasons increased the summer
tourist travel 700 per cent by the cheap
rates originally proposed by John Sc
bastian of the Rock Island. Attention
was called to the fact that the eastern
lines had always accepted the western
rates for basing purposes, had calmly
put in a 1 cent rate to bring the traV-
elers to the western lines and stubborn
ly kept their own doors closed.
The representatives present were urg-
ed to take down the stone wall that had
been maintained about the eastern re-
Sorts It was said that the western
lines had for the last two years been
making a show OF the eastern lines in
the matter and it was pointedly asked
when the eastern passenger men would
wake up TO the eXigencies of the situa-
ton. Several men took the position that
the day of cheap fares had passed the
entail stage and that the people
had been educated into the belief that
the public is entitled to cheap rates.

FOR A BARREL OF WHISKY.
Santa Fee Wants a Phoenix Barkeep
to Cough Up.

Suit has been filed in the district
court at Phoenix by the attorneys for
the Santa Fre Prescott & Phoenix rail-
way company against S. P Thompson
and Edward Van for the price of bar
rel of whisky. 1t is claimed that on
September Is, 1901, the company re-
ceived a barrel of whisky at Prescott
from Jake Marks which was consigned
to r. w. Baxter, at Wickenburg. The
whisky was by mistake delivered to de-
PENDANTS who, it is alleged, knew that
the whisky was not for them, but who
appropriated it, nevertheless. 1t was
valued at $105, and the company seeks
to recover that amount.

Will Oil the Desert.

The Albuquerque Journai-Democrat
says: The Santa F'e company has re-
stunned the sprinkling of oil along the
roadbed through western Arizona and
California, where the dust of the desert
makes travelling a burden during the
summer months. The oil settles the fine
firm path through the desert The plan
is to be followed more extensively this
year than ever before. Within the next
thirty days the entire distance between
Bakersfield and Barstow, across the
Mohave desert, will have been treated
to the petroleum bath.

Tlae Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt delivered his annual message to congress on Monday, Dec 1st, The tone of his message is not different from that on his numerous speeches on public matters. The people have come 10 know where the president stands, and they con come very near inter- preting in advance what he would say. In the message his recom- mendations, are. in part, a 8 follows: Reciprocity treatise. an imnigra- f.on law. International arbitration, an increased navy, and the remoy- al of the tariff on anthracite coal. The labor problem, the president finds, is one of the great difficult ties. It is an era of federation and combination. Both capitalistic and labor federations can do much good. Opposition to either should he confined to what is bad in them. We are neither for the rich man nor the poor man as such; we are for the right man, rich or poor"
 So far as Alaska is concerned. the message is all that could be asked for. Considering the fact that the presidents last message made no reference to Alaska, his message to this congress is very much appreciated by all Alaskans. He strongly suggests that Alaska should have delegate in congress ~and that the land laws should be extended to this domain in their most liberal form.
