TAKING SANTA FE MEN.
Mexican Central Railroad Importing
Many American Mechanics.

lF'rom Albuquerque Journal-Democrat-l
The Mexican Central is getting some
of the best men in the mechanical de-
partment of railroad work these days.
The men are being drawn from the me-
chanical departments of all the great
railroads of the United States and a
material improvement in the equipment
of the road is sure to follow, and that
speedily. Several of these men, who are
to undertake the undermining of the
Central, have come from the Santa Fe
and are well known here. The best
known of these is Ben Johnson, super
intendent of motive power on the Mexi-
can Central and popular with every
railroad man on the Santa Fe. The
last addition to the Mexican Central
force is w. ]. Wilcox, former master
mechanic for the Santa Fe at Los
Angeles, who passed through the city
Tuesday en- route to the City of Mex
leo, where he takes the position of mas
ter mechanic. He will be in charge of
the extensive shops now being built by
the Mexican Central, 60 miles out from
the city and which are to be among
the best equipped railroad shops in the
world.

DON'T WANT 1T REMOVED.
Thornton People Object to Having
Their Depot Taken to Rincon.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Feb. 2S.-The fiat
has gone out from Topeka, and the
Santa Fe depot at Thornton is soon to
be moved to Rincon, there to be erected
on the site of the recently burned Har-
vey house. The moving of the station
to Rincon will make it very nice for
the south bound passengers on the Rio
Grande division who now find it pain
full to do without breakfast until Ell
Paso is reached.s But it isn't quite so
nice for the people who want to stop
occasionally at Thornton. The depot
gone, hotel accommodations are rather
scarce. Therefore the people are un-
easy, and a movement is on foot to
send petition against the removal to
Division Superintendent Fox.

made The linemen demand 50. a day

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
ears, or until you reach middle life, then
1.-THE first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nent1y all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blOod-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows ::
