ry not more than $76,0OO,OO This may
be increased by the house, however.
The bill will be reported to the house
in few days.
The foreign governments Secretary
Long said to the committee, publicly
proclaim that within some stipulated
period they will have so many battle,
small boats and that ten years later
they will have so many more.
That's all right for them to do" the
secretary continued, but let us get
along in modest way. improve the
navy and the naval establishment care.
fully and with wisdom and keep our
business to ourselves"
More Recon- end atiOns.
He recommended to the committee
that sections 8 and Of the personnel
act be repealed. ''They have Served
their usefulness" he said, land now
they are harming the service"
These two sections provide that an
officer can seek retirement at any time
and when retired shall receive three
fourths Of the pay of the rank grade
higher than the one in which he last
served.
When asked as to the building OF
warships in government yards, Mr.
Long renewed his disapproval of such
action ON the ground that the cost
would be about % per cent greater and
that it would have a tendency to build
up political organiza tons in the navy
yards.
AS to submarine boats the secretary
thought it. would be well to defer fur.
Their action until boats now under con.
struction had been completed and test
ed.
At the close Of the hearing Chairman
Foss and his colleagues Joined in ex-
pressions Of high regard for Mr.. Long
and regret at his early retirement from
the head Of the navy department, to
which the secretary made a felicitous
reply on the cordial relations between
himself and the members.

From the many and diversified ru-
mors as to what the Rock Island had
in view in building its Ell Paso ex-
tension, whether the Mexican OF
California trade, or both, it is now
generally accepted that the Califor-
MIA trade will be the object at the
present time. The purchase of the
Mexican Central is given no cred
ence at either Rock Island or Mexi-
can Central headquarters. An off
cial of the Rock Island has been
quoted as saying the following in
regard to the movement:
"The Mexican ttaffic will be Incl
dental to our new line. What the
Rock Island desires is a big share
of the California traffic, and we in
tend to get it. 1 can not tell you al
this time what the Rock Island has
in mind regarding the California
traffic; but the public will not be
permitted to lose sight of the fact
that we have the short line to Los
Angeles and Southern California.
We are of the opinion that Califor-
MIA and the Southwest are in theil
infancy commercially and agricul
turally, and that the mineral re-
sources of the Southwest are un
bounded"
This statement would seem tc
prove conclusively that the road in
tends to adopt an aggressive policy
with the Santa Fe in regard to tht
California trade The closest rela
tions between the Rock Island anC
the Rio Grande exist at the presen
time, but if the policy of subordinat
ing the middle route to the West Il
the southern route is adopted by th'
Rock Island there is'danger of a rup
ture between the roads.
In speaking of the question a
based ou knowledge gained at Roc
Island headquarters in Chicago, tn
Record-Herald says:
I s.Although official confirmation
lacking, there is some reason to be
lieve that the management of tn
| Rock Island is contemplating max
ing strong bid for the transporta
j ton of the transmissouri and trans
continental mail, the bulk of whic

Married.

Mr.. Norman Elliott and Miss
Doll Follick were united in marriage
at noon today, at the home of Dist,
Clerk John Elliott, by Rev. ]. N.
Stamper. Dinner was served to the
party at the same place and the
happy young couple departed on the
afternoon train for Eldorado, where
they expect to remain for the pres
ent.
Both these young people are well
and favorably known in Meade,
Miss Follick being daughter of ex-
Co. Treas. Len Follick and a most
estimable young lady. She has
taught several terms of school in
the county and is highly esteemed
wherever she is known. Norman
has been employed at the S. P.
Bunch grocery for the past several
years and is popular with everyone.
He is one of the best boys in Meade
and we hope he and his wife will re-
turn to Meade to reside permanent
ly.
THE News extends its best wishes
to Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott, that they
may enjoy the ch oicest blessings that
may be bestowed upon them along
their pathway through life.

The plan is said to be to tranfer the
mail from the Lake Shore trains at
Sixty-third street instead of bringing
it into the city and transferring from
one depot to other. At least two
hours could be saved by so doing,
and a Rock Island train could be
forty miles or more on its journey
before the mail as now handled is
ready to start from the city. 1t is
known that the Rock Island officials
would welcome the opportunity 10
make the trial, and it is asserted that
they are seeking permission to do
SO. The plan was tried in half
hearted sort of way several years
ago, but for some reason a quietus
was placed upon it before definite
results were obtained.
"Oficials of the Santa Fe assert
that they do not view the advent of
the Rock Island into the California
field with apprehension on account
of the Yuma desert, which intervenes
between El Paso and the coast. 1t
is a desert proposition, however,
whatever route is taken, and there
is difference only in the degree of
discomfort undergone. It-has been
announced semi-officially that the
Pecos Valley, portion of the Santa
Fe system, will build from Roswell,
N. NJ, to Ell Paso, distance of 100
miles, in order to compete with the
Rock Islands new route, which is
22z miles shorter than other existing
routes"

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Rock Island VIII Open the Ell
Paso Extension March I.

From the Topeka Herald.
1t has been announced by officials
of the Rock Island system that
through passenger service between
Chicago and El Paso will be inaugu-
rated on March I. Meetings are be-
ing held In Chicago relative to this.
For some time freight traffic has
been carried on over the new road,
though little or no fast freight has
been taken. More and more bust
ness has been done each week and
now practically everything with the
exception of perishable goods is be-
ing handled.
Although the many rumors con-
cerning the purchase of the Mexican
Central by the Rock Island are now
generally credited as being false,
there is little doubt that the Rock
Island will obtain a direct line to
the Pacific coast and also open
way to Mexican business in short
time if it follows out the policy of ex-
tending its lines and opening up new
fields which has dominated its moves
for the past year or two. The route
over the Rock Island from Chicago
to El Paso and over the Mexican
Central to the City of Mexico is the
shortest by 200 miles of any route
between the two points and is be-
ginning to be spoken of as ''short
line"
Chas. B. Eddy, president of the
El Paso & Northeastern railroad, in
speaking recently of the new exten-
sion, said:
"Freight trains are now running
over the route, but arrangements for
passenger service have not been COM
pleted. The extension just COM
pleted of the Rock. Island system
from Liberal, Kas., to Santa Rosa,
N. NJ, is remarkably fine railroad.
Although brand new, it is equal to
the best transcontinental lines of to-
day on which millions have been
spent for betterments. In building
that extension the Rock Island built
for all time. 1t will not have to
spend lot of money in the future
to reduce grades, eliminate curva-
ture, and strengthen bridges and
culverts. That extension really de-
serves the name of an air line. As
matter of fact, there is stretch
of I2o miles in which there is but
one turn so slight that persons riding
over the road would not notice it.
There is a single tangent of over SO
miles, and there are no grades to
speak of from Liberal to Ell Paso.
Our conferences with officials of the
Rock Island system have been about
traffic and operating matters. The
companies are independent, but our
relations are very intimate and thor
1
oughly harmonious.

Those who wish to see strange sights in

trip along the line of the subway in its

swinging cranes and the cable ways on
which tonloads are carried at "A time. Now

At the present time millions of feet of
lumber are being used to maintain undts-

this timber had been used in building homes

$500, 900 tons of rock which are to be taken
out would make a solid wall three feet
thick, six feet high and nearly 500 miles
long, and if the dirt were spread over Cen
