IRIS NOT a CERTAINTY.
Santa Fe Has Merely Made Survey
for San Saba Line.

Fort Worth. Tex, Dec. Isl. J. Polk.
vice president of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa F'e Railroad company, is authority
for the statement that nothing definite has
been decided about extending the Santa
Fe from Lamrasas to San Saba. The sur
veycrs of the company have made an in
vestigation Of the proposed route, but fur
Their than that nothing has been done to-
ward building the extension.
Regarding the report that the Santa Fe
would build to Ell Paso for the purpose of
shortening its line to the Pacific coast, Col.
Polk states that this is an old story and
that the company has for long time in
tended to shorten the line to California
He further states that this extension
would not likely be made before another
year. 1t was the intention of the Santa
Fe to make this extension to California
when the Santa F'e extended to san
Angelo, but the plans then discussed have
not yet materialized. Col. Polk adds that
for the present there need be no specula-
ton to when this extension VIII be COM
menced.

New Things for Christmas Trees.

The well-dressed Christmas tree this
year will be embeilished with electric
lights to take the place of the time
honored candles. Dealers in electrical de-
vices are putting on the market little ap-
planes for lighting the trees. either
with storage batteries or with connec-
lions that may be made where electricity
is already in use in the house. The in
candescent globes come in various COL
ors, and may be attached to the tree in
any manner that may suit the owner.
The lights are tiny-of about the same
candle-power as those used on the stage
in Illuminating the dresses of the ballet
dancers in the spectacular productions
just now in vogue. OF course, the mat
ter of expense is considerable, but this
is lessened by the knowledge that there
is absolutely no danger from fire.-Phila-

SAN ANTONIO STRIKES BACK.
Will Compel Southern Pacific to Build
Costly V1aduct-

Houston, Tex, Dec. 1S-The Southern
Pacific has finally determined to re-
move its shops, yards, roundhouse and
everything movable from the city limits
of San Antonio. Manager Van Week
recently gave out an interview in which
he stated that the city council of San
Antonio had so harassed the road that
the company could no longer stand it.
This has been answered by the adoption
of an ordinance compelling the road to
stop all trains at certain crossing in
side it's yards until a viaduct is built
at the crossing. The company has here
tofore refused to build the viaduct for
the reason that it would cost too much
for the benefit to accrue.

Fujitani was adjudged a bankrupt

that they knew Of Fujitanis bankrupt

over the money to the trustee for the
benefit of creditors. Judge Estee set

Court this morning signed and filed an
order calling a special term of the
court to begin September 10. The order
was approved by Justice Perry, as re-
quired by law, in the absence of the
chief justice. The Supreme Court will
probably have decided the question as
to bailiffs' salaries by the time the term
begins, and there may be some funds
available. The term will probably be
devoted to jury-waived cases. Judge
Robinson. whose bailiff is the Supreme
