The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-12-24

The republican program may be COM
pletely cut and dried, but it doesn t
look that way. Roosevelt may see him
self again leading the party of per-
quisites first and progress when it can t
hold back. 1t still seems that if his
control is to continue he must mount
that broncho and do some Of his rough
est rough riding. He must give the dis
gruntled faction of his party record
breaking taste of the strenuous life.
Otherwise to another republican may
yet fall the honor of being defeated by
the democratic nominee. The signs of
general unrest, coupled with open re-
volt against Roosevelt, lead some not
hasty politicians to believe that the
action of the next republican conven-
ton is by no means sure.-St. Louis
Republic.

The "hired man. of the journal got
one Of his funny streaks on last week
and tried to palm worn-out ghost
story, which has been published all
over the country, on his readers as orig
inal by using The REPORTER editors
name in it. But he garbled the story so
that it fell flat and everybody who
read it asked what the "hired man" was
trying to get at, the point in the story
being so blunt that no one could see
the point. There are no ghosts hanging
around The REPORTER Office, but it is
said the ghost of the defeated Leon ring
haunts the SHRED man. like hideous
nightmare. 1t is no wonder he writes
about the footprints of ghost being
heard. The "hired man. can hear any
thing since the election returns were
received.

Perry Heath announces that he sees
no reason why he should resign his
position as secretary of the republican
national committee. Sure enough-why
should he? With Hanna, Quay, Platt
and other dealers in spoils and perquis-
ties in charge of the party, a little pee
cadillo ought not to disqualify "prac-
teal worker" from devoting his talents
to the very necessary enterprise of
carrying elections.-NewY York World.

Senator Gallinger has introduced a
bill providing that after March 4, 1904,
senators, representatives and delegates
in congress shall be paid $1,000 per
annum. 1t is salary garb of obnoxious
character and inspiration. The COM
pensation now offered is ample for the
service, which continues by no means
all the year through, and in excess of
that which most of the members could
command in private life.

Survey for Narrow Guage Line from
Willard to Iron Mines Now
Being Made.

General Manager w. S. Hopewell Of
the Pennsylvania Development Com
.pany and the New Mexico Fuel and
Iron Company returned last evening
from weeks visit to various points
along the line of the Santa Fe Central
railway. He has made arrangements
to put in saw mill alta point about
eleven miles from the village of Tail
que and about fourteen miles from the
line of the railway. Saw mill machin-
cry is now being hauled to the pro-
posed site and within few weeks, ac-
tive operations will commence. The
timber land, from which timber will
b, cut has been procured from private
parties.
Preparations for the erection of g.
plant for the refining of the salt to be
taken out of the salt lakes, east of Es-
tancia owned by the Pennsylvania De-
velopment Company, are being push
ed rapidly and an adobe dwelling at
the principal lake for Aloyes Preisser
of Hillsboro, skilled and experience
ed chemist is being erected nc will
be ready for occupancy in tW' aeks.
1t is proposed not only to re- u the
salt but also to extract soda anC 9TH
er bi-products contained in til salt
lakes and alkali deposits for conmer-
cial purposes.
A survey for narrow gauge line
from a point on the line of the Santa
Fe Central south of Willard station
has been run to the iron fields in that
section and the construction of mar
row gauge line to the fields is contem-
plated although work thereon may
not commence until next spring.
The plans for the development of
the grand natural resources of this
section tributary to the Santa Fe Cen
trail are being fully matured and
when carried out, will be the means
of the building of several prosperous
towns there Everything is being ar
ranged systematically and thoroughly
by General Manager Hopewell and the
next year will see great develop
ment in what will be the county of
Torrance after January /, 1905.
Material for the construction of the
Albuquerque Eastern and the branch
to the Hagan coal fields is being as
sembled at Moriarty in large quantl-
ties. Over fifty thousand ties for the
roadbed which is already constructed
sixteen miles west of Moriarty are al
ready there and bridge timbers, tele-
phone polls and more ties are being
contracted for by contractors. Other
railroad material is also being gotten
together as quickly as it can be done
in the present state of affairs. The
outlook for all these enterprises is
certainly very encouraging and the
year 1904 will see them in active and
successful operation.

EXCURSION

and Albuquerque, Sunday
November Is.
LOTS IN TOWN SITE
Chance Of Lifetime for Prospective
lnvestors---S Rates offered
for the Occasion.

Sunday, November Is, has been fix
ed by General Manager w. S. Hopewell
of the Pennsylvania Development
Company and the New Mexico -uel
and Iron Company, as the day for the
big excursion of homeseekers and set
tiers, and prospective lot purchasers,
to the Santa Fe Central town of Es-
tancia, that after January /, 1905, will
be the seat of the new county of Tor
rance.
A special train will leave the tenn
porary station of the Santa Fe Cen
tral, in this city, at 9 O'Clock, connect.
ing at Kennedy with the special excur
sion train from Albuquerque, over the
Santa Fe, that will bear from 15O tc
200 of the representative citizens and
business men of the Duke City, to the
Future Great City" of the Estancia
valley.
Special rates will be made for this
trip, the fare from Santa Fe to be the
same as the proportionate part OF the
special Joint rate of SIS made by the
Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Central
systems to Estancia for this occasion.
In other words, the round trip fare
from Santa Fe to Estancia, will be the
same as in vogue for the occasion
from Kennedy to Estancia. The ex-
cursion offers prospective investors in
Santa Fe the chance of lifetime to
go to Estancia, and buy lots that will
double and treble in value in short
period of time.
w. P. Clarke, land and industrial
agent, is in Albuquerque, at the pres
ent time perfecting the final arrange
ments and advertising the big excur-
sion.

A dense fog made it impossible for
the crew of the latter to see the run
