TUCUMCARi.

From Quay County Democrat.
Several car loads of grading stun
was unloaded here yesterday. 1t will
go out to the front on the Choctaw.
The unusual number Of settlers com
ing into this section the past few
weeks has caused the land In the vi
entity of Tucumcari to become valua'
BILE.
Several freight teams hauling freight
for the Choctaw railroad graders were
in town this week. The nearest CANT
to Tucumcari Is now thirty miles east.
Judging from the number VI wagon
loads of sheepskins brought In and
marketed there must have been an i'm.
mense number of sheep persisted dur
ing the blizzard few weeks ago.
Last Saturday night seven Rock
Island cars. while standing on the
side track at this place, were entered
and more or less goods stolen. Mer
chandise, dry goods and some clothing
were among the articles missing.

A Kick without Reason.

A grea deal OF Kick has been made
because the Arizona & Utah railroad
has refused to meet the Santa Fe rate
on ores from Chloride and intermedl-
ate camps, says the Kingman Miner
The fact of the matter is that no In
crease of ore Ia guaranteed by the cut
rate and the company will not make
a rate below the present schedule un.
less guaranteed tonnage that viii net
a revenue at least as high as the pres
ent receipts from ore shipments. Now,
the fact of the matter is this: The
mills of Chloride are unable to run
steadily because of lack OF water and
the Arizona Il Utah railroad has at all
times been willing to make them a
rate to Kingman, where a supply for
all purposes would be guaranteed
them. This rate would allow them to
work an exceedingly low grade OF ore
and at cost as low as they could
work at the mines Under the most fav-
orable condition. II the mining com
panies of the district would unite and
agree to furnish tonnage Of fifty or
more tons daily we believe q rate
would be given that would surprise
them.

RAILROADS DISAPPEARED.
Many Big Roads Are No Longer I'm
ESistence.


A dispatch from New York, dated
April 3. gives this interesting railroad
news:
Not more than ten years ago there
were eighty railroads furnishing week
ly compilations Of earnings. Today
only fifty-five roads publah such fg-
ures. so that twenty-five have disap-
peared In few cases his Is due tn
the abandonment OF reports but in far
the greater number the reason Is fourd
in consolidation.
The roads that have disappeared
were at one time big factors in the
railroad world Their names we're ON
tho tongues of investors and shippers
day after day. Now IL is doubtful if
some are even a memory so COM
pletely has their identity been merged
in the systems OF which they are a
part
A partial list OF such roads Ia of In
terest II includes: rhe Baltimore
a Ohio Southwestern. Burlington. Ce-
dar I.apids a. Northern. Chicago q
Eastern Illinois, Cincinnati. Jackson q
Mackinaw, Cleveland. Lorain a. Wheel
ing, Louisville. Evansville & St Louis,
Peoria, Decatur q Evansville, Fits
burg a. Western, Cleveland, Akron q
Columbus. Cleveland, Canton & South
ern. Kansas City. Fort Scott & Mem
phis. Kansas City, Memphis q Bir-
mingham. Memphis e. Charleston, St
Louis, Alton & Terre Haute, Western
New York & Pennsylvania. Rio Grande
Western, st. Paul & Duluth. Western
Maryland, Mobile & Ohio and Colorado
Midland.
There are, OF course, many roads not
mentioned in the list, bus these alone
account for some 5000 miles of rail-
way. 10 them should be- added the
Northern Pacific, the Burlington and
the Great Northern, ell now In the
Northern Securities company. In all
there are to be included about 25.000
miles u roads. which have practically
disappeared as independent concerns
All this has been brought about In
less than ten years.

out their having any warning. The ca
boose was entirely demolished, and

but not seriously.
The engineer, fireman and Head
Brakeman Munger of the train collid-
ing with the caboose were on the en-.
CINE and all jumped, but Munger was
to the ground and was probably in
stantly killed. Fourteen cars were
piled up about the engine and were
soon afire and totally consumed. Only

gers body remained. After the fire
burned out these remains were brought
to Santa Rosa by the coroner and after
