A Greater San Angelo.

Now that we are to have a
greater San Angelo let's have a
greater fire department.
The fire boys are faithful, good,
hard working fellows who put
forth every energy in their power
to save a building when afire and
others in danger. But they're
handicapped by old style hose
carts which are very heavy and
oftentimes unmanageable. They
need modern and better ones.
The men who derive most bene-
fit from fire protection should
put up for it. If the city govern
ment finds that 1T is not able to
do anything now, the Business
CLUB could do something One or
two good horses wouldn't cost so
very much and would probably
pay for themselves at the first
fire of any consequence. Most
business men would be willing TO
donate for such n purpose and
it's n thing the town needs
San Angelo has outgrown her
provincial fire department. The
town that was San Angelo is the
city of San Angelo now and ought
to have public utilities common
surate with her rapid evolution.
A city of 1000 souls ought to have
better protection than San An
ge!o has The city 20 be of 10,-
600 inhabitants must have better
protection. Let's get in line for
the future.

POLICE HUNTING
FOR EVIDENCE
Suspected Saloon Foot
pads Are Not Yet
Identified.

Detectives Dinan and Wren, who ar
rested John Smith and Dennis OBrien,
eX-convicts with long records, on sus-
picion of being the two footpads who
operated in the saloons of John Bonner,
300 Turk street. John Sere, Seventh and
NatOma streets. and Henry Elmers, 1345
Sacramento street, worked on the case all
day yesterday to find the rooms occupied
by the two suspects in the hope of OBJ
tanning some discriminating evidence in
the shape of stolen watches. They were
not successful
Elmers, who had a look at the two men
on Wednesday night, told Chief Whitman
that he was almost morally certain that
would not swear to it. One of the men
who was in the saloon at the time ex-
pressed the same opinion.
About half an hour before the hold-up
in Elmers' saloon on Tuesday night two
men entered the grocery and saloon at
the corner of Washington and Leaven-
worth streets and had a drink. Two men
were in the barroom at the time The
actions Of the strangers aroused suspicion.
for when they left the grocery one re-
marked, We'll, / guess we will take a
car. They were watched and instead of
taking car they walked along Leaven-
worth street in the direction of Sacra-
mento. The grocer and the two men
who were in the barroom called at the
City Prison yesterday afternoon but
failed to identify either Smith or OBrien
as the strangers who had drink about
half an hour before the Elmers hold-up.

COMPLETES ROAD FOR
J. B. HAGGIN IN PERU
Engineer Welby, Who Constructed
Line From Lima to Millionaire's
Copper Mines. Has Returned

A E. Welby, one eof the best-known
railroad engineers in the country, who
went to Peru a year ago to superintend
the construction of road for j. B. Hag-
gin and his mining associates, returned
yesterday and is staying at the Occi-
dental Hotel The road, which is now
practically completed, extends from Lima
eastward to the copper properties owned
by the Haggin interests, a distance of
seventy-five miles. 1t was started at an
elevation of II 900 feet above the sea and
has it's terminous at elevation of
II 600 feet. The construction work was
accomplished with considerable difficulty
but the builder had ample funds and he
used a large force of native labor The
mines that the road taps Welby says,
yield ore that runs as high as 40 per
cent in copper. 1t took twelve months
to complete the line and his work being
done Welby has returned to California to
join his family, which is sojourning in
the southern part of the State. Some
years ago he was the general superintend-
ent of the Rio Grande Western Railroad
and, he gained considerable notoriety by
transforming $50 miles of that line from
a narrow to a standard gauge Ill one day.
