Santa Fe Office Building Was Afre,
Instead

A fire broke out in the Santa F'e Office
building a EmpOria Tuesday afternoon
and had it not been for the timely work
of the rOundhouse fire department. the
Office building would be in ashes. The
upper part of the building is occupied
by Yardmaster Morse, stenographer,
two operators, Division Foreman Good
hue and his clerk, while below. on the
first floor. is the Santa Fe storehouse.
The frse started in the morning from
a fire made in thawing out some frozen
steam pipes between the ceiling of the
first and the floor of the second story.
All morning the men smelled burning
pine but We're unable to locate the fire.
The smell was blamed onto one of the
operators cigarettes, until the real
thing suddenly burst through and en-
velOped the building in smoke. In an
instant after the fire was discovered all
the men had left the building and the
rooms were full of smoke. The fire de-
partment made a sensational run around
the house with the hose cart and after
connections were made 1t was but a short
time till the fire was under way, but
the offices and all the paraphernalia
were well drenched. The operators had
to leave their keys and it was fully an
hour that there We're no dispatches re-
ceived or sent out of Emporia.

SCATTERED THE LETTERS.
California Limited Mail for Lawrence
Net an Accident.

The catcher failed to get its hooks
on the mail sack thrown from the Santa
Fe's California Limited yesterday, says
the Lawrence Journal. and as a conse-
queuce there was a rapid and wide dis
tribution of mail. The sack seems to
have been carried to the bridge or be-
yond, falling into the wheels. and after
that remarkably quick work was done.
Letters were scattered at a rate that
would have made even Newt Johnson
give up his job in despair if he had tried
to throw them as fast. The drivers fol-
lowed up the tracks and picked out all
the letters and packages that could be
found although it is possible there are
many yet buried in the snow. If you
are looking for a letter and fail to get
it, just console yourself with the thought
that It is probably lying beside the track
up near the reservoir.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Will Build From POr-
tales TO San Angelo.
Forms a Short Line From Gal
weston to the Coast.
CONTRACTOR EXPLAINS
Says 1t Is the Next Important
Extension to Be Built.
Proposed TexicO Terminus Is
Abandoned.

While in Topeka yesterday promin-
ent railway contractor who does a great
deal of work for the Santa Fe road,
and who is in close touch with the
plans which the directors and officials
Of that company have in mind said to a
reporter for the State Journal:
In about one year. the Santa Fe will
announce a new 300 mile extension to
connect Albuquerque with Galveston.
The general plans for this extension
have already been made. 1t win begin
at Portales. and viii connect with the
Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe line probably
at San Angelo, Texas. San Angelo is
the western terminus Of the G. c. &
g. f.
1T is practically certain that the
Santa Fe win continue it's New Mexico
cutoff eastward from Llano junction to
Portales. This portion of the work has
been temporarily held up. awaiting the
outcome Of the plan which the Santa Fe
had in mind for building south from
Dodge City to Liberal, and either par
alleling the Rock Island, or securing
traclage rights over the Rock Island
from Liberal to Blanc junction.
THE proposed new line through to
Galveston viii be one Of the most i'm
portant extensions ever built by the
Santa Fe. Tt will give to that road a
4AA NNh AiAAE AAQAlA +4cAt iQl4 10 AAlE d.
cifc coast and viii place it on a COM
petitive basis with the Southern Pacific
which now has the most direct lines be-
tween the Gulf and the Pacific AS I
say. the plans for this new extension
are not Yet fully formulated. but it is
safe to say that unless some unexpect-
ed developments occur within the next
~ months, active preparations win be
commenced on this new line"
AT the time the Eastern Railway of
New Mexico was Incorporated, provision
was made for the junction of that road,
which is now generally known as the
New Mexico cutoff" with the Pecos
valley lines at Texico. with a branch
line from about so miles west of Texico
angling OFF to the south and crossing the
Pec0s lines at Portales. It appears that
now the plan is changed, and that in
stead OF building to TeXicO, the line viii
be built to Portales thus avoiding the
necessity Of building two almost paraI-
lel lines, one going to Texico and one to
Portales.
The object which was to be achieved
by the POrtales line was a more direct
route to Galveston than would be gain
ed by the Texico terminus 1t now
seems to be decided that the Portales
line will answer the purpose both as a
Galveston line, and main line from the
east to Rio Puerco. the western ternf-
nus of the cutoff.

NUDGE SENDS uLTIMATUM
Santa Fe VIII Pay $4,000 for caney
Right Of WAY.

The Caney Chronicle says: A letter
received by S. NJ Porter from H u
Nudge conveys the information that the
Santa Fe company. win give $4,000 for
the right of way between Caney and
Havana, and not a cent more.
AS has already been said in the
Chronicle, the officials Of that road feel
that they are Offering all the right of
way is worth. and that all above that
price is, as they style it ssholdup'' mon
ey.
The right Of way takes a fraction over
SO acres of land, which estimated at $50
an acre would be 1880, and there is
but little of the land worth that much.
There is no use of clubbing. If the
people of Caney want the Santa Fe.
and there is no doubt but they do,
they win have to provide for the right
of way above 5000. If we let the Santa
Re cutoff go by it win be the hardest
blow Caney has ever had.
Caney can't have too many railroads.

Painting Spells.
Revived by Artificial
Respiration.
DIR. Miles Heart Cure
Cured Wife.

Painting spells are a sure indication Of a
weak heart. The heart cannot do the work
required of it and stops beating. If it ceases
for more than a minute death ensues. Weak
hearts must have aid from the outside, such
as DR.. Miles Heart Cure alone can give. 1t
is heart tonic. 1t regulates the pulse, en-
riches the blood and improves the circulation.
s'For two years my wife was in very poor
health. At FIRST her back troubled her
great deal, then she had shortness of breath
and irregularity of the periods. The pain
in her back grew worse and extended to the
connection Of the spinal cord at the base of
the brain and from there to her heart She
had two very bad sinking spells, when the
pain IN her heart was most intense and her
breath stopped. The second time we had to
resort to artificial respiration to revive her.
We were advised to give DR.. Miles Heart
Cure a trial and bought bottle and began
giving it as directed. We found the doses
were too strong, SO I gave her half-doses
three times day, and she began TO improve.
After she had taken two bottles the pains
were all gone and she was feeling like a new
woman She continued the Heart Cure in
small doses for several months and is now
enjoying better health than for the past six
years.r-M. J. THOMPSON, Dept. County
