This follows upon the heels of the an
nouncement of the trackage alliance
between the Rock Island, Santa Fe
and Ell Paso & Northeastern rail
roads, and it is also announced thai
the Belen cutoff be instantly pushed
to completion.
Tucumcari will derive a great dea
Of benefit from this new deal, as ir
addition to the regular Santa Fe traf
fic which will go over the main liae
of the Rock Island from Hutchinson
Kan, to Llano and thence west via
Belen, the business OF the Southern
Kansas branch of the Santa Fe VII
come through Tucumcari over tie
Choctaw, by way of Amarillo, Texas
AS this will be a division point for the
Lnoctaw, and the Rock Island, it will
doubtless be the same for the Santa
Fe. 1t means that Tucumcari viii
have population of six to eight thou
sand people within the next two oi
three years.
Although the town is at present dull
due to the stoppage of work on ths
Choctaw, there has been more hai,r
ign going on than ever before. A num-
Der of handsome cottages are going
up in the Russell addition, and great
many more are contemplated. Work
was started last week on handsome
$4,000 brick school building, and work
will be started in October some tine
on $25,0O0 court house and $4,000
Jail. The big boilers for the electric
light plant are being made, and it is
the intention OF the company having
this in charge to have its light plant,
steam laundry and ice plant in run
ming order by December. The plant,
when completed will cost something
over $4,000.
A joint depot for the Santa Fe, Ell
paso & Northeastern, Rock Island and
Choctaw railroads is contemplated,
also Joint round houses and shops lor
all of these roads.
Tucumcari is destined to be the
commercial and railroad center OF
eastern and central New Mexico, and
has the most desirable location OF
any town along the Rock Island rail
road in New Mexico.

BOOMING THE FAIR.
Scott Knight Arrives in Town With
Gang Of Bill Posters in
Special Car.

The much heralded advertising car
OF the New Mexico Territorial fair
which is to be held at Albuquerque,
| October 12 to II, landed in the city
Tuesday night in charge OF Scott
Knight. and loaded with a corps OF
able bill posters, paste and papers suf-
ficient to advertise the best circus in
the business. The car is beautifully
decorated and some of the few attrac-
tions that will be given at Albuquer
que are enumerated thereon. Immedi
ately upon arrival in Santa Fe they
got busy and the town is now thor
oughly familiar with the fact that
there will be big fair at Albuquer
que in October.
The horse racing this year will be a
big feature, the association having
hung up $4,000 which should attract
the best horses in the country. The
big Edgewood and Bull Durham stake
races for which purse of $1,000 each
has been offered, will certainly attract
many OF the best horses. No mark
made after June /, 1908, is bar to
the 2:13 pace or the 2:17 pace which
will allow horses to start that have
been and are now making big records
in the East.
The COW boy tournament, for which
$4,000 is offered in purses, is sure to
bring the best ropers and bronco
busters to albuquerque during that
week. In fact the management has
received list of cow boys VINO will
participate in this event, very nearly
filing their limit OF the number that
can take part in this tournament
Base bail will be a big feature and
attract unusual interest from the fact
that it is confined to local players out
side of three professional men, and
will undoubtedly be the means of
bringing more teams to Albuquerque
than have ever taken part in base ba-l
contests before.
The big mineral exhibit that will go
to the Worlds fair Immediately after
it's exhibition at Albuquerque will be
the best ever gathered in the West,
and it is more than possible that this
New Mexico exhibit will get the first
money at st. Louis the same as she
did in Chicago The Southern Carni-
val company with it's 300 people and
it's many attractions, which is consid-
cred to be superior to any other
show of this character in the United
States, will entertain the people dur
ing the fair. for six days and nights.
Taking it all in all, it looks to the
New Mexican as though this fair
would far surpass anything of the kind
ever held in the West; and Santa Fe
will send her share of exhibits, and
people to assist in making the fair a
big success.

M1LL1oNA1RE's POOR STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach Of the over.fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example Of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the only
ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs.
The proportion is far greater among the
toilers. Dyspepsia and Indigestion are
rampant among these people, and they
suffer far worse tortures than the million
aire unless they avail themselves of q
standard medicine like Green's August
flower. which has been a favorite house
hold remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty-fve years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating ap-
petite and insuring perfect digestion. It
tones and vitalizes the entire system and
makes life worth living, no matter what
your station. Trial bottles, IS cents;
regular size. IS cents.
