Iuuent business trips to the Capital
Itity.
''The proposed Roswell extension of
the Santa Fe Central railway" said
Captain w. G. Reid, assistant United
States attorney, will not only mean
much for both Roswell and Santa Fe
+ ON commercial standpoint, but 1t
will curtail many miles of travel now
necessary in going from Roswell to
! ANITA Fe or vice versa. Instead of
.,aving to travel approximately 700
miles to reach the Capital City, trav-
| elslng Colorado and Texas to reach
here but 225 miles of direct travel will
be necessary and the trip will be made
in ten hours, instead of spending two
days and two nights on the road.
The Santa Fe Central by extending
its line to Roswell will afford a gate
way to the outside world for the rich
country that lies in the Pecos valley
Railroads are essential and potent fac
tors in the growth of communities,
ard the more miles of railroad con-
IT acted in the Territory of New
Mexico, the better off we are"
w. P. Turner, secretary of the
chamber of commerce of Roswell, is
another exponent of the advantages to
be derived by both Roswell and San
ia Fe, by the extension of the Santa
Fe Central system from Torrance to
Roswell
'"Ihis extension of the Santa Fe
Central from Torrance to Roswell,
will not only open up rich and fertile
country through the Pecos valley,
where there is plenty of fodder for
cattle and sheep, but it would mater
tally enhance the commercial possibili-
ties of both Roswell and Santa Fe. In
addition to this, the trip between the
two cities will be made IN ten hours,
and cut off hundreds of miles of travel,
as the citizens of Roswell, who today
have business at the Capital City,
have to go via Trinidad, and travel up
wards of 700 miles to reach there Let
the ties and bands of steel that will
connect Roswell with Santa Fe be laid
at once, for they can be laid none too
soon, to suit the best interests of all
concerned"

The Largest FIume in the World.

After two years spent in corStruc-
ton, the greatest flume in the world
has recently been opened at MADEIRA,
Cal, in the heart of the redwood for
ests, about 1855 miles from San Fran
cisco. Practically the thing is nothing
but Il V-shaped wooden trough, the re-
markable fact being that it is SO 3-S
miles long, or, including the numerous
feeders" which branch off at inter-
walls, II miles. The trough is of wood
double two-inch planking, and is forty
six inches across the top. This trough
is carried on scaffolding over gorges
and valleys, and passes through rock
cuts in the mountains keeping as close
ly as possible to a regular even de-
scent like that Of an aqueduct. Water
from the mountain streams is collected
at the upper end of the fume and fur
niShes the steady current on which logs
two feet in diameter are to be carried
down in endless procession. The ca
pacity of the flume is 100000 feet of
lumber daily. The logs are delivered
at the railroad while the water is di-
verified into the MADEIRA canal to be used
for irrigating purposes. When the
mills above are busiest, the great logs
are launched into the flume SO close
together that the ends almost touch,
and the great chain winds along at the
rate of 8 IL miles an hour. At the
entrance to each feeder which is in
operation a skilful man must be. at
hand to keep the logs from jamming as
the side stream joins the main current
One feature of the great work, aside
from its economic aspects, must appeal
to lovers of adventure. 1t appears
that several men have gone the length
of the flume in canoes choosing days,
presumably when it was not in use for
transporting lumber. Starting in the
depths of the forest, the canoeist pass
es out over the foothills and down long
mountain slopes to the level of Or
chards and farms, to disembark sud-
denly at the railroad siding. The lum-
bermen frequently have seen fish in the
fume. and the voyager on it's surface
| could perhaps provide his own meals
| by the way.

proved by the ladies of Japan, who
actually display their cycle of years by
the way in which they arrange their
hair
Girls from to Is wear their hair in
terlaced with red crepe in semi
circle around the head, the forehead
being left free with a curl at each
side. From the ages of Is to 80 the
hair is dressed very high on the fore
head and gathered up at the back in
the shape of a butterfly or fan, with
twistings of silver cord and perhaps a
decoration of colored balls.
Beyond the milestone of 80 woman
twists her hair around a shell pin
placed horizontally at the back of the
head. Quite differently, again, a
widow arranges her couture, and the
initiated are able to tell at Il glance
whether or not she desires to marry
again.
