Pueblo, According TO Contractor
George Good

That the Rock Island intends to
build to the Pacific coast, and to con-
meet with Denver through Colorado
Springs, Pueblo and FL Paso on the

morning by George S. Good, who is
now engaged in building the line from
Tucumcari to Dawson in New Mexico.
and who constructed over 500 miles of
the FL Paso & Northeastern and other
roads now used or controlled by the
Rock Island, says the Denver Times.
Mr. Good is one of the wealthiest and
largest railroad contractors in the
west and is considered as being as well
posted on railroad situations as any
man outside of the officials them
selves. He stated that the Rock Island
was destined for the coast and that
the road would absorb the small roads
which are now being built in the south
west, which will form the main line.
The Albuquerque Eastern is being
built from Albuquerque TO Santa Rosa
on the FL Paso line and will form the
first part of the new outlet TO the Pa
cific, The San Diego & Eastern is to
form the western end This is now
under way from San Diego Cal, which
has one or the best harbors in the
west, and is the destination OF the
Rock Island ito the Arizona border
In Arizona another company has
been incorporated, and also another in
New Mexico. Hqn Texas the company

Delegate Rodey's Work.

The Washington correspondent of
the Oswego, N. Y, Palladium, in writ
ing to his paper, says:
| heard a republican member of the
house "cussin' out" Delegate Rodey
the other day, and yet it was quite a
compliment to Rodey. 1t happened
this way: The member was first ex-
pressing his disgust because the house
passed the omnibus statehood bill at
the last session and was blaming the
committee on rules, and Chairman
Knox particularly, for reporting the
bill
why didn't you fellows get together
and defeat the bill in the house?" was
asked.
1T couldn't he DONE" said the irate
republican. That man Rodey had
been at work He sneaked around and
got pledges from everybody he could
He promised that New Mexico would
be republican state, and he was such
an insinuating fellow that the first we
knew he had enough of our fellows
pledged to carry the bill through"

CHINESE INDEMNITY.
European Powers Want Payment or
Indemnity in Gold.


London, Jan. 10.-The negotiations
between the powers regarding the
method of paying the Chinese indem-
nifty are proceeding.
Washington's acceptance of the Chi
nese proposal to pay In silver does not
meet with the cordial approval of Eu-
rope
A foreign Office official said today
TO a representative of the Associated
Press today:
America and England have both
been peculiarly generous to China, but
this last step meets with considerable
opposition in various quarters. We
are willing to do everything in our
power but the situation is very COM
plicated The Cnlnese say that IL they
have to pay it in golL, 1t will mean
their country's ruin. On the other
hand If the payment is made In silver
at the present value of the tael, tho
indemnity which was made as low as
it consistently could be made will be
enormously reduced. Possibly we may
be able to reach some conclusion
which will be satisfactory not only to
the United States. but to the other
powers who do not feel SO generously
inclined" .t e4t
