The Las Vegas Optic says: Mrs.
Fred Eckles, wife of the railroad man
residing at No. 1904 Diamond avenue,
died this forenoon, leaving two small
children. The remains of the wife and
mother, whose death is SO deeply de-
plored, will be shipped to Chicago.
H. B. Thomas, who has been the ac-
c%ommodating day ticket clerk at the
local Santa Fe station the past few
weeks, has resigned that position to
accept a similar position at Denver. w.
C. Carpenter, who has heretofore been

George H. Daniel, general passenger
agent of the New York Central, author
i~tatively denied the report that the
Central contemplates the withdrawal
If it's twenty-hour train between New
York and Chicago. Mr.. Daniel said
these trains would be continued in
spite of the fact that the January re-
ceipts showed that the New York Cen
trail and Lake Shore roads had handled
$4,000 cars more of freight tnan in the
corresponding months of last year.
The shortage of freight cars on the
Santa FEES western lines has been
noted several times but that effecting
the shipments of oil has not yet been
written of. 1t is now announced by the
company that, owing to the shortage OF
tank cars, it is ten days behind on the
delivery of its own oil, while it is un'
able to furnish the Fullerton Oil com
pany, whose oil it hauls, a single car
The transportation department is now
being besieged by the producers who
are anxious to get their oil to the mar
ket. Owing to the famine the oil com
panies of the San Bernardino district
are unable to fill their contracts.
A Southern Pacifis railway employe
in talking of the Tucson wreck, says
that Engineer Ingram, of L%ordsburg
is certainly a lucky man. 1t was In
grams time to go out with the fata
No. 8 from Lordsburg, but feeling I'm
well he decided to lay off for a trip. Ii
his place wen Engineer Wilkie, who
met such a frightful death in the
wreck. About six weeks g ingram
had another and similar lucky escape
from death. He stepped off his engine
at Lordsburg, and a short time after
ward it's boiler blew up, almost com
pletely demolishing the iron monster
A still more peculiar feature of the cir
cumstance is that it was this same en-
CINE which was in the Tucson disaster
A number of new and revised publ
cations of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway have reached the ter
ritorial papers. They are: ITO Cali
fornia over the Santa Fe Trail" al
artistically printed and illustrated bool
of over 200 pages that is not short o
bNAhS NidSoANt SuillOl llo IAtoOll i
tells" a beautiful little pamphlet tina
reveals visions of comfort and ele
gance for which southern Californi;
hotels have no equal anywhere; "Ari
iona Health Resorts" profusely illus
trated; and California Tours VII
Santa Fee" also illustrated; and a.
illustrated folder entitled Southern
California" Advertising in such al
tractive shape must certainly do tn
anti Fe an immense amount of goo,
and the passenger department must b
congratulated upon the good taste dis
played in compiling and publishing thi
effective advertising matter.
