Santa Fe May Not Be Able to Enter
Mexican Border

Austin, Tex, Nov. 25.-There is much in
terest taken in commercial and financial
circles of Mexico in the announcement by
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fee
road that his system is to enter that
country by extending the Cane Belt rail-
road in Texas for distance of about SEQ
miles to a connection with the Mexican
Eastern railroad. There is some doubt ex-
pressed, however, to whether the Mex
lean government can grant concession to
the Santa Fe or any other railroad to
cross the strip of country 80 miles wide
bordering on the Rio Grande, its con-
tract with the National railroad of Mex
leo gives that road the exclusive right TO
occupy that zone for period of twenty
years
INSPECT THE CANE BELT
Galveston, Tex, Nov. 25.-The Gulf, Col
orado and Santa Fe has acquired the Cane
Belt railway. This statement was confirm
ed by Colonel l. J. Polk, vice president,
and General Manager Nixon of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe, who left tonight
in their special cars to make a thorough
inspection of the Cane Belt railway and
its physical condition with view of as
suming control and operating it in the
near future When Vice President Polk
was asked if it was the intention of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe to build an
extension of the Cane Belt east from Bay
City to connection with the main line of
the Santa Fe at Alvin, he replied that was
a proposition for future consideration
which he was not prepared to discuss at
present.

Calf Killed by a Mateor.

A peculiar accident happened at L.
Metzens farm one morning last week.
A large meteor passed very near the
earth in the vicinity of the Metzen

against a post and break its neck.

heard the racket made by the calf as it
ran over a cream separator and struck
the pump before coming in contact with
