ERECTION OF A HOTEL
Party of New York Capitalists To Do
So Here If Suitable Location
Can Be Had.

A rumor has been current the past
few days that party of New York
capitalists were in Santa Fe on bust.
ness connected with the erection of a
large hotel here. 1t Is said their in
tention is to build hotel that will ca.
ter to the tourist trade exclusively and
it will be extensively advertised all
over the country, together with the re-
sources and advantages of the Capital
City as a health resort. This plan, ii
carried out, would be good thing for
the city, and in all probability would
be the means of inducing much out
side capital to be invested here. There
is no reason why Santa Fe cannot be
made the leading health resort of the
country, as it has all the natural ad-
vantages that go to make up both sum.
mer and winter resort. The parties
who are contemplating the erection OF
this hotel are fully investigating
things around here and If suitable
site can be purchased and suhicient
encouragement is given, there is NO
question but that the Capital City will
have another first-class and up-to-date
hotel.

Major w. H. H. Llewellyn, of Las

past few days, and the Post OF that
city in a recent issue published the fol-

"Major w. H. H. Llewellyn, of Las

Major Llewellyn has wide acquaint

States, and has visited many of then
in recent days. Speaking with Pos
reporter of political conditions in his
Nsection, the former gallant officer o1
Rough Riders and personal friend Of
the President said:
"'My unprejudiced opinion is thai
Colonel Roosevelt will not lose single
State in the West, not even excepting
Nevada. That he will carry Colorado
Utah, Idaho, and Montana is about as
certain as that Iowa will be carried BY
him. 1t is true that in Colorado there
have been labor troubles growing out
of the miners strikes, but the vast
body of the miners are not placing
their troubles at the Presidents door,
knowing full well that he had no share
therein, nor can he by the greatest
stretch of fancy be held responsible
for any of the results of the struggle
between the operators and their en-
ployes. On the other hand, the men
who WELD the pick are almost unit

stood that Russia will recognize the
validity of the American and the Brit
ish view differentiating between condi-

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1S-A later Of

hoft. He was standing on the bridge of
the Rossia when it was wrecked by a
shell.
Two Russian cruisers were literally
ridded, their guns and engines being
partially dismantled. The escape of
Russian vessels from the Japanese is
regarded as piece Of wonderful luck.
1t is presumed that the pursuers of the
Russian ships did not dare go further
north, fearing vessels of the Port Ar.

the straits of Korea.

ern Railroad, Defendant Company
Cannot Proceed Until Prior
ity Right Of Way is
Established.

In granting the permanent injunc
ton, prayed for by the San Antonio
and Eastern Railroad Company agains
the New Mexico Midland Railway Com
pany, restraining the latter from using
the road bed of the abandoned branch
of the Santa Fe Railroad system be-
| tween San Antonio and Carthage, after
a two days hearing of the evidence
pleadings and arguments in the case
Judge Frank w. Parker rendered an
oral decision in substance as follows:
"The point in the case is the ques
ton of priority Of location of right-of
way by two railroad corporations. The
plaintiff company on the tenth day OF
June, 1904, by resolution of it's board
of directors, adopted a survey, field
notes and plats made under the SUI
pervision of Professor Herrick, of So.
zorro, formerly president of the New
Mexico University, in the United
States Land Office. At this time the
defendant corporation had not organ
lied. 1t did organize on the eleventh
day of June, 1904, at Santa Fe, on
which day right of way was adopted
by the corporation. The right-of-way
of the San Antonio and Eastern Rail
road of the right-of-way of the New
Mexico Midland Railway Company
are practically identical. This raised
the question as to how right-of-way
is acquired by railroad COMPANY"
The court held that priority of To-
cation location consisting of the max
ing of a survey on the ground and the
adoption Of the survey by the corpora
tion), was the all important point in
the case. This left the defendant COM
pany in an inferior position to that of
the plaintiff; however, the court did
not decide the ultimate rights of the
parties in controversy, that question
being now pending before che secre-
tary of the interior, who has power to
decide such questions. The court sim
ply looked into the respective rights
Of the contending corporations to de-
termine whether or not an injunction
should be issued. The injunction is
sued against the defendant company
restraints it from further construction
of it's railroad, except that it may CON-
plete any bridge it has partially con-
structed, if it so desires.
The court required a bond Of $40
