 If there are any Bisbeeites contem- plating a trip to the Worlds Exposi- ton at St Louis, via Fl Paso, the writ CT advises procuring sleeping car ac- commodations a week to ten days in advance. If not, the bed you will get is an upper" and you cant help but feel thankful for that. The heavy passenger traffic has already set in, and the roads out of Fl Paso find their resources taxed to the utmost to accommodate the travel The Rock Island Route seems to be the favorite between Fl Paso and Kansas City This road has habit, akin 10 that Of the E. P. & s. w., of being right on the dot,'' and the traveller can leave Bisbee Sunday morning and arrive in Kansas City Tuesday morning at s:35. While the road bed has been in use only little more than two years, it is free from heavy grades. and the track is in first-class shape. The sec ond day out the traveller awakes at Santa Rosa, the end of the first divis- ion out of Fl Paso. in the northern part of New Mexico.
 A broad-brimmed Westerner got on here en route to Dalhart. where a branch of the Rock Island goes off east to Memphis, Tenn. Your cor respondent engaged him in conversa- tion, and found he was in the sheep business in New Mexico. Nearly everybody is in the sheep business in New Mexico, and most of them wish they were out of it this year. There has been no rain in New Mexico since last September. which corresponds 70 the same conditions in Arizona. My companion stated that on the ranges in New Mexico sheep had died by the thousands. and the lamb crop was a complete failure. Residents in this section are awful down in the mouth
 From Fl Paso 10 Dalhart, in the Panhandle country, the towns are mostly small frame affairs, hastily constructed upon the advent of the railroad. and the country is sparsely settled. With good rains it would be a grazing country second to none in the West-but it hasn't rained, and the barren tracts and barbed wire fences are the most inviting scenes presented. For scenic beauty the Rock Island is a complete failure, but for fast time and easy riding is all that the yellow back folder claims for il.
