IS A CAR A RESIDENCE?
Legal Question Has Been Decided in
Chicago Courts.

a case was recently brought before an
election board in Chicago, involving the
question as to whether a railroad car sit
uated on a side track can be considered a
permanent residence, under the law. a
man who had been living in a railroad
car located on side track had registered
and the board of revision had stricken
ground that a car can not be considered
permanent residence; Wien the matter
that he was working on tine track and
boarded in the car, which had been
switched near the scene of operations.
The examination showed that the side
track on which the car stands was cut
off from the main line, so that, at the
time considered, it was Impossible to
move the car. The court neld that under
the circumstances the car was "a perma-
nent residence and the mans name was
restored to the voting list.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Ell PasO and Southwestern LIS a
Unique Railroad.
Built by Private Capital to At
ford Outlet from Mines.

mage Is Net Profit.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
In Railroad Circles.
COST WAS SS,OOO,O 900

One of the unique railroad PROPOSE
tions in the United States is the Ell
Paso & Southwestern railroad, which
Is owned in its entirety by Phelps, Dodge
& Co. and was originally built to afford
that firm an outlet for its mining pro-
jects. It has no bonds outstanding upon
st and a capital stock of $1,000, 900. The
road is about 500 miles in length and
runs from Benson, Arizona, to Ell Paso
tn competition withe the Southern Pa
cif1c. 1t also runs south to Naczari,
Mexico, where Phelps, Dodge & Co.
have a producing property, and to
Douglas, Arizona, thereby connecting
most of the Phelps-Dodge properties in
the United States and Mexico.
The Phelps-Dodge properties contrib
ute 25 per cent of the total freight ton
mage of the system, and that tonnage
more than pays the total operation ex-
penses of the property, leaving the bal
Rnce, or rs per cent of the tonnage, as
profit.
This road was built with the profits
arising from 17-cent copper when the
Amalgamated Copper company held
the umbrella a few years ago. 1t cost
about IS, 900, 900 and is a profitable pro-
position. Passenger rates are 6 and Z
rents per mile and freight rates pro-
portionately large.
Owing to the disinclination of the
Southern Pacific to extend its Arizona
lines, other Arizona copper properties
have followed the example of Phelps,
Dodge & Co. in building railroads. The
Arizona Copper company built the Ari-
zona & New Mexico railroad, 20 miles
from Clifton to a Southern Pacific con-
nection at Lordsburg, which is a we'll
paying property, and Senator William
"A. Clark built the United Verde & Pa
rifle railroad, narrow gauge road, %
miles, connecting Jerome, Arizona, with
the Santa Fe, Phoenix & Prescott rail-
Boad.

MAY MAKE INVESTIGATION.

pertinent for Employees Safety.


Washington, Nov. Let is under
stood that the department of COM
merce and labor is considering max
ing an investigation into conditions in
southern California, in the fruit trade
and all that relates thereto in order
to ascertain what, if anything, will
promote this industry. 1t is not I'M
derstood that, as yet any determina-
arrived at, and probably no such de-
termination will be arrived at until
after the interstate commerce commits
sion has announced its decision in the
long-pending case of the California
fruit growers and shippers against
the Southern Pacific and the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railways.
That part of the case still unde-
cided, but upon which it is now eX
pected a decision will be announced
early in December, is the one relating
to the blanket rate of $1.25 per hun
dred pounds on oranges to eastern
points.
Railroad freight rates do not come
within the province of the department
of commerce and labor for investiga-
ton. All that the department can do
in matters like the one proposed to be
investigated, is prescribed in the law
creating the department.
However, it has come to the atten-
ton of the department that from one
cause and another, Californias fruit
business has suffered something of
of sufficient Importance to warrant
giving some consideration to the sub
Ject of investigating the whole in
