has been known for some time
and all kinds of rumOrs have been
floating as to what they propose
to do. Last Thursday General
Manager II. ]. Simmons and Mr..
Dodge of that road were here in
their private car. A few days
later lot of lookout men came
in and left overland in the direC-
tion of the San Juan country,
which we understand is to be cross
ed by the new road. Tuesday
morning the largest lot of surve-
yOrs that have yet been in the
locality arrived here with a car
load of provisions and another
car of horses and it is under
stood that they will begin work
at once. They have pitched
their tents near the ball grounds
for the present. Gallup Repub-
lican.

Durango to Get Roads.
From the Denver Post:

From the Denver Post:
Durango has two new railroads
in sight-one said to be an out
right Hartman project, and the
other being promoted by Colora-
do and Utah men, vino are sup
posed to be backed by Gould.
Both are to go south from Du-
range, the former drifting to
the southeast to Albuquerque,
and the latter going to the west
passing through Arizona and
thence to Guaymas, Mexico.
The latter project was outlin-
ed in the Post few days ago.
The line is to run from Salt Lake
through the Moab and Paradox
valleys. From Durango it taps
the rich agricultural country
around Pennington, N. NJ, the
great coal and coke fields of
ThOreau and vast timber lands
in Arizona. The enterprise con-
templates an expenditure OF
$4,000, 900.
Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1904-10-08

Since last spring engineers
have been in the field surveying
a line southeast from Durango,
and there has been much specu-
lation regarding the interest
behind the enterprise. 1t is now
stated on what is believed to be
excellent authority that it is a
Hartman project and that it's
purposed is to open up the coal
fields of La Plata county for use
by the Southern Pacific system,
which has no coal off it's line
between California and New Or
leans. 1t depends largely upon
California crude petroleum for
fuel. All long haul railroads
own or control coal properties
if possible, and the Southern
Pacific has long felt the need of
it's own fuel supply. La Plata
county, Colo, offers the nearest
deposits to it's line.

Surveyors in Gallup.

1t all depends upon your ability
to guess these days whether or
not you know anything about
the new railroad or railroads that
are being planned to pass through
Gallup. There have been three
different sets of men here in that
many weeks, all of them we're
surveyors. One set is said to
have been the Rock Island gang,
the other the Southern Pacific
and the present bunch are said
to represent the Phelps-DOdge
interests. the Phelps-DOdge
people own the Ell Paso south
western railroad which they
built some few years ago III order
to haul the products of their
Copper Queen and other copper
mines. The charges made by
the Southern Pacific before their
road was built were prohibitive
and these gentlemen were unable
to get concessions from the com
pany and the only thing left fol-
them to do was to build the road.
This they did, SO it is understood
without ever selling a share Of
stock and the proceeds of the
mine paid for the road as it was
built.
Much the same condition ex
lists today with the company 81
far as fuel is concerned. The
freight charges made for haul
ing coal to the smelters is exces
sive and they propose to builc
their own road in order to ge
fuel in at a reasonable price.
That they have had their eye
on the bio coal fields at Gallu

TO PREVENT WRECKS
Merriam Park Man Invents
Engineers Alarm.

Models of a new device for the pre-
vention of railroad wrecks are on eX-
hibition in the windows Of a clothing
house at Seventh and Wabasha streets.
The apparatus is the invention of Ed
ward McClintock, of Merriam Park, and
is known as the McClintock locomotive
organized and incorporated with a cap
ital of $4,000, and steps are being
taken to secure the adoption Of the
system by Eastern roads.
The apparatus consists Of an electric
block system whereby engineers are
warned, by bell and light, when their
locomotives are approaching each other
on the same track either from the rear
or front.
The alarm apparatus is installed in
the engine cabs. A telegraph key is
provided wherewith the engineers of
trains in the same block can communi-
cate with each other and with stations
along the line.
The main stay of the device are the
auxiliary rails, two small steel ones on
which run small wheels attached to the
engine. These rails are insulated and
carry the current, which is provided by
q dynamo in the engine. The rails are
laid so that the middle of one on one
side of the track is flush with the end
of another on the other side. By this
method 1t is impossible for two trains
to meet at the end of a block.
There are two separate alarms in
each cab. The engineer by noticing the
position of his train in the block, can
tell by observing which alarm sounds
whether another train is approaching
him from behind or in front.
The purpose of the device is to pre-
vent head or rear-end collisions, pro-
vide a means Of warning to the engi-
neer when his train approaches an open
switch, a burned bridge or culvert, a
flooded section of track, or a train on
another railroad at crossing point
By means of the telegraph apparatus a
station agent can communicate with a
train that has passed his station with
out orders or through misunderstand-
ing of them.
Plans are on foot to secure the per-
mission of the North Western road for
a test of the device on it's system. Of
ficials of many of the railroads indorse
the device highly, although the inven-
ton has not as yet been officially rec
ognized by the roads.

'Is it not true that charges OF un-

at do not care to talk about 1t; good
day." and Mr.. Beardsley refused to say
anything more, except that he believed
Mr.. McVey would be able to explain
matters in satisfactory manner when
the proper time came.
Secretary Stine, of the Commercial
club, said he had not heard anything
about the charges of unfairness made
against Mr.. McVey but he believed
that if the charges made were found to
be true, that it would be just as well
for st. Paul to have some one else IN
charge of the Twin City exhibit.
1--WE certainly would not want such
a man in charge of our exhibit at st.
Louis" said Mr.. Stine.
Despite the refusal of Secretary
Beardsley to say whether or not the
Chamber of Commerce had taken up
the charges, it is believed that the mat
ter has been fully investigated, and IL
was rumored last night that the st.
Paul members Of the joint commission
will insist upon the removal or the

JUVENILE PLAYERS
ACHIEVE A TRIUMPH
They Present Two Dramas and
Vaudeville Bill at the Odeon
Before Big Audience.

Several hundred people gathered al
Odeon hall yesterday afternoon to wit
ness a unique performance. A dozen
boys and girls, none over fourteen
years Of age, disported themselves
upon the stage for more than an hour
to the intense delight of parents,
friends and relatives in the audience.
The Metropolitan Juvenile company
which gave the performance, first saw
the light of day in the loft of a. barn
last summer. A nickel was the admis-
sion fee then, but the man who Woulo
have tried to offer it to witness the per-
formance yesterday afternoon, would
have been in danger Of his life. For
the performance was distinctly high
class vaudeville" effort, as the pro-
gramme announced. =
I A double bill was presented; "a So
cial Outcast" and 1.-THE New Woman's
Husband" in addition to numerous
vaudeville stunts. James Corm1can
(aged fourteen), under whose direction
the elaborate production was staged
and produced, made hit in the first
bill as Lawrence Emmet, disguised as
Meandering Mich, a tramp.
His delightful presentation Of a
pedestrian of the rural highways won
him great applause. Master Cormican
possesses undeniable histrionic talent.
Lyle La Pine, as the Hon. Frank
Kenmore, made a hit but little less
pronounced than that of James Cor
mican. Harry Howe, Catherine Cor
mican and Alvira Manton all came In
for their share Of applause, which was
not unmertted.
Little HazePs TwinkIing Toes.
Little Hazel Baehr, of Minneapolis,
billed as the pride of the up-river burg,
won the hearts Of the audience with
her sweet voice and twinkling toes.
Lyle La Pine, in his songs, ran Hazel
a close second for the applause. Little
Master O'Brien bravely faced the audi
ence and gave an exhibition of clog
dancing that was the envy of every
little boy in the hall.
"The California Poppies," "Messrs." +"
La Pine, Manton, Carley and Turey,
eXcelled in their act and were repeat
edly encored. 1t remained, however,
for the pride of the Twin Cities, Master
house down with roar that caused
pedestrians on st. Peter street to stop
and look around.
Following the olio came 'The Haunt
ed House." a comedy sketch, and "The
New Womans Husband" In the lat
ter, Gladys Carley scored hit as Mrs.
Sheep, and Catherine Cormican as Mrs.
Flash.
Taken altogether, the performance
was one of the most pleasing exhibits
of juvenile genius ever witnessed. The
acting was spontaneous and unaffected
and the humor contagious. Not one of
the many children in the audience left
the hall without feeling a secret pang
of envy arising in his or her breast.
and without forming a resolution to
become a great actor or actress.
