CHEAP TRIPS FROM COAST.
The Santa Fe Going After the Travel
to the East BY Cutting Rates
From Los Angeles.

Chicago, April 24.-The Santa Fe
passenger department has announced
cut in rates between Los Angeles
and Chicago and Los Angeles and
Kansas City, to take effect at speci
fed time. Beginning early in May and
ending the latter part of August, the
several transcontinental lines some
time ago announced single fare for
the round trip between Los Angeles
and various eastern points on account
of several conventions and other i'm
portant gatherings in eastern cities.
The Santa Fe now announces that
this single fare for the round trip
would also apply between Los Angeles
and Chicago and Los Angeles and
Kansas City on the dates specified in
the announcements of the Convention
Rates Association.
This makes a round trip rate to
Chicago from Los Angeles of $3.50,
and a round trip rate to Kansas City
from Los Angeles of $50. This is ap.
proximately one-half Of. the present
rates. The reduced rate tickets will
be good for sixty days.

FORTUNES IN LAMBS.
That Are Fed on Field Peas-Phenorn-
enaI Success Attained BY One
New Mexico Farmer.

Denver, April 24-W c. Metzger,
commercial agent for the Wabash, has
gone to Omaha with train load OF
5000 sheep b1led from Fort Collins
to Buffalo. oneep are now $3.25.
Somewhat earlier in the season they
sold for $3.4O, while lambs brought
the rich sum of $3.50 per hundred
pounds.
These prices opened the eyes p, OF
the people of the San Luis Valley and
of other sections, both in Colorado
and in New Mexico, as to a new possl-
bility. The people Of the San Luis
Valley in Colorado and of the Mesilla
and other valleys in New Mexico, are
able to get from their acreage a
phenomenal crop of peas. There is
nothing on earth so fattening to lambs
as peas, and there is nothing on earth
so fattening to the purse as fat lambs.
More than one man this season
cleaned up fortune on sheep and
lambs. One of the men who did this
was owen Sylvester, of Buena Vista,
New Mexico, who three years ago had
nothing and who this year cleaned up
the neat sum of $4,000 from his
sheep and pea-fed lambs.

TRAMPS ARE MIGRATING.
The Knights of the Road Are Leaving
Sunny California for Their Sum-
mer Haunts in the East.

Los Angeles, CAL, April 24.-There
has been marked diminution in'the
number of tramps and vagrants to be
found around the railroad yards OF
the Santa Fe in California, nearly all
of them having taken their departure.
Like the tourists who flee from the
rigors of the eastern winter and take
their flight for .Ae eastern states IN
the summer, so the knights OF the
road manage to make annual trips to
the Pacific coast; only they do not
travel quite so fast as their more for
tunate brethren. They are detected
and put off the trains every once in
awhile, and their trip to the west and
back to the east is marked by numer'
Gus visits to the county jails along the
way.

TO EXAMINE
ARID LANDS
National Legislators Will Visit
EI Paso Some Time During
the Month of June.
BIG PARTY is COMING
And will Investigate the Rio Grsnde
the Mesi|a Valley and the Ele-
phant Buttes Dam...To Look
Into Other Projects.

Ell Paso, Texas, April 24.-Next June
an important delegation will visit El
Paso. 1t is the congressional irriga,
ton investigating committee, that has
just definitely decided to take trip
through the southwest, and will visit
points in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona.
The exact date on which the party
will reach Ell Paso is not yet definitely
known, but it is stated that it will
not be later than June 5th and posi-
tive information, including the timer
airy of the trip, will be forwarded in
due time. While here it is stated that
the condition of the Rio Grande and
the various projects connected with ir-
rigation matters, will be examined in
to, especially regarding international
questions. The party will visit the
proposed dam site in New Mexico, and
will also go to the Tonto Basin and
other reservoir sites in Arizona.
The object of the trip is to enable
the members of the committee to be-
come personally acquainted with the
exact condition in localities where the
government proposes to erect any
reservoirs and dams SO lat they can
act intelligently in their recommends
tions in pending or future irrigation
legislation.
At the time of the late irrigation
IN, fric oit nffnpt
made to have the committee visit El
Paso, but the matter was not taken
up in time and so arrangements could
not be made.
A few members of the committee
have from time to time visited the
southwest, but they desire to come in
a bodv so as to be together to consult
on the various matters that may arise
during l..elr investigation.
The party will travel in private
cars, and in addition to their corps of
clerks and secre taries, will be accom-
panied by representatives of the en-.
gineering department for the reclama-
ton of arid lands.
AS soon as official and positive in
formation is received arrangements
will be undertaken by the mayor and
council and the Chamber of Com
merce for the reception of the dis
tinguished body. However, according
to advice from Washington the stay
of the party will be short in Ell Paso,
but they will probably remain here at
least day.

of Snow at Trinidad.

New Mexico has been visited with
rains which the Territory has expert.
enced for some time. Saturday Santa
Fe was given OF of an inch precipi,
tation and on Sunday 1.19 inches.
The rain storm which visited Albu-
querque last night was one of the
heaviest of the season, and from sew
en- o'clock on 1t came down steadily In
sheets. If, as reports indicate, the rain
has been general over the Territory, 1t
is likely that all the streams will
reach flood stage and news Of dam
aged railroads and injured crops may
be looked for.
A severe hail and rain storm swept
over the Rio Grande Valley from San
Marcial to White Rock Canon this
morning. 1t was of considerable dur
alton and the hail stones in sections
were very large. 1t is feared that
considerable damage to fruit trees
and vegetables was done.
At noon today it was still raining at
Estancia and had been raining for
two days. The roads are becoming
impossible and the arroyos and wat.
er courses are full.
At Trinidad, Colorado, there wss
twelve inches of snow yesterday and
this was followed today by rain. At
Lamar, Colorado, the rain has been
falling for forty hours continuously.

been coming down in sheets In that
vicinity and the plains are one great
inland sea. Passengers from the
south on the Ell Paso G. Northeastern
say that the rain has been general all
through the section traversed by that
railroad.
Later reports from Mckinley Coun.
ty indicate that. Ganado, Zuni, Round
Rock and other interior points are out
of provisions and there Is no possibili.
ty of reaching them owing to the
floods In streams and the deepness OF
the mud in the roads.
The railroads all through the Terri
tory are delayed owing to the track
and roadbed becoming softened and
all trains are running on slow orders.
The Santa Fe is experiencing trouble
clear through New Mexico and Art-
zona. The Rio Grande is on rise and
it is feared that there will be a big
flood.
1t has been raining in Arizona ever
since Saturday evening and the Gila
and Salt Rivers are rising rapidly and
washing away their banks. Much dam
age will result to the already Hood
washed country In the vicinity OF
these streams.
