Letter to Correll \ Martin,
Mineral Point, Wis,

Dear Sirs: Clothing is just like
paint. Ii tits or it don't; turns weatn-
er or water or not; and goes ou: of
fashion.
What do we wear clothes for? Did
you ever think of it? Different per-
sons have different reasons, no doubt,
but one paints Devoe for beauty, TO
be in the fashion aud keep out water,
Fashion says paint we all paint,
There's beauty in paint; we paint a
good deal for that. And buildings
are costly and fashionable; put-on a
waterproof two OF three ccats OF
paint, and your buildings last as
long as you keep them dry 1t costs
nothing to keep paint; it costs your
buildings not 10.
Devoe is the paint that lasts; dis
appointing paints are the paints that
cost. Yours truly,
+. w. DEVoE Il Co,
New York and Chicago.

ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR LAS VEGAS.
Savings OF Many Miles from Dawson Coal Fields
to Arizona.

The I'll Paso Herald speaks OF the
new line projected from the Dawson
coal fields TO Arizona mines, passing
through Las Vegas. as follows:
Las Vegas will gain new connections
with I'll Paso. the Southwestern will
secure a o direct route between
the Dawson coal fields and the Arizona
mines and another step toward per-
fectine the Phelps.Dodge railroad sys.
tenn VIII be taken. II a proposed cutoff
Is built which Is now being surveyed
by Southwestern engineers The pro.
jected short line will be run from Daw.
son by way OF Las Vegas to a point
on the Northeastern below Santa Rosa.
IL. j. Simmons, general manager Of
the FL Paso & Southwestern system,
returned last night from the east, otter
a consultation with directors of the
company, and he announced this morn
Ing the intention Of the road to build
a cutoff In case the engineers pro.
nounced the plan feasible.
"A saving Of from 20 to 100 miles
will be effected by the change In
route from the Dawson fields" he ex.
planned. I'm addition to the saving In
distance we hope that there will be a
saving In grade as we'll"
"Will that mean the abandonment OF
the present Dawson route?"
II cannot say what will be done In
that respect"
Railroad men said today that they
believed n Of the chief items Of saw
ing which will result from the short
line will be the ownership by the
Phelps Dodge company Of the entire
line from Dawson to Bisbee and Doug
las. It will cut out the stretch of track
from Santa Rosa to Tucumcari which
Is at present owned by the Rock Isl
and, and which means additional tolls
to be paid by the Phelps-D Dodge com
pany for every ton of coke.
Mr.. Simmons declared that his re-
cent trip to New York had no par
ticular significance.

1.-THE Northeastern system. by the
way, is a thing of the past. Hereafter
the lines of the Northeastern will be

tire system will be known as the e

Ties Treated Differently.

The process used In the timber treat
ing plant of the Alamogordo Lumber
company has recently been somewhat
modified. Formerly the timbers have
been treated with a solution Of chlor-
ide of zinc and later with a solution OF
glue and tannin. The former solution
is used as a preservative and the lat
ter as a protection against moisture,
as it makes the timber impervious to
water. At present the glue and tannin
are omitted. Most of the ties treated
at the present time are for the FL
Paso & Northeastern or associated
lines. and the new management has
ordered the omission Of the glue and
%tannin. evidently on the theory that
timbers used in the arid country do
not need the waterproofing. 1t Is said
that ties treated with the zinc cher
ide alone are proving entirely saristac-
tory both in this territory and Ia Ari-
IONA.
