COMPLETE PLANT OF
BEBBER OPTICAL COMPANY
HAS THE ONLY LENS GRINDING
PLANT IN NEW MEXICO is
STRICTLY UP TO DATE IN
EVERY RESPECT.

Among the progressive and up to
date industries Of Albuquerque, the
Bebber Optical company holds rank
among the first. DR.. Ott9 G. Bebber,
the proprietor OF this concern, came
to Albuquerque several ars ago and
established himself IN the optical bust
ness. He has ken ace with the
times, and had aided TO his stock
from time 10 time until his recent ad-
dition, that Of installing a complete
lens grinding liant, has placed his
business above any in the teri itory.
DR.. Bebber Is a graduate optician, a
member of the New Mexico board of
examiners in optometry, and is con-
sidered one of the leading opticians in
the west today. He is prepared to fit
glasses for all defects of vision, and
carries a complete line Of fine goods.
In addition to the optical department,
the doctor has added a department

TELEGRAPH SERVICE
IS INTERRUPTED
CONTRACTORS BLASTING SOUTH
OF RATION TUNNEL SMASHING
POLES AND WIRES AID LIBITUM.

Considerable interruption of tele-
graph service on the Western Union
lines between Ration and this city and
other parts OF New Mexico has been
the "ule of late, on account of the
~carelessness and lack of consideration
for the rights Of others by the con
tractors who are blasting a roadbed
for the double track of the Santa Fe
railway at the south end of the Ra-
ton tunnel at Lynn station. The con-
tractor who seems to care as much
for others rights as a salamander
cares for 4 fly, does blastlng work in
sucn a manue" as TO GLOW down poles
ami break wires f eqIieht'y and so as
to generally interrupt telegraph SER
vice for hours. This is the cause for
the l~ateness and at times paucity of
the telegraph report received lately
by this paper. The Citizen does not
know who is to blame and therefore
calls upon the division superintendent
of the Western Union at Denver TO
have this matter Strengthened out and
that promptly. Under New Mexico
statutes any persons interfering with
or o~bstructing telegraph lines or wires
are liable to criminal prosecution and
punishment. The evening papers tax
ing Associated Press dispatches on
this circuit pay heavy tolls and do not
appreciate the contractors dong the
least bit. Mr.. Gargan, the Western
Union division superintendent at Den
yer is a careful and efficient official
and hence The Citizen calls his atten'
ton to this very unsatisfactory state
of affairs.

There is much rejoicing in the Pc
cos valley over the announcement
that the government has offered to

goo for the plant, and this was exclu-
siye of all land holdings of the cor
poration. The governments offer is
at the rate of S4OO,O 900 for the entire
holdings.
The bOndhOlders are scattered all
over the world and the heaviest own
ers live at Geneva, Switzerland.
They were cabled the news of the
offer. For some time the bond hold
ers have been willing 10 sell their en-
tire holdings around Carlsbad, land
and all, for S350,OOO, although they
have spent over $75O,O00.
Frank G. Tracy, president of the
company, left for Washington TO per
suade the eastern bond holders to ac-
cept the offer.

THE RATE CONTROL
SEVENTY PER CENT ON SANTA
FEE SYSTEM OPPOSED TO FUR
Their POWER, NEW MEXICO IN
THE LIST.

A Chicago dispatch, under date of
September 3, says:
Vice President +. d. Kenna, of the
Santa Fe, road, is making a anvas
of seven states and five territories
with a view of as%certaining the senti-
ment Of the shippers and principal
business men toward the proposed
legislation giving the interstate COM
merce commission added power over
rates. Although the canvass has not
been completed, some surprising re-
suits have been attained. Thus far
the average number Of answer have
shown that fully 20 per cent of the in
]teryiewed shippers located in the
states and territories served by the
Santa Fe are not in favor of granting
the commission further power over
freight rates. The question put to the
shippers in every case is: do you
favor giving the interstate commerce
commission the absolute power TO fix
all interstate rates, and to establish
the relation of rates between all local
ities?"
The circulars were sent to the San
ia Fe agents in every town and city
with instructions 10 make a thorough
canvass.
The results of the canvass thus far
are shown in the following list, Ari-
IONA, 50 per cent for and A. against;
California, 80 for and 81 against; Col
orado, p for and 73 against; Illinois,

The fair association officers held a
meeting this morning, at which was
decided the important considerations
in connection with the base ball tour
nament, says the Las Vegas Optic. 1t
was decided to make the total purse
$3.50, divided as follows, if as many as
three teams enter:
First prize $500, second prize $3.50,
third prize 800.
All teams must enter the list of
players before Sept. IS. The players
must be certified to as having been
playing with the team before that date
and no player may be signed or played
who had not become a member of the
team before September IS.
It is regarded as certain that teams
from Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las
Vegas will! be here and it Is possible
that the six teams entered at the AL
buquerque fair viii desire to contest
for the Las Vegas prize. 1t is expected
that the tour ament will open the
first day Of fair week.

A dozen of the Mcintosh Browns
ambled out to Traction park yesterday
for a little practice, but the field was
too wet for playing as the result of

Browns themselves are convinced that
they need practice.

A GREAT NORTH

The Monon road, of which Judge
E. c. Fields is the general councillor,
is one of the best ROADS running out
of Chicago to the south. Ii Is almost
a north and south road, and skirts
through the state of Indiana to the
Kentucky line at Louisville at an av-
erage speed of forty miles an hour.
On a branch of this loa1, from Or
leans, is located the famous NesG
Baden and French Lick Springs re-
sorts, and these two resorts are Wis
tied by many thousands of people
each year. Judge Fields is known &c
many Albuquerque citizens, and they

The Optic says: 1t is seldom that
two brothers go out on the road in
charge of an engine. Yet such was
the case Monday morning when En-
gineer Will Trainer and Fireman Cliff
Trainer, of Las Vegas, brothers, went
out together OF an engine pulling an
extra freight train on the south end.
However, they have now been sep
arated, Fireman Cliff Trainer having
been assigned to the $40, with En-

ENGINEERS NERVE SAVES
"OWL" FROM DISASTER

A Los Angeles dispatch says:
Passengers who arrived in this city
on the Southern Pacific owl" train
from San Francisco tell of their mar
row escape from a serious wreck at
Eureka station. Engineer Cole, who
vas in the cab, was the hero.
While running at forty miles an
hour, the train struck an open switch
and entered a siding on which was a
long string of box ears. AS 500 as
the engine struck the switch, Cole
applied the air and reversed his en-
CINE, checking the speed of the train
so that il only bumped the cars, with
out doing any damage.
There was much excitement among
the passengers when they "a how
narrowly a catastrophe had been
averJed. A collection of fifty dollars
was taken up and presented to the
engineer.
