BECKER'S BOOMING BELEN.
Agent Berger Of the TownsIte Prophe-
sizes Grand Future for the Railroad
Town on the Cutoff.

William M. Berger, for twenty-five
years a resident of this city, but now
located at Belen, which he claims is
to be the great railroad metropolis OF
New Mexico, was here during the fore
part of the week on business. Mr..
Berger is the secretary and manager
of the Belen Townsite Company of
which John Becker is the president.
There are 1000 lots laid out in the
townsite," so Mr.. Berger said, with
$50 foot streets and avenues. The
Santa Fe cutoff will go through the
new city and this route will be the
main line of the great Santa Fe sys-
tenn leading east and west, north and
south from all points in the Union.
All fast passenger and freight trains
will go direct through Belen, avoiding
| the Glorieta and Ration passes. The
railway company is now grading its
extensive yards, 800 feet by mile
and half long, with capacity Of 70
miles of trackage for the making up
of the vast amount of passenger and
freight trains, the opening of the
lnew line will demand for the accom-
modations of the new passenger and
freight depots, Harvey eating house, a
40 stall round house, coal chutes,
water stations, and express, telegraph
land section houses. These enterprises
lare now being carried forward and 1t
is expected that the new cutoff direct
from Chicago, Galveston and Kansas
City to California, Ell Paso and Mexl
co points, will be running in full blast
by May 1, 1906"
Mr.. Berger having had large expe
rience in giving many OF the cities
of New Mexico an impetus after the
Santa Fe Railway came to the Terri
+. tory in 1880, such as Santa Fe This
first love) Las Vegas, Silver City, Dem
; ing and other smaller towns, knows
! how to do things of this kind ant
! the new city Of Belen may be quite
' fortunate in having Mr.. Berger's ex
. perience in making that city what NJ
! says he will--the Metropolis OF Nev
Mexico.

FAILED THIS time.
Stubbs and DOlley Again After
Henry Allen.
Determined to Keep Him Out Of
Congress.

W. R. Stubs and ]. N. Dolley,
partners in the business of boss bust
ing, put in the best part of three days
at Kansas City recently, it is said, try
ing to persuade S. S. C7lasscscz. the
brainy and eloquent representative
from Wyandotte county, who led the
fight for the state oil refinery on the
floor of the house, to get into the race
for congress in the Second district.
Stubs object was to beat Henry
Allen. He is said to have told Glass
cock that in his opinion Allen would
win over Congressman Scott, and that
unless some strong man could step in
and control the Wyandotte delegation
the day would be lost. Glasscock OBJ
jected- He is reported to have said to
Stubs:
L thought you were for Scott
And so am" is what Stubs is
credited with replying, but Scott can't
man."
Glasscock wanted time to think it
over. So Stubs and DOlley labored
with him at intervals for three days,
and finally G1asscOck decided that he
didn't want any congressional bees
buzzing around his chapeau.
Now Stubs and DoIey are looking
for another man. They are expecting
to do their utmost to drive Henry Al
len off the political map. Stubs sue
which legislated Allen out of the state
board of charities job, and he seems
to be still pursuing his victim.
Aside from Allen and Scott, there are
three other candidates-or men who
might be candidates under certain cir
cumstances J. H. Crider and w T.
Martin, both of Fort Scott, have been
mentioned as possibilities, and J. L.
I Brady of Lawrence would also like to
get in the game. It is probable, how
ever that none of these booms will
materialize, and that Scott and Allen
/ Will fight it out between them
Henry Allen was in Topeka today
with the state board of charities. He
expressed himself as well satisfied with
! his chances.
I'm not doing any boasting about
what I will carry and how strong am 80
/ he said, because it won't do any good
/ to boast. I believe that this viii be
| clean fight between myself and Mr.
Scott. I am not trying to get any out
siders into the race. expect to make
a fight in every county. I think there
/ will be no trouble, and no 'rump con-
! ventions' this year. Charles Scott is not
/ che kind of a man to put up that sort
of a fight, and I am sure I don't intend
to do So"
Mr. Scott has not been to Topeka to
| tell about the progress of his campaign
He is doing a lot of work, however, and
| if he finally manages to secure the
backing of Stubs and his crowd, will
stand good show to win

No Half Way Measure on Railway
Rate Regulation.

Repeats Assertion That He Will

He Says There Are No Strings

Omaha, May 1O.-The Bee says
President Roosevelt made the en-
phatic statement that he viii not be a

office of president of the United States.

Il made my speech at Denver for
the purpose of convincing the people
Of my earnestness in regard to the
matter of railroad legislation. I viii
not be satisfied with any compromise
that does not bring relief to the peo-
pie from the condition that now
exists in regard to the transportation
affairs in the country. No compro-
mise bill from congress will be ac-
copied"
This is President Roosevelts reply
TO a representative of the Bee on his
special train as it journeyed across
Nebraska. A published statement to
the effect that the president would be
forced to accept a denomination by
the people who would be aroused to
that pitch by the failure of congress to
enact remedial legislation was shown
him. He expressed himself most en-
phatically that he was not to be
sWayed from his determination by
any advances that might be made
him, no matter in what disguise they
came.
