and | have been impressed with the
push Of the places as we'll as here. I
feel sure that the business given us
from Santa Fe will be as large as we
could have expected.
Il have found the telephone service
here, given by Mr.. Sparks, to COM
pare favorably with that elsewhere,
and with the new switchboard recent
ly installed and other improvements
made am sure that the service will ev.
en- be better than the good service now
being given.
"The workmen are busily at work
completing the line to Albuquerque
and will reach that town by January
18th. When Albuquerque is reached
Santa Fe will at once have connection
with Los Lunas and Belen. Men are
at work on the line to Socorro so In
a short time you can also reach
points In that section. These lines
should be Of great benefit to Santa
Re as we'll as other places.
"Our efforts are to give the public
the best possible service and we wish
everyone to feel that they are our
friends and that we will help them If
we can. At times people may become
provoked at some little misunderstand-
ing or some accident. Whenever such
cases occur we are glad to know OF
them so that we can investigate the
case in question and adjust same. We
are always willing to do what is right
in the matter"
Mr.. Bellard had friends In the city

Changes Made.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 29.--The new
fast train to San Francisco is new on.
ly from Ogden west over the South
ern Pacific.
The present change involves, how.
ever, material and the shortening of
running time on the Union Pacific's
fast mail from Omaha to Ogden. The
train now leaves Omaha S:55 a. m,
reaching Green River at S:20, but un-
der the new schedule, effective Janu-
ary lst, 1906, 1t will leave Omaha at
1855 p. m, reaching Green River at

so as to make a saving Of almost
five hours between Omaha and Ogden.
The mail has heretofore been carried
by the Southern Pacific on its overland
limited, but it now puts on an exclu-
siye mail train. These changes are
understood to be an incident to fight
between the railroads for the mail car
rying contracts which are shortly to
be made for the next, four years.
