FUNERAL OF cHAs. pRAMER.

AT . o'clock this afternoon the fun

occurred at Hoods Undertaking par

men who knew him and had been con

he had when he lived. Most of them
were miners and prospectors who
have prospected and worked in the
La Plata mountains during the past
more than a quarter century. Prob.
ably there We're none there but his
real friends-there We're others vino
could not be there.
Rev. w. H. Ferguson spoke to the
living on life and death, and Incl
dentally said things which make men
sit to listen. The ceremony was apt
to the time and quite pretty. The
prismatic canopy was removed and
those VINO knew him when he lived

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

What the Southern Pacific railway
will do with its surveyed line between
Durango and its main line is sub
ject of deepest interest to the people
OF the Durango country. That the
road will ultimately build into Du-
range none will doubt. The great
railway and steamship corporation
did not buy $4,000 acres of Durango S
best developed coal territory to retail
coal 10 Durango or lockwood. They
need the coal at their main line; they
are using crude petroleum on nearly
G,OO0 miles of railway. They can lay
their Durango coal at their main line
for less than So per ton, less than
half the lowest price they have been
able for years to get a ton OF coal.
But at the present time the Southern
Pacific company is devoting all Its
energies to the building OF
the road to Guadalajara, Mexico, and
this is why: The Mexican govern
ment besides giving a right of way
has given q bonus of $1,000.000, pro
vided the road is completed to Quad
alajara by a given time. Other lines
projected and under construction by
this company, in the west of the Mex
lean republic have been temporarily
abandoned to devote better energy to
the completion of the Guadalajara
road. but Durango's turn may come
any time, as positive assurance is
given by those in authority to speak
that the Durango branch Is certain
