GOULD REFoRTE1 70 81
INSPECTING THE CENTRAL
Railway Masnate Seen by Estancia
eWspane

Railway Magnate Seer by Estancfa
Newspaper.
Albuquerque Journal, Dec. 8.
According to the Estancia News
of Saturday. George ]. Gould, head
of the great Gould railway syndicate;
owning one of the largest and most
important railway systems in the
United States. was in Torrance coun-
ty n Estancia during the past
week. If Mr.. Gould was in h Terri
tory he was travelling with jas little
ostentatfon as possible and no hint
Of mis- proximity reached his city.
1t is stated that he made a thorough
inspection of the Santa Fe Central
road and the railway situation in
Torrance county and central New
Mexico generally. That a visit to
New Mexico at this time by Mr..
Gould is of the greatest Importance
goes without saying, n that it is
fraught with momentous conse-
quences to Albuquerque is equally
clear. Whether it means the purchase
of h Santa Fe Central or the imme-
date building of the rumored north
and south Gould line through New
Mexico is a matter of speculation.
The News speculates as follows:
George J.. Gould, head of the great
Gould system of railroads, was a dis
tinguished Torrance country visitors
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. In company with a corps of
assistants ne visited Willard Tues
day night and Wednesday. Mr.. Gould
arrived in a special train over the Be
len cutoff from the west, arriving at
Willard at 9 O'Clock Tuesday even
ing. He spent the night at the ho-
tel, n Wednesday morning met a
number of prominent people of the
town and looked over the railroad sit
uation there. There have been ru-
o for some weeks past of contem
plated Gould improvements in Tor
rance county. The most important
rumor is one which relates to a pro-
posed line from Ell Paso, connecting
with the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe Central at Willard. The
object of this proposed line would
be to get a connecting line from the
south into the Hagan coal fields. All
the southwestern papers recently con
tanned a dispatch relating to a pro-
posed line from the south connecting
with the Santa Fe Central at Tor
or Willard, and Mr.. Gould's Wis
it to Willard would seem to mean
that the Goulds are seriously consid-
ering that place as a connecting
point. This theory is otherwise plau
sible from the fact that the survey
by way of Willard would give a more
direct line and afford an easier grade
The survey runs southwest from Wi
lard. Affording an easy incline to the
mesas which form the southern boun
Diary of the Estancia Valley. From
the top of the mesa there is a gradu-
al incline for hundreds of miles acr-
oss a level country.
Mr.. Gould spoke f1attering1y of
Wizards prospects with relation to
water, soil n railroad facilities. He
aware that Willard is the only
place on he Belen cutoff where good
water is o~btainabIe, and expressed
the belief that the water and its ade-l
quate railroad facilities made it a, de-,
sirable spot for a future great city
in the commonwealth of New Mexi-
CO, which is developing now faster
than any other portion of the great /
southwest.

If William Alden Smith Is elected, he
will have Gen. Ayers seat In the United
States Senate, place which has long been
held by noted men. Zach Chandler kept it
in the limelight Of publicity for. many
years. Thomas NJ Palmer did likewise. and
both Mcmillan and Alger were senators of
national influence.

means well and that he Is anxious to rest.
He is now over seventy and his work has
been continuous for almost sixty years.
From Log Cabin to the Senate.
Indeed. I doubt whether there Is a man in
public life who had as hard boyhood as
that Of the senior senator from Michigan.
Alger's father was singularly unlucky. He
tried half dozen different businesses and
failed in all. He was a pioneer farmer in
Ohio at the time Alger was born. and this

was about eleven years of age his father
died, and prior to that both father and
mother lay sick in the same bed In the log

time Of each other, and at the age OF
twelve the future senator was the main
prop against the cabin door which kept the
wolf of hunger out. He once told me Of his
struggles at that time. He worked for a.
neghbor receiving as wages three teacups
Of flour day, and this, mixed with the
milk from the family cow. formed the food
of himself and sisters. There was little
corn in the house. and one day young Rus
sell sheled a bag Of this and carried
1t on his back to a mill nine miles away
and traded 1t for meal. He walked eight
cen miles for that meal. and says he cannot
remember that he felt especially tired upon
his return.

and after he had worked six years he re-

this time the senator went to school part
of the year and studied in the meanwhile
Later on he taught school and then read

got into the lumber business, in which,
after some financial disasters, he finally

To many people the best thing about sum-

tain extent by the fact that hot weather

bottle is all that the benevolent vender de-
mands for it. We hear good reports also
of ginger ale, which undoubtedly goes down
with great ease and pleasantness Even
now, however. we doubt whether the really
perfect summer drink has been invented.
Sometimes, in a sort of vision. we get
dim idea of the sort of drink to which we
refer, but we have never come across 1t In
real life. 1t is inexpensive. That Is one
OF its great charms. 1t has something OF
the delicate flavor of barley water, COM
bined with the robustness of shandygan.
There is a suggestion OF champagne, sus-
p.cion of claret, q soupcon of creme de

this beverage. At present 1t Is merely, as

Cottage Telephones.
From Country Life.

Mr.. Rider Haggard's suggestion that
small holders should have telephones In
their houses Is delightful IL It could be put
into practice. There would be no room for
dullness in the country any longer. when
the good wife had swept out and tidied her
house she could get her favorite gossip on
the telephone and discuss the topics Of the
day as they occur In the rural districts
During the long winter nights the men
could amuse themselves by playing chess
or draughts over the telephone.
