would ever have started. or if started,
would ever have produced such disas-

Is there any one who believes that
there would have been such destruc-

The operating department of the
Southern Pacific and the general agent
of the Armour car lines for the State
do not agree as to the number of fruit
cars delivered. McClymonds said last
Tuesday that the Armour people were
delivering to the Southern Pacific at
the Ogden gateway something like 100
cars a day and from forty to fifty at
the Ell Paso gateway The officials of
the Southern Pacific say they have re-

during the last seven days at Ogden,
and the record for the past seven days
at FL Paso is 33, 2S, Al, 20. 35, 80 and 16.

is always in good taste for gentle
man to give a lady the inside of the
walk for her protection. especially if
the sidewalk be narrow. but in the day

he may give the left If more con-

DEBATES-R. J. C. This department
does not furnish debaters with ideas as
