Western Pacific

The Western Pacific has just begun
tracklaying on it's 924 mile line from
Salt Lake City to San Francisco. The
present work is west from Salt Lake
City and an official report from the
chief engineer states that trackiaying
will begin in California in August The
work of grading on this line is being
pushed with much vigor in Utah, Ne
vada and California.
Grading is in progress in North Da-
kota, Montana and Washington on the
Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul extern
sion from Evarts, S. D., to Tacoma and
Seattle, but there is much heavy work
on this line and it is not anticipated
that much track will be laid during the
current year.
The 152 miles completed in Wyoming
have been built by the Burlington and
the Chicago & Northwestern, and the
latter has forty-six miles to lay to COM
plete it's extension from Casper to Lam
der, which will be finished to the latter
point in August.
In Montana some 700 miles of line are
under construction, but no track has
yet been laid. The only other western
state in which no new track has been
put down this year is Iowa.
The 227 miles of new line in Nevada
have been built by three companies,
namely, the Las Vegas e. Tonopah, the
Nevada Northern and the Virginia &
Truckee, and there is still larger
mileage under construction.

Trolley Struck Rig After Team Had
Passed, Pushing It Fifty Feet
at Twenty-seventh
Street

While running at a speed of thirty
miles an hour, according to witnesses,
an observation car on the Los An
geles railway yesterday afternoon
struck milk wagon driven by Ed L.
Doolen at Twenty-seventh and Main
streets, rolling him for fifty feet and
inflicting serious injuries.
e. H. Todd, SO4 East Adams street,
was within a short distance of the ac-
cident when it occurred.
He said yesterday that Doolen was
driving a team for the Holly Milk and
Butter company and was going east
on Twenty seventh street at a lively
pace when he was struck by the car
going south.
The team had crossed the track and
the car struck the wagon about the
middle
The force of the collision broke the
team loose. The wagon was pushed
ahead of the car for fifty feet before
a stop was made.
Doolen was rolled over and over
and was under the wagon when picked
up. He was put on a car and taken
down town and thence to the receiv-
ing hospital.
Police Surgeon Bonynge examined
the man and found that he had a con-
cussion of the head and two decorations.
DR.. Bonynge said last night that the
mans wounds will not prove fatal.
The observation car was equipped
with q new patent fender, but could
not pick up the man because he was
inside the wheels of the wagon.

the angel of death came into the home
the fifth time in little more than a

The little twin girls were taken to
the bedside of the baby shortly be-
fore death came and a heartrending
scene was enacted as the little ones
lisped their childish prayers, awaiting
deaths call, as the baby girl slowly
passed away after a long and serious
illness.
The triplets, which were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson November of last
year, attracted wide attention, being
the second set of triplets besides the
5-year-old twins.

THINK NEGRO is sTABBER
Laurence Parker Accused of Using
Razor en- E. Ramsey Through
jealousy Over Woman

Laurence Parker, negro, was ar
rested by Patrolmen Glenn and Stevens
yesterday afternoon on South Main
street for an alleged stabbing of E.
Ramsey, a negro, on the evening of the
4th of July.
When Ramsey went to the central
station on the evening of the Fourth he
said his name was Roy Vignes and
claimed to have been struck by negro
who was jealous of the intimacy be-
tween a negress and himself.
Parker admitted yesterday to the Off
GERS that he had fought with Ramsey
on the 4th of July, but said the affair
had been amicably settled between
them.
Parker was booked on suspicion and
will probably be allowed to go his way
unless Ramsey makes a charge against
him.

YEARS NEW ROADS
EXCEED 5000 MILES
RECORDS OF 19o2-o3 LIKELY
TO BE PASSED
Railroad Construction Was Never at
Higher Ebb Than Now
News From Many
Points

During the first half of the present
year a total of 2g0S miles Of railroad
were constructed, which indicates that
the record for the year will exceed the
figures of 1902 or 1903.
This means that the total railway
construction for the year will approxi-
mate 5000 miles, as the record for 1908
was 57S6 miles, and for 1902 1884 miles.
With the exception of 1902, the record
for the half year exceeds any made dur
ing the past fifteen years.
The first half of the year 1902 saw
2314 miles of track completed.
There are fully $4,000 miles Of railway
under construction in the United
States.
1t is now stated that additional con-
tracts have been let which will add
many hundred miles to the total num-
her of miles being built at the present
time.
The number of railways in the hands
Of receivers continues to decrease and
the number has been more than offset
by the lines which have been taken out
of receiverships by foreclosure or by
friendly reorganization without sale.
The systems enumerated below,
which have many new lines under con-
structlon, have laid track since .Janu-
ary 1 as follows: Chicago & North
western, 127 miles; Hartman system,
including the Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific, Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company, Oregon Short Line, 120 miles;
Santa Fe system, 81 miles; Chicago,
burlington & Quincy, 80 miles, Great

OPENS GUANAcEvI DISTRICT
Mexioan's International Broad Line
a Feeder
Special to The Herald.

SpeCldl 10 Inc Herald.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, July s.
Another important railroad extension
in this country decided upon IS the
Mexican InternationaPs branch line,
which now runs from Durango to Tepe-
huanes. skirting the rugged Sierra
Madres, in the western portion of the
states of Durango and Chihuahua.
The extension is to be built from
Tepehuanes to La Mesa de Sandia,
where it will connect with the Parral
& Durango railroad.
The extension will be about 100 miles
long and will be the means of opening
up to the outside world the rich GUIANA
ceVi mining district.
The Mexican Internationa is a part
of the government merger system of
railways. Preparations are also being
made for the immediate construction of
the extension of the main line of the
Mexican International to Mazatlan, on
the Pacific coast.
The Mexican government, which
owns SO per cent of the stock of the
several railroads embraced in the mer-
ger system, is planning to expend many
millions of dollars on the construction
of other extensions in addition to those
above named.
The most important is the building
of the Hidalgo e. Northeastern to sew
eral gulf coast points.
1t was originally planned, when the
government interest purchased the
Hidalgo & Northeastern few months
ago, to extend that line only to the
port of TuXpam.
1t is now stated that it will be built
to TuXpam and thence north along the
coast to Tampico and Matamoras, the
latter place being situated just oppo-
site Brownsville. Tex. From Tuxpam
the gulf coast line will be extended
south to Vera Cruz. where 1t will con-
meet with the Interoceanic and the Vera
Cruz e. Pacific, both of which belong
to the merger system.
The building of this road skirting the
coast, all the way from Matamoras to
Vera Cruz, will afford a new and direct
line between the United States points
and the lsthmus OF Tehuantepec, as the
Vera Cruz & Pacific connects with the
National Tehuantepec railroad at San
Geronimo.
