TRACK MUST BE REMOVED.
Railroad Officials Promise to Do Away
 With Morley Avenue Spur.

That Morley Avenue track received a body-blow Tuesday and the belief now is that nothing short of another San Francisco earthquake and fire can delay it's removal. When the special train bearing the party of Southern Pacific officials on their tour of in spection pulled into Nogales Tuesday afternoon the officials were met at the depot by members of the Board of Trade and were escorted to the main street of the city, where their at tention was called to the offending spur.
 At the meeting of the Board of Trade directors Tuesday night the railroad committee reported that the officials had consented to accede to the request of the residents of the town and remove the track. They explain ed that in accordance with past re- quests the head office at San Francisco had compiled data on the matter with aview to removing the track, but that in the San Francisco disaster the data was destroyed, but that now, having viewed the track and under standing the conditions they will make arrangements for its removal The committee also reported that General Manager Calvin of the western di- vision of the Southern Pacific, who was one of the visitors, suggested that a team road be constructed along the grade between the electric light plant and the yard (from the court house crossing south, beside the track) so that freight may be unloaded from cars ou the track ir the yards onto wagons

 Superintendent.

InurSuay was great Qav' Tn NO- gales, especially for those who assisted in celebrating Washington's birthday, and the recent appointment of A. R.. Oster, to the position of superinten- dent of the Sonora Railway. There had been considerable talk of giving Mir. Oster 8 public reception, in order to properly welcome him to Nogales, but it was finally decided to skill two birds with one stone," and celebrate Washington's Birthday and Mir. Qsters advent, at one and the same time; as result the 22nd of February, just passed, will long remain O red let ter day in Nogales' history.
 Superintendent Oster, who will make his headquarters at Guaymas, arrived from the south Thursday night on special train, having come to the line city on official business, and it he knew nothing of the celebration that was being arranged in his honor, and in honor of the birth of tho "Father of His Country"
 The celebration commenced early in the forenoon, and withstand = ing the rain and muddy streets, the parade by the NogaIes Fire Depart ment, headed by the Nogales Concert Band, and marshaled by City Marshal J. B. Moore, and City CouncIlmen Doherty and Cumming, was the best and many were the words of praise expressed by strangers visiting the city.
 The hose cart race Tn the afternoon betwe Papago Engine Go. and Pa pago Hose Co.,, was most exciting, and the time made by both teams is hard to beat in any country, the former having done the trick : in 37 and the latter in 37-a seconds. Judges, w. w. Carney and Wm. Schuckmann. Time Keeper, William s. Maddicg. Starter. Harry A. Smith.
 Members of Papago Engine Go. No. 1-H D. Tomlin, captain and hydrant man; R B. Roach, hydrant man; A. $. Noon and Chas. E. Murray, hydrant hose men; Chas. Moody and D. R. Kelsey, nozzle men; J. B. Bristol. pace marker; F. A. McInnis, J. J. Raphael, Jr and H. D. Tomlin, Jr., runners.
 Members of Papago Hose Go. No. 1.-R H. Renshaw, captain and hydrant man; CD. Bemfer, hydrant man; E. l. Bonnot and Ed. Sharpe, nozzle men; w. 0. R Hoover, pace maker; J. F. Brady, Sam McClintock, 0. M. Thompson, H. M. Clagett and w. w. Kelsey, runners
 Great interest Is being taken Tn the Nogales Fire Department. there being a full membership in both the engine and hose company. A. double cylinder chemical engine Is now on the road and when that gets here, as the fire lads say, fire won't have ghost of a show in Nogales.
 During the afternoon many foot races were pulled off between local would be sprinters. some of whom developed wonderful speed, Mir. Hoover, late of Huachuca, doing lOS yards in less than Twelve seconds, which is 'sgoing sone." The race be tween Billy Madding and Doc Shumway, was greatly enjoyed, and those between members of the "Kid Hose Teams," were worth the price.
 Certainly the celebration yesterday was a great success.

of the Mail Lines only-Two Are
from Atlantic Coast Points and
Three from the Paciflc-saved by
Lack Of Quorum.
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. l5.-Af.
ter n fight which lasted all day ana
extended to- the floor of the House.
threatening TO bring about much fill
buating at one time, the House Com
mittce on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries finally decided at 6 o'clock this
evening by vote of S to to make
n favorable report on ship subsidy
bill prepared by Representative Lit
tauer of New York as substitute for
the Grosvenor bill. which has been
under consideration for many weeks.
Two Republicans voted with the Dem.
ocrntic members of the committee in
opposition.
Seven subsidy mail lines are pro.
vidcd for in the bill to be reported
with an annual subvention estimated
at S375O,000. Two of the lines are
to be from the Atlantic coast tn South
America and one from the Gulf of
Mexico 10 Colon. From the Pacific
coast there are to be three lines 10
tho Orient and one line to the West
coast of South America
At the morning session the shin
subsidy bill which carries n tonnage
subsidy and is said to he extremely
distasteful to Speaker Cannon. was
laid before the committee by Mr.. Lit
tauer, and several Democrats voted
for 1t.
Republicans changed their votes in
order to defeat 1t and get compro-
mise bill under consideration, which,
1t was thought would have better
chance with the Republican House
leaders. The committee adjourned to
meet again Mt 4 o'clock when an at.
tempt was made to have the House
adjourn at that time Democrats be.
gan filibuster in an attempt to keep
the House In session, thus preventing
the Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee from meeting and reaching
an agreement.
The minority leader, Mr.. Williams,
demanded tellers and ayes and hayes
for an adjournment vote. The count
showed that n quorum was not pres
ent and the house adjourned by vote
