of the object and aim of the federation

effort was made to secure the names of

Merry Railroad Warfnre.

A merry warfare is being Waged by
Deming and Lordsburg. II is only a
verbal clash, however, and there is
absolutely no danger of an armed con-
flict. 1t has all been occasioned by a
statement made by a Deming newspa-
per TO the effect that the freight di-
vision Headquarters at Lordsburg are
TO be moved TO Deming. The reason
assigned was that the water at Dem
ing Is better for engine purposes.
A Lordsburg newspaper replies
that a change of headquarters would
still mean hat engines would have TO
take water at Lordsburg. 1t states
further hat L%ordsburg Is midway
between Tucson and FL Paso and
make the further claim that Deming
is but ninety miles from Tucson. and
21O miles from FL Paso. which would
make an uneven division.
The little controversy is affording
considerable entertainment for train
men and serves as the main topic Of
conversation In the two towns. IL is
not likely, however, from what can
be earned that there will be any i'm
mediate change Of headquarters to
Deming from L%ordsburg and there is
no certainty that such change will be
made at all.

morning escaped being wrecked OF "a
trestle east OF AlamOgordo. The ten
der of the engine jumped the track
and went bounding along over the
trestle on the ties. says the Tucson
Citizen.
Fortunately the tender kept the
trestle and the train crossed safely
without being derailed. A. the trestle
was only about 60 feet long the train
was crossing Il at a great rate Of
speed. Had h tender gone off the
trestle there is little doubt but that
the mail car and several OF the Pull
mans following would also have been
derailed and the result would probably
have been one OF the worst wrecks
ever known. for the bottom Of the
canyon the trestle spans is solid rock

hat the longer the people on the

There was no panic at the time

decided hat we all carried horse

A DOUBLE DAILY
FREIGHT SERVICE
To ALAMOGORO0
Rapidly Increasing Business at
Thriving New Mexico City
Makes Improvements NeceS-
Sary,

The rapidly increasing importance
of Alamogordo as a freight enter
has brought matters to a point where
the FL Paso and Southwestern railway
has made arrangements to take care
of the tremendous freight business by
making radical changes and great i'm
prOvements in its freight service.
A double daily local freight SER
vice between Alamogordo and FL Paso
will be established. a freight local
leaving FL Paso each morning and do
ing all local work up to A~lamogordo.
including the switching work at OrO-
grande. This train viii reach Alamo
gordo each evening in time for deliv-
cry of freight the same day it left FL
Paso. The crew will lay over all night
in A~lamogOrdo, making the return trip
the following day. This service will
require two full crews, who will be in
~Alamogordo alternate nights.
In addition TO this splendid service
another local freight will be put on
between Alamogordo and Carrizozo,
this train making the round trip each
day, returning TO Alamogordo at
night.
To properly handle this increased
service ii has been decided to establish
local freight offices, over the depot
at ~AlamogOrdo, and w. G. Roe, with
a force of clerks, will be the general
superintendent in charge. The trans
portation department of the Alamo
gordo and Sacramento mountain rail-
way has been consolidated with the
El Paso and Southwestern, Mr.. Roe
having charge of both.
Roadmaster p. Lynch win also have
offices in Alamogordo in connection
with his transfer to that point.
General Freight Agent Brown, of
the FL Paso and Southwestern rail-
way, made the statement to a business
man of Alamogordo, that the railroad
company had decided to make greatly
reduced freight rates to AlamogOrdo,
and 1t was glad to be able to do so
voluntarily, as an appreciation of the
large freight business that Alamogor-
do had worked nm.

a number of roads issued state
ments yesterday of earnings for Au-
gust. That of the Atchison is note
worthy for a decrease i'm net of over
%s53S,000 and but a modest increase of
$727,462 in gross. while operating ex-
penses increased ia e cent more
than the amount Of gain in gross.
The Pennsylvania statement for Au-
gust also made an unfavorable exhibit
in the matter of net, for the Increase
was but 1859, 500. against an Increase
in gross of $2.409. 800. Figures fol-
