BAD WASHOUTS ON
TEXAS AND PACIFIC
Connecting Line From Pecos, Texas,
Put Out Of Business as Result
of Recent Heavy Rains.

Pecos, Tex, Nov 14.-Pecos, the
terminal point of the Pecos Valley and
Northeastern railroad, is crowded with
disappointed travellers who are wait
ing for the opening Of traffic on that
railroad towards Roswell and Carls-
bad The recent heavy floods have
washed out at least twenty miles of
track and a number of small bridges.
Parties going to Pecos Valley points
from the eastern part Of the territory
will take notice that they will be un-
able to get around by the Texas and
Pacific route for absolutely no con.
nection can be made with the Pecos
Valley road.
The different connecting lines OF
railroads are selling tickets through
to Carlsbad and Roswell.but when the
traveller reaches Pecos he finds that
he can get no further.
An enterprising automobile firm is
fixing up an improyised auto to travel
over the trail to the scene Of the wash
out, where the work train will then
be able to take them on to Carlsbad
each night. 1t is believed that in this
way some of the travel can be cared
for In the future. 1t is not believed
that the railroad will be in operation
for three weeks.

lie an official communication address
ed to Ignacio Mariscal, Minister of

says:
"The government Of Nicarauga has
given me instructions to lay before you
a firm resolve with which it is propos-
ed to have Central America by volun-
tary and pacific acts Of it's govern
ments, converted into one nation.
President Jose Santes Zelaya, who has
ever been an unwavering partisan of
this patriotic idea and one of the most
persistent fighters for its realization,
is disposed as he has ever been to
resign with pleasure the office which
he now occupies in Nicarauga, in fav.
or Of whatever citizen may be elect
ed by the people as president of the

representatives power to act thereon.
