The basketball season just closed
was highly successful for the Dallas
College team, not only from the fact
that the boys won the state champion
ship, but from a financial viewpoint
as we'll. Under the able management
Of Walter Critchlow, assisted by
President Mock and Professor
Met2ger, the team paid all expenses
and had nearly $500 left in
the treasury. This showing is in
strong contrast to the results Of for
mer years, when the team came out
penniless, even after being denied
needed uniforms, shoes, sweaters and
other players clothing. The new pol
icy of placing all the surplus earn
ings of the team in the athletic fund
is appreciated by the members of the
team and the friends of the school,

A Valuable Relic.

Mr.. w. +. Cobb has in his
possession a copy Of the Ulster
County Gazette, published at
Kingston, Ulster county, New
York, bearing the date Of jan
uary A, 1900, and is, therefore,
over 1O7 years old. The paper
gives a graphic account OF the
death of Gen. George Washing
ton, which occurred on Decem-
ber "a, 1899. 1t gives Us an
insight into the early history of
the United States that is most
interesting to reflect on.
Mr.. Cobb's wife's people were
subscribers of the Gazette and
received the copy Mr.. Cobb has
as one Of the papers regular
readers. Mrs. Cobb received
the paper from her grandmother
who had it in her possession fol
so years, and who received il
from some other member OF
her family.

A man wearing a COW punch
er's attire came into the recruit
ing office here a few days ago
and expressed himself as desir-
ing to enlist in the war. He
gave his name as Grover Johns
and said he hailed from Yellow
House ranch in Texas. lie
stated: II want 20 enlist on
the southern side; I'm from
Texas, the Lone Star, by grab;
they always have been the most
heroic fighters in the world; my
dad was good one and | want
to fight on the same side" Mr..
McConn, the gentleman in charge
of the station, tried hard to ex-
plain that we all were Union
men now. You'll never catch
me with a blue uniform on, but
if you can take me on the
southern side I'll try it awhile to
see how ! like it" Mr.. Nc
Conn ventured to say: "I'm
sorry Mr.. Johns but l can do
nothing for you." No." said
he, you yankees can wear that
blue uniform all the time but I'll
never do it."

FULLER
DETAILS
OF the New Railroad to
Demiag.

Prescott, Ariz., May Sit is
reported that the Phoenix &
Eastern railroad, which was re-
Gently acquired from the Santa
F'e by the Southern Pacific inter-
ests, will be extended to Globe,
Ariz., from which point the Gila
Valley, Globe and Northern
tracks will be used to form a
through line to the present main
line of the Southern Pacific at
Bowie. 1t is stated that the Can
anea, Yaqui River and Pacific,
which is now being built south
through Mexico from Cananea,
will be extended from Naco to
Bowie, connecting at the latter
place with the transcontinental
route of the Southern Pacific, as
well as with the Gila Valley,
Globe and Northern. The an
nouncement is made by Col.
Epes Randolph, president Of the
Phoenix G. Eastern, that that
road will be extended to Dem
ing, N. NJ, by way Of San Car
los and Solornonville. Another
connection with the transconti-
mental line of the Southern Pa
ciic will be made at Deming.
The Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe seem to have formed a
close alliance so far as their
Arizona roads are concerned.
Col. Randolph is authority for
the statement that the Santa Fe
will lose no time in completing
the Arizona and California rail-
road, which is to run from Win
kenberg, Ariz., to Bengal, Cal.
The route of this line is within
a short distance Of the Colorado
river. 1t connects with the Ar
zona & Eastern at Winkenberg.
When this line and the Arizona
& Eastern are finished they will
form a new low grade line across
the backbone of the continent,
connecting with the Southern
Pacific's present transcontinental
line at Deming and with the
Santa Fe's present transconti.
mental line at Bengal.
