OFF FOR MARDI GRAS
FESTIVITIES IN CRESCENT CITY

Chicago, Feb, 9-One of the fin
est special trains that was ever oper-
ated out of Chicago left this morning
for New Orleans on the Illinois Cen
trail railway, the occasion being the
Mardi Gras festivities at the Crescent
City. From Memphis the party will
be taken over the Yazoo & Mississip-
pi Valley route to Vicksburg, which
will be reached tomorrow morning.
Here the excursionists will be given
carriage ride through the National
Military park. New Orleans will be
reached at 9 o'clock Sunday evening.
The equipment includes diners, Sleep
ers and library cars and to provide
against probable condition of crowd
ed hotels at New Orleans the passen.
gers will eat and sleep on the train
during their stay. This is the first
time such a plan has been attempted
and is the result of numerous COM
plants made OF overcrowed hotels and
exorbita1t rates during previous Mar

PROPOSED RAILROAD FROM
PECOS VALLEY TO Ell PAS

The proposed railroad from the Pc
cos Valley, if built will be of i1calcu-
liable value to all the towns in the
valley. There is good prospects of
Roswell securing this road. It is pro-
posed to run the line from FL Paso
to Carlsbad, and thence to Roswell.
coming through the Valley towns.
In commenting, editorially on this
proposed road, the Ell Paso Herald
says:
The proposed railroad to Carlsbad
would without question be a great
boon to both Ell Paso and the Pecos
Valley. At the present the difficul-
ties and expense of travel between
this city and Roswell and Carlsbad
are so great that only absolute neces-
sity is held to justify the trip. More
over, as things are now, the Pecos Val
ley people want to trade with our
folks, but it is easier to go several
times further to Kansas City or Dal-
las, hence the reciprocal advantages.
that should be ours to enjoy and pro-
fit by, are withheld.
The Pecos Valley is absolutely de-
pendent on the Santa Fe railway ser
vice. That service is said to be about
six times as bad as the service of the
The Pecos Valley lines have not even
the Mexican trade and the western
connections consider, such as demand
from the Ell Paso branch of the San
ia F'e some decent consideration for
train schedules and general service.
Hence the Pecos valley trains mosey
along most any time of the day or
night that happens to hit their fancy,
making connections nowhere of any
benefit to us or to the valley people.
Rates on freight, Also are not subject
to any comparison and the Pecos Val
ley under the Circumstances has about
as little train service of any sort as
will keSp the one railroad in control
of the situation.
With an air line to FL Paso, the Pc
cos Valley would at once procure the
benefits of competition over all of our
eastern trunk lines, for it would be to
the manifest advantage of the owners
OF the new road to encourage traffic
out of Ell Paso every way they could
owing to the comparatively unproluc-
tive country through which the road
must pass. The Pacos Valley would
be closely in touch with this city, com
mercially and socially, and it would
no longer be isolated by lack of ade-
quate transportation facilities.
1t is to be hoped that the new rail-
road can be financed and built under
| local auspices, which would at least
give direction to its policy and infiu-
ence the management, though of
course it Is absurd to expect Ell Paso
| to put up more than tenth of the ac-
tual cost of construction. If FL PasO
starts it going, great deal will have
been accomplished, and if we can
show the moleyed men of the north
| and east that the project promises
adequate returns ON the investment.
the money can be had to comHete
the line.

THE RACE QUESTION
UNDER DISCUSSION.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 9-The
Brownsville inquiry by the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs may
continue at intervals for several
months. Many of the men for whom
subpoe1as have been issued have not
been found. Others are in Texas at
tending the court martial of white
officers of the discharged negro bat
TALON. The investigation has reached
far enough to convince the members
of the committee that the only way
to get at the bottom of the affair is
by the slow process of examining ev-
cry man to see what he knows. Thus
far only a few men of Companies B.
and d. have been put on the stand,
and no evidence has been secured
indicating that these men are guilty
of the offenses charged against them.
1t is likely that after adjournment of
congress subcommittee will be
named to take testimony.
Conference on Japanese Question.

RockEFELLERS DONATION
SEEMS TO BE AN ELEPHANT

Chicago, III, Feb. 9.-President W.
A. Harris, of Northwestern Universe
ty, last night in commenting on the
donation of John D. Rockefeller to
the General Education Board for the
purpose of promoting the rcanse OF
education throughout the country
found one serious objectSt the sys-
tenn of the board in handling the
money. He said: The colleges that
need money the most cannot afford
to have it because of the conditions
which must be complied with. For
instance, Beloit was offered 100000
as a one-third endowment. o1 condi'
ton that the college would raise the
other two-thirds, S4O0,0 900. Beloit
could raise only $4,000 of the amount
and a college that could raise two
thirds of such an endowment is not
the college that needs money worst. y

Mayor Stockard argued that one COM
