To Begin at Once. Chief En-
sineer Of Rock Island System
Gives Out Statement.
ROAD Will BE HIRE
IN EIGHT MONTHS

In an interview with the Texas
Panhandle, daily paper at Amar-
lilo, on Wednesday, August I4th,
J. b. Berry, chief engineer of the
Rock Island system; said in inter.
view with reporter Of the Daily
Panhandle
Yes, you can put it down for
sure that the Rock Island is to go
ahead at once with construction
from here west" said J. b. Berry,
chief engineer OF the Rock Island
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Mahcr
and myself are here for the pur-
pose OF getting general survey of
the situation. We will ask for
bids at once on the work to be
done and as soon as possible men
will be here to take up actual con-
struction. We intend that moth
ing shall seriously delay the work
now, unless It should be shortage
Of material. We have made pref
ty complete provision for that,
however, so we do not anticipate
any delay from that source.
" Under the conditions of our
contract and the statute governing
our right-of-way, we have until
May, 1908, to complete building
the track. That time is ample and
we do not intend to break that con-
dition OF the contract and taking
all things into consideration we
intend having the work now pro.
posed done before that time"
To-day the party" said the
Daily Panhandle, went with ]. II.
Wills in his touring car for a field
survey OF the grade as far west as
the party can conveniently cover.
Mr.. Berry will make fairly COM
plete examination of all the pro-
posed work and will be able by
reference to the original survey to
direct the letting of the contract
for repairs and completion of the
track"
This is all good news to Tucum.
carl, as we have looked forward
always to the building of this line
to give US straight, almost al
air line from here east to Memphis
, Tenn, and to all points east ane
south.
The enterprise, this paper esti
mates, will just about double tn,
population OF our city in ST,
months.

Caran d'Ache, the famous French cari- caturist, has taken up the occupation of making comical wooden toys, because his doctor has forbidden him to do any more pen and ink work. Some of these quaint and humorous animals were exhibited Il. the Humorsts' Salon during the summer and caused great amusement.
 The toys which consist of the most grothesque looking dogs, elephants and other animals, were, of course originally intended for children, but they have been taken up by, and have become the rage of. Parisian society. Fashionable ladies are to be seen wherever there are any gay doings afoot with one of thse dogs or ludicrous hippopotami on her arm, or elephant sitting beside her on her automobile.
 The prices of the animals vary from half dollar to dollar and half and some ten thousand dollars worth of them were sold at the Salen des Hu- morists New toys are now being made by caran d d'Ache of a more ambitious kind. including boxes of "The Mon archs Shooting"
 One of these boxes will show King Edward VII shooting wooden grouse and ph easants; another will show Pres ident Fallieres taking pot shots among the rabbits and in another the Em- peror of Russia is bear hunting.
 The King of Spain is also depicted and his majesty has already ordered the first box made of hmselfs for pre- sentation to his little son. One of the chief d'ceuVres of these boxes of the worlds rulers Is to be Teddy Roosevelt in cowbow costume shooting Freddy bears" The craze for the toys is now spreading to London.
