WATER WORKS FRANCHISE
Is Asked By Two Different Com
panies. City Council is Inves-
tigating Both Offers, Will
Accept the Best.

The water works system is as
sured and the city council is con-
sidering both offers and will as
soon as a conclusion can be reach
ed award the franchise to the COM
pany which offers the most favor
able consideration to the city. The
two propositions offered are the
Blue Water Holes and the Grear
property on the Parjarita. Both of
these offers are good and the ques-
ton is with the council which shall
be accepted. Both companies have
plenty of water and are offering the
city all that can be expected in the
water works line. SO we need no
longer consider the water problem
handicap to Tucumcari interests.
While our railroad interests are a
great boon to the growth OF our
town, the water works system will
shoot us ahead as far as any other
advantage we have.

The Railroad Situation.

AS yet there is little to say about
the railroad situation. There are
about twenty-four teams and scrap
ers here excavating and leveling
up for thirteen additional tracts
north of the present right-of-way,
and the engineering corps is locat-
ing round house and shop site.
The News has not learned what
sized round house the company in
tends to build, it was reported at
first that thirty stalls would be put
in, but this has not been verified
by the company, and our guess is
that if we get twenty we will have
a good many. Alamogordo had only
a fourteen-stall round house and
the company worked FIVE hundred
men, so If we get twenty we will
have a pay roll here that will make
Tucumcari the busiest town in
New Mexico on the Southwestern
and Rock Island systems. The
railroads have bought property
anywhere it was for sale and have
asked few questions as to the price,
they mean business and are getting
ready to do business and the busi-
ness is here to do, all classes of
real estate has advanced and the
bulls still control the market.
There is much speculation as to
the location of the passenger and
freight depots, but the most reli-
able information that we can get
is that the passenger depot will be
somewhere about the coal chute
crossing and that the freight depot
will be on the site of the present
freight and passenger depot. But
it will make little difference where
these are placed, Main street prop
erty is leading and will be good
from the light plant to sew
eral blocks beyond w. A. Jack
sons office. 1t is fact, however,
that Tucumcari is destined to be
a railroad center, and the Choctaw
and the Southwestern and Rock
Island will join shops here and a
Union depot. This will be a freight
and passenger division and the
home of many railroad men. 1t is
understood that the track from
here to Santa Rosa will be turned
over to the Southwestern in July,
and that the division will be es-
tablished at that time. This means
that Tucumcari will Jump from
1000 to 5000 and maybe E, 700 in
habitants by the first of the year.

STRIKERS STILL HOLDING OUT.
LOngshoremen, Expected to Break Yester-
day, Surprise Steamship Lines.

There seemed to be a belief yesterday that the
striking longshoremen. the steamship lines hav-
ing finally reiterated their determination to fight
the strike to the end at all costs would break
ranks and stampede back to work. but they
met in Greenwich Hall in the afternoon and
passed resolutions to keep up the strike. The
impression among the companies was that the
strike leaders were holding the striker by in
ducing them to believe that they would gain
concessions If they remained out long enough
and that Connors. the strike leader, would make
another proposition.
All the strike breakers who were driven from
the pier by the union men during the riot while
they were unloading the Regina d'Italia at Pier
B. Jersey City, on Tuesday. did not return TO
work yesterday. The two hundred union men
who drove them away returned to work yes
