Another Railroad for the Valley.

La Junta will soon have all
kinds of street railways-that is,
providing plans which are now
in the first four-fush OF execu-
tion do not fall by the wayside.
:. lew days ago the directors of
:he Canon City, Pueblo and La
Junta Railway and Power COM
pany met in Pueblo and elected
officers OF the company. Plans
were discussed at length and it
was decided to open Offices in
Pueblo at once and commence
the work of building and equip
ping an electric interurban rail
way which will extend from Can
on City to the Kansas state line.
he officers elected were as fol-
lows: President, Alfred L. Bent,
OF Lamar; general manager, An
drew ]. Behymer, OF Elwood,
dali. Of Pueblo; assistant secre-
tary. Charles r. Buckley, of La
Junta; treasurer. F. f. Pastor
ious. OF Colorado Springs. The
meeting of the directors is said
20 have been a very enthusiastic
one. and it is proposed to enter
upon the detail work OF building
the line at once. The capital
stock, however, is only 100000,
and we very much doubt whether
this amount will build the power
houses that would be necessary
to operate the plant. An inter
urban line. such as is proposed,
would prove great factor in
the development of the Arkan-
sas valley, besides providing
cheaper fares. cheaper freight and
the convenience of quick trans
portation from one locality to an
other at frequent intervals. 1t
would mean cheaper coal from
Canon City, and cheaper freight
on all kinds of merchandise from
Pueblo. We surely hope that this
interurban dream will come true.
There is also another line pro-
iected, which will be a distinctly
Otero county affair. 1t is pro-
posed to construct line from
La Junta to Rocky Ford through
Swink, and take in most of the
farming community adjacent.
The cars are operated by gasoline
power, on a plan similar to that
of an automobile-each car be-
ing operated independent OF any
othere. This line can be built
and equipped for less than $780,
600. No power houses, poles and
trolley lines are required, and
the expense Of constructing the
roadbed would not be one-half
that required by the proposed in
terurban line. In time it is pro-
posed to extend the line and
make circuit of Otero county,
taking in all of the prominent
towns. This line will be oper-
ated on several of the streets of
La Junta, giving quick transpor-
tation to outlying residence dis
tricts and affording cheaper rents
for workingmen, thus solving a
problem that is becoming a very
serious one in La Junta. A line
similar to the one proposed is at
present in operation in Salina,
Kan. The company is already at
work securing franchises and
rights-of-way. The gentlemen
who are back of this project are
as follows: G. w. Swink, ]. F.
Gauger, E. S. Alnutt, Fred A.
Sabin and ]. B. Pearce.

Chinese as Soldiers.

One Of the greatest assets pos
sessed by Chinese as soldiers is in
their marching power; another is their
ability to manage with the smallest
amount of transport owing to the
hardy outdoor life and climate to
which they are accustomed, and to the
fact that they live almost entirely on
rice. Two other points in their favor
are that they have no caste prejudices.
and have already learned the virtue Of
discipline before they enlist. Drunk.

A Severe Cut.

Arthur Minister a young man Of this
city. while at work in bayfield, on the
Plant farm. met with serious and
very painful accident yesterday morn
ing. He was walking along with a
scythe over his shouler when he tripped
and fell. In falling. he put out his
left hand to break the fall and placed
it directly upon the upturned blade of
the scythe. A deep cash was cut the
entire length of the palm Of the hand
and about two inches up on the wrist,
making q cash almost six inches long
and nearly the whole thickness of the
hand in depth.
He was hurried to DR.. Donnelrs
office. where it was discovered that
arteries, veins and tendons had been
severed. The bleeding was temporar-
lily checked. In company with DIR.
Donnell the young man walked to the
Office of the Drs. Strout. where he was
etherized and the wound dressed by
