On his return from New York,
Mr.. Cullen, manager of the
Southwestern Engineering &
Construction Co, gives out the
information that the roadbed will
be ready to receive the ties and
steel in thirty days. Shipping
orders have been sent for ties
and rails and as soon as the first
shipment arrives the work will
begin. The first construction
train will operate from Hereford
north instead of from Adrian as
first contemplated, and the com
pany will not wait for the Rock
Island to extend its line to ex-
tend its line to the junction. -

farwelI 10 Have Station,

Il conclude under the law, that
the Railroad Commission of
Texas, under its general juriS-
dictiOn over the railroads of
of Texas, has the power to re-
Quire railroads to establish de
pots at places where the interest
of the public at large demand
that depots should be establish
ed, and that the issuance of the
order involved in this case the
Railroad Commissioners had eX-
erciSed a reasonable discretion
authorized under the laws and
Constitution of this State. Judg
ment, therefore will be rendered
for the defendant.
The above is the concluding
paragraph of the decision of the
court with reference to the suit
brought by the Pecos Valley
Railroad against the Railroad
Commission of the state. The
Commission has issued an order
requiring the railroad to eStab-
lish and maintain a depot and
station at Farwell, the county
seat Of Farmer County, and the
railroad sought TO enjoin the
order. The judgment of the
court upholds the Commission
and the railroad will thereby be
compelled to build a station.
Heretofore the people of that
town have been compelled to SO
across the state line to TeXico in
order TO get freight and to take
passage on trains. In addition
the railroad could charge higher
freight rates to TeXico as it was
without the state. In fact the
rates to Texico is, on ordinary
freight, twenty cents per hun
dred pounds to Texico than il
was to Bovina, a town eighteen
or twenty miles this side.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
President Issues Annual Message From the
White House-Sets Thursday,
November 26.

ildllu Will, dCCOTulllS W llle dll-
cient custom of our people, it be-
comes the duty of the president
to appoint day of prayer and
thanksgiving to God.
Year by year this nation
grows in strength and worldly
power. During the century and
quarter that has elapsed since
our entry into the circle of indie
pendent people we have grown
and prospered in material things
to degree never before known
in any other country. The thir-
teen colonies which struggled
along the seacoast of the Atlantic
and were hemmed in but few
miles west of tide water by In
dian hunted wilderness, have
been transformed into the might
lest republic the world has ever
known. It's domains stretch
across the continent from one to
the other of the two greatest
oceans, and it exercises dominion
alike in the arctic and tropic
realms. The growth in wealth
and population has surpassed
even the growth in territory.
Nowhere else in the world is the
average of individual comfort and
material well being as high as in
our fortunate land.
For the very reason that in
material well being we have thus
abounded we owe to the AL
mighty to show equal progress
in moral and spiritual things.
With the nation, as well as indi-
viduals who make up a nation,
material well being is an indiS-
pensible foundation. But the
foundation avails nothing by it.
self. The life is wasted and
worse than wasted which is spent
in piling, heap on heap, those
things which minister to the
pleasure of the body and to the
power that rests only on wealth.
Upon material well being as
foundation must be raised the
structure of the lofty life of the
spirit, if this nation is to prop
erly fulfill it's great mission, and
to accomplish all that we so ar
IDENTIFY hope and desire. The
things of the body are good; the
things of the intellect are better;
but the best of all are the things
of the soul, for in the nation and
as in the individual, in the long
run it is character that counts.
Let us therefore as a people set
our faces resolutely againts evil
and with broad charity, with
kindness and good will toward
all men, but with unflinching de-
termination to smite down wrong
strive with all the strength that
is given us for righteousness in
public and private life.
Now therefore, |, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the
United States, do set apart
Thursday, the Goth day of No
vember, next, as general day of
Thanksgiving and prayer, and on
that day | recommend that the
people cease from their daily
work, and in their houses or in
their churches, meet devoutly to
thank the Almighty for the many
and great blessings that they
have received in the past and to
pray that they may be given
strength so to order their lives
as to deserve a continuation of
these blessings in the future.
in witness whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to
be affixed.

AN ASSAY OFFICE.

Salt Lake gets deserved recognition,
in spite of opposition from quarters
within its walls and beyond. An illus
tration is that of the passage of the
Sutherland bill in the House yesterday.
While numerous members were strug-
Cling to get their own bills before the
House. Speaker Cannon accorded Rep
resentattve Howell the opportunity of
calling up the Sutherland bill. This
provides for an appropriation of 800
900 for the establishment and main
tenance of a government assay office In
this city. Chairman Tawney, of the ap
preparations committee opposed the
passage of the measure. and he was
seconded by Representative Mann,
