Bahl left the division, will take a position with 8H. R. Cornforth in the construction of track on the Southern Pacific extension out of Orendain.
 Mexican Herald: Rainy weather has prevailed all over the central part of Mexico and it is stated by railroad men that only fortunate distribution of the rainfall, so that tbere nave been but few freshets 8 along the various lines, has saved trouble with soft tracks and wash outs. The rain of the present sum- mer season has come earl Y and steadily over wide area as we'll as in the City of Mexico, but since the floods of few weeks ago there has not been any considerable traffic delay on the several lines running in here.
 Jalisco Times: The concession \ providing for the establishment in \ Guadalajara of an electric lighting and power system by Manuel Cuesta Gallardo of this city has been approved by the State Legis- lature, and the official decree has been issued. The concession ex- empts the new enterprise from all # State and Municipal taxes for a period of twenty years, and grants four years in which to install the system and place itin operation. 1t requires Mir. Cuesta to make de- poslt of 5000 within ninety days.

1907. the Indian police. under In
'structions from Indian Agent Lfpps'
removed the fence and stock pens
and turned the livestock onto the
commons. The fence was restored
by Mr.. Ziver, and June 2 Of last
