gold mine, apparently of consider

HAD HIS TRIP ALL LAID OUT
Enjoyment Of Business Man Seemed
to Center Around His Return
to America.

"'The average American business
man does not care very much for a
trip to Europe. If he will consent
to take a few minutes away from
business he usually prefers to get
into the woods, where he can knock
around in old clothes, have a few
hardships, plenty of exercise and a
great deal of freedom
Thus spake Zarathustra. Continu-
ing;
'My brother, who is president of a
large New York corporation, let his
wife prevail on him to take a brief
trip to Europe this summer. l re-
ceiyed a letter from him, written on
the steamer going over, and he said
"T shall mail this at Plymouth,
where we touch, so you can hear
from us promptly. From there we
shall go on to Hamburg. | do not
like this life. Too. little activity.

the Alps, then to Paris, then back to
London and then, thank God, turn

the shipment of Intoxicating hq
uor into prohibition territory.
Mr.. Stone said that he would.
Apparently this satisfied the
ladies, but not the Review. 1t
wants to know why Senator
Stone did not say what he did
years ago. It concludes:
The people want to know why he
has been silent on this great ques-
tior. And they know Mr.. Folk has
not been silent and that he will not
be silent when it comes to fighting
liquor. AID that is why he is goiug
to beat Mr.. Stone Tor senator.
1t was rather unkind of the
Review to call attention to Mr..
Folks liquor-fghting proclivi-
ties; and it is hard to believe that
he makes a racket about his
booze-fghting, while Senator
Stone does his on the quiet. 1t
is generally thought that both
the candidates frequently make
attacks on whiskey and succeed
in putting down to a considera-
bic extent the nefarious stuff.
But that Mr.. Folk is loud about
it while Mr.. Stone is silent we
refuse to believe.

Republican managers in pub
fishing an article alleged to have
been written by Grover Cleve-
land shortly before his death,
will have little effect on the ul-
innate outcome of the campaign.
That it created a sensation no
one can deny and temporarily it
elated the Republican managers
and dismayed a few Democrats;
but when the people began to
consider the matter there was
very little about the article to
cause surprise.
Cleveland probably wrote the
article, as it is obviously in his
style and contains just the senti-

was several months before

land. Foremost among them
was Col Henry Watterson, ed
itor of the Louisville Courier
journal. Col. Watterson wrote
many derogatory articles about
Mr. Bryan and declared that to
nominate him again would be

i. Watterson saw the light and

EXPECT NEW ROADS
EARLY N YEAR
Chihuahua Looks Forward To
Some Activity From Two
Big Companies.
(Chihuahua Enterprise,

While there is nothing absolutely
certain, the prospects are that the
state of Chihuahua will see an era OF
active railroad buildrng begun early
in the coming year. There is practi-
cally no doubt but that the construc-
ton work on the Kansas City, Mexi-
co & Orient railroad will be taken
up, with much vigor and there is good
reason to believe that II. r. Nicker-
son, president of the Sierra Madre &,
Pacific road, is making Roadway to-
ward financing that road and begin
ming construction work
President, .Still4eil Of the Orient is
still in England. raising money for
the construction of that road. Ac-
cordfng to reports, his prospects OF
success seem to be reasonably bright
at this time. A small force has been
at work right along grading west of
Sanchez station in the Sierra Madre
mountains. The Conchos river bridge
in eastern Chihuahua was recently
completed, so lSilometers of track are
now graded and hlometers are De-
ing laid. II is only about 65 miles
through an easy country between the
Conchos and Rio Grunde rivers. To
encourage the completion of the road
to the eastern line or the state, Gov,
Creel has arranged to give the com
pany $3.50, 900 CMeXlcan currency in
state bonds of the GOO, 900 pesos bonus
promised by the state. 1t is also known
TO be the intention of Mr.. Stillwell
to get that road connected up be
tween Kansas City and Chihuahua as
soon as possible.
President NickersCn of the Sierra
Madre &c Pacific road, is giving on,
no news regarding rne financing and
beginning of construction on the road
but it is known that he is working on
the financial part and that his pros
poets are much brighter since tne
presidential election in the states II
is known, too, that strong financia
people in New York are taking much
interest in the road,
As is well known, this road is
planned to be an extension OF the
Rio Grande. Sierra Madre & Pacific
railroad which runs from FL Paso and
c. Juarez southwestwaTd to Nuevs
Casas Grandes, chihuahua. There Is
reason to believe that the Cple-RyaT
interests which control the great Can
anea copper mines and have large
claims against the Sierra Madre Lane
and Lumber company, may back the
building of the road from Nueva CasaS
Grandes to Santo Tomas on the chi
huahua and Pacific railroad so as Il
reach the lumber mills by means O.
the latter road to Temosachic and
thence by means of the present Sier
"a Madre and Pacific railroad to Ma
! dera where the saw mills are located
Col. Greene in July last procured
from the federal government an ex
tension of the concession OF this road
1t is said that this extension is fol
two years.

OFF FOR PRESENT
Board of Trade Meeting IS

day Plans, ........

1t seems now probable that the rate
conference that had been proposed toTE
December Is, between the Board OF
Trade and officials of the Z. P. & 5.
W. will be postponed for some time:
\. y. Brown, general freight agent OF
lie road, is reported to be. in the cas-!
and is not expected to return until
after the date formerly set for the
meeting. President Buxton of the
board of trade, is looking after his IL
tSrests in Sylvanite, and has not yet
taken uD the matter of fixing another
date for the conference.
1t is the opinion of Secretary Rey'
nolds that the conference will now be
postponed until after the holidays.
Any date set subsequent to the l5th
and before Christmas would neces-
sarily be so near to the holiday weeh
as to interfere with the plans OF
some of thvse that are most interest
cd. 1t is therefore probable that the
meeting will be arranged for some
time early in January.
