Santa Fe Central Plans Another for
Memorial Day

The Santa Fe Central has announced
that special train will be run from Val.
ley points to Santa Fe on Saturday. May
so, Memorial Day, for the benefit Of the
old soldiers and any others who may de-
sire to attend the Memorial Day Exer-
cises in the Ancient City. The rates will
be the same as have prevailed the past
few months on similar excursions, viz:
From Willard $l.50 for the round trip.

ana MOriarty, $1O0
The train will be composed of two Ca
booses, two Santa Fe Central coaches
and two foreign coaches. The train will
run double header to insure sufficient mo-
tive power. This being the first eXour-

will be a large crowd take advantage Of
the low rate.
Several had expressed a desire to 60
up on Saturday and remain over until
Sunday, SO as to have more time in the
old city, and avoid the return home so
late at night. This matter was taken up
with Mr. Grimshaw, assistant to the pre-.
sident and general manager Of the road,
but he did not think it possible to extend
the return limit.

to Roddys refreshment parlors, where
they we're confronted by 16 smiling
