NEW MEXICO FOR
HER EVERY TIME.
PennsyIvanians Are Settling In the
Vicinity of Questa, Taos County.

Dr.. j. n Woodman, a successful
physician in the pretty town of Questa
of Taos county, who came to New
Mexico six months ago for the benefit
CT his wife who suffered from con-
sumption, states that she has fully
recovered. When they came TO Ques-
ta, Mrs. Woodman weighed only 80
pounds and now she weighs 1870, hav-
ing increased in health and in flesh,
SO that she is today a strong, healthy
woman. DR.. Woodman writes the New
Mexican that other families from his
old home in Pennsylvania are arriv-
ing daily and that they all fall in
love with New Mexico. The follow

Mr.. Max Frost,
Santa Fe, N. NJ
Dear Friend; I thank you very
much for the papers you sent me and
which | received this morning. Also,
for the paper, Santa Fe New Mexi-
can you are to send. My brother
in-law's address is, j. W. Gregg, A. NJ,
Ph. d., Purcellvlle, Va. Next to his
family, I think Brother Johns inter-
est is greatest in the republican party
and his attempt to establish a Repub-
lican paper in that Democratic country
was at first thought to be absurd, but
since last election returns came in in
his district people are beginning to
take notice.
Ny wife said that she never wants
to live in any other state or terri
tory OF the twenty-one states we
have crossed or entered since she was
taken i'll, she likes this the best and
is perfectly satisfied here. During the
four months since we located here
three families of our friends have
done likewise and yesterday two more
came to see the country and are much
pleased. Yours truly

RAILROAD FIGHT WILL
BENEFIT NEW MEXICO
Southern Pacific Will Rush Construc-
tion Line Through Western New
Mexico.

Denver, Jan. 1G.-That the Union
Pacific is not to stop with the lines
of the Colorado and Southern in the
northern part of Colorado, but will
also attack the road in the southern
part of the state seems certain, and
the fight between the Hill and the
Hartman forces for traffic heretofore
controlled by the Colorado and South
ern system recently acquired by Hill,
bids fair to be bitter one. A sur
vey has been made and grading done,
it is said, on three new lines of the
Union Pacific. One force OF the Union
Pacific surveys has been put in the
field to locate a line between Pueblo
and Durango, at which point the
Union Pacific is to connect with the
Southern Pacific with line to be con-
structed through Arizona. The Union
Pacific will then connect these lines
with the main line at Denver. The
first line to be built is from Platts-
vile to Fort Collins. Surveys for this
cutoff have been already made. This
Ghortens the Union Pacific time to
Fort Collins by half an hour and prac-
tically parallels the Colorado and
Southern. The business of the Colo
rado and Southern from this northern
territory, much of which formerly
went to the Union Pacific, has been
turned over to the Burlington. The
Colorado and Southern has been ac-
quired by the Hill interests, and big
railroad fight with Colorado and New
Mexico as the battle ground will ap-
parently result. The proposed line
from the Southern Pacific at Cochise,
in Arizona, through western New
Mexico to Durango, Colorado, has
been surveyed and will develop mag
nificent virgin territory.
Will Open Virgin Domain.

yesterday Professor Jones has re-
turned from an extensive trip through
the mineral districts of southern New
Mexico and Arizona, visiting the Mo-
COLON district, Globe and other Ari-

over the outlook for the mining in

The amount of railroad business to be
done in this district is indicated by

wreck, the second relief train on its
way to Glenwood Springs loaded with
injured has been tied up by derail-

relief train bearing a number of
slightly injured reached Glenwood this
morning bringing reports of the
wreck, which appears to have been
one of the worst in the history of rail
roadng. The most slaughter was
done in the chair car. OF siXty-nine
passengers in that coach siXty-eight
are said to have been killed. One hui
man being to escape was siX-year-

dead body of her mother and who is
too daZed to even remember her

According to a Glenwood dispatch
the wreck was caused by the failure
of Engineer Gus Olson of the passen-

indicated by his watch. When near

watch and read the time 9:45 p. m.

Prof Jones says that by the time
the road is ready to connect with the
Denver & Rio Grande that road will
offer a broad gauge outlet, as proven
by the fact that broad gauge link
with only narrow gauge connection
has been built for the sixty miles be-
tween Durango and Pennington, N. M.
The idea of the new road is to reach
Salt Lake City.
THE mining outlook in the southern

in fact, everywhere, is good" said
Prof. Jones. "Everywhere there is un-
usual and increasing activity and
something doing all the time. Sylvan

of steady producing camp and a
number of first class mines will al

'In my opinion the scarlet fever sit.

tie danger of further spread of tha
disease through the medium Of the

city physician, DR.. John F. Pearce,
last night, according to the Morning
Journal. Dr.. Pearce says that with
the exception of nine cases in the
Fourth ward, three cases in the Sec
ond ward two in the First ward. the
disease is practically at standstlll

"Outside the CITY," said DR.. Pearce,
Sin the native suburbs and as far
south as Isleta pueblo where there is
one case reported the epidemic ha
been severe and the mortality phe-
nomenally high, perhaps one in six
dying from the disease. In Alameda,
Los Candelarias and Othe" outlying

high"
"The alticle yesterday stating that
scarlet fever has practically disap-
peared from Tie families u sc,oo,
children in the Fourth ward is in th',
opinion of Dr.. M. X. Wylde, apt to
be MISLEADING. DR.. Wylder says that

The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-24

The studio luncheon given by Miss Daisy Rowley a few days ago recalled to several of her guests the life of her brother, Charles Rowley. who was wide ly known in Birmingham several years ago in affairs military. Few men here had as many friends He was as popular in business circles. too, as in military affairs and though he was the commander of one of the local companies. It was after his death that his sister, Miss Daisy Row ley, went to Europe to study and when she speaks of the bearing that his death had upon this portion of her life there is a look of deep sadness in her brave eyes. It was after this that debt for an education came and years of struggle such as few girls endure.
 The big studio in the Watts building with it's cosy furnishings and the two handsome grand pianos, with every mo- ment a student coming or going for a music lesson, and the admiration of hum dreds, and material success is the DOT tion of the girl who sailed to Europe a few years ago with no assistance but ambition, energy and talent. Now that 1Ai(NN't be her portion when she planned for the future in those student days in Ger many her noble heart has suggested the thought of other penniless girls with just such ambition as actuated the girl Daisy Rowley when she toiled with her music in Dresden, not knowing one month whether or not it would be possible to remain the next When she discussed the education fund yesterday in her studio she said: If we can just get the money to send these girls, there is no doubt that 1t will be returned to us. There is no girl of ambition who would be without the gratitude or the sense of justice to fail to refund the money advanced, If it was possible for her to do so. A girl of the kind we want to send will be anxious to assist others. I know the hardships of girl with limited means

Moth ing could have proven a more delicious break in the chain of heavy grand operas than this fresh little bit of Scotch humor
 But I am forgetting to tell you about the earthquake concert-that mammoth entertainment for the benefit of the suf- ferers in Italy and Sicily. It was the evening of Sunday January 10, at the Metropolitan and all the principal artists and conductors took part The orchestra
 was magnificent, covering the whole stage and their work particularly in the 1 Miserere' from II Trova tore was past description. This was given by Emma Eames Enrico Caruso and large chorus. The conductor was Francesca Spetrino.
 "Toscanini. though, is the favorite con ductor, but Hertz queer looking and in significant as he is, is a strong second.
 Another lovely thing was the duo from Mozart's Don Giovanni sung by Geral-
 dine Farrar with Antonio Scotti. And the quintet from Die Meistersinger,' sung by Emmy Destinn, Louise Homer, Ries cardo Martin and Adamo Didur was splendid.
 Olive Fremstad sang, too, and Frances Aida and Marianne Flahaut. sextet

 very pretty-a silver one that looked
