Resuning Railway Construction in
 Chihuahua.

R. NJ. Dudley, of this city, stated on Thursday that he was sending materials and supplies out to begin the work of grading the Mexico North-Western Railway Company's railroad from Madeira to Terrazas, the latter point being the southern most terminus of the same com pany's Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad from Fl Paso, Tex, and c. Juarez, Chin. Mir. Dudley also stated that by the end of this week or the first of next that he would have outfits throw ing dirt at both ends of the line of his contract which is about 100 miles. MT. Dudley is letting sub- contracts and is advertising for Mexican laborers for this work.
 Members of the Mormon Colo nies have grading contracts for about 30 kilometers southward from Terrazas and Mir. Dudley has the rest of the work. The exact length of the line has not yet been deter mined as it is only finally located for something over 40 miles north ward from Madeira and probably less that distance southward from Terrazas. Engineers are in the field rapidly locating the central part of the line. The total length of the line will be about 10 miles.
 It is understood that the grading of this road is to be rushed with all speed practicable. It is known that the Mexico North Western Railway Co.,, is anxious to get its Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad connected with its lines from this city at Madeira Rails are already being shipped for this road.-Chihuahua Enter. prise.

Faces Eastern College.

Determined to maintain the high stan

opens the football season this after
noon at National Park. with Eastern
College as an opponent
Up to last season the HatcheUtes were
hardly ever considered real contenders
for the championship OF this section.
but Captain Sommers team came for
ward with such an unexpected and sud
den rush that the university gained a
position that was undeniable. The team
was heavy but fasy and, when driven
TO the height OF its game, as It was
against Washington and Lee, had a
style of Offense most impressive.
This year Coach DouED .rty had
taken up where Coach Nelson left off,
and, just now, the prospects are far
brighter than they were this time last
year as there is goodiy nucleus avail
able and a string Of newcomers who viii
compel the veteran players TO exert
themselves to the utmost to maintain
their positions
Another advantage the Hatchetites
will have today is that they have been
practicing longer than any other team

1t is estimated that llO, 600 tour
lists visited Los Angeles and San
Diego during the past winter. A
Chicago merchant writes:
Southern California is certainly
one Of Natures most charming
winter quarters. And when this
becomes more generally recognized
European travel will find a real
competitor. The climate is prefer
able to any found in Europe. Asia
or Africa Of which l have any
knowledge"
1t would be a good thing if
Americans, generally, having mon
ey and leisure would initiate this
writer's example and try the re-
sorts in their own country. The
prosperous people Of America
spend hundreds Of millions every
year in Europe. Nobody grudges
that money to the European coun-
tries when it is we'll spent. But
certainly some Of the travel, q
great deal Of it, ought to be done
here at home.
