A new FAST SCHEDULE
Said to Be Coming on the |. G G. N.
as Result of Recent Conference
In Texarkana.

The Houston Chronicle picks up
this railroad news in Houston. 1t is
not known how authentic the Chron
icle is, but it has been known here for
some time that a new and faster
schedule was under discussion. AS
the Chronicle says, the new schedule
will be a good one, and should mean
a big increase in traffic for the Texas
road. The Chronicle story follows:
A Encouragement of the fast freight
schedule of the |. & G. n. road be-
tween Houston and San Antonio and
st. Louis has been made that greatly
shortens the time of moving through
freight and at the same time about
three hours has been clipped off of
the running time of the 1. e G. N.
passenger train No. between the
same points, This result was reached
at the recent meeting at TeXarkana,
which was called for this purpose,
and was participated in by the traffic
and passenger officials of several
roads.
The TeXarkana meeting had moth
ing to do with the strike on the T. &
P. that is said to be contemplated by
the firemen and enginemen, as was
announced under big headlines in
some papers.
The more important matter of clip
ping out dead time was taken up
with results that will be spectacular
perhaps in the effect on the south
bound freight competition and on re-
turn freight.
Texarkana is the breaking up yard
for the Gould roads for all through
freight from ST. Louis over the line of
the Iron Mountain or Missouri Pa
cific The Texas and Pacific receives
it there and brings it on to Longyiew
Junction, where it is delivered to the
1. G G. N.
Judge Freeman said that all dead
time was cut out and that between
now and July 1, the time for trans
porting through freight between st.
Louis and l. & G. N. points in Texas
will be shortened from twelve to
twenty hours.
1t was also decided to cut down the
passenger time on No. 8 between St
Louis and Houston and San Antonio
about three to four hours. The dead
time will be eliminated and the card
will be strung higher so as to make
up the necessary time. The new
schedule has not yet been formally
strung but No. that leaves st. Louis
at o'clock in the morning will reach
San Antonio at 6 the next evening. In
stead of at 10 o'clock, as is the case
now. The same time will be saved
on the return trip. The change will
make possible the addition of another
sleeper to Monterey which will prob,
ably be at once put on.
No. 8, which now arrives in Hous,
ton at 5:45, will reach here about
2:40.
1t is also contemplated that buff
fet parlor car will be put on No. g,
from Palestine to Houston both ways
The clip of time is the biggest an.
nounced by any road in Texas for a
long time and marks the vigor with
which, after getting results on track
and roadbed of the 1. e G. N. road
Judge Freeman intends to make these
results count and this improved right
of-way pay by eliminating many hours
on freight schedules and a juicy
chunk of time out of the passenger
train running time.

Conejos Mills to be
Rebuilt at Once.

The Conejos Roller Mills as well
as the electric light plant destroy
ed by fire on the morning of June
26 are to be rebuilt as soon as
possible on the site of the former
building. Much of the machinery
has already been ordered as some
time is required by the manufac-
turers to fill such orders. The
new mill will be modern in every
respect and when it is completed
the company will be better equip
ped than ever for the economical
production Of high grade flour.
1t has been decided that the fire
was of incendiary origin and not
accidental as at first supposed.
Carl Carey, the night electric man,
closed down all the machinery
before he left the building at >
O'Clock and not even the water
wheel was running as enormously
stated in this paper last week.
X. b. Potter, deputy county clerk,
lives opposite the mill and while
building the kitchen fire at 5:3O
glanced out of the window and
saw the fire shining through three
windows in different parts of the
old mill. Early arrivals say
there was no fire in the dynamo
room during the first stages of the
conhagration. Insurance adjusters
have passed upon the loss and
told the officers of the company
that insurance will be paid in full
The new elevator at Bountiful is
being rushed to completion, in
fact is nearly finished. 1t con
tains storage bins OF large capacity
and the company will be in the
market to buy wheat this fall the
same as usual.

Small Fire Wednesday After
Noon.

A small barn belonging to j. w.
E'inney on the Sanford road near
the outskirts of La Jara burned
Wednesday afternoon about 5:30.
The family were absent from home
all day and had but just returned
when the fire was discovered.
Owing to the distance 10 or 10
minutes elapsed before the alarm
was given in town and as the fire
department and total population
Were starting for the scene Peter
Guyman returned from the fire in
buggy and said it was no use to
make the run as the barn was be-
yond saving and no other buildings
We're in danger. The engine and
hose cart were taken to the fire
but most of the citizens turned
back and to this seemingly tritling
circumstance is probably due the
fact that several stores were not
looted by "a bold band OF robbers
who evidently set fire to the barn
and planned to hold up the few
citizens who remained in the
business section. A neighbor near
the Finney home heard sharp
layploSion from tba direction of the
barn shortly before the fire was
discovered and child saw "a man
running across the field towards
town. These facts taken in con.
nection with the cracking of the
safe at the Dewdrop Inn the same
night point to cunning but in.
effectual plot to holdup the town

County Commissioners Meeting.

County commissioners heid Il
regular meeting Tuesday at Cone
jos.
W. l.. Martin of Sanford was
awarded contract to rebuild the
bridge across the La Jara near
Engle's ranch about a mile and a
half north of La Jara. Threshing
outfits We're unable to cross this
bridge last year on account of its

The L. S. forest service RENTED
81 ,SlO40, the county's share of
revenues derived from forest re-
serves within the county After
deducting all expenses the general
government turns over to the
various counties the remainder Of
the receipts.
The commissioners accepted with
pleasure the offer of Zeph Chas.
Felt. rendered through Homer
Neel, for betterment Of the county
road west OF the d. Il r. G. track
from Bountiful south on the road
to Conejos. Mr.. Felt offers to
plow on each side of the proposed
grade with his steam plow, with
ont cost to the coulty, provided,
the county pays for moving the
pIowed ground up onto the grade.
The demand for better roads is so
great from every part of the county
that the commissioners could easily
use, during the next few years,
many times the revenue at their
disposal for this work.
The commissioners turned over
to the district attorney the prose
cution of several parties who have
recently violated the law relative
to flooding the public roads. All
that is needed now is reliable eye
witnesses to testify as to the facts
in the case and doubtless some of
the guilty ones will get what is
coming to them,
Several fences that trespass on
the right of way of the county
roads west of Romeo were ordered
removed and all bitches built on
the public roads are to be removed
at the end of the present irrigating
