SAFFORD, January Believing
 that the construction of the proposed extension of the Arizona & Eastern
 railway through the Box canyon of the .GHa river, as part of the Southern Pa. .cifc low grade transeontinental line will be of more importance than the .building of an irrigation dam at San
 Carlos, the people of Graham ard Iowec leila counties petitioned Secretary of the Interior Ballinger to grant that con, pany low grade right of way, at an lenthusiastie meeting held here tonight
 The meeting was well attended and the merits of both the railroad and the lam site project were thoroughly dis lussed.
 It was the opinion of those present
 st the meeting that the building of the Railroad would be of incalculable bene, tt While it was felt that the irrrga,
 a ion project would be of some i'm SDortance to this section of the country, 5 was the feeling that a site above San q arlos could be secured at point hyhefe the cost of construction would
 hot be so great, where the railroad Aroiect would not be interfered with, kybere there would be almost total ' absence of silt and at point where n he agricultural lands of Graham coUn- ay as we'll as those in the Florence dis 1riet could be irrigated

My friends became alarmed be-

prescribed by physicians, but their eff

WOMEN AS CAR CONDUCTORS.
Seem to Be Giving Satisfaction in
Santiago, Chile.

They have women conductors on the
electric cars of Santiago, the capital
of Chile. This was made necessary
by the late war. which took so many
men to the front, and imposed upon
women the work usually done by men.
The custom has been kept up, the
women having proved equally as eff
cient as the men had been.
One of the most peculiar customs
seen here is the evening promenade in
the plaza or park, which is attended
by young ladies and young men and
quite small boys and girls. They do
not mix. but keep quite separate paths.
Yet even the little girls at or
years are finished coquettes, says the
Logical Point. Their eyes languidly
observe every man and boy in the
plaza, and they take care that each
shall receive a due share of their
smiles.
Another curions custom which pre-
walls in Santiago, and which is Joined
by those fortunate enough to have fine
horses and carriages, is the promenade
at the Parque CAUSING, a beautiful
park near the center of the city.
in single file in the center of the prive
and the carriages, with uniformed
coachmen and fotben and beautifully
gowned women and fashionably dress
ed men occupying the carriages, ride
around and around these mounted
police.
Sometimes there are two or as many
as six rows of carriages, some going in
the opposite direction and alternating,
the ladies smiling and the gentlemen
tipping their hats in a polite manner.
This promenading lasts from o'clock
in the afternoon until o'clock in the
evening.

FOR SOUTHERN KAN. DIVISION.
Santa Fe Receives Delivery of 90
Pound Rails.

ottawa, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE distrib-
ution yesterday of a dozen cars of 90
pound steel rails along the right-of-
way of the Santa Fe in Ottawa, and
the announcement of the immediate
re-laying of the line gives credence
to the 1ong-prevailing rumors of in
creased traffic on the southern Kan
sas division.
Two years ago the line was replaced
by 85-pound rails, forming a line five
pounds heavier to the yard than that
on the Santa Fe main line.
The plans provide for the re-laying
of the track between Ottawa and In
dependence, a distance of over 100
miles, as we'll as the Girard branch
between Chanute and Pittsburg. The
Santa Fe recently secured terminal
sites in Joplin via Pittsburg and it is
possible that this might be an opening
for extended traffic.

LEFT TRAIN IN BRIDGE FIRE.
Trainmen Returned to Its Rescue
After a Desertion.


Missouri Pacific men about the pas
senger station are having a good deal
of fun over the actions of a freight
train crew at bridge fire on the COT
feyville branch east of Conway Springs
Monday, says the Wichita Beacon. The
train was going down a stiff grade in
the Flint hills when the engine men
discovered a long bridge ahead of them
to be afire. They tried to stop the
train, but owing to the grade they
feared they would not be able to do SO
before it reached the bridge. Conse-
quently men of the crew jumped to
safety and watched the train glide on
tward the burning trestle. To their
establishment, however, the bridge held
and the engine stopped in the midst
of the flames. Finally the engineer
and fireman plucked up courage to
climb out to their cab and rescue the
train. All exposed wod parts of the
engine and tender were badly dam
aged, but it was able to complete its
run. The bridge was totally destroyed
and traffic on the Coffeyville branch
will be detoured for several days.
