Say Torreon Did Not Fall.
Passengers arriving here on the
Mexican train and members of the
train crew deny that Torreon has
ever fallen into the hands of the
reyolutionists. An attack was made
on the town, they say, the invaders
using one or two pieces of artillery
that had been captured at Gomez
Palacio, but Torreon was not taken.
In the morning the Mexican federal
telegraph operators are taking mes

to have the wires open.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.

From sources OF known reliability
the Globe Silvert Belt has obtained
the information that the Globe-Du-
range railroad Is certainty and that
before this time next year the grad

competent engineer that work on the
survey would be Immediately started
and the new road rushed TO early com.
the employ of the company was as
signed to make an investigation sew
eral weeks ago. This officer went

since been established in that city
The actual survey is now being made
and with It's completion and approval
construction work will be commenced
The new route passes through a ter

timber, with amazing agricultural and
fruit possibilities. There are tremen
dous beds of iron ore within IL short
distance of Globe, some of the great
est deposits of copper ever discovered
rich gold and silver lodges and great
beds of bituminous coal. There are
no heavy grades and but little tun

LEARNING FROM CHINA.

Even if the Celestial empire is so
thickly settled that 1t suggests an
ant hill or a bee hive, and an occa.
sional Chinaman possibly could be
snuffed out without notice, there Is
an apparent regard for life show,f In
business activities. which might
serve as an object lesson to Chris
tian America.
Although America has led the
world in the business of trans sporta.
ton, IL must also be admitted that
she has led the world In the number
of lives that have been offered up
as a result of carelessness, or hurry
or improper equipment of her roads.
Comes China, now, and with years
practice shows the world how to op
crate tramways without loss of life
and even how to prevent accidents in
most congested streets.
A year ago last June, Shanghai.
one of the great industrial centers
of China, installed tramway system,
trolley road covering twenty-six
miles.
The employees, who were selected
by the management to operate the
road, had never seen a tramway car
before. They couldn't tell the trolley
pole from fuse, and ii is doubtful
If any of them had ever seen n steel
track Add to this handicap, the fact
that the road led through the most
congested districts of the city. where
1inrikishas were four times more nu.
merous than automobiles in our Amer
lean cities, and where the people were
unaccustomed to the movements of
new vehicles which could not deviate
an inch from their fixed path on the
rails, and there was a problem that
would both even a versatile American
citizen.
But Shanghai was equal to the oc-
catiCn. Great care was exercised in
selecting employees and in training
them for the work. They were re.
quired to take an examination in sight
and hearing tests. They had to serve
time in the training room occupied
by the company at it's carhouse. Only
those who passed the best examination
were considered, and these were given
a certificate and placed in charge of
experienced men.
The tramway has been in operation
over a year, yet there has not been
a single loss of life for which the COM
pany could be held responsible, and
there have beeu but a few accidents
and the lines have been operated all
this time, with little or no dissatisfac.
ton on the part OF the natives.
