A Railroad Fight
Between Giants

The very latest railroad story
is to effect that with the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific on one
side and the Ell Paso & South
western and Rock Island on the
other, there is being fought at
the present time an interesting
battle for the control of the rail
road situation in Arizona.
An agreement is said to have
been reached by the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific to work in
harmony in the southern halt of
Arizona in order to forestall, if
possible, the efforts of the Rock
Island and the Ell Paso & South
western to get a line to Cali
fornla through Phoenix and Tue
son.
For years the Rock Island has
been trying to get into Califor-
MIA on it's own tracks or those of
some other road than it's rival,
the Southern Pacific, which it
now uses from El Paso to Los
Angeles.
The relations between the Rock
Island and the E. P & S. w. are
so close that the suspicion often
gains ground that each owns
the other. The Rock Island
now uses E. P & S. w. tracks
from Tucumcari, N. NJ, to Ell
Paso.
With the Ell Paso & South
western, Rock Island, Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific all fight
ing for the most advantageous
route, the indications point to a
great railroad activity in Arizona
within the next year.

last night was without moon until il

the part of the Wright flyers that they
should remain away from their bacon and
coffee when all save they had long since
fled the field of white and blue.
They started at about I:;sJ O'clock,
when the sun was low and the west was
shot with red and old. They came down
al about O'Clock, long after they ceased
TO be visible, and by the help of several
beacon fires, started at the order of Will

i've strands which supply the heart,
stomach. liver and kidneys-in fact,
every portion of the body-with SEN

is life itself
1t will be readily seen that good
health depends upon continuous
feeding OF the body with the proper
kind of food-food that is partlcu-
larry nourishing to the nerves We
now know that the two most lmpor-
tant ingredients to build up nerve
cells are Phosphorus and Albumen,
