Boyd was too weary to do more than

fortune favored Fraser, for before he
had gone far he saw a young woman

plucking the blooms with careless hand
while she drank in the beauty OF the
bright arctic morning. She was SIM

that Fraser instantly decided:

Plans to Bring Homeseekers
From Chicago and New

According TO an unofficial and un-
confirmed report, FL Paso is TO be made
one corner or angle OF a popular tour
list route from Chicago to New Or
leans, Chicago-El Paso-New Orleans
Chicago An official of the G. H. is
said TO be in Chicago at present ar
ranging for the dining car service for
the route It will be extremely adver-
tised and, being the principal break in
the triangular route, Ell Paso will ben
eft accordingly.
The local officials Of the G. H. are
daily expecting information from the
general offices at Houston regarding
the train service that is to be installed
on the @. H between Ell Paso and Del
Rio, the effect of which will be to give
double daily train service between FL
Paso and points east. It is said that
the service viii go on on November L.
While the general manager of the
G. H, in a Herald interview, stated that
the reason for the additional service
was principally an advertisement, it is
probable that another reason is to
fully occupy its territory and keep out
possible competitors. The Gould lines
are to a certain extent competitors of
the Sunset-CentraI route in transcon-
itnental passenger service.

|. & c. \. BILL CAUSES ROAD
To ABANDON EXTENSION PROJECT
ST Louis Brownsville & Mexico Road Resends It's De-
eision to Build From Kingsville to Aice-In Letter
to Alice Business Men 3. F. Yoakum Gives the
Reasons for the Roads Action

FL Paso was not the only sufferer
by reason of the passage of the notori-
Gus Il & G.. n. bill" The st. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico road has an
nounced that owing to the passage of
the bill it has rescinded its decision
to build an extension from Kingville
on the main line to Alice, a junction
point on the San Antonio & Arkansas
Pass and the National Railways OF
Mexico. The road would have cost APP
proximately 100000, all of which, ac-
cording to B. F. Yoakum, would have
been spent in Texas for material.
The branch line from Kingville to
Alice was only a part of the roads ex
tension plans, which would have cost
in the neighbOrhood of $4,000, 600
In a letter to the committee of bust
ness men of Alice, Mr. Yoakum ex-
plains why the road has rescfnded its
decision to build the extension. The
people of that city have been Informed
by A T. Perkins; vice president of
the road just before his departure for
Europe that the road would be built.
That was before the I. & G. n. bill
passed the legislature and became law.
Mr.. Yoakum in his letter says that the
stopping of extension plans by his road
was due to the passage of the bill.
He added that he knew nothing OF
the merits of the law in question, but
that it had had the effect of making
financiers regard Texas as a bad place
to invest their money.
FL Pasos loss by reason of the law
is the Quanah, Acme & Pacific, road,
to which AIr. Yoakum makes reference
in his deter:
There have been several people to
see me in the last few weeks with new
railroad enterprises in Texas. While
this bill may be declared unconstitu
tional by the courts, 1 don't honestly
believe that any new railroad enter
prise whose mortgage does not ante
date the enactment of this law, can sell
bonds at so cents on the dollar for new
railroad construction in Texas, if such
bonds are not guaranteed by some ex-
listing railroad system. l know of one
specific case where the construction of
approximately $50 miles of railroad was
being financed through the panhandle
of Texas to the Rio Grande that has
been Indefinitely postponed, and will
probably not be taken up again for
some time, if at all. Investors of mon
ey, especially those of trust funds, or
for estates, scrutinize very closely the
character of investments, and they
would not feel justified in buying a
first mortgage bond which in reality
would not, under all circumstances,
prove to be a first mortgage; nor would
they take tine risk of buying a lawsuit
with the state TO test the validity OF

Loud complaints had come to President
Taft from various dry districts, notably
In the south and west, that the prohibition
laws were negatived through the operations
OF the blind tigers" and the "bootleggers,"
and in response to demands for remedial
measures he directed that steps be taken
to stop the practices so far as lay within
the federal power,
New regulations were drawn under the
supervision of Mr.. Cabell, the commissioner
Of internal revenue, and approved by secre-
taTy MacVeagh today, They set out that
as the peddling of liquors is not contem-
plated by the internal revenue laws and no
provision is made for the issuance OF any
stamp legalizing such practice, peddlers of
liquors or "bootleggers' are not to be re-
garded as coming within the class of unin-
territorial violators and should be arrested
for prosecution whenever found selling
liquor in such manner.
Heavy penalties Of fine or Imprisonment
