"lARk OF WALES"

Madame S. J. Thomas, the Lark
of Wales" is the most popular men,
Der of the Llanelly Royal Prize choir,
judging from the number of encores
awarded her on the tour. There are
two reasons to account for this-the
marvellous flexibility of her voice and
her pleasing stage department. Nine.
Thomes. who is the wife of the direc-
tor. will not be offended when one
says that she is the eldest lady in the
choir. It is necessary to make this
statement to explain little incident.
Thousands have heard her sing. Bish-
ops 10. Hear the Gentle Lark" and
those who have heard Melba sing
the same song remark on the absolute
similarity OF the opening passages.
One admirer of Madame Thomas re-
marked to her: Madame, you must
have studied Melba very closely in
that Interpretation. as you are ex.
actly alike" The Madame answered
pleasantly. THAT can't be, as l sang
the Lark Song before 1 heard Of Mel

The report of the Pennsylyania
ambitious plan to operate through
trains from New York TO the western
coast, which was given wide eireula-
ton and was heard with considerable
interest in Albuquerque, was to the ef-
feet that both roads would combine
to give a service unequalled by any
other road or combination of roads
making il possible for u passenger To
board 4 train in New York and go
through to San Francisco or Los An
geles without change. That such
a plan was contemplated has not
been denied and the trip of the off
cials headed by director of the road,
has given cause for belief that the
project has not been abandoned.

Of rock and dirt that were blown

loads the dirt ana rock into small
cars which are made up into trains
of eight and ten cars oach and hauled
away by dinkey engines running over

The company expects to have the
grade completed through Mantanuco

steel bridge win probably be com"
pleted by that time and the track
layers will then have a clear stretch
Of finished roadbod Tor nearly twelve

pany expects TO have A5 miles OF
track laid by the end OF the year
Although the track layers have not
been engaged for some time IN eN-
tending the main line track. the iull
force has been kept on and Is busy
building side tracks and passing
tracks where they are required.
when not engaged in laying track
the men have been kept busy smooth
ing the roadbed ana laying ballast,
The result Is that the roadbed is In
as fine condition as 1t Is possible TO
get new road.
Gangs OF men are also engaged IN
constructing fences along the line

That Is the purpose of the com
