No HOIIddu
Rates this Year

Chicago, Nov, 20 Western
railroads are becoming tight
wads in the matter of reduced
fares for holidays and to con
ventions and expusitions, and
a meeting of Chicago business
interests will be held tonight
to protest against the action of
the passenger men.
Members of the Western
Passenger Association have
decided that if Chicagoans
want to spend the Yuletide
reason with "paw and nav"
back on the farm, they mnst
pay full fare, and if paw and
nav want to come to town
they must do likewise. In
short there will be no Christ
mas or New Year holiday
fares this year in Western
Passenger Association terri
tory, which embraces Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota.
Montana, Wyoming. Utah,
Colorado and Nebraska. The
same action was taken by the
roads last year.
Cities all over in the West
are up in arms against the re
fusal of the association to grant
special rates to various expo
sitions and conventions, Tho
Methodist general conference,
to be held in Minneapolis next
May, was refused its applica-
tion for special fares. The Ma
tional Western Stock Show at
Denver, the Texas Land Ex-
position at Huston, both to be
held in January, and the ce
ment shows in Chicago and
Kansas City were also denied
special rates. :

Governor of the State of New
Mexico, accompanied by Judge
A. Fl. Hudspeth, Of White
Oaks, passed through Estancia

Governor stepped to the door of
the coach to see if he could recog

greeted by a crowd of Estancia
citizens, who heartily congratu-
lated him on his recent election.
In the crowd were Democrats
Republicans, Socialists, Progress
sives, and some who claim no po-
litics. But to all, it was our
governor without political aft
liation.
No sooner had he met and
shaken hands with the crowd
assembled, than Miss Catherine
Van Stone appeared with lunch
box which she modestly present

Good MOn6U

Melrose, N. NJ, Nov. 23-
Over $11, 900 have been paid the
Melrose farmers for broomcorn
the past few days and this
amount of che product does not
include a large amount that is
tied up here owing to the failure
of one buyer to produce his
money. He made a small pay
ment and had the corn delivered.
1t is now stocked here waiting
for him to pay the rest or else
for some buyer to take it off the
hands of the farmers who refuse
to let it go. The company has
offered to give its notes and to
leave the corn here as sesarity,
but the farmers prefer to sell.

mixed up with an engine at Duran,
with the result that he has only part
of foot left. Whalen had been rid

under the cars. The engine cut loose
from the train and ran ahead some dis
tance for water. Finding warm ash

and laid down to warm and rest. Af-
ter his chill from riding he fell asleep
quickly, and was awakened by the en-
CINE backing up, the tender passing
over his foot, stvering the toes and
fore part of the foot. He was brought
to Estancia, and local surgeons ampu-
tating the foot at the arch. Having no
means nor friends, Whalen was taken
to the county Jail, where Deputy
Sheriff Robinson is looking after him.
Whalen is fifty one years of age, and
claims Pennsylvania as his native state.

a pleasant word of greeting was
given each child in turn. After
each had had his greeting, the
children were dismissed. Sud-
denly it was noticed that Mr..
Mcdonald had disappeared. When
found, he explained that the pref
ty schoolma ans had carried him
away Judge Hudspeth didn't
like the idea of the governor TAX
ing to the young ladies so quickly,
as the Judge is yet among those
weary wanderers, who have not
committed matrimony. But then,
the ladies had no way of know
ing this.
Mr. Mcdonald need not fear but
that his friends in Estancia are
legion, One Of the old soldiers
when twitted for being present
to greet a Democratic governor,
responded, Yes, and it was my
vote that helped make him gov
ernor. Another Republican
claimed that he had voted for Mr..
Mcdonald, adding it was case

Mr.. Mcdonald did not attempt
to address on account of the cold

the property comprising the yards. Hence
cane the plan by which the main sta'oi'
was TO be the beginning OF a radgninceh'
group of buildings OF uniform architecture
which would extend over all the tracks
not only hiding them from sight out
adding to the attractiveness and usefulness
OF the whole section. All tho cross streets
from 45th up TO 5Oth most of which were
carried over the yard as narrow foot-
bridges, will become full-sized streets
while Park avenue, instead Of having
gap In the middle, will be an unbroken
boulevard.
The buildings already built or planned
for the group are the Merchants ana
Manufacturers Exchange. Spectacular
piece of construction, achieved In the
midst Of blasting and traffic. was the
rearing OF this thirteen story loft ouild-
ing on the block between 4Sth ana 4nn
streets, on Lexington avenue. The struct-
ure was built over a train movement that
scarcely ever stopped. Because of this,

Another piece of construction over live
tracks was the erection of the heating
plant. 1t was a sure-enough emergency job,
for the boilers We're installed and In oper-
alton before the walls were up. And so II
was with most Of the work that spread
all over this hustling battle-ground OF
building.
The plans also include the raising OF a
twenty story office building over the con-
courses, and the erection OF twenty
story hotel over the incoming station.
There is also tentative plan for an opera
house, new Madison Square Garden and
other notable buildings. Upon the exten-
sion Of Park avenue there will probably
be erected by private capital, some or
tho finest apartment houses in the world
There will be restrictions ON all buildings
put up in the terminal zone, and in this
way the harmony of the whole group will
be maintained.
Now, behind this artistic ideal Of city
building is a sane and hard sense COM
mercal proposition, for without some def
mite business side II would not be feast

mensely valuable, and 1t rs predicted that
the revenue from them will in time pay for
the whole capital cost of the terminal inn

but they can be leased for long term Of

big problems. The details of building Of
fees, hotels, station, etc, on the plateau
thus formed was a small matter compared
10 this, when one takes into consideration
the up-air and sub-surfacc rights that
were produced by their idea.
Under the original Reed & Stem plan
the main station was to have been high
building, containing the largest office
building in the world. AT the present
time it is a low building, but provisions
have been made In the steel for carrying
this up TO twenty stories in height, and
from the present indications this will be
done in the near future. When finished. Il
will have a low monumental building. with
a triple triumphal arch heroic In proper
tons. with a high Office building for

closing a clock face fifteen feet in diam

Inside the main station building which
will be for outgoing passengers only, VIII
be the principal waiting room, and here
comes an interesting fact. The architects
have reversed the usual station plan by
making the waiting rooms place in
which 70 wait, and nothing more, and by
putting the ticket Offices and other facil-
tiles out in the concourses. The main
waiting room will be go feet long, 50 feet
wide and 80 feet high, simple in detail. The
idea behind this simplicity is best eX-
