North Western Road.

Their trip over the new extension of
/ the Mexico North Western from san An
tonic to Cushuiriachic, gave 80 FL
Paso business men a new idea of the
immense resources Of the country this
line viii open. The Importance of the
new road in the Development Of north
ern Mexico and as a commercial bond
between Mexico and FL Paso was the
burden Of comment during the entire
trip.

Chihuahua station by governor Abram

Surprised at Rich Country.
Many Of the FL Paso party were not
familiar with the country traversed by
the Mexico North Western and were
surprised by the extent and manifest
richness OF the S2laZaT and Bu6tlllOs
ranches through which they rode. The
run to CusihUiriachiC occupied six
hours. There were reminders OF the
recent insurrection in the enthusiastic
greeting to governor Gonzales at
each station. Lined Up alongside the
track at each stop were the irregular
cavalry that made the strength Of the
MaderO forces. Cries Of Viva Madero,'
Viva Gonzales and Viva Orozco''
were pUnctuated by the lively popping
of 30-30's. One enthusiastic vaQuerO
who tried to manage a Winchester and
a fractions horse at the same time,
shot a hole through the car window
not more than three inches above c. ~
Newman's head and sprinkled broken
glass over Herman AndreaS. As the
train stopped in San Andreas, where
the first fighting of the Chihuahua
campaign occurred, it was easy to see
how a small body Of men could make
the movement Of troops by rail- prac-
tiCally impossible.
