ROAD MAY EXTEND
 AS FAR AS PHOENIX
Fl PaSo ana Southwestern win Go to Tucson and
 Farther West
Lnonslas lnlernatIonal.l ]


 There is no longer any doubt about the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad being extended to Tucson. aud it is believed that this line will rot tarry long with Tucson as its western terminus. bus Wfll push on to Florence and Phoenix It was learned yesterday that the south western engineers had completed their survey for the terminal grounds at Tucson and are now starting west with Che survey from that city.
 N. Bergen. inc right-of-way pur chasing agent of the Southwestern was in Douglas this morhing on his way to Tucson, where he will begin the negotiations with owners of land which will be required for the ex tension of the road from Fairbanks to Tucson. The city of Tucson has arranged for all the right-of-way re quired in the city, but for a eorsid- erable distance this side of that city The lana |io sAli ttihfAA N4f -ANSN.''7----' ing a deal with individuals for the right to build the line through their possessions. Mir Bergen stated that already several purchases have been made this side Of Tucson. and also one or two purchase have been made of right-of-way required for the continuance of the road west from that city
 Mr. Bergen stated that he was nor informed as 10 when construction work was to start on the western extension of the Southwestern sya teln, but said that he expected no such rush was witnessed when it was decided to build the Courtland branch of the Southwestern On that line the grading was started before single right-of-way was secured, and for this reason many complications were encountered in securing deeds for the right-of-way from several of the ranchers, who were inclined to be unreasonable in their demands.
 Will Help Douglas Much.
 Today one of the conductors of tho Southwestern pointed to the benefits which Douglas will receive from the extension of the Southwestern west of Benson. He said:
 Tt is pretty sure that when the Southwestern reaches Tucson the business of the Rock Island will come over the Southwestern to Tue son instead of being delivered to the Southern Paciiic at Fl Paso as now. This will mean that two of the four , passenger trains now running be- tween Fl Paso and Tucson over the Southern Pacific will come over the Southwestern. The running Of these trains over tine Southwestern will bring Douglas into much greater prominence for the reason that it is the first important point on the line west of Fl Paso and the only one be- t. cen Fl Paso and Tucson. To my mind this extension will mean more than that to Douglsa. as the new line will run something like four miles south of Benson and this, take it. will necessitate the daily service on the line between Douglas and Co chise, and this would be something much desired, as a daily train up the valley will bring much more trade to Douglas than is now coming with a train only twice a week."

usually worked from boats which carry the nets so

A Bird's-Eye View.

The Sea of Galilee Is only six miles at its widest
from to west, and from where the Jordan flows
in at the north to the place where it emptes out at
the south the distance is a scant thirteen miles The
lies in the depression of the Jordan valley the
river forming a winding canal 200 miles long, which
connects It with the Dead sea at the south. The
descent to the Dead is coo feet, and the
