Nineteen Extra No. 3's

Travel from the east to the west will be unusually heavy over the Santa Fe railroad dur ing this month. According to the advance schedule received by local railroad men, there will be nineteen extra No. 3's during January. The extra limited trains, which will be used ex- clusively for high class travel, will consist of Raymond and Whitcomb specials and extra sections of the regular limited to accommodate the heavy traf- fic. In addition to the special trains, traffic is already heavy on the regular westbound pas senger trains and is expected to continue so during the next thirty days or more. A num- Der of private cars are booked to pass through the city, hooked on to the various passenger trains.
 The war scare in Old Mexico this year has diverted many travellers to the Pacific coast, most of whom will go to the California resorts. People in the east are naturally deslrous of going to a milder climate at this time of the year. Florida and the South, of course, attract many. but the claims of Califor- mia as a winter resort are being pressed harder this year than ever before, and the numerous publicity campaigns are bring ing big results. - Albuquerque Journal.

Epworth Herald Day at
 Winslow, Arizona

A report of "Epworth Herald Day., of the Epworth League last Sunday night, of the Metho- dist church, prepared by Miss Mary Lee. to be sent to Chicago headquarters of the Epworth League, at the request of the national officers of the league:
 Though we cannot say that We are Seven, we must admit we are but fifteen. Of this fifteen many are leaguers by adoption, and yet no less loyal from this condition. We were aroused by this loyalty to ask that Winslow be represented. For the Herald Service our church was decorated with Q view toward carrying out the color scheme of "red and wh1te." Festoons and notices brightened the room. In this connection 1 must mention a novel and unexpected feature of the evenings service. Two In- dians dropped in and seemed to enjoy the program. The novelty of the situation was increased by the fact that one Indian sat in blissful ignorance of the pro- priety of removing his hat. The pastors wife had a skilfully ar ranged program, interspersed with music. From the common dations gwen by the cabinet members, who by the way are from several different denomina tions, these thoughts showed up prominently: The Harald is a guide for study; it cultivates a taste for sound reading; it en- encourages enthusiasm and com passion; 1t contains food for Christian growth; it gives effiei- ency for service and service is the keynote to Christian living.
 The pastor clinched these thoughts by an exhortation in the sermon which followed the League Service, fourteen subscrip- tions were taken. Though our lot is cast upon "The Great American Desert" though we have not reached the butterfly stage of perfection, please do not think of us as existing in the pu
 pa state. Think of us as larvae feeding on the things which seem to us to be altogether pure, true and lovely. Uuder these heads we rank the Epworth Herald"

Studying in the Open Air

Itis becoming something of a fad throughout the country to have open air schools. Washing ton has fallen in line and has es- lblished a school of this charac- tr where the children, with wIrm clothing and blankets: in which to wrap up their feet, are given instruction with the win !dows open wide and no artificial heat to vitiate the air. The en- rollment i'll this test school is thirty, and when a spell of real weather came with a heavy fall of snow and a big drop in tenn perature only four of the children remained away. On this partic ular occasion the windows were closed to keep out the snow. but the temperature was cool, and the children were told that Il they would report to the teacher when they were chilly they would be permitted to go home At 1 o'clock, when they were dis missed for the day, not one O them had asked to be excused This experiment is in the interest of delicate children predisposeG perhaps to various pulmonary complaints.

MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGES

~ AOI N-ctlliS lNNOIPtS lIlAlOdS ed last week after Tuesday, and 1 the proportion of good weight fed steers was larger resulting in declines the last few days of the week, which wiped out the gains the first two days Butcher stuff held up better than steers, and stockers and feeders remain ed firm. Today the run is liberal here, 14,OOO, and heavy at Chi cago. with lower prices on the card from all the markets. De- cline here 10 cents on steers, steady to 10 lower on COWS, steady on stockers and feeders. A large share of the stuff coming is nine to 12O day fed, and the same is making money for the feeder as a rule, while the long fed steers are selling only little above the others and could have been cashed several months ago for more money than they are now bringing. Bulk of the steers sell at .$5.5O to $6. 25, with top steers today at $65n; nothing of merit below $5 .25. Butcher stuff is showing more quality than any time before this winter due to the longer feeds, and prices look pretty high, decent cows selling at $4 to $525, heif CTS SAYS to $5.75, tops around $6, bulls $4 to $5.15. Top vea1s bring $S. heavy calves $6. Demand for stockers and feeders is strong and prices are highest in several weeks. Buyers now get the advantage of having had | the cattle put half through the winter, a considerable item on stock cattle Stock steers sell at $4 to $5 40, feeders $5 to $5.7O, stock COWS and heifers $3 to S4.5O, Quarantine supplies have picked up a little, consisting in most part of medium class steers at $5 30 to $5.75. Offerings of quarantines today 43 cars, qual ity better than last week, most of the steers at $5.50 to $5. S5, one load of the Johnson vearlings from Chickasha at $6.15. Re ceipts from Colorado and the West have been very small i'll the last week.
 The hog market was on the up grade last week, and closed a quarter higher for the week. Run todayis II ,O0O head, extra large for Monday, and most sales were 5to 10 lower. The market closed little stronger today and last sales were at the top, $79712
 Three fourtns of the hogs today sold at $7.9O, not many below this figure, and dealers say the average quality is running very high. Average value of the hogs for last week was $7.92, average same week last year $S.39 Shippers are buying about 15 per cent of the hogs now, whicl is a fairly good quota for that ', channel and sufficient to keep th' : market on a fairly keen edge. Z Sheep and lambs wobbled z little last week. but finally closed 15 to 25 higher for the week Run today is 15, ,OOO head, mar 6 ket steady on sheep, about 1( . lower on lambs.

night he wrote to Garrick. "Sir, the

play tonight"
At first sight this seems peculiar con-

TO see who is to be his opponent there
Gosline seems to be the most likely
TO be the other contender in the final
round, although Perrin and he are
very closely matched, and then again
it is not certain at all that Perrin, If
he disposes of Burgh, can put Mar
shall out of the running. 1t is hoped,
however, to have the m'ooted question
settled by the end of the week in order
that some definite arrangements can
be made to meet the Outing club in

cording to the drawings, will meet

ers, Roy and Sewall, are slated TO
fight it out between themselves, the
winner to meet the loser of the Perrin

tender for second place in the tourna
