NEW ROCK ISLAND CONNECTION
Work on San Diego & Arizona Line
to Shorten Line to Coast

San Bernardino, Cal, Dec. s.
Work is to be resumed at once on
the construction of the San Diego &
Arizona railroad, and 1000 men are
being employed by the company to
push the construction of the line.
The work has been conducted in an
Indifferent way for several months
owing to the hostilities on the Dor
der section, but 1t is understood that
the line will be rushed from now on
to link San Diego with Yuma by
direct route of 100 miles.
The differences between the Spreck-
els interests and the Southern Pacific,
which have also delayed operations
for several months, are said to be at
end. The Spreckels people have
given notice at Ensenada of intention
to ask for permission to transfer con-
cessions in Lower California to the
Southern Pacific.
II has been a foregone conclusion
that the San Diego & Arizona line

FASTEST ENGINE WAS NO. sss.
Famous New York Central Locomotive
Made 112 Miles an Hour.

Many readers have requested us to
publish photograph of the New York
CentraPs famous engine, 999, whose rec
ord of liz miles an hour, made May II,
1898, has never been beaten-that is in
run over a regular division and on
regular schedul IS Popular Me-
chanics. Only once since, in July, 1904,
has the 999's record been beaten, but
that was in AS mile dash on the Pitts
burg & Reading. This run was made
in two minutes and thirty seconds,
which is equal to 1920 miles an hour.
AS the 999 made her record between
Rochester and Buffalo, while regularly
pulling the Empire State Express. and
made it more than once, she wears the
laurel crown for speed. The famous en-
CINE was built at the New York Central
shops, West Albany, N. Y. The order
was given for an engine that would
travel faster than anything under
steam had ever travelled. Charles H
Hogan was the engineer who handled
her when she pulled the Empire State
Express. With the dvent of more
powerful locomotives, the 999 was rele-
gated to the fast milk service between
Syracuse and Ola J-ton, New York.

THE STATEWIDE PRIMARY.

Since the Presidential race has been
settled in Mr.. Roosevelt's favor. SO far
as West Virginia Is concerned. there
has been n noticeable sag In the poll
teal wires OF the State. The only ap-
parent interest shown in the fight
seems to be between the three gov
errors and in many sections OF the
State this interest is very slight.
The three candidates all hail from
the Southern section OF the State, with
the exception OF Mr.. Swisher, who
might properly be considered from Ma.
rion county, and this fact has added to
the apathy OF the contest. There Is to
be no contest for most OF the other
State offices. since only one candidate
has qualified for most OF them and
many OF these have shown wonderful
lack OF interest In their own cam.
paigns, have made practically no can.
vass. OF the State and many OF then
so far have neglected TO even publish
the announcements OF the fact thai
they are candidates to be voted for or
the fourth Of June.
The entry OF Hon. Howard Suther
land. of Elkins. into the race for Con.
gressman-atLarge, against Chas F.
Teter, OF Philippi, promises to assist
to great extent. in working UP an In,
terest among the voters and will no
doubt be the means OF getting out n
larger vote than would have otherwise
responded to the primary call. since
this is the first time the voters have
had an opportunity to select candi'
date for Congress, who would repre-
sent the entire State and not particu.
lar district. Still. with this added in.
terest in the fight, the percentage OF
the voters participating In the primary
nominations will be comparatively
SMALL and it is not at all improbable
that candidate for Governor will be
nominated with 10 per cent. OF the Re
publican vote OF the State.
The primary method OF nominating
candidates for both large and small
offices Is a popular one. and one that
has no doubt come to stay, but the
proper way to conduct these elections
In the opinion OF the West Virginian,
Is under State primary election law.
with proper legal safeguards, and
the nominations for all parties
may be made on the same day, thus
preventing members OF the several
political parties from participating in
selecting candidates for other parties,
to which they do not belong.
Another objection to the plan under
which the present Statewide primary
Is to be conducted is that the expense
must be born by assessments levied
upon the several candidates, which,
under the corrupt practices law, pre-.
vents them from expanding money for
the legitimate expenses in properly
placing their announcements before
the people. The assessment, alone,
takes up the major portion OF the
amount n candidate may expend under
the law.
The expense OF a general Statewide
primary election. in which all parties
might participate. should be paid by
the State.
