The New Haven R. r.
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF sAt Good Old si1ash.o

~HE New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad is an octopus
which is now in a distended and
unhealthy condition as a result of its
efforts to swallow New England and
wash it down with the ocean adjoining.
The New Haven. as i is Familiarity
known, originally ran from New York
to New Haven It was gradually ex-
tended to Boston and all other points
on the map of southern New England.
Sometimes it extended by building new
lines and sometimes by catching an old
line asleep and gObbling it. After 1t
swallowed all the railroad lines in
southern New England it reached out
and deity appropriated the trolley
lines. Then il bought the navigation
companies which competed with it
Then it reached nOrthWard and gath
cred in the Boston & Maine, which
controlled the other half of New Eng
land. By this time it had perfect
monopoly and the New England citiz-
ems who didn't like the way it ran its
trains was at perfect liberty to walk.
And just about this time the financial
doctor was called in.
The New Haven railroad is still very
sick and the doctors shake their heads
II is suffering from too much security
1t paid for all of its purchases Of COM
petitors in these securities and it now
owes about $3.50, 100000 The govern
mcnt has recently performed an opera
ton, removing the Boston & Maine, the
steamship lines and some other lncum-
brances. but no way has yet been found
of removing the money from the

BREAKING AN ENGAGEMENT.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I came to New Mexico about one
wear ago. In my home town in Kansas
I left a girl to whom I was engaged.
Since coming here 1 find I am too
young to get married How would you
advise me to break the engagement
without offending the girl or having a
.'breach of promise" suit?
Blue Eyes.
Plainly tell her that you do not think
YOU are in a position to marry her.
if age is all that bars the way to the
match. If YOU no longer care for her,
ten her that you do not believe you
could make her happy. If she is the
sort who would sue, you will be better
off defending such suit than marry
that She would sue, however.

CANTALOUPE DAY
PROVES A WINNER

Cantaloupe Day, under the auspices
of the Women's Ten Thousand Club,
held today, is proving one of the most
unique and money-earning innovations
yet conceived by the club members,
over 500 people having visited the
handsomely decorated nursery east OF
the court house and vast quantities of
luscious melons, chicken sandwiches.
lemonade and other dainties having
teen served by gracious and dainty
mattresses.
The affair was the outcome of a
donation made by w. S. Fawcett, who
willingly agreed to donate cantaloupes
for tie day. Mr. Fawcett has one
of the largest cantaloupe ranches in
the state and his wife is one of the
leaders Of the club. The club is en-
deavoring to raise funds for the con-
struction of building for it's use and
has been active for some time and ex-
poets soon to have sufficient money

at 12:45 and the crowd was bubbling
over with enthusiasm for the famous
Imperial Valley, leaving here after
luncheon at the Oregon hotel for the
North End, where they will spend
Sunday and then return to their
homes in Los Angeles.
The excursionists were greeted by
committee composed of j. Stanley
Brown and E. F. Howe, and every
attention shown the visitors was keen
ly appreciated. John ID. Reavis and
Arthur w. Hull, officials of the COM
pany, were also attentive to the well
fare of the newcomers.
The visitors came especially to see
inland, the fast-growing town in the
north of the county, but the promot-
ers of the townsite believed that it
would be of value to show the pros
pective buyers the richness of the en-
tire valley.

Rebel Steamer Sunk
In Fierce Naval Battle
Yaauis Beaten Off.

Douglas, Ariz., June 13.-But for
the timely interference of band Of
Pima Indians from the valley sur
rounding Cumuripa, Sonora, inhabi-
tants of that town propably would
lave fallen victims of Yaqui Indian
raiders during recent fighting there,
according to reports which reached
Douglas today.
With the aid of the Pimas, tradi-
tional enemies of the Yaquis, but who
ordinarily are peaceful farmers, the
.townspeople managed to drive off
their assailants after battle lasting
several days.
At one time the Yaquis held almost
half the town and fighting ragged from
roofs, windows and at short range in
the streets. Heavy losses inflicted
upon the Yaquis caused them to raze
a portion of the town before retreat
ing as well as stealing every particle
of food they could find within ra-
dius of several miles and destroying
what they were unable to carry
away.
Afser burning farm houses near the
town and carrying off number of
Mexican women, the Yaquis were said
to have retreated toward their
stronghold in the Bacate mountains.
