SANTA FEE WILL BUILD
 NEW DEPOT SOON

While no official statement has been given out regarding the building of the new Santa Fe depot it is generally believed that work on the building will start at no very distant date. Plans for the building which is to be 50x2O0 feet. have been submitted to the general superintendent for his approval, and local contract ors have received letters asking for bids on same. Besides erect ing a new depot here the Santa Fe contemplates making various other improvements. The house track is to be extended 15OO feet west, the wool platform IS to be lowered and moved further west on the north side of the track and the section house will also be moved further west and on the opposite side of the track from it's present location.
 It is quite definitely understood that the Standard Oil company will locate their distributing tanks here. The ground upon which they are to be erected it is sad, has been decided upon and negotiations for same enter ed into. The construction of several dwelling houses, a new school house, the big warehouse for the A. c. M. l.. combined with the above mentioned build ings. give promise of making this a banner year for growing Holbrook, and recalls to mind the oft repeated words of Judge Sapp and veriies his strong faith in Holbrook's future, It will pay you to keep your good eye on Holbrook. As a commercial center she heads the list and her must increase accord ingly.
 And there is the electric light and power plant and the build ing of the Navajo Southern Rail- way. both of which are as cer- tain of coming as the day of doom, not some time in the dim future. but soon. The men who are promoting this enterprise know no such word as failure.

Diaz Would Restore Peace

Felix Diaz, who helped Huerta overthrow Madero and later fled from Mexico under the protec- ton of the United States. re- turned to Washington, March II, with a party of Mexicans and Americans and prepared to issue Ia statement of his purposes later in the day.
 From statements made to the senate foreign relations commit tee last week by Pedro Del ViIlar, who accompanied Diaz. it is be- lieved to be the purpose of the Diaz faction to restore peace in Mexico by a plan which will not recognize either Huerta, Carran- ga or Villa.
 Certain senators said that san ction had been asked for a coun- ter-revolutionary movement. Members of the Daiz party de- med that they wished the aid of the United States in an armed revolution.
 It was said that Daiz met Sen ators Root and Fall last week and explained his purposes. Acting Chairman Shivelv said that the Mexicans had given the foreign relations committee interesting reformation, but no sanction had been given to any revolutionary movement. k
