NeD Railroad Has
 Bright Prospects

H. G. Palmer, a promi-
 nent railroad builder of Chi
 cago, arrived in Holbrook
 this morning, and will start
 today upon a tour of inspec- tion of the proposed route of the Navajo Southern rail road, which leads into the mountains south of Hol- brook. He will be accom- panied by w. H. Clark. se- cretary of the company, who interested MT. Palmer's com pany in the proposition.
 The Navajo Southern rail road was surveyed more than two years ago, and rights of-way were secured, the local people interested being MT. Clark and c. E. Perkins, now county engineer. Ow- ing to the financial depres- sion that existed at that time, and for a considerable period afterwards, it was imposs- ible to get capitalists inter ested. Conditions are now greatly changed and men with capital are now hunt ing investments.
 MT. Palmer's company re- gently finished building a. railroad in Illinois, and if he can be convinced that the proposition here is a good one, there is a good prospect that his company will under take the construction of the road.
 The new road will tap a vast area of pine timber and it is estimated that enough lumber can be secured to furnish good business for the road 20 years. While it is not known definitely that the Santa Fe company is backing the proposition to build the new road, it is generally be- lieved that the Santa Fe stands ready to take over and operate the road when built.
 No greater boon could come to Holbrook than the building of this road, and MT. Clark and his associates will be entitled to great should they succeed in putting through the enter price.
