Carlsbad, N. NJ, March 25EThe
new round house OF the Santa Fe
railway at the Carlsbad terminal was
totally destroyed by fire about mid
night last night. The fire started mys'
teriously and spread quickly to every
part of the building. The heat was
SO intense that the three locomotives
in the house could not be moved,
though the fire was discovered within
a few Minutes. This round house was
recently completed and had only been
in use a few days. No estimate of
the loss is given out, though 1t Is
known that the loss is heavy both on
the building and locomotives. Among
the engines was No. 1913. n Of the
heaviest freight engines in use in this
section.
Many sales of steers are reported on
the Pecos slope and shipping will be-

railway is already getting stock cars
into this section and expects to move
stock with dispatch. Among the sales
reported is 400 two-year-old steers, all

$50 acres are In and near Lakewood,

tomatoes are grown at Dayton, and
marketed by the cannery there. The
point is here: With a factory able to

output of tomatoes, and with whole
salers from Dallas to FL Paso, and
from Albuquerque to Amarillo, wiring
for IL times as many tomatoes as the
Lakewood country can possibly sup
ply, owners of land under water here
abouts should raise many more acres
of tomatoes. They should do this
this year.

Some of 1t is already under water;
most OF 1t could be put under the ar

pense. Viewed purely as q business
proposition, would ii not be money in
the pockets Of these nonresident land
owners to arrange to put in a big to-
mat0 crop this year? Thus they might
earn interest ON their Investment!
