RAILROAD MEN IN TOWN A. B. McGafey, Head of the neLD Holbrook Southern Railroad, and R. H. Futile, Suberintend- emf of Santa Fe Coast Lines, spent Thursday in Holbrook.

Construction on the new rail- road south from Holbrook will be commenced early in October. Such is the dictum of A. B. Me Gaffey. head of the enterprise, who spent yesterday in Holbrook in consultation with prominent business men of the town.
 MT. McGaffey was met here by Superintendent Futile of the Santa Fe, and the two railroad men discussed railroad matters with prominent citizens of Hol- brook. The questions of connec- tion with the Santa Fe. rights of-way into town, and a site for a large tie-treating plant were among the most important things discussed.
 Connections with the Santa Fe, including depot facilities. were satisfactorily arranged. Rights-of-way into town, which will be through private property. and a site for a tie treading plant, will have to be arranged for by the business men and other citizens. In the opinion of several prominent men, who are Tn close touch with the situa- tion, these can be secured.
 The McGaffey company is not asking for any cash bonus. All that IS asked is a right-of-way into town from the south, and a tract of land on the south side of the river upon which to place a plant for treating railroad ties. This plant will employ about 200 men and when a similar plant was built in Albuquerque that city donated a site and gave the company a bonus of $60, 000 in cash. That Holbrook will donate site for the tie plant. which will mean an increase of at least 50 per cent in her popuI- alton, we think there is no doubt.
 The new road will leave the Santa Fe right-of-way about 150 feet west of the Mexican school house; it will cross the river abuot 450 feet west of the bridge, and will then swing to- wards the south. There are no sharp curves nor heavy grades on the route, and construction will not be expensive. according to the figures of MT. Farwel, chief engineer of the road.
 Attorney w. E. Ferguson has been employed as local counsel for the road and he informed the News thIs morning that he will at once start upon the work of securing rights of-way.
