The interstate commerce commission will hear in Phoenix, February 9. at 10 o'clock q, m., at the United States court rooms, the complaint. of the Arizona corporation commission against the various railroads operating from the east into Arizona. in the matter of through passenger rates. The rates from points in eastern states to points in Arizona are materially higher than from like points in the east to points in the mountain states to the north of Phoenix, mile for mile. The rates from the Missouri river, Mississippi river. Chicago and other eastern points for central and western Arizona are nearly if not quite as high as to points in California. three to six hundred miles further distant.
 The Arizona commission believed that an unjust discrimination has been imposed against Arizona in passenger rates, and at this hearing before the interstate commerce commission the matter will he thoroughly presented.

CHANGED OVER +. +. 4 s. w

FL Paso, July lS-As IA war meas
ure of economy, special arrangements
will be made between the Southern
Pacific and the FL Paso a. Southwest
ern 'ailroads, whereby the two roads
will handle one another's passenger
trains. A meeting is now in session
between S. =. and +. p. 4 S. W. Off
cials at Del Monte, Cal, arranging the
details of the proposed consolidation
of trains. Garnett King, general pas
senger agent of the Il. p. & S. W. at

Kansas City, Mo-, are already in Del
Monte with the Southern Pacific Off
cials and T. NJ. Schumacher, president

ing.
1t has been proposed that the f. p.

arrangements. These trains have been
operated between FL Paso and Tucum-
carl, N. NJ.
In addition to this the eastbound

be operated over the Southern Pa

CITY WILL PUT DOWN A
NEW WELL IN NEAR FUTURE

Tucumcari is to have another big
well. Three are now in use and are
sufficient to supply the demand whi.h
has been quite heavy during TIE re-
cent hot weather, but to play safe and
prepare for "rainy day" Supt. Fox
by order of the city council is placing
an order for material to put down an
other well. This new well will be 10
inches in diameter and about $50 feet
deep TO insure plenty of water. 1t is
expected to secure well that will
furnish 100 gallons per minute.
II per chance the other wells would
go bad this new well would save the
day and if the consumption Of water
increases next year like it has dur
ing the past year it will be needed 70
supply the demand. The railroad has
a number of wells that furnish more
than 100 gallons per minute, but they
are digging more. This water is ex-
celent for drinking purposes as well as
for all use connected with the rail
road. This fact alone makes it safe
bet that Tucumcari it the coming city
of the eastern part of New Mexico.
The digging or drilling will COM
mence as soon as the proper rig can
be secured to do the work.

FIRE DESTROYS BIG
BARNS AND OTHER
PROPERTY At DAIRY

Fire destroyed the large COW barn,
milk house, gas engines, milking ma
chine, silo and other property and
machinery at the Hamilton dairy near
Blue Holes Tuesday shortly after din
ner, causing total loss OF between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Fire had been started in the stove
in the milk house to heat water with
which to wash bottles. The help had
gone to dinner. When the fire was
discovered it was under good head
way. Mr.. Hamilton telephoned to Tu-
cumcari for assistance but not until
the above damage had been done was
it stopped. The ice cream outfit was
also totally destroyed.
The hydrant with hose attachments
were in the milk house and nothing
could stop the fury as it burned the
large wooden structures.
Mr.. Hamilton carried no insurance
but intends to rebuild as soon as he
can. He will possibly install his ice
cream apparatus somewhere in Tu-
cumcari so it will be handler to the
trade.

bAL|NG WIRE COMES
NEAR CAUSING ElEC.
TROCUT|ON Of MAN

I. A. Fuhrman, general lineman for
the Electric .-.ght Co., came near be-
ing killed while attempting to take n
baling wire off the line, corner Cen
ter and Adams street Tuesday even
ing. The voltage at that point is
23OO and it only takes 100 to kill.
So Mr.. Fuhrman must not have re-
ceived the full shock. AS it was he
fell from the pole and was picked up
unconscious by neighbors who sum
moned medical aid He was hurried
to the Physicians Hospital and today
was able to sit up in bed.
Mr.. Thurman sustained bad burns
on his right hand and the thumb is
IA solid blister. His left arm and hand
were badly burned the cash nearly
going to the large artering between
the wrist and elbow. He does not
know exactly how and what caused
the accident.
Inc street lights in the east part
of town have been out for several days
but the trouble was not located until
Tuesday when Thurman removed three
wires from the electric light wires,
presumably thrown there by boys who
did not know their danger. He saw
the baling wire on the street wire and
climbed up the pole to remove it. It
is supposed the recent damp weather
had caused "short" by burning off
the insulation letting the baling wire
partially connect with the main line.
When Thurman reached the top of the
pole he caught hold of the baling wire
to remove same and that is the last
he remembers. The other end evident
ly struck his other arm and connected
him with the circuit. He fell to the
ground lighting on his head and right
shoulder. This shock is said to have
brought him out" of the electrical
shock and perhaps saved his life. He
was limp as n rag and no bones were
broken. In fact this is claimed as a
miraculous escape from death.
Mother and fathers should caution
their boys to not throw wires on the
electric light wires because it is not
'iliy w bul w lllt
general public. If that baling wire
had been connected with the guy-wire
and a person had touched the guy
wire, grounding the current through
the person, it might cause instant
death. 1t has been known to kill cat
tie and children, so it is better to be
safe than sorry.
A fews weeks ago piece of baling
wire thrown over the electric light
wire caused the company an expense
of more than $50. IL the wire would
accidentally connect with the tele-
phone wires there is no telling who it
would kill. Mr.. Thurman will soon
recover it is hoped and this accident
should be lesson to all. Do not
throw wires or metal instruments so
they will connect with the electrical
wires.
