FREiHeT TERMINAL IS FOUND
 NECESSARY AT BOWIE

BOWIE. Ariz., Jan. 21-Bulletins posted in the Southern Pacific offices here yesterday, announced the estab- lishment of freight terminal at Bowie. The creation of a freight division here was caused partly by heavy freight traffic and partly on ac- of the long haul from Lordsburg to Tucson Twelve train crews will be put in service here immediately and more added later. At present the town is suffering from a house famine, and many new dwellings will have to be erected to accommodate railroad men and others who will move their families here. An approximate in crease in population of five hundred is estimated on account of the estab- lishment of the freight terminal at this point, and many more families will come in later as the development iD agricultural lands in the Bowie val ley increases. Land valhes are in creasing rapidly here and both the town and surrounding country have a bright future.
 A number of mining propositions are being developed near Bowie and the indications point toward much ac- tivity along that line.
