GOOD NEWS
ABOUT N. NJ. c.

The Santa Fe New Mexican of
last Friday printed the following
relative to the New Mexico Gen.
trail:
A development, building and
operating program calling for an
initial expenditure of between
100000 and $3.50, 900 has been
submitted for approval by coun-
sci for the bondholders of the
New Mexico Central, the Fed
eral Export Corporation of New
York, to w. G. McAdoo, director
general of railroads and by him
referred to Edward Chambers,
member of the railroad board in
charge of traffic. Upon a fav-
orable report on the program
construction work will start i'm
mediately, tentative arrange
ments with contractors having
been made. Meanwhile, Attor-
ney Francis C, Wilson of this
city has been authorized and has
let a contract for 100000 ties, to
cost something like $65, 900, to
Cleofes Romero of Estancia. Re-
duction of the Clark hill grade
south of Kennedy will be one of
the first steps taken.
1t is pointed out to the u. S.
railroad director that the Ken
nedy-Willard line will shorten
the haul for a big freight ton
mage 85 miles and otherwise as
sist in relieving congestion of
traffic and that any sum of
money necessary will be spent
rehabilitating the road, giving it
no grade over one per cent. This
definitely does away with rumors
that the road is to be wrecked
and a favorable decision from
Mr.. Chambers means the imme-
diate expenditure of large sum
of money in New Mexico and a
tremendous benefit to Santa Fe
and the Estancia valley.
Torrance county has remitted
a considerable amount of taxes
which sum will be put into the
improvement Of the road and
similar proposition will be made
to Santa Fe county.
New ties and bridge timbers
will be put in, the grade and
right of way overhauled and the
road put in first class shape.
The proposition put up to Mr..
McAdoo was as follows:
The New Mexico Central
Railroad company is the owner
of 116.7 miles of railroad ex-
tending south from Santa Fe, the
capital of the state, to Torrance,
in Torrance county, to a junction
with the Ell Paso and South
western system. At Kennedy,
22 miles south of Santa Fe, the
road crosses the main line of the
Santa Fe system, and at Willard,
a distance of So miles from Ken
nedy, it crosses what is known
as the Belen cutoff of the Santa
Fe system. The distance from
Willard to Torrance is sc miles.
"This road has been in the
hands of receivers since January
10, 1910. and practically nc
money has been expended in
maintenance for several years.

bushels out Ct the 100000, 900.
They must do it for the most part
by using corn meal, potatoes and
other substitutes.
The last crop of corn was SIG,
$4,000 bushels more than that of
1916. There is plenty of corn to
meet the demands of the world
but, unfortunately, corn is liable
to- spoil when shipped long dis
tances and Europe knows little
about grinding it and preparing it
as food, Food experts are agreed
that it is far better that America
should take up the task of making
use of the surplus and give the AL

COMMUTERS SERIOUS
LY HANDICAPPED
College Men Urged To Live In
Newark

A serious proposition is facing
large number of Delaware Col
lege students owing to the recent
curtailment Of train service. This
is also felt by various citizens of
the town who have frequent bus
mess in Wilmington and other
nearby cities. In many cases, men
who commute from Wilmington to
Delaware College will not be able
to get to the first hour classes, and
often owing to the lateness of eX-
listing trains they miss even the
second and third hours.
President Mitchell in speaking
of the situation this morning, en-
phasized the fact that it was prac-
tically impossible for the student
who commutes, to do full justice
to his work at college. He also said
that he did not dare to expect re-
lief as the seriousness of the prob
lem which cCnfronts the national
government today would not allow
the government to relax one iota
from the vigorous schedule for
forwarding freight and supply
trains in place of the passenger
trains.
He suggested that the students
make arrangements TO remain in
Newark, for the rest of the term
or at least for two or three weeks,
after which period there may be
some relief from the situation.
Many people from the town who
have business in Wilmington have
moved there temporarily until
some better arrangement is made.

his cottage or as much land as he

take to the life boats, the almost
daily alarms,-and then, the other

saving the fuel? Here in Newark

Talking of churches reminds me
Of something. Why not close up
all the churches but one, and have
one service for all in each church
alternately? That would mean the
saving of a large quantity of coal
Every individual can think ur

espionage act.
The indictments followed Forrest Is
arrest several weeks ago when he was
accused of substituting inferior steel on
government sub-contracts which he held,
while Mues it was claimed, passed the
inferior material. The grand jury Is
indictment is based on the case of a
ship building for the emergency fleet

and not only is the substitution alleged,
but it is charged that it was done with
wilful intent to injure and endanger

Germany is finally to be beaten. The
process of holding and perhaps hurting
back the Germans now will draw heavi-

France. The stuggle OF meeting this
offensive, Lloyd George suggested, may

possibility of new offensive in Italy
or elsewhere on the west front.
