tiOning plans which were being made
some IS years ago to build the T. &

some OF the early history Of railroad
building into Fl Paso," said J. j.
Jones. The 7. & P. was built from
the east into Sierra Blanca and il was
thought that IL could operate trains
over the G. H & S. A. in January
1882. That line had a roadbed con-
structed the greater part Of the way
from Sierra Blanca to Fl Paso. before
the G. f. d S A. although this was
abandoned, and fl was decided TO use
the latter line. John Scott, the build
er Of the T. e. P, had some extended
ideas. and among others was the idea
of continuing this road to the Pacific
coast. although the plan never was
cOlsummated, and Fl PasO still re-
mains the western terminus OF this
road Some OF the new Corners in II
paso may not know that the first
railway TO reach the city was the
Southern Pacific from the west, and
the first train arrived here at noon
on Nay u, 1881. The next line TO
reach here was the Santa Fe, that be-
ing built into the city on June II.

struction from El Paso eastward, ana
from San Antonio westward, the

Many Saloons Plan
10 Close to Save
August License Fee
New York Will Be Nearer
Dry Than Before; Court
Decision Against PTS
Beer Given as Reason

New York will come nearer seeing
actual death gasps Of the Demon Rum
tomorrow and Tuesday than at any
time since the passage of the wartime
prohibition measure.
1t is expected that the largest num-
Der of saloons that ever closed their
doors at any time in the history Of the
city will apply for refund Of their Ii
cense fees for the month Of August.
1t was estimated yesterday that At
least 200 bars, including saloons,
liquor stores and hotels, would turn in
their Licenses to save tho fees paid to
do business during that month.
The court decision against 2.75 per
cent beer was given yesterday as the
most serious blow to the LIQUOR inter
ests. The fact that the average drinker
prefers to purchase his soft drink at a
soda fountain rather than at a bar
also cuts in materially on the revenue
of the saloons remaining OPEN Still
another feature is the fact that saloon
keepers resent the demand that they
pay high licenses to sell only soft
drinks
Many of the city's saloons remained
open during July to try out the ex-
pertinent of selling soft drinks and
2.75 per cent beer. Their incomes, &C
cording to their owners, were SO Sc
rlously curtailed as to make continued
business Improbable. In many in
stances saloons are being sublet at
lower rentals than were paid by their
original tenants, thus cutting down
rents Tor business purposes
Saloonkeepers who had gone deeply
into the situation predicted that an
immediate effect Of this drop in bust
ness rentals would be felt in tho
apartment house field, with certain and
tangible benefits to renters Real cs-
tate men, however, appeared not to
share this belief
Liquor interests took the strange
attitude of appearing as prose-
cutors of one of their own members
yesterday when the Association OBJ
posed to National Prohibition offered
the services Of former United States
Senator Joseph W. Bailey, Of Texas,
to aid in the prosecution Of test
case under the Eighteenth Amendment
III Rhode Island. In letter to the At
torney General Of the state the organ
ization yesterday called attention to
the need Cor Immediate court hearing
Of all the questions involved and prom
ised to give every assistance in bring
ing the test case about to be started to
the highest tribunal in the country.

To Mrs. William Hammond on her

All her life tho limits Of Gorham

for the trip, but her son was lying,
and Mrs. Hammond mortgaged her two
horses and her COW. When this bust

time and she had had no opportunity
to put on her Sunday best.

She was told that he was. Not onlv
that, but he had rallied and there wa.

heard that his mother was coming.
Then he decided to get we'll.
Mrs. Hammond cried a little right
