Railroads Anticipating
Heavy Business

Railroads entering Pueblo arc look
ing for n tremendously heavy volume
of business in the near future.
within the next four or six weeks
some well posted railroad men have
of business in their line. but better
business than for years barring the
movement of war goods at tho timo
that was in vogue.
Quietly, and without any noise un-
necessary, the railway companies hero
abouts are doing many things in the
line OF improvement. and extension of
capacity is one of the most important
features of the preparation looking to
big business by spring or before.
Many of these anticipatory activities
might be mentioned but here is one
that means much:
The Rio Grandc is steam shoveling
down tho hillside close to the Garlic
bridge and n train of dump cars is
hauling tho material down the yards
toward the union station. With this
dirt the west yard Is being built up for
four additional freight tracks each
about n mile long.
The Rio Grande hauls as high as
eighty-car freight trains, but has so
far been able to handle its business
with the tracksge available. but now
there are being built trackage doubl-
ing the present capacity. the COM
pany is not doing this just for pas
time.
Other roads arc doing substantial
improvement and extension work. The

f. p. PAUL. IL: wcst Grant street, sal
at his desk yesterday afternoon in the
rear OF the Taylor Confectionery stors
at the Mesa Junction. Mrs. b. A Tay-
lor. proprietress of the candy shop Is
Pauils daughter.-with a look of re-
miniscience in his face.
PAUL was thinking of time, lonS
ago when he saw and heard Abraham
Lincoln at debate with Stephen
Douglas in Springfield. Ill. Yesterday
being the emancipator's birthday. PAUL
was reminded OF the times he had seen
Lincoln. when the greatest American
of all time was a gaunt, lanky youth.
II never saw Lincoln after he was
president. My recollection OF him Is a
young man, tall and gaunt, with high
cheek bones," said PAUL yesterday az
tcrnoon.
Eighty-thrcc years old. PAUL can tell
many interesting things concerning the
Civil war period and the period i'm
mcdiately following. PAUL was con-
nectcd with the War department dur
ing the Civil war. in the Paymastor' 4
otiice. He served in an executive clpa-
city thruout the period of the struggle
PAUL was born in Urbana, Ohio. in
1880, and was later connected with the
circuit judges office in Springfield. Ill.
where he saw Lincoln on numerous
occasions.
Because of Paulrs ncQuaintanccship
with the personality of Lincoln he was
asked yesterday to write speech to
be delivered at a combined Lincoln
and Valentino party given to the or
phans of the McClelland home in the
afternoon. Mrs. c. X. McHarg read
the speech to the orphans and Pueb-
loans who entertained.
Following is the text as written by
+. p. PAUL:
Abraham Lincoln was great and
good Americana knoa. for one OF the
pleasures of my life is that j saw him
and heard him speak. He lived at the
state capital, Springfield. Illinois, fifty
miles from my home. While / was not
ye. a voter / heard him speak twice
in his campaign against Stephen A.
Douglas in 1858, for the United States
senate. This was tho first campaign OF
Republicans against Democrats. Prior
to that time. you remember. 1t was
Wings and Democrats, and they had
agreed upon tho question OF slavery.
Lincoln's great declaration was this
nation cannot exist half slave and half
free. 1t reused the whole country.
It was discussed by Douglas and
Lincoln in several joint debatcs-and
by each separately in many places.
1 heard Lincoln in my own home and
in an adjoining town. 1t seemed as
IL everybody in the whole country at
tended.
At cighty-thrce. and over sixty years
ago. / do not recall much that was
said. / remember that Douglas was
the more agreeable speaker. He was
a great orator. But, every sentence
of Lincoln's seemed to convince. Lin
coin was defeated for tho United States
senate. yet he had gained such noto-
riety that in 1860 he was elected presi-
dent. This resulted in the four years
Civil war the end of which preyented
the dissolution of the Union and gave
freedom to all the slaves.
never saw Lincoln after he was
president. I saw him when he was
young and tall and gaunt-lookinr, with
very high check bones.
