NEW RAILROAD
PROPOSED
Arizonaand New Mexico Road
May Build from Duncan.
FIFTY THOUSAND BONUS
Must Be Put Up By El Paso But the
Indications Are That It Would
Be Forthcoming If Results Were
Assured.
SI Paeo is making preparations for
tbe a cquisition of a new railroad. En
thusiasm and eartnestness were decid
edly in evidence yesterday afternoon
at tbe meeting' of business men of 1
Paso which was held In the rooms of
the El Paso club and which had been
called for the purpose of furthering ar
rangements by which a bonus is to be
raised and given the Arizona and New
Mexico railroad in case they will guar
an tee to extend their line from Dun
can New Mexico to this city.
S. H. Buchanan who has been a
prime mover in tbe work of interest
ing El Paso business men in the
scheme talked in an interesting man-
ner of the possibilities of the proposed
road and did much to arouse enthus
iasm on the enbjeot. He said that this
city at present supplied only about
five per cent of the trade In the rich
mining districts through which tbe
road is to run. He eald that the South-
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe roads
used freight rates which discriminat-
ed against this city in favor of north-
ern and eastern points and he illustrat-
es tbe fact by giving data which
bowed that tbe rate from St. Louis
to these points was almost three times
as low in proportion to tbe mileage
a the rate from 1 Paso. He also
aid that the .freight paid by these
places to tbe two roads mentioned In
one year would suffice to build the
road.
According to the plans which are
hoped by the gentlemen interested to
be put into effect the present line of
tbe Arizona and New Mexico railroad
whioh is of a narrow guage will be
made one of standard guage and the
line extended to this city.
Superintendent H. J. Simmons of
the Arizona and New Mexico road was
present at the meeting and gave his
views on tbe subject. He said that
were a bonus raised of as much aa $50-
000 he was almost absolutely certain
that his road would be willing to ac
cept the proposition of the men pre
sent at the meeting.
U. S. Stewart wished to know what
guarantee after completing the line and
arranging suitable freight rates which
would give this city entry into the ter-
ritory under consideration the Arizona
and New Mexico road would give that
they would not sell out their road to
the Southern PaclGo thus reestablish-
ing the exhorbltant freight rates now
in existence.
Mr. Simmons arswering for his road
aid that at present they were making
aaoney and that when the road were
completed their revenues would be
more than doubled so that under
those circumstances it would not be an
act of policy on the part of the owners
of tbe road even though they wished
to to beccme separated from the road.
He also eald that bis road had already
had an offer from tbe Southern Pacific
company for the purchase of their
road and that the proposition had been
decline dand that in his opinion future
offers would be declined in the eame
manner.
Mr. Buchanan said that as there
was limitless mining property at tbe
very threshold of this city and that all
that was needed were just freight
rates it would be an easy matter to
make of this city one of the greatest
steel and Iron manufacturing centers
of the west. He argued that labor
could be obtained in this city as cheap-
ly as in any other city in tbe United
States and that a plant of that eort
could be constructed and operated here
most profitably in case we 'could get
tqu itable freight rates.
No definite action was taken at the
meeting as to bow much each man pre-
sent would subscribe towards the con-
traction of the road but Mr. Sim-
mons was given to understand that the
$30000 bonus would be raised by citi-
lens of this city. The bonus will be
given In terminal facilities and cash.
Mr. Slmmona has once beforeisub-
mitted a proposition of this kind to the
directors of bis road who reside in
Scotland and in answer to it they re-
quested of him to gather what data he
could as to tbe cost of the construction
of the road and as to what action this
elty would take in regard to a bonus.
He promised to submit immediately
the offer made yesterday to them and
he felt that as things had taken some
definite shape the directors of his com
pany would look favorably on the pro-
position. Among those present at the meeting
were: S. H. Buchanan J. S. Ray-
nolda of Las Vegas L. M. Openhelm-
er H. B. Stevens W. S. MoCutcbeon
B. L. Berkey. J. P. Dieter A. Kra-
kauer A. Courchesne F. Martinez B

August Flower
"It is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton that in my travels in all
parts of the world for to the last ten
years I have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy for dyspepsia deranged
liver and stomach and for constipa-
tion. I find for tourists and salesmen
or for persons filling office positions
where headaches and general bad feel-
ings from irregular habits exlet that
Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. It does not injure tbe system
by frequent use and is excellent for
sour stomach and indigestion."

Obtained $2000 Life Insurance Palicym
Mv business as proprietor of the Lyceum Shell Oyster Parlor. 245 Main
street. Rochester N. Y." writes Mr. Charles W. Babcock "was so confining
that my lungs became affected
and go to work at some-
thingoutdoors. He said
my lungs were m bad
shape and I knew it
just as well as he did.
The trouble had been
growing on me for a
long time. Like most
other people. I tried to
make myself believe
the trouble was not in
the lungs. I called it
stomach trouble or ner-
vous disorder but I
kept coughing spitting
and wasting away right
along. I lost in weight
falling from 140 to 1x5
pounds. Somehow or
other I got hold of Ack
er s Kngiisn Kemeay

as well as any man in New York State. I was healthier and stronger than be-
fore I took the cold which came so near killing me. I now weigh 150 pounds
ten pounds more than ever. After recovering. I applied for a life insurance
policy. When the doctor began examining me I was afraid he would discover
that my lungs had once been affected but he didnt. I passed all right and
was pronounced in a first-class condition. If that isn't proof of the most posi-
tive kind that Acker's English Remedy is a great medicine. I don't know what
you call proof. I give it mv warmest endorsement. My address is given above.
Anyone who wishes may write me personally about my case."
