HgO.
rarun of euKineers are already sur
reying an extension of the road from
lltabce to Sun Diego. California aa has
before lwen nald In The Herald.
The Rock Island will use the Phelps-
liotlee road from El Paso to Bisbee
and thence over their own tracks to
the Pacific coast. This Is now certain
whereas before It has been shrewd
guess work.
The above Information' comes from
an outside source that Is absolutely
reliable
A few days ago a Herald reporter
called on Mr. Wambaugh. chief engin-
eer of the Phelps-Dodge people and
asked him the question if his company
Intended to build Into El Paso. At that
time he replied that there was abso-
lutely nothing new in the situation.
He then went on to illustrate to the
reporter why his company should not
build into Kl Paso. He said:
"This is not ; railroad proposition in
the ordinary except at Ion of the word.
We are not building a road for the
purpose of hauling passengers but for
our own use in the handling of the pro-
duct of our mines at Nacosari. There
appears to me to be no reason why -we
should build a road over 200 miles of
track from Nacosari to El Paso at a
cost of several million dollars when by
the construction of a road from Naco-
sari to Separ only 98 miles long to a
connection with the Southern Pacific
we can accomplish the same purpose
and save a haul of 122 miles which
we have to make at the present time
via Bisbee and Benson.
"Something has been said about the
people of El Paso offering subsidies
as an inducement for us to . come in
here. Now what subsidy could be of-
fered us to offcet the expenditure of
perhaps three million of dollars? Per-
sonalis I see no reason whatever for
the company to .build a road from Na-
cosari to El Paso yet the conditions
are changing every day with such
kaleidoscopic rapidity I cannot say
what will happen.
"There is one feature of it that may
be taken into consideration however.
The Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
work together in the handling of the
freight to and through this point. The
construction of the Rock Island into
El Paso will no doubt cause some
changes in rate making. The Rock
Island has always been a rate maker
and when they come in here there is
every probability that they will pur-
sue the policy they have followed here-
tofore and make rates which the Santa
Fe will have to meet. That fact may.
have some bearing upon the question
of building our road in here.'"
That was the substance of the inter-
t view with Mr. Wambaugh on Tuesday
last. The kaleidoscopic change occur-
red within the next few days for it is
now announced by the same official of
the Phelps-Dodge company that they
have decided to build into El Paso and
that the secret can not be kept any
longer. 1
The explanation of this sudden
change of front can no doubt be found
in the consummation of a deal between
the Rock Island road and the Phelps-
Dodge company by which the former
will use the latter's road in an outlet
to the Pacific coast and the two roads
will haVe the same terminals in this
city.
DON'T CHEW DINERO.
"T)o you see that Mexican with a
nickel in his mouth?" asked Special
Officer Rayner of the S. P.. of "Link
and Pin" at the depot this morning
pointing to a fruiet vendor who had
a coin between his lipe. "Well may-
be after a while he will give that nickel
in change to some woman and she will
put it into her mouth.
"Haven't you -noticed what a habit
people have especially women of put-
ting money in their mouth? It is one
of the most idiotic and dangerous hab-
its people have. I have seen it prac-
ticed about the depot here until I am
often tempted to go up and tell women
to take the money out of their mouths.
But I guess if I were to do that the
woman would take it out of her mouth
leng enough to tell me it was none of
my business and then put it back.
"The other day I saw a pretty young
voman who was passing on the Limit-
cu. run in here and make a purchase
at the lunch counter. A greasy-looking
Mexican had just made a five-cent
purchase and left his nickel on the
counter. The young lady made a five-

cent purchase and gave a dime. The
Mexican's nickel was given her for
change and she placed it between her
lips until she could open her purse.
And that is the way it goes. She may
have known that the coin was laid
uown there by the Mexican but her
1-abit of putting money in her mouth
was so stroug that she couldn't have
helped putting that one there no mat-
ter if she did shudder at the thought
afterward.
"Doctors say that disease microbes
etc transferred by this method and if
there Is any truth in the transfer of
i-ilcrohcs by any method I do not know
of any better way than this to transfer
tnctn. and every person should break
themselves of the habit."
CUTTING DOWN FREE LIST.
When" President Hays was on ' his
vay to San Francisco to assume the
duties of his present high office he
st. id in an interview that during the
time he was president of the Southern
Pacific the com puny would be out of
olitics. Judging fro mart ions he has
taken now it seems that he is already
commencing to make good the state-
ment. ' The first step in this direction which
Mr. Hays took was to secure a list of
all the politicians who were riding over
the S. P. on free passes. He found hun-
dreds of annuals extant and he at once
notified their holders that they would
be honored until the last day of Feb-
ruary. On that date he called them all
in. and although he has been besieged
by applications for renewals he has
turned down about 90 per cent of them.
He has also stated that he has renew-
ed all that he intends to.
The passes which have been renewed
h.ive been signed by President Hays
himslf. and his office has also taken
in hand the Issuance of trip passes.
The number of trip passes is said to
have fallen oft about 85 per cent since
he took hold of the office. No wonder
t.'iere is weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth among the ranks
of those who used to ride for nothing.
BLACKSMITH SHOP CHANGES.
As reported Saturday two helpers
in the G. H. blacksmith shop resigned
their positions Saturday to go to other
places. They are Wallace Grantham
and Martin Arrey.' Two men went to
vork this morning but not exactly In
the places made vacant.
J. T. Kane of La Junta. Colo. takes
the place of R. Hudepohl at the big
fire as assistant to Foreman Lucas and
Mr. Hudepohl takes the position of en-
gineer and assistant at the tool Are
piade vacant by Mr. Grantham. S. P.
Reeves is the other new helper and
works at the tool fire.
J. T. Kane worked last for the Santa
Fe In the Raton shops. S. P. Reeves
has worked in the T. & P. shops in
this city about a year..
AN HONORED ENGINE. '
Engine M of the E. P. & N. E. has
received the honor of being the first
engine to bear the name of the new
line the El Paso-Rock Island. The en-
gine has just come out of the Alamo-
gordo shops where it was given a gen-
eral overhauling and the new name
painted on it. It brought down an ex
tra train of twenty-five steel cars of
coal yesterday and returned northward
with another extra this morning. En-
gineer Cody and Fireman Smith were
in the cab of the honored engine when
it came down on its first run under
the new name and the train crew con-
sisted of Conductor Graham and Brake-
man Hunter and Bishop. They all feel
honored by being Interested in the first
run of the engine as an El Paso-Rock
Island engine.
THE BROOKLYN'S ANCHOR.
Two Interesting cargoes that pass-
ed through over S. P. lines a few days
ago were the anchor of the
cruiser rBooklyn and the chains
that will attach it to the ship. The
anchor Is said to be an entirely new
pattern nnlike any anchor ever made
before and being made effective for
holding a ship is not necessarily as
large as the ordinary anchor. How-
ever It was quite a large piece of iron.
The chains are made of huge links
about sixteen Inches In length made
of rods two inches in diameter. The
anchor passed through a few days be-
fore the chains.
MORE CONSTRUCTION OUTFITS.
Good & Company the contractors
who are constructing the E. P. & N. E.
extension sent out three cars of la
borers horses and wagons to work on
the extension this morning. The con-
tractors are using the observation cars
of the Alamogordo & Sacramento
Mountain road in which to transfer la-
borers to the scene of construction.
One of these cars went out on the E
P. & N. E. this morning.

J. T. Mahl. chief engineer in the
maintenance of way department of the
Southern Pacific with headquarters at
Houston died at Spartansburg. S. C.
Saturday while en route to New York
citv with his mother. Mrs. William
Mahl.
Mr. Mahl hua been in bad health for
some time and about a month ago he
pttssed through El Paso on his way to
1'hoenlx: Arizona being with Presi
dent Hays's party that passed through
from the trip through Mexico. He I
malned at Phoenix until the latter part
of last week. His health did not im
I'l-ove there and his serious condition
caused his mother to he telegraphed
for and she Joined him in Phoenix
about two weeks ago. Finding that to
remain there would do him no good
he decided to accompany his mother
to New York and spend his last days
with his parents. Saturday's Herald
mentioned his passing through this
ily on his way back east. He was
not able to stand the trip and died at
Spartansburg as above stated.
Mr. Mahl had occupied the position
In- held at the time of his death for
several years and was held In high
esteem by the officials or the S. P. sys-
tem being regarded by them as one
of the most capable men at the head
t.f such a department. He was only
SO years of age. but had made an excel
lent record while engaged In railroad
work.
His father. William Mahl. is assist
ant to the president of the Southern
Pacific company and resides in New
York.
Mr. Mahl was a widower his wife
l aving been dead some time and he
leaves a little daughter.
It is not known yet whether the fun
eral will take place In Houston or NewJ
ork.
DID NOT FOOL THEM.
The G. H. pay car was reported due
about 12:30 p. m.. but the boys were
somewhat afraid that as it is the first
of April the car would not come just
for an April Fool. However the car
was not disposed to feci prankish and
came In as reported and the boys have
their heads set to one side listening
to the jingling of the guinea in their
pockets.
SPARKS FROM THE ENGINE.
Fireman Beavis of the S. P. has been
sick several days and Fireman Kin
caid is feeding his engine.
The passenger trains over S. P. lines
this morning were very short. The
incoming train on the G. H. had only
five cars and the outgoing on the S.
P. had seven.
Sam McVey. a machinist helper at
the G. H. round house had his hand
so badly scalded with hot water Sat
urday that he had to discontinue work
the remainder of the day. but is at
work again today. He is one of the
most popular helpers in the round
house.
IN EL PA SO
(Continued from First Page.)
"This terrible mixed up condition of
politics and the injury to the city which
is sure to ensue can be laid at the
door of only one man. Hia desire to
rule or ruin created the present situa-
tion. He was not willing to see any
man or set of men whom he could not
control get into the offices'. Hammett
is sure to be elected "
Strange Condition.
A funny incident was heard in con-
nection with the election. A ward
worker who has always been quite ef-
fective and active said to a reporter:
"Cdnfound such an election as this.
Here last week they started me out to
work for Hammett and I got things
in my territory pretty well fixed and
then they instruct me to work for
Caples. I've been out two days work
ing for him and now I find that I can t
undo the work I had already done."
Bad For Caples.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon there is
every indication that Hammett has
won a sweeping victory. Caples work
ers are disheartened and ready to quit.
Mortey is being spent like water.
Caples men confess that their candi-
date is beaten and attribute it to the
fact that he started too late to over
come the opposition.
The votes held in reserve by the fac-
tions at the various corrals are five to
one in favor of Hammett. Caples men
have about luO men corraled at the
"Red Light." Hammett's forces have
300 at Chopin hall. 250 at Alderete's
store and 100 at the "Bonanza."
Chopin hall is regarded as the best
corral in the city. It is close to the
court house where the second ward pri-
maries are to be held tonight and the
voters can be readily transferred to the
polling place at the proper moment.
It is expected that a strong and de
termined effort will be made tonight
at the second ward polls by Caples
men to seize and change Hammett
votes after they have been lined up.
but a coterie of skilled workers are
watching closely for all manner of
tricks and any effort at crooked work
will be frustrated.
