The work done on section C-l on
the Santa Fe, under Foreman "Buck-
shot" Handley the remainder of the
week will be practically nil, as the
men in his gang are all negroes and
are laying off to celebrate the "June-
teenth." Most of them have secured
transportation to outside points and
are contemplating a great time.
* * *
Civil engineers for the Santa Fe
are engaged In running the final
lines for the last lap in the double
track work through the local yards,
only a few hundred feet of which
remains to be constructed. The gang
under Tom Pargen is now at work in

ployed by the Santa Fe here, accom-
panied by his daughter, Mary, is

ghter. Bernice, will accompany them

visit friends for a few days.

The steel re-inforcing for the con-
crete drain across the Santa Fe yards
here has been put in position up to
Avenue B. This work will have to be
stopped there until the new station
has been finished when it will be
extended the entire length of the
building and about thirty feet past
the north end. Excavation is well
under way on the second drain and
the concrete gang under J. C. Connor
will go to work on it within the
next few days.

Some rapid work has been done
during the past few days by the extra
gang put on by the Santa he in
charge of Foreman "lluckshot" Hand-
ley. It was intended that this gang
consist of twenty nun, but this was
cut to fifteen, but about half a mile
of track was given new tie* where
necessary every day while re-surfac-
ing was done, as well as low joints
and high centers eliminated. The
track Is now in sui h shape as to be
good for a mlle-aminute schedule,
and even freight engineers make that
time occasionally.
The newspaper man thought yes-
terday that he had discovered some-
thing when he was informed by a
railroad man that "the full crew law
was being violated oil the Angelo
branch," the statement being made
that the west local had three con-
ductors and no brakemen, while the
aforementioned law specifies that
there shall be "one conductor, two
brakemen, etc." Investigation de-
veloped the fact that the recent re-
duction had caused two conductors
to return to breaking. The train is
in charge of Conductor Homer Samp-
son, the "civil conductors" being
Willie Clark and R. E. Graves.

WELL!
Were You There?
TjrE THOUGHT SO; seemed like everybody in town was down
rr to see our Great June offerings, and from the way the sales
tallied up at 6 p. m., we believe that everyone who visited our store
bought something. We know of some who came looking, went
out ''looking,'' came back and bought, affording us the satisfaction
of knowing that our merchandise and our prices are the most attrac-
tive tn the city
We intended them to be that way from the very first and havent
found it necessary to lower a single one since our big announcement.
Today You Will Find Every-
thing On Sale as Advertised
and lots that were depleted, will be replenished and strengthened
where ever possible.
We Expect You To-Day \
We Expect You Every Day
During this great sale, and we know it will be decidely to your in-
terest if you supply your summer needs here.

No need now to get less value
for a nickel than you've had for a
dime. All stores sell both sizes. You
won't get the right cigar if you just
ask for a light cigar. Strong tobacco is
even harsher when harvested green for the
sake of color. The Robert Burns and
Little Bobbie are more than color-mild,
more than wrapper-mild. The filler
has the same gentle qualities. Made of
tobacco which is mild by nature—which is
allowed to ripen fully on the plantation and
then fully cured before it reaches the bench.
You can smoke 'em all day and your health
won't notice the difference.

second concrete drain which the San-

passenger yardB. While the other is
not entirely completed, but a few
days will be necessary and In the

sible.

June the thirteenth seemed to be
a bad day for the Santa Fe, for be-

ther the same number—waB met on

Mention was made in The Tele-
gram a few days ago of a visit to the
city of C. Dorntierger, chief gard-
ner for the Gulf lines of the Santa
Fe, with headquarters at Brenham.
While here, assisted by J. 8. Flan-
ary, the local gardner, a flower bed
representing the trade mark of the
road was laid out. Plants with dif-
ferent colored foliage were used and
these are beginning to show up in a
very satisfactory manner, which
adds much to that "beauty spot"
near the passenger station,

The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers on the Gulf lines of the
Santa Fe are planning a joint meet-
ing of the different and various di-
visions In the State to take place
some time within the next two or
three months. The place has not
been definitely decided upon and lies
between Temple, Cleburne and Gal-
veston, with the odds in favor of the
latter place. It is said that the
meeting is to be mostly of a social
nature, and planned principally for
an outing.

At the bi-ennial convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Euginemen, which is now in
session at St. .Paul, Minn., the Im-
portant question of whether the con-
ventions should be held bl-etinially
as at present, or quadrennially1—ev-
ery four years. It was determined
by the delegates that the conven-
tions should be held bl-enniaily. An-
other interesting question settled was
as to whether or not a member must
be actually and actively engaged in
the work of firing to qualify as a
delegate to the conventions. It was
decided that this was not nereasary,
the only essential point being that
he be an active member In good
standing in his lodge. Still, another
interesting question that lies not yet
been decided was the place at which
the next convention will be held
that of 1912. Three cities are bld-
SLEEPERS THRU TO CHICAGO.
Beginning Thursday, One May Go
From Texas Points to Chicago
Without Changing Cars.
As forecast in The Telegram some
weeks ago, the Katy is to inaugurate
through cars between Texas points
and Chicago, via the Katy to St.
Louis, and the Chicago and Alton
St. Louis to Chicago.
The first cars will be attached to
the Limited leaving the Chicago,San
Antonio and Galveston stations to-
today, June the 16th. Several sleepsrs
up to the standard maintained on the
Katy Limited, have been placed at
the disposal of the railroad company
for the Inauguration of the new ser-
vice, and will probably make the
road more popular than ever.
Under the new arrangement one
can enter the car at San Antonio or
Galveston one night, reach St. Louis
the following evening, and pull out
of that city for the one by the Lakes
which will be reached at seven next
morning—in time for breakfast-
making the entire trip without a
change. It can hardly be denied that
the new service will be appreciated
by Texans bound for the North, as
well as people in the North who de-
sire to come to "God's country"—
Texas.
