"I believe, ’’ said an officer of the
chamber of oommeroe yesterday, “that
the local officials of every railroad run-
ning into El Paso are aoxlous to see
• their lines give El Paso rates that will
enable this city to build up its jobbing
trade and have a fair showing with
I competitors in the territory that right-
: fully belongs to this city.
| “Nearly all of the railroad officials
located here own homes and other prop
erty in Ei Paso and as citizens of the
I community they recognize the justness
l of the cause which the chamber of com-
; rnerce was organized to further; they
I know that El Paso is not being given
j an equal showing with its rivals to
| build up its jobbing interests, oonse-
j qnently we have the eympathy of these
j gentlemen and that is going to oonnt
' for much when we get our case before
the traffic managers of the different
lines.”
In conversation with a Times report-
er yesterday relative to the brewery
which Messrs Conrchesne, Lindlahr
and their associates will establish here
Mr Conrchesne said:
The freight rates out of El Paso will
be an important factor in the success of
any industrial enterprise that can be
started in this city. After deciding co
establish a brewery here we very natur-
ally began inquiring into the freight
rates charged on beer from other points
to El Paso; and the comparisons are
odious. They show a most unjust dis-
crimination against El Paso.
“The roads hanl beer from 8t. Louis
to this city for 53 cents for 100 pounds
and charge on the same goods from El
Paso to Deining 03 cents per lOOponnds
The distance from St. Louis to El Paso
is about 1,200 miles while it is not an
hundred from this city to Deming. Dal-
las is put on something like an eqnal
footing with St. Louis and the rate on
beer from Dallas to El Paso is 82 oents.
"If it were not for this unjust dis-
crimination against our city El Paso
would today have wholesale houses car-
rying stocks valued at from $200,000 to
#300,000.
‘ ‘But we can never hope to make this
city a big jobbing point until the rail-
roads decide to give us a fair deal. We
simply ask to be placed on an eqnal
footing with other cities of the same
commercial importance as El Paso. It
is my opinion, however, when the
chamber of oommeroe committee prop-
erly presents our case to the railroads
they will give us more equitable rates.”
forced the blockade. In some of the
outs the enow was seven feet deep and
a force of men worked until after 11
o’olook at night to dear the track.
People arriving in the dty from the
White Oaks country say that the snow
storm Tuesday and Wednesd y was the
heaviest experienced in that country for
many years.
The train leaving El Pa90 yesterday
morning went through to Capitan and
there will be no further delays unless
another big snow storm comes along.

Harry Alexander, the portly and pop-
ular assistant general passenger agent of
the E. P. & N. E., came in over the

A MYSTERIOUS RAILROAD.
Begin** Nowhere aixl End* There—Who 1h
the Builder?
A special from Lewiston, Idaho, says:
"The Pacific & Idaho Northern rail-
way, now being bnilt from Weiser, in
the southern part of the state, north to
Seven Devils is the most mysterious
piece of railroad building in the coun-
try. It begins nowhere and ends no-
where. Yet over one hundred miles of
the finest roadbed have been built, aud
cash is paid for everything, and only
the best material is purchased. No one
The reputation of Will R Brown,
traveling traffic agent of the Santa Fe,
as a seller of hats and ribbons, has al-
ready reached Chicago, and he has re-
ceived a dispatch from Chicago, signed
by P. D. Q & Co„ offering him $2,500
per annum to sell millinery.
“We added 45 people to the popula-
tion of Lincoln county, New Mexico, to-
day,” said General Manager Eddy of
the E. P. & N. E., yesterday. “This
addition to the population was in the
shape of a party of miners and their
families, who go to Capitan to work in
the coal mines”’
The Texas & Pacific is doing a land
office bnsiness in the handling of Cali-
fornia oranges and vegetables. Thurs-
day forty carloads of oranges went east
over that line, and yesterday twenty-
seven cars loaded with oranges, cauli-
flower and celery went out over the T.
<fc P. for eastern points.
H. M. Mayo, chief of the literary bu-
reau of the Sunset route, has just got-
ten out a neat badge, giving informa-
tion of the Sunset Limited and the
country through which it passes. The
badge is of circular form, contains sev-
eral pages and is tied with a blue cord.
One will be given to each lady passen-
ger on the limited and will be a pretty
souvenir of her trip.

The Texas Midland, the “one man-
agemeht” road of Texas, has just gotten
out a pocket date book, there being
space sufficient on each date to make a
memorandum of things to come or that
have passed. It is for the year 1900,
and contains valuable information, has
pages for a cash account and full pages
for keeping stamps. It is convenient
aud useful. It is the sixth issue of a
book of the kind, but this year the road
has gotten it out in much handsomer
shape than ever before.

“The Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion company is to build 77 miles from
Riparia to Lewiston, and eventually it
is expected the road will connect the
Oregon Railway and Navigation com-
pany with the Oregon Short Line. This
will make it possible to start a car at
New York city and pull it to Portland,
Oregon, on tracks owned by the Van-

The testing of the well just completed
on the mesa bv the G. H. road was en
tirely satisfactory to Superintendent
Martin, who said yesterday:
“Our test consisted of pumping stead-
ily for two hours at the rate of 108,000
gallons per day, aud there was no evi-
dence of an exhaustion in the supply of
water. There is no doubt in my miud
as to the sufficiency of the snpply. The
water appears perfectly pure and free
from alkali, and of the same quality as
that obtained from the government
wells at Fort Bliss. However, I will
know all about the quality in a few
days, as I have sent a jug of the water
to Sacramento to be analyzed. We
were so well satisfied with the quality
and quantity of water in the first well
we have already begun work on the
seoond well. ’

400 South Ei Paso Street-
A hard fought case was tried yerter-
day before Justice Ellis.
It was the case of the state vs. Frank
Farmer, aoensed of using abusive aud
obscene language to F. G Peterson, the
complaining witness, in the presence of
bis wife.
The complaint was sworn out some
time ago against Mrs. MoKinsey aud
Farmer.
it seems the latter resides with the
former- and to a oertaiu extent attends
to her affairs. Mrs. MoKinsey rented a
room to Peterson aud his wife, and the
latter was in payment of the said rent
to assist in the household duties. This
she did for a time and then Mrs. Me-
Kinsey claims became lazy and did
nothing.
Peterson was ordered to leave the
house, but just at that time had no
place to go. A quarrel ensued and then
it was Farmer used the words com-
plained of
Mrs. McKinsey filed a certificate from
Dr. Thompson stating that she was too
ill to attend court and the case was con-
tinued. Finally the proceedings against
her were dismissed, and Farmer had
his trial yesterday, William C. MoGown
appeared for the defendant, while Al-
bert 8. Eylar prosecuted the case.
A jury was demanded for the defend-
ant and duly empaneled.
Two witnesses swore to Farmer using
the objectionable language at the time
alleged.
The defendant denied the charge and
explained at some length hiB cause of
complaint against the prosecuting wit-
ness.
After arguments by the attorneys the
jury retired at about eleven but oonld
not reach an agreement until three
o’clock in the afternoon when they
brought in a verdict finding the defend
ant not guilty.
DEFENDANT ACQUITTED.
Mrs. Juana Macias, whose case was
continued last Thursday, was brought
up before Justice Spencer yesterday
morning She was charged with steal-
ing an overcoat from Pedro Qaarte, her
sister’s lover.
Upon investigation it appeared to the
conrt the woman had been given the
coat to pawn, and the complaining wit-
ness knew what disposition the defend-
ant had made of the same. Whereupon
Mrs. Maoias was released from custody.
But her liberty was of short duration
for she was immediately rearrested on
an old complaint from the county court
charging her with adultery. Jeeus
Duarte was also arrested on the same
charge. They both now oocupy cells in
the county jail, neither of them being
able to furnish bonds
It is claimed that the charge of steal-
ing an overcoat was trumped up against
the woman for the object of separating
her from her lover.
