The Checkerboard Bag absolutely pro-

Texas Is to be greatly encouraged

tables while the gardens of those sec-
tions are still frozen beneath mantles

With Its Improved refrigerator car
service the Frisco will get the south-

goods of that class. The first of these

Construction Work Out of Benson Is
Attracting Many Men.
Special to The Tine*.
Douglas. Arlz., Sept. 23.—Any one
who chances to walk thrbugh H ave-
nue to the depot of a morning be-
tween 7 and 7:30 o’clock will prob-
ably see from three to twenty Mexi-
cans wending their way up the mid-
dle of that avenue with bundles of
blanketa and clothing on their shoul-
ders. They are not seen returning,
but are passengers westbound on the
morning train. This means that the
news of railroad construction work
on this side of the International line
ha* spread Into Sonora to points south
of this city, and that the prospect of
employment at wages which appear
highly lucrative to the ordinary Mex-
ican laborer Is the magnet that Is
drawing the descendants of the Aztecs
to the states.
To obtain the labor necessary for
twenty-five construction camps is
not an easy matter In this section,
where there is no vast army of un-
employed eager for work at any
wage and of any kind. It is impos-
sible to send across the line for la-
bor and bring them to the railroad
camps under contract, as Grant
Brothers found out. It Is a problem
tha{ seems to be solving Itself, how-
ever, to Judge from the every morn-
ing Indications at the railroad sta-
tions and the solution came when the
Mexicans learned that there was
work for them on the Southwestern
railway extension from Fairbank to
Tucson. Still more workmen will be
needed In connection with the work
of laying a new line from Lewis
Springs to Fairbank, for which the
contract has been let.
Reports from Benson are that many
laborers come In every day and quick-
ly obtain employment, and that as yet
there has been little or no disorder In
that city from the presence of so many
grade workers in the Immediate vl-
clnly of town.
Following the recent unsettled con-
ditions In Mexico and pending a gen-
eral resumption In the mining Indus-
trie* the work on the railroad Is a
boon to hundreds who would other-
wise he without work and practically
destitute.
MISSOURI PACIFIC
PILING UP DEFICIT
Annual Report Not Encouraging and
Retrenchment Is Ordered.
Special to The Times.
New York. Sept. 23.—The annual
report of the Missouri Pacific railway
for the year ending June 30, 1911,
shows a deficit of $6,232,639. Gross
earning* decreased $342,544, the total
being $52,776,693; operating expenses
Increased $5,782,664.
The greater part of the deficit re-
sults from unadjusted claims and the
settlement of Judgment suits of pre-
vious years, together with what Is
stated to be a readjustment of a pre-
vious over' aluatton of working as-
sets. A portion of the deficit Is caus-
ed by Increased wages.
Net income shows a decline of $6.-
6S7.316, with a decline In the net
surplus o* $7,990,950. The surplua
which was $16,655,587 a year ago, has
been reduced to 88,148.252 for the
Missouri Pacific. In the case of the
St. Louis It Iron Mountain road the
surplus is cut from $1,426,297 to
$111,91.0
The charges to profit and loss
against the discount and commissions
on securities, from depreciation on
equipment and Investments and sun-
dry Hems amounted to $4,494,93$.
Against this Is a credit to profit and
loss of $$.038,711, so that the net
reduction In surplus from adjustments
was $1,458,317 for the Missouri Pa-
cific. In the case of Iron Mountain
the net debt to these same accounts
was 12,231.906.

All Ready For The Opening
of the New Store, Which
Occufs Monday
Change of Street Car Sched-
ule to Accommodate
The Public.
If there Is one thing in the publio
mind more than another. It is ths
opening of the new Caltsher stora
Callsher’s occupies a place In the pub-
lic mind peculiarly Its own. For more
than a quarter of a century this stora
has stood for the best there was in
merchandising. With the opening of
the new store a new era for El Paso
merchandising begins. This company
has always taken the Initiative, and
the new store Is simply the result of
the policy that has been successfully
csrrled out since 1881. Personal In-
vitations as well as newspaper an-
nouncements have heralded the open-
ing week. September 25-30, and It Is
a certainty that no one In El Paso
or surrounding territory will fall to
attend the opening of this establish-
ment In which all are concerned.
For the convenience of the public,
the street railway will on Monday
continue Its cars around the loop on
Texas street, a* follows: Sunset
Heights, Smelter, Arizona and Boule-
vard Only. Peopje on these lines at-
tending the opening will not need to
transfer, but remain on the car until
It reaches the new Oalisher building,
corner Texas and Stanton.

policy Inaugurated by President Bush,
who was present at today's meeting of
the directors.
RAILROAD TRAFFIC
GREATLY IMPROVED
Most of Men Recently Laid Off Have
Been Again Employed.
Special to The Times. ,
Tucson. Arlz., Sept. 23.—Affairs In
railroad circles around Tucson are
looking up lately and arc progressing
better than they have all summer.
For a short time the railroad was
compelled to lay off some of Its train-
men on account of dull traffic con-
ditions but this state of affairs Is
rapidly passing away, and everything
points to a good fall anJ winter.
An official of the railroad yester-
day stated that traffic conditions have
picked up wonderfully In the last two
weeks and that most of the train-
men who were laid off a few weeks
ago because of lack of business are
being placed in their former positions.
Business conditions, he said, are rap-
idly becoming better all over the coun-
try and will be back to normal within
a very short time. This will give all
of the men who were laid off work
and It may be that others will be put
on as the winter traffic approaches.

ed by the rejection of application
Nos. 184, 186 and 195, filed by Wol-
cott & Lawson of Alamogordo, for
waters of the Sacramento river and
stream system. These applications
were filed over three years ago and
have been the cause of considerable
litigation In connection with the Sac-
ramento Valley Irrigation company
holdings In that section. Investiga-
tions have been made as to the water
supply of these project* and these
have shown that the water was not
available for the size of projects
planned and were unfeasible on such
grounds.
