MEXICANS SWARM
OVER RIO GRANDE.
Through the gateway of El
Paso Texas 50000 Mexicans
passed Jast year into the United
States. These are by this time
scattered from Southern Mexico
to the four corners of our land
for they do not linger long at
the entrance but pass on. El
Paso's normal Mexican popula-
tion is 45000. Some return to
their old homes south of the
border some come to the North
and East to the beet fields of
Wisconsin and Michigan to the
mines of Virginia to the mills
of Pennsylvania. Some follow
the thousands of miles of rail-
road all over the country. A
large part especially of those
who come to seek a home strike
out across the desert by auto
mobile or train to the western
coast. But the gateway opens
toward the South as well as to-
ward the North. The mapority
of those who come to the beet
fields or Cake up other agricul-
tural labor in the spring go
south with the coming of the
fall. As many as 200 families
a day will retrace their steps at
the close of the harvest.
To render a helpful service to
this migrant throng is the busi-
ness of William M. Orr and his
corps of workers at the Church
of tho Divine Saviour in El Paso
la church established some years
ago by the Presbyterian Board
of National Missions. He and
his assistants receive the fami-
lies of those who have come on
before find them homes hfelp
them through the immigration
station and on their way into
the interior. They find employ-
ment for them Bomctimes in El
Paso sometimes elsewhere.
They give counsel aid in pro-
curing immigration certificates
Ifor those who have lost them
and in providing m'edical atten
tion for some food and clothing
for others.
Americazation says Mr. Orr
does not appeal for the incom-
ing Mexicans are strongly pa-
triotic and have no intention of
changing their flag. Education
does not appeal for they have
no time to take advantage of it.
The amusements that could be
offered to attract them do not
appeal for Mexicans are accus-
tomed to finding their pleasure
lanrelv in Gambling. They come
seeking the two things that the
old Snnnish adventurers sought
gold and a new cans of express
ing their rehirious nature.
Through the services of Christ-
ian workers they are finding
both. San Antonio Express.

THE WOMAN WHO
CLOTHED THE POOR.
It is not only great and heroic
deeds that appeal to the imagi-
nation that can be described as
golden deeds.
Many a quite deed of kind-
ness or a work of mercy done
away from the public gaze and
with no thought of praise or re-
ward has had far-reaching ef-
fects for good and encouraged
others to emplale the worthy ex-
ample set them.
A striking example of this is
the case of Dorcas or Tahitha
the Christian disciple of the ear-
ly church whose death in the
midst of charity and helpfull-
ness caused great distress
among the poor widows of the
town of Joppa on the west coast
of Palestine.
We do not know when Dorcas
first became a convert to Chirst-
fanity but she soon learned theK
true spirit of the Master as her
kindly thought for the poor
proves.
She is described to us by St.
Luke as "full of good works and
alms deeds which she did."
so that not only had she physi
cal beauty as the meaning of!
her name suggests but she was
beautiful in cahracter and in
soul.
Then as now the poor women
of cities and towns found it dif-
ficult to obtain proper clothing
for themselves and their child-
ren ; it was in order to meet this
need that Dorcas gave her" time
and means.
She did not simply distribute
so much money and think that
her duty to the poor was fulfill-
ed but she worked with her own
hands and made garments of
many kinds which she distrib-
uted freely among the poor and
needy women and children of her
town. The gratitude which the
people felt for her on account of
her loving service is shown by
the fact that at her death they
all came together to mourn her
loss and to pay the last tribute
to her memory.
The work that she done has
been handed down through the
ages from the early church to
the present day and never did
the example of Dorcas give
greater inspiration than it is
giving today to thousands of wil-
ling helpers who are trying to
bring cheer to the poor. It
would be impossible to say how
many of the poor have been
clothed in all the ages and how
much joy and happiness have
been brought to the poor solely
as a result of the example first
set by Dorcas in the town of
Joppa 'about nineteen centuries
ago. Such acts as she perform
ed are we must all agree gold
en deeds in the very highest
and truest sense of the term.-

FROM IARTLETT
TO COLORADO.
(By T. P. ROBINSON)
(Continued from last week)
Resuming our journey wo
presently reached the timber
line and had more than three
thousand feet yet to ascend up
the side of the steep barren
waste of granite that vied in
steepness that of a house roof
whose treacherous sides almost
baffled the" conquering hand of
man to hue out a roadway on
his massive cheek yet submis-
sive he stood like a conquered
child before the steady blows
of the roadmakers' picks. Look-
ing behind we could see the
roadway up which we had come
stretching down the mountain
side like a silver ribbon wrink-
led and tossed by a summer
breeze so crooked did it appear.
Glancing to our left near the
summit we saw the '"Bottom-
less Pit" a wonder produced by
one side of the mountain break-
ing oft and plunging into the val-
le ybelow leaving a chasm hun-
dreds of feet deep yet with a
bottom of course six six bun-
dled feet below. Arriving t
the summit we dismounted for
an hour's sight-seeing and rec-
reation. We found our cars on
the bum our eyes were on tho
blink our hearts were trying to
jump out our feet were uncer-
tain our legs were enfeebled
and our words were hollow.
Thus we felt verp unnatural so
rare was the air nearly three
males high and far above the
clouds. An observatory a de-
pot of the Cog railway and a
fliotel compriso the visible im-
provements of the summit ex-
cept a small plot of land level-
led down for convenience. The
top of the mountain is some five
acres large is composed of pure
granite shorn of every vesture
of soil and is wonderously
rough. Standing on the north
rim the city of Denver cnarly
100 miles away could be seen
to the north while Pueblo 50
miles to the southeast was
plainly visible. To the fast lay
a plain that faded into a blue
and hazy distance while to the
west hundreds of white-capped
mountains stood in a hopeless
jumble and stretched on and on
and on until the eye could seo
no more. The lower lying moun-
tains to the north looked like
white-capped ocean wavefc. The
panaromn lying before our eyes
is awe-inspiring and defies the
pen or words of man to de
scribe. While itoxicated With
the visions before us and await-
ing orders to descend snow and
sleet began to fall on us and
bounce off which shortly whit-
ened the ground. This was a
cold day in August and a novel-
ty to a Texan. Our descent was
uneventful. We returned to
camp about 4 p. m. and having
time yet to spare we went to
the Cave of the Winds and Man-
itou Springs. We drove up to
the Cave of the Winds build-
ing secured our tickets to en?
ter at $1.10 each 'and entered
through t tunnel excavated in
the side of the mountain. When
on the inside of the cave we
quickly realized that the Cave
of the Winds was as big a farce
as the Garden of the Gods.
There are several chambers of
wonderful names only one of
which is as large as a good size
store building two stories high.
The entire extent of the cave is
not over 150 yards. Some of
the chambers have stiglamites
and sjilagtites a peculiar depos-
it caused by leakage of awtcr.
There is the bridal chamber so
named because several wedd-
ings took place there. The Old
Maid's chamber so named be-
cause many women deposit a
hair pin in this chamber with a
wish. There are a nail keg or
so o ifthese pins stacked in this
chamber. The cave was dis-
covered by two boys 12 and 13
years of age respectively in
1S80 and was named the Cave
of the Winds because it had a
current of wind passing through
it.
Our next place of intrest was
Manitou Springs so named by
the Indians before the white
man came. The spring is a
wonder. It gives you pure soda
water that sparkles 'and bub
bles Just like any soda fountain
and tastes similar. A bath
house is constructed over tho
springs. The little town is
nice aud pretty and needs no

THE KATY's YOUR RAILROAD
The Public Regulates f
THE public regulate the conduct of
American railroads. While the Katy
ii owned by private capital and oper-
ated under private management the field
of managerial enterpriie and initiative ia
limited by public control.
Freight and passenger ratet the fre-
quency of train service and convenience of
schedules the standards of tafety are all
regulated by Public Authority. Theae in
turn largely determine the requirement!
facilities type and deiign of equipment
maintenance atandarda and the necessity
for adequate meaaurea to provide public
transportation under the conditiona im-
posed j
Employ tea wages hour of vrorlc work-
ing conditions taxes bond and stock is-
sues extensions of lines and service inter-
est on investment the valuation of proper-
ties are all regulated by agencies of public
authority.
Theae with other minor regulations imit
the field of management. The Katy can
meet and provide for requircmenta only aa
public authority perraita it to earn the
revenues necessary to previde additional
facilities and justify the uae of additional
NEW CAPITAL. The public cannot take
more out of the railroad in the way of
errice than It makea possible by revenue.
' Southwestern growth will continae to
require increased railroad investment each
year. Under the prcsenf achime of public
regulation the Katy hat made ateady
progress expanded and improved ita serv-
ice. If public welfare i to be properly
erred it la essential that matnaiemant
have freedom of initiative to operate under
the simple business lawe which apply alike

TO AND FROM THE
further mention here.
We returned to camp and next
morning resolved to take the
train for the gold mines at
Cripple Creek some sixty miles
back in the mountains.
Next morning we found our-
selves speeding toward the en-
trance of Ute Pass on an obser-
vation coach o fthe train espec-
ially devised equipped and
maintained by the railroad for
the convenience and pleasure of
the tourists. On we went at a
good pace over a complex ser-
pentine railroad that wound this
way then unwound that mak-
ing the mind dizzy to keep in
touch with its meanderings en-
tering a tunnel here spanning
a chasm there ever upward and
always onward into the dazzling
mountain fastness. Perpendic-
ular1 walls of Coloradic granite
hundreds of feet high stood in
the line of the path finder. The
foothold of the track was a
blasted etching in the side of
the pisturesque granite wall
making a granite canopy over-
head while a yawning muredr-
ou3 looking canyon gasped be-
low you. Thus we went on-
ward ever upward to the dizzy
heighth of two miles winding
around mountain sides on a
track whose footing was chis-
eled in to the mountain side
where to your left tho mountain
peaks reached into the clouds
and where to your right you
gazed into a canyon where a cow
looked like a dog.fi so great was
the distance.

The Katy Serves7
THE Pioneer in It territory the Katy
always ha occupied a distinctive re-
lationship to the public it serve. Al-
though constructed a a private project it
waa conceived in a public purpose.
At the close of the Civil Wor the Gov-
ernment recognized the necessity for a
railroad from the North to Texa and the
Mexican border. Congress offered a large
grant of land to the first railroad con-
structed across Indian Territory to Texa.
The Katy vrai certified by President Grant
as the winner of a spectacular race in rail-
road construction which carried all the
romance of the pioneer and the thrill of
a hard fought and hard earned victory.
The land grant reward wa denied by
Congress although the Katy ha uniformly
met the obligation of public service im-
posed by conditions under which construc-
tion wa undertaken. However Pioneer
hope of public advantage to result from
thia artery of commerce haa been realized.
In a half century the great Southwestern
empire haa grown up along the Katy.
To meet the growing nccda of South'
waatern transportation and in the face of
ever increasing public regulation and con-
trol the Katy ha iteadily increased k
investment of NEW CAPITAL and ex-
panded and improved it aervice. In thirty
year the Katy ha increased it investment
