RUMORS ARE
UNFOUNDED
Rock Island Will Not
Discriminate Against
El Paso Jobbers.
Rate; Now in Process of Adjust-
ment Will Accord Business In-
terests Fair Treatment.
There have been unfounded rumors
that the Rook Island had in mind the
adjustment, of freight rates in such a
manner as to be unfavorable to El
Paso jobbers. The theory has been
that the road would make the El Paso
rate the maximum and thus give in-
termediate points, Santa Rosa for in-
stance, an advantage in having the
same rate as this place and therefore
being able, because of greater prox-
imity to the selling territory, to under-
sell El Paso up in the new wool and
sheep country through which the Rock
Island will pass.
Several jobbers admitted having
heard such a rumor but seemed to
give it little credence. The Rock Is-
land people, they said, had called on
them and had assured them that they
were coming into the territory with a
good service and that they had no in-
tention of discriminating against the
jobbers here. The merchants seen
said they believed firmly in the road’s
good faith in the matter. One of them
even went so far as to say, “We can’t
expect everything and everybody to be
for this city, and it does not seem log-
ical to me that we should expect the
jobbing trade of much of this new
territory so far away to the north-east.
As a matter of fact, that is one of the
ultimate ways in which El Paso must
suffer in small degree in return for
the great and general benefit a new
railroad system brings. Necessarily,
some of the territory along the line
will not belong to us.’’
At’ the Rock Island general offices,
however, it was positively stated by
Mr. Brasted that the rumor was with-
out foundation. The matter of rates
is of course just now in course of
adjustment, and at present he cour-
teously refused to make any statement,
as even he was not in position to know
the final arrangement hut he was ab-
solutely sure that El Paso would lie
treatd with every consideration. There
is little disposition among the jobbers
to question the road’s intention in the
matter of west-bound rates.. They
are concerned principally with the
promised improved service from the
east. The Rock Island says it will
bring freight from Chicago in four
days and from Kansas City in three
days.
service. The next result of the new
regulations made by the Mexicans
will probably be necessarily poorer
service for them In the eating line.
Congratulates Mr. Mead.
Of El Paso's newly appointed Cen-
tral representative, the Dallas News
says: “W. S. Mead, formerly of Dal-
las, has recently been appointed gem
oral commercial agent of the Mexican
Central, headquarters at El Paso. Mr.
Mead left Dallas a little more than a
year ago to enter the employ of the
Central. The present appointment is
a responsible one for a person of his
age. and friends in Dallas and else-
where will be gratified to hear of his
promotion."
Engineers in the Field.
A party of Rock Island surveyors
started yesterday to run a line parallel
with the Choctaw into Oklahoma City,
from which place a line*will be run
to South McAlester. It is rumored
that the Rosk Island will either pur-
chase the Choctaw or build into South
McAlister, hut it has been stated upon
authority that the Choctaw is not for
sale, consequently the Rock Island
will build to the McAlester coal fields
at an early date.—Dallas News.

International Travel Reduced.
According to Mexican exchanges,
the fall in the price of silver has had
the unexpected effect of diminishing
perceptibly outward-bound interna-
tional travel. The one-way fare to
New York, for instance, shows an in-
crease in Mexican silver of nearly
$10. and other passenger rates paya-
ble in gold are proportionately higher.
Notes and Personals.
The Santa Fe in coming passenger
did not arrive until 2:20 yesterday
afternoon.
George F. Roe, division freight and
passenger agent of the Santa Fe, left
last night for a two weeks’ trip
through New Mexico.
'the preliminary survey and esti-
mate of flic proposed Phoenix and
Eastern railroad, projected to connect
with the Phelps-Dodge system at Ben-
son. and to be built by F. M. Murphy
and associates, are completed, and
work of the final location of the sur-
vey will begin tomorrow,
11. F. Fox, traveling freight and pas-
senger agent of the Rock Island, re-
turned yesterday from a trip to the
west. Although he lias been assigned
to El I’aso but a few weeks, he has
decided lo make his home here, and is
arranging to bring his family from
Des Moines, Iowa, their former home,
at once.
AGITATING A PAVEMENT.
For Alley Connecting Little Plaza and
San Antonio Street.
Property holders along the alley
which connects the Kittle Plaza and
San Antonio street are agitating the
question of paving that short thor-
oughfare. “Traffic is growing rapid-
ly," said one of the interested persons
yesterday. “And if the present alley
were put in good shape it would de-
velop into a sort of court, or modi-
fied arcade, and become enough fre-
quented by pedestrians who would he

a good retail location.”

New Baggage Cars.
It is stated that the failure of the
new baggage cars to put in an appear-
ance on the G., H. & S. A. is due to
the efforts of the Wells-Fargo people
gage cars all along. The new cars
which have been turned out of the
shops in east Texas, and some of which
are in use now on the II. & T. C., have
no platforms, but have a vestibule,
■with doors opening abruptly at the
end. The side slide doors have an elec-
tric wire arrangement, which, when
propely adjusted, can serve
the engineer that the door
opened. This is a probable provision
against hold-ups. The cars arc unit

MISCHIEF MAKER.
A Surprise in Brooklyn.
An adult’s food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing
and easily digested and good for big
and little folks. A Brooklyn man
says: “When baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin
and pale. This was, at first, attribu-
ted to the heat and the fact that his
teeth were coming, but, in reality,
the poor little tiling was starving,
his mother’s milk not being sufficient
nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, I suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This
baby ate so ravenously that she fixed
a second, which he likewise finished,
it was not many days before he forgot
all about being nursed, and has since
lived almost exclusively on Grape-
Nuts. Today the hoy is strong and
robust, and as cute a mischief-maker
as a thirteen-months-old baby is ex-
pected to he.
“We have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him so much good in his
time of need—his old friend, Grape-
Nuts.
“Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and 1 can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright-
ness it has brought to our household.
These statements can he verified by
any one who wishes to make a visit
to our home." F. F. McElroy, 256
South Third street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby
food, hut experience with thousands
of babies shows it to he among the
best, if not entirely the best in use.
Being a scientific preparation of Na-
ture's grains, it is equally effective as
a body and brain builder for grown-
ups.
