TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR
EL PASO, TEXAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1904
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
ANOTHER ROAD
FOR EL FASO
Contract Let in This City for
the Survey of a Trunk
Line from Durango,
Colorado.
PLANS NOW PROPOSED
Bailey and Associates to Survey
Two Projected Routes to
Tap the Gateway to
Mexico.
IIAS BEEN LONG CONSIDERED
_ t
New Road to Pass Through a Rich
Mineral Section and Also Open
Up a Vast Stock and Agri-
cultural District.
RIO BENEFIT TO SOUTHWEST
Another railroad is coming to El
Paso and the contract was let in this
city yesterday tor the survey work.
A. O. Bailey' and associates will
build a road from Durango. Colorado,
to Ei Paso. There will be two lines
surveyed, one from Durango to Ben-
son. Arizona, to connect with the El
Paso & Southwestern and another di-
rect from Durango to El Paso via Sil-
ver city.
This is by no means a new project
as it was favorably discussed by east-
ern railroad promoters two years ago
and it is believed that the same men
are associated with Mr. Bailey. A lo-
cal railroad man who is thoroughly
acquainted with the country through
which the proposed new line will run
said yesterday:
"l believe Mr. Bailey's enterprise
will go through ami it Is a wonder
that road has not been built before
this. It Is the most inviting railroad
proposition in the west today. Why?
Well. I will tell you. The line pro-
posed by Mr. Balloy will run through
a field of about .‘too,two acres of land
rich in coal and the linest coke in
this country. It will also traverse a
magnificent cattle country and top the
finest timber belt in New Mexico, not
saying anything about the fine mineral
district it will open up to the smelters
al El Paso and Silver City.
“Now, coal, coke and ore is what
we want here and coal and coke is
what is wanted in Arizona and at
Cananea, Mexico. The road would
pay from the day it began to run
trains ami in a very short time would
prove the biggest money-maker, lor
the amount invested, in the west. It
would open it]) a splendid trade for El
Paso and would give this town abso-
lute control of the richest section of
country west of the Hio Grande.
“There is no guess work about there
being large deposits of fine coal in
the Mogollon mountains and ! know
that the officials of the Santa Fo road
have, right recently, seriously consid-
ered building to the coal. If Mr.
Bailey and his associates get there
first they will have a bonanza. They
can dispose of every ton of the coa!
to the railroads running into EI Paso
and to the smelters here and in Ari-
zona.”
A Times reporter say Mr. Bailey at
the Sheldon yesterday, but he refused
to talk for publication, saying that as
yet his enterprise was simply a pros-
pect. He wanted the matter kept
quiet until he is ready to give out in-
formation. but The Times man heard
it discussed in several business offices
yesterday anil it can not be kept a
secret.
dent Burns stated that the overtures
made by the syndicate looking to an
extension of the option, which expires
.laimary 31 at midnight, would not be
renewed.
“Is there any probability that an-
other option will he granted or that
the sale of the property to the syndi-
cate will finally be consummated?”
was asked of Mr. Burns.
“I think not,” he said. "However, I
can not say positively until after the
annual meeting next week at Council
Bluffs.”
"Is that not a practical admission
♦hat the deal has not altogether fallen
through?”

With Being Interested in Standard
Oil Company.
Austin, Tex., Fob. 1.—In the district

gating $3,ii;;:.r»uo.
The defendants in the first suit are
the .1. M. Guff* y Petroleum company

company, both of Beaumont. In tills
case the state alleges in Its petition
that the Guffey company in 1902 ac-
quired a controlling interest in the
stock of the Beaumont Confederated,
which is alleged to have been done
for the purpose o* destroying compe-
tition and to control and limit the
output and sale of Hie Beaumont Con-
federated. It is alleged that the Guf-
fey Is a Standard Oil concern, which
is perpetually debarred by decree of
the United States supreme court from
doing business in Texas. The penal-
ties asked in this suit aggregate $2,-
250.000.
The defendants in the second suit
are the Gluf Refining company and
the Beaumont Confederated Oil and
Pipe Line company. It is alleged by
the state In this case that the defend-
ant companies entered into a contract
limiting Jhe output of the oil produc-
tion of the Beaumont Confederated
to 2000 barrels per day for a period
of one year, which is in violation of
the anti trust acts of 1899 and 1903.

gregate $900,000.

St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 1.—Reports
reaching this city are to the effect
that terrible blizzards have prevailed
luring the past three days in various
sections of Southern Illinois, Indiana
and Missouri. There has been a
heavy loss among the stock, and hay
and corn is advancin. II is cmkomary
among the farmers at this season of
the year to turn their cattle Into tin
cornfields where the corn has already
been gathered. But it is stated that
owing to the severity of the weather
he farmers have been obliged to be-
gin feeding their stork, and as a cun-
sequence the price of feed lias gone
up and a greater advance is antici-
pated. in many sections traffic lias
been dialed and the boats on the
lower river (mil bee:, tied up owing
to the heavy float of Ice from more
northern points.
Terrific Wind.

Ice Blockade.
Chicago, Fell. 1, -.....Surrounded by al-
most endless fields of floating and
anchored io". fifty men are fighting; lo
keep tlie intakes at Chicago's five
water cribr. free from blockades. Day
and night the watching continues.
Dtifl’or the last four weeks the men
have divided the work Into six hour
watches A little neglect ami a jam
in the ire fnr an hour would mean th -
starting of a water famine in Chicago,
minimizing fire protectin'! and caus-
ing hardships for 2.00(1,(mo people.
In tin' last twenty-five years there
lias not been as much ice on Lake
Michigan as now. Prevailing winds
from tlie west and northwest hove
kept it from piling up along (hi. "bore
A siitfi to the east nrobaldv would
mean masses along ilie line of the
break-waters
At tlie cribs the bnnictvdty of tlie
V" finer "in bo reilizid. Stretching
far into the lake, broken only in a
few places by clear water, the ice ex-
tends for miles until onlv the low
white line marked against the sky can
lie seen. Tlie erlbs themselves are a
lodging place for the great eaki s
where they freeze together, finally be-
ing forced to the bottom, where they
find a solid anchorage. Then more
ice drlfir against tin- frozen head, and
the wind and s. a pile them up until,
at the two mile crib, tin re are

While waiting for the gale to sub-
side. the Cars were lifted from the
rails by the wind and forced over on
their side. The passengers and crew
were thrown with great force against
the sides of the cars hut were able to
eseape through doors and windows.
It is believed Messenger Robinson’s
injuries were due to trunks falling
cki him. It was several hours before
news of the accident could he sent
to Denver as telephone and telegraph
wires were prostrated by the wind.
A special relief train sent from the
latter city encountered poles and
wires strewn over the track in many
places and with difficulty reached its
destination. The severely injured
were taken to a hospital in George-
town for treatment. The wind In this
vicinity and in Georgetown did con-
siderable damage. In the latter place
the roof of the Catholic church was
torn off and numerous other buildings
damaged. Traffic on this branch of
the Colorado & Southern was inter-
rupted for several hours.

gotiations, saying that the United
States had made in article 22 a sur-
render to fraud ami Iniquity und It
had done so under pressure from
France.
Discussing the terms of the treaty.
Morgan declared that in effect it had
been made between the United States
and tlie canal company, anil he said
the company “could afford to pay to
Panama $10,000,000 of her winnings
in a game which was without equal in
depravity."
Mr. Morgan traced the connection
of M Hunan Yariliu with the Panama
revolution and declared, according to
Ids own showing, Btinan Varilltt
should be pronounced persona non
grata In the United States. He as-
serted if a member of congress were
guilty of such conduct as Hunan Vnf
rilla lias been guilty of he would lie
marie the subject of "condign punish-
ment.'' He asserted the new Panama
Daniil company had never done an
honest .day’s work on the canal, and
declared the intrusion of that com-
pany into the controversy was offen-
sive and Intolerable.
"About tills treaty," he said, "there
is an atmosphere of degradation
against which the people revolt."
Mr. Morgan dosed with reference
to his long advocacy of an isthmian
canal and to tlie attitude of the south
tow ivd the canal project, saying that
section was still "unmoved' by utcr

"The people of the south will pity and
