Supplies Received Yesterday and Con
stmetion of Big Pearson Mills
Is Rushed
With more than 200 men at work i
the construction of the big Pearson j
milts is now well under way. The j
last of the adobe houses are being j
torn down and construction on the
box, sash and door factory has been
started.
The box, sash and door factory will
be 400x500 feet. The foundation will
be in the form of large cement pyra-
mids, laid about twenty feet apart.
The flooring, which will be of wood,
will be laid on these cement blocks.
Yesterday two carloads of cement,
containing 2,000 sacks, were received
and the work of making the pyramids
has already begun. A large e'ement
mixer was also received yesterday.
About twenty of the wooden forms
for the pyramids have been put in
place. They range from five and one-
half feet square to e ight feet square _
at the base. At the top Is an opening ,
about a foot square through which
the cement will be poured. The top
of the pyramids will be. flat.
on account of the sandy composi-
tion of the ground It was found ne-
cessary to have a very heavy hast- for
the mill. The pyramids will be placed
Irom ten to twenty feet apart and
will form a solid foundation.
Work on the branch track, which
connects with the Mexico North-West-
ern railway bridge, is being pushed
and the rail laying will begin in about
a week. On the mill site the grading
has been slight, but on the west side
of South Stanton street it has been
necessary to make a large fill. This
is being constructed of rock and
earth. The track will cross the street
car tracks and the 101 Paso A South-
western railroad tracks, it will oe
about 2,000 feet long.
The switch track from the Texas
A Pacific and Southwestern tracks is
now In operation. This track is only
to be temporary and has not been
"anchored." When the preliminary
construction work is completed this
track and the one contracting with
the North-Western will run beside the
factory. In the Southwestern switch
some little trouble has been experi-
enced with the shifting sands and It
has been found necessary to put up
board sldl igs to keep tbo embank-
ment In place. This track has been
built for a distance of about 700 feet.

pleted yesterday afternoon with the
driving of the golden spike. The line
tween Pearson and Madera. The driv-
ing of the spike was witnessed by
many persons, although no govern-

for passenger traffic by the first of
March,” said T. K, Ryan, traffic
manager of the North-Western yes-
terday. “The spike was driven at
4:30 o'clock this afternoon. This
means that the rails are all in place,
but there. Is still much ballast work
to be done. When the line is all in.

practically the same time In every
part of the United States.
This country has been especially
solicited to come to the aid of suffer-
ing China. President Taft recently
issued an appeal for aid. and Amer-
ican missionaries in China have been
active In bringing about some na-
tional organized action. While tho
churches are more or less active in
this regard, the Red Cross society
will push an organized campaign for
funds. Clothing is of little or no
value, it is pointed out, as the cost of
shipping is greater than the price of
purchase in the orient.
The situation is one that may well
engage, the philanthropic Interest of
the world. The Suchien missionaries
estimate that there are 1,000,000 per-
sons in their district alone, not in-
cluding Tsingkinagpu and jother
purts of North Kiangsu, who need re-
lief this winter if they are to endure
until spring. To include North An-
hui, parts of which are very needy,
the region around Wuhu, where the
.sanest reports today put the number
of men who should be kept at work
at 100,000 (this not including their
wives and children), 3,000,000 per-
sons as a total is a fair estimate of
the fumlne sufferers of this year,
say 600,000 families. Reckoning at
10 cents gold per day the cost of
supporting a family, it would need at
least 815 gold per family from Dee.
1 to the end of April. If the Famine
committee had $700,000 (gold), as
last year, it could support only 50,-
000 out of a total of 500,000 families.

MURPHY AND HOGAN DRAW
IN THE FRISCO FIGHT
Associated Press Dispatch.
San Francisco. Jan. 31.—Harlem
Tommy Murphy of New York, and
“One-Ropnd” liogan of San Francis-
co fought twenty rounds to a draw
here tonight. The decision was well
received by the crowd.
From the start Murphy showed a
desire for infighting and the referee
was kept busy forcing the men apart.
Murphy hit w'ell in the clinches but
refused to take any chances at dis-
tant fighting. Hogan’s favorite blow
was a stiff left which he landed
nearly every time that Murphy came
into a clinch.
In the eighth round Hogan sent
Murphy to the ropes and the New
Yorker palpably was in a bad way.
In the ninth Murphy was against the
ropes when the bell rang. Murphy
landed the greater number of blows
and did the more telling work In the
close fighting but at no time was the
local boy tn any apparent danger.
In tho tenth, Hogan caught Mur-
phy a hard right on the eye and a
second or so later was bleeding at the
mouth from a hard left.
The majority of the rounds were
even, but in the eighteenth Mur-
phy rushed matters and had all the
better of the round.
His punches carried a sting while
those of Hogan had lost their force.
The last round found both men fight-
ing hard, Murphy repeatedly rushing
into clinches. He slowed up at the
end. Hogan having landed several
hard rights while pushing Murphy
out of clinches.
