Winkler, one of the engiheera of the
Orient Railroad, says that the entire
line Is finally located now with the ex-
ception of about sixty kilometers.
He says that ao far aa work has pro-
gressed a two and one half per cent
compensated grade Is the heaviest the
road will have to contend with. The
line of road keeps upon the high coun-
try between Urique River and Septan
tlon Arroyo, a little over ten kilome-
ters westward from Boyconya, until
Matote Mountain is reached at a point
where the road can get down to the
westward. Thl9 can only be done by
aeeriesof loops. Some idea of this
can be had when It is stated that at
one point five tracks of road when
completed can be seeu. Yet the grade,
as stated, Is being maintained and
lessened where possible.

—The rules governing return transpor
tation on live stock shipments are
chaDged:
Heretofore, the return limit on dro
vers’ passes on account of shipment
of live stock other than horses and
mules has been twenty days. Hereaft
er the return limit will be forty eight
hours after the shipment reaches des-
tination. Heretofore, the return limit
on drovers’ passes on shipments of
horses and mules has been sixty days.
Hereafter the return limit will be
twenty days.
It is contended by railroads that
forty tight hours after the cauls reach
destination affords ample time for the
tender to dispose of the stock, reach
account sales and start on bis return
trip.
Inasmuch as It requires a longer
time to dispose of a carload of horses
or mules than It does to dispose of a
like number of cattle, sheep or hogs,
the return limit on passes Issued on
aooount of shipments of horses or
mules Is made longer.
This does not affect shipments be
tween points in Texas.
