SIDIICS MO IMIN UK
Went Laid This Week Unloading Ma
torial aud Awaiting Commissary
Dept. and Pilo Driver.
Tho Times man paid a vi*it to
the sceno of Orient coUHt ruction
activities on tho west sido of town
Tuesday morning and looked over
the work accomplished during the
past wook. Tho construction
force is making things hum, and
when they get fairly strung out
at tracklaying, will, rapidly eat
up the distance between Altus
aud Clinton. At present they
are workiug only about a half
foroe, the uou arrival of the pile
drive,, commissary department
and othpr matters prevent tliem
from doiug their best work.
Material is also arriving at such
a lively rate that it keeps a good
part of the force busy unloading
aud oaring for that. 1 he side
track on the west of the main
track was completed and the
switches put in Tuesday, and the
maiu line hits been extended
north some distauce. I his new
sidiug will help out considerably
iu caring for the new material.
Another sidiug, probably on the
east side of tho maiu track, is to
be commenced at once.
The commissary department,
which started from St. Louis overj
ten days ago. has not yet arrived,
aud the meu are wouderiug what
has delayed it so. As soon as it
gets here the boardiug cars will
be fitted up aud the men will take
their meals on the grounds,
j Mr. Hart, foreman of the steel
1 laying gang, says he finds the
! roadbed in excellent conditiou
1 after its six years of waiting for
i the steel, and that very little sur-|
| faciug has beeu necessary to put
I it iu readiness for the track. The
i years have allowed the dump to
[settle thoroughly, aud it is as
(solid as if trains had beeu ruu-
uiug over it. Couductor Burns
has been somewhat uuder the
weathor with rheumatism the
past few days, the damp weather
having affected him unfavorably.
He will be all right as soon as
i he gets used to this salubrious
| climate.

Trip to Orient Yards.
A party of four youug geutle-
meu from the McCouuell housv
arranged a pleasant trip to the
Orient railroad yards Sunduy af
teruoou for the benefit of their
young lady friends, whom they
accompanied. Hemphill's bus
was engaged and about 0:80 tho
party was driven to tho spot
which has been the scene of so
much activity the last few weeks.
Aft^r covering the ground thor-
oughly iu that portion of town
the youug folks were driven to
the oil mill pond, where "consid-
erable time was spent tryiug to
throw across the water. From
here the crowd returued home,
after speudiug a very pleasant,
evening. The members of tho
party were Misses Buttery, Ay
cock, Auderson, Hightower; Mes-
srs. Russell, Belliuger, Holt,

"One of the Grey-jackets" is
the title of an odd little story iu
the June McCl tire's, iu which E.
Crayton McCants tell of oue Leo's
brave color-sergeants who lost his
command at Appomattox Court
house, and did not find it agaiu
until '98 ou tho crest of San Juau
Hill. A most valorous and
brave figure of a man is Brethitt
and the story of his life as depic
iu Mr.McCants' tale is captivat-
ing.

619 MILES OF ROAD
What the Orient Has Accomplished and
What It Expects to Do in the
Year 1907.
Officials* of the Kausas City
Mexico aud Orient say that the
610 miles of road which they have
iu operatiou will be increased to
1,100 miles soon after beginning
of the year. In Mexico they have
covered oue half of the territory
they intended to occupy. - They
have completed there 825 miles of
the 085 miles they are to build.
In constructing this 825 miles
many obstacles have been over-
come. The grade over the moun-
tains there is 2$ per cent compe-
nsated by curves; this is less than
that of the Santa Fe iu several
places. It is about the same as
that of the Great Northern Pa-
cific.
Local traffic will be the strong
feature of the road. It will not
cross any barren waste. Sonora,
they say, is to Mexico what Cali-
fornia is to this country. The
whole state can be irrigated easily.
It produces ninety-seven differ-
ent kinds of tropical fruit. Gre.Mi
corn and strawberries may ho had
there every day in the year.
There are 4,000,000 acres bf
authracite coal iu the state.
Arrangements have been" maue
with the Hamburg-American
line tor steamers to ruu iu con-
' nectiou with the road. They will
be put luto service as soon as the
road is completed. There also
will be a diract liue of steamers
to the Orient.—State Capital.

Arrives to Investigate the Shortage
of Frisco Cashier.

ier of tho Frisso railroad, and]
; cashier of a bank at Monroeville, j
1 Ohio, arrived iu Altus Saturday
I to look after his brother's atlairs, j
I Mr. Powley is a gentleman of
Mpleasiug address aud evidently a
, good busiuess mati. He was uot
Miong iu learning all there was to
Uearn regarding the disappearance
' | of his brother.
Station Agent Snyder succeed- j
•d in forcing the combination of!
• the Frisco safe last week, and th" j
-ash drawer revealed the presence
of only $25 md a copper cut.!
Nothing has b**en heard from th»j
missing cashier since he left, hut
it is believed that thq Frisco offi
rials and the American Surety
Co. have pretty good information
as to his exact whereabouts,
j While here Mr Powley mad"
arrangements for the disposal of
bis brother's household goods aud
straightened up some of his af-
fairs, leaving for home Tuesday

Dr. Liebig, the famous German Chemist, says that
beer is "liquid bread." Bythis he means that beer
is a food—fall of life-giving, health-sustaining qualities.
The value of beer as a fdod is becoming well
known, and it is now used by many who have
hitherto looked upon it as a beverage only.
Pabst
BlueRibbon
The Beer of Quality
is the most nourishing of all beers—because it contains cvcrY
particle of the healthful, wholesome nutriment of the malt and
all the tonic properties of the hops from which it is made.
The Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process follows nature by
slowly transforming the substance of the barley into pure,
nutritious food The- quality of the materials used and the Pabst
method of brewing make Pabst Blue Ribbon not only a pure
beer, but a healthful, tissue-building, muscle-building, life-giving,
"liquid bread." Drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, and you put
health and strength into your system.
When ordering beer, ask for Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Made by Pabst at Milwaukee
And bottled only at the Brewery.
