TO BEGIN LAYING
STEEL IN 30 DAYS
C. H. & G. Grade Soon to Receive
Ties and Rails—Work Progres-
sing Rapidly.
On his return from New York,
Mr. Cullen, Manager of the South-
western Engineering & Construction
Company, gives out the information
that the roadbed will be ready to
receive the ties and steel in thirty
days. Shipping orders have been
sent for ties and rails and as.soon as
the first shipment arrives the work
will begin. The first construction
train will operate from Hereford
north instead of from Adrian as first
contemplated, and the company will
not wait for the Rock Island to ex-
tend its line to the junction.
The two grading outfits are push-
ing their work as rapidly as is pos-
sible, one on this end, the other up
the line. The latter is now at the
Paladuro draw near the new town-
site of Scherer. It is near this
place that a heavy fill is required
and a big concrete culvert is to be
put in. The contractor has a large
force of Mexican laborers out there
now breaking rock for the concrete
work. The company, however, is
having some difficulty in finding
suitable sand. They expect to find
a bed on the draw, but so far have
found but small patches. It will be
necessary to wait until the steel is
laid to the draw before this work
can be completed. Hereford is now
about to realize what she has hoped
for these many days—a second rail-
road.

Will sell you anything in the
building line and make no
effect to please you, as our
grades will do that. We are
born to do right and deserve
ao praise for it.
BRIGHTEN UP
With Slufwin.nrllllimt Paint
Christmas, should give occasion for
that long-postponed Boosterfest.
The Southwestern Engineering and
Construction Company, who has the
contract to build this line, has not
lost a day since its officers landed in
the city. They have gone on with
the work without much talk or news-
paper interviews; in fact, Mr. Cul-
lin, the vice-president and general
manager, does not seek notoriety
thru "hot air" speels. He thinks a
business proposition must bs treated
in a business like way. Then,
sooner than the citizens ever expect-
ed and long before the terms of the
contract, the first whistle of the first
engine of Hereford's second road
will be heard.
The Angell's Playing The Devil.
It is not often that so high a per-
sonage as an angel engages in the
passtime of "Playing the Devil,"
bat that is just what will happen at
the opera house tonight. Some folks
may not know what it is to "play
the Devil," but many Brand readers,
no doubt, are conversant with the
attitude and antics of such a perfor-
mance, but for an angel to stoop so
low is certainly "falling from morn
till dewey eve." But the climax of
the story is greater. The Angell's
have been playing all the week to
full houses at the opera house in
Hereford, despite the fact that the
mercury column has stood around
the freezing point and, at times,
dropping down the tube to as low as
17 degrees. But the bitter cold
seemed to simply give spirit and snap
to the nightly shows on both sides
of the footlights. The repertoire of
plays of the Angells covers a wide
range. The specialties have been
unusually good, introducing many
new features—nothing old or chest-
nut-colored being^put on. The illus-
trated songs by Eric Carrington were
pleasing and well received by all
the play-goers.
Last night the company gave
Robert Louis Stevenson's master-
piece, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,"
in which Mr. Baxter Newton carried
the part that made Richard Mans-
field famous. Mr. Newton in this
double-natured character was at his
best carrying with him the plaudits
and sympathy of the audience. The
entire play was, by far, the best ever
placed on the boards in Hereford.
The support given the leading char-
acter was good and added to the
success of the performance.
A Bargain.
For the next 30 days we will offer
two tracts of land for sale, each
tract consisting of 300 acres, one
tract four and a half miles from
town, the other six and a half miles
from town. This is all good farm
land, and well worth the money we
are asking. Write us for informa-
tion. Murchiion & Jones,
