' Supplications and Pleadings To Call Off Sandstorms For When the mild winter melted into a 1 milder spring and no breath of wind j blew to disturb the serenity of a sum- ! merlike season, the weather prophets, the wise boys and the old inhabs. said it was all due to the grateful influ ence of old Hallev's approaching comet. A Sunday when the southern sun melted, poured itself over Easter El Paso in liquid warmth and gave this vale of tears the most perfect Easter it has ever known, these same wise ones arose en masse and declared the man blessea who has a little comet with a long tail for a pet When the west wind came romping over the smelter hill Monday morning and continued to romp on the natives for the remainder of the day and worked overtime on a night shift, the same aggregation of high brows looked wiser than a tree full of aboriginal "hoot mons," took a squint at the sil ver sun which was hanging like a toy Ogden.

But a little dust and dirt now and then is good for. etc No one kicked. Everyone was satis fied to let the comet have Its littel fling after such an ideal Easter, thanks to the same comic HtMe comet. No one Is even kicking today because the breeze is again breezing around corners with the sting of winter in its lash.

Please mister old man Halley, won't you call off your CERTAIN FOR THE FALL Chicago, III., March 20. James J. Hill believes the railroads will experience next fall and winter the greatest traffic congestion of their history, and he sees no way of preventing: it. "The tonnage offered the railroadi Is constantly on the Increase," said Mr. Hill! "From all indications It seems certain that by next fail or early winter the railroads will be totally unable to furnish anything: like the amount of trans portation facilities which will be demanded by the country. "I do not think the railroads are to blame for thin situation. They really ought to have about a billion and eight hundred millions annually to spend for the next few years to catch up with the growing demands made upon them. "But it is a vteli known fact that they cannot get this money under pre-sent conditions'. Until railroad credit Is restored and the American public has regain ed confidence In railroad securities, the public will have to continue to suffer for lack of railroad facilities." iron roof on the Globe flour mills was blown off in such a manner that new Iron will haveto be substituted. About 20 square feet of the roof was jarred loose by the force of the wind, but no further damage was done. HEAVY SNOW FALLING IN WY03IING AND NEBRASKA. Cheyenne, Wyo., March -29.
