A New County.

The project to cut off portions CT
SocOrro, Grant and Dona Ana counties
and from the slices make q new county
i, being dgitated, and the proposition
will be urged before the New Mexico
assembly ut the session which will con-
e n next Monday. The scheme is the
conception Of Nick GALES and he will
doubtless do his best to put it through.
The country which it is purposed to
embrace in the new county eXpends
from Ojo Caliente on the north to Fort
Cummings on the south: from a line
running some fifteen miles east Of En-
gle on the east to the summit of the
Black range of mountains on the west,
making an area of some sixty miles
square. Mr.. Gales being a Hillsboro
man has, naturally, fixed the bounda-
ries to give his town the best chance at
securing the county seat, and of course
hasn't shaped the tract just as this Sec
ton would most like, yet noUwithstand-
ing, the petition asking for the change
was almost unanimously signed by the
people here. They are in the condition
in regard to county relationship which
ImpelS them to cry out for "a change
and to not be too %tastidiOus as to the
exact nature of the same. 1t is also
argued that with this proposed division
we will at once enjoy the pleasure of
enlightened county officials and %juries,
and if in the future this section shall lie
sufficiently populOgs to justify a new
division it will be no harder to get it
because of this.
The north end of the Black range is
not in so urgent need of this proposed
change as is Kingston and the Percha,
for down there the county lines are so
indistinct that there is no certainty OF
having records rightly made unless the
the three counties of DOna Ana, Grant
and SocorrO are %patroniZed. but still the
weight of the argument is decidedly in
favor of the change and is not to be re-
butted by the increased inconvenience
of a journey to Hillsboro over "A TRIP
to SoCOrTo.
One year ago when this new county
project was originated, the RANGE OPP
posed it on the ground of their being
50 little taxable property in the district
to be cut off, but the unexpected rage
for title which has prevailed during
the past twelve months has changed
this aspect Of the cast materially and
made lis abundantly able to provide fol
ourselves. The RANGE has slight eX.
p~ection of this division being made
this winter, but the attempt a do nc
harm.
