The Ell Paso Times intimates that some
of the people Of Denver are trying to
defeat the project for the construction of a
railroad from Trinidad to Ell Paso via Las
Vegas and White Oaks. How it is pos.
sible for any FL Paso man to form such an
idea is a mystery, in view of all that has
| been said in the Denver papers in favor of
| that project. Denver is heartily in favor of
the Las Vegas-White Oaks project, and
there will be a good delegation of Denver
men in attendance at the Ell Paso conven-
ton on September q. Owing to an
unsccountabIe blindness, the Ell Paso
people are Indifferent to the project of ex-
tension of the Denver & Rio Grande
through New Mexico to Ell Paso. Because
it was suggested in these columns that
the Ell Paso convention should consider
both the Las Vegas-White Oaks project
and the Rio Grande extension in the
same convention, the Ell Paso Times has
jumped to the conclusion that the pur-
pose Of the suggestion was to injure the
first named project. The extension of
the Rio Grande to FL Paso would be of
enormous benefit to that town, and it
would not in any way whatever conflict
with the road from Trinidad to Ell Paso,
viewed from the FL Paso standpoint.
Denver wants both roads and so does Ell
Paso, but the Times does not appear to
appreciate how both lines would benefit
its town. If the people of Ell Paso would
only consider how, by reason of its rela-
ton to the Gulf of Mexico on the one
hand and the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona on the other, Ell Paso is to
become great wholesale city they would
not cry ont against suggestion to secure
for them better rail connection with New
Mexico-Denver Republican.
