Dear SIR WAS advised by W A.
York a. write you and see II thsrs was
any show for u game, gay july tth and
9th, IN Albuquerque. We have the
strongest amateur team Ia Denver, hav.
ing won eleven out u twelve games in
Central City, Black Hawk, I1abo
Springs, Greeley and at home.
] am confident We could give you q good
exhibition OF ball playing. Mr.. York is
playing short stop on my team. Hoping
to hear from you at once,
am Yours, VALLEY NEviss,
Mang. Moore Is. B. Club.
II isto he regretted that Albuquerque,
Tor the time being, will miss the oppor.
tunity on the Fourth of seeing her favor
itc club, the Maroons, tackle Denver
club. II would be II great drawing card
Tor the city, but the Driving Park asso-
citation will hold races that day, and thus
the home club can not make satisfactory
terms, However, later in the season, an
effort will be made 10 get either the "San
den Electric" or "Moors's" club 10 visit
the city.
DENVER AND NEW MEXICO.
Some ot our friends at I4as Vegas
seen - be very much provoked because
the Denver papers insist that Denvers
iirst connection witis Eew Mexico should
be 10y way Of the Denver 4 lilo Grande,
down the valley from Espanola 10 Albu.
querque, And yet this is u proposition
that certainly could not be questioned
by any clear headed and fair minded
man. The richest part Of the territory
would be tapped by such road; II
would come direct ~ the business and
railroad center Of the country, and would
therefore have q fair chance to secure ita
share OF Whatever traffic tho country
produces, whereas road running
through the territory n hundred miles
a. one side ~ the business center, would
have the benefit oi any such local bust
meas M II could gather up along its line.
AZ We have said before, Wa believe the
projected line from Trinidad, down
through New Mexico 70 FL Paso, 10 one
that would lie of great value 10 the
country, because Il would stimulate set-
tlement and development, and would
thus create business in q portion of the
territory where but little eAists u pres
ont, and being crossed north OF White
Oaks by the Pecus valley road, II would
afford to the people OF all that portion
OF the territory east of the mountains an
outlet Ia Albuquerque. II In road that
would benefit the country, and one that
will sometime be built, but without any
desire Ia prejudice the enterprise We are
forced 10 admit that the scheme is not
! practicable at the present time. IL il u
20 long l!ne, and il would require great
a deal ot capital 10 build It. When money
I becomes 10 plenty that people are will
Q ing TO invest in enterprises from which
/ no dividends arc expected till the oouu-
q try has become developed, there will 10
n good chance of securing the capital
!. necessary to build line OF that charac.
n ter. But such plethora OF money does
;, not exist at present, and il 10 utterly use
II, les,s 10 go on the market with ths bonds
~ any proposed railroad or other enter
= prise that cannot show reasonable
!, probability OF prompt returns. The pro
=. posed extension Of the Denver 4 Rio
Grands from EspGnola TO Albuquerque
ia one Of the few enterprises that can
- comply with tho present demands Ut cap
u ital and show a profitable business
IN ready and waiting Tor II. This would
10 involve the building oi only eighty miles
y Of road. II would not be an experiment
'r or an uncertainty, II would not hav'
D. 10 wait Tor its business I'll the country
" might be developed, for tho business u
already here, and IL would enter upon\i
% profitable traffic as soon as lts trains
% were ready TO run.
10 We have no disposition 10 throw
I' straw in the way Of any proposed rail
e. way enterprise IN New MEXICO. Oh th'
u other hand, IL in To our interest 70 on
10 oourage and assist all such undertakings
D. for they all help the territory, and what
ever helps the territory helps Albuquer
ls que, but We do not think IL wise, nor ~
II. exhibition OF good business judgment
IN 10 waste on impthcticable schemes the
~ time and energy that ought 10 10 gwen
ia To the accomplishment OF something
n practicable.
