Delegates to the lei Paso Railway Con
yention Organize a New Railroad
Company for New Mexico.

The Ell Paso railroad convention, called
to consider plans for extending the Union
Pacific line from Catskill, Colfax county,
through the Maxwell land grant and the
Mora valley, via Las Vegas. and White

plan for organizing corporation to build
such road. The election OF officers of the
new company and the arrangement of de-
tails are being attended to to-day, and in
a few days articles of incorporation will
be filed here with the territorial secretary.
The plan also provides that the old survey
from Ell Paso to White Oaks be accepted
and that party be put in the field at once
to make preliminary survey from White
Oaks to Trinidad, or rather to Catskill,
which is the present terminus of the Union
Prcific's Maxwell grant spur running
southwest from Trinidad.
A splendid showing of new traffic
for the proposed line was made at the
convention. The delegates from the
various points went to work theoretically
some months ago, and have made such
an exhibit of vital facts and figures as will
certainly attract the attention of men in
search of western investments.
The project contemplates branches
through Taos pass into the Taos valley
and through Canon Blanco, along the Rio
Galsteo to Cerrllos' coal and mineral
fields in south Santa Fe county.

Mr.. CATRON ON STATEHOOD.
What Representative Citizen Tells a
st. Louis Paper on an Impor-
tant Subject.

Says st. Louis journal: Hon. 7. B.
Catron, Of Santa Fe, N. M, one OF the
most prominent and best informed men
in the southwest. has been at the South
ern hotel several days. Said he: "The
people of New Mexico to day are unit
for admission as state. This was brought
about by the operation Of what is known
as the anti-alien law. The law was passed
on March 3, 1887, by congress, prohibit
ing all aliens and alien corporations from
owning real estate in the territory, in
Guiding mine property, and it drove most
of the foreign capital away. The terri
tory contains over 100000 people.
The last legislature passed very
liberal school law, requiring the teaching
of the English language. Ninety per cent
of the children Of school age attend
schools. Thecschcol buildings are scat
tered in every part of the territory, and
wherever there are fifteen children you
will find school district. The constitu-
ton prepared last year was voted on and
rejected by the people, owing to local
causes and because of certain clauses
which tended to prejudice people in GER
tain parts of the territory. The Demo-
cratic party opposed it because its mem
bers believed the apportlonment of rep
resentatives in the legislature was unfair
to them. Nevertheless, it was recognized
in other quarters as being fair. AS long
as the territory's principal officials are ap
pointed by the federal government it can
not prosper"
