The present outlook for STA tehood for New
Mexico is anything but promising. The utter
absence of deccncy on the part of federal
officials in divertng the last territorial legis-

many reputable people here, do not believe

THE WHITE OAKS ROAD.
Work Begun in n Small Way to
Hold Rights Until Conditions
are Fulfilled.

El Paso Herald
This morning a force OF eight teams
belonging to Bob Marlin went to work
ut Tenth and Stanton streets throwing
dirt for the White Oaks railway, but
this is not at all conclusive evidence
that the line will be built, the railway
people frankly admit. 1t will b re
membered that Mr., Eddy has all along
stated that the building OF the road
would depend on coal supply iirst an d
secondly the raising Of the bonus which
he had told capitalists would be givea
by Ell Paso as an offset for the lack Of
profit for the year after construction
ends. The coal supply Is not determin
ed upon yet nor is the bonus completed.
But in order that the agreement to be
gIn active work by March should not be
violated the present force was employed
for temporary work. This intention has
existed for some weeks, has not been
secret and it is not yet time for growing
as can be judged by the following
letter addressed to the committee:
Ell PASO, FEB. %, 1896
s. H. BUCHANAN, Chairman
Without having formal report from the
committee on Ell Paso's subsidy, to the
proposed White Oaks enterprise, am
assured by some Of The members thereof
that the amonnt so far subscribed is
conslderab' y less than the amount the
committee hoped, and, as / understand
still hopes to raise. The time consum.
cd by the committee and iu completing
the surveys has been longer than wat
anticipated. The contracts of those
subscribing require the work to com,
mence by March LIST, 1896. AS matter
of fact great deal of railroad work hat
already been done amounting to severa
thousand dollars, but | think best tt
commence actual construction we'll be
fore March LIST, yet both on account o.
not having a final report from YOU
committee and of the delayed surveyor
think it right to commence such con
struction work conservatively increasing
the same to the maximum as soon a
final and favorable reports from you

sources ore received and contracts car
be let. With this understanding con
struction work will commence Februar.

KEEPING ROADS SMOOTH.
Why Every state in the Union Should
Pass Wide Tire Laws.

Why Every state in the Union Snould
Pass Wide Tire Laws.
Abiding to the wide tire law of Con-
necticut, the Springfield Republican de-
clares that it is an eminently wise and
reasonable enactment, and the only
wonder is that people have to be forced
by legal measures into doing what is so
plainly for their wv interest. No
other single element except ignorant
road-making adds so much to the heavy
burden of supporting the highways as
the use of narrow tires, which cut up
the roads instead of ironing them
smoothly down. Look at the beautiful
glossy path which the ~bicyclists make
for themselves at the edge of the road,
before the puddles are fairly dried up,
and then at the bottomlesS ABYSS
plowed by the loaded wagons, and one
has the whole thing in a nutshell. The
pneumatic bicycle tire, by ~fiattening at
the point of impact with the road, has
IL the effect of a wide tire combined
with n comparatively light weight.
The horses hoofs chop up the road
somewhat. but this is nothing in com-
parison with the deep cuts of the mar
row g FIRES on vehicles carrying
heavy loads. If reasonably good roads
are made in the first place and vehicles
are equipped with tires, with some
thing near the same proportion of
weight to width, as the tires of a BIZ
cycle. and with the tread of the rear
wheel wider than those of the front
wheels, so as not to follow in the same
path, the surface of roads would not be
rutted, but on the contrary the wheels
would serve as rollers to roll the roads
down hard and make them better. 1t
seems rather a travesty on common
sense. as has been well said, to tax the
public to purchase expensive rollers to
smooth down the highways and then
permit narrow-tired wagons to cut
them up at their own sweet will. The
more economical way would be to make
rollers out of the wagons by putting
wide tires on them.

In picking grapes do not touch the

If horticulturists want to improve

touch with each other.
To have a good crop of strawberries

Hints on wintering Turnips.

While turnips will stay out and grow
larger, better and sweeter through
early frosts, still they are so exposed
hat a severe cold snap will spoil them.
turnips are pitted three to four feet
deep and wide. Rutabagas require
warmer quarters, and it is best to give
them some ventilation. Somehow, they
absorb more heat. and when confined
are more likely to spoil. Parsnips and
carrots should have pits not over three
feet wide and should not be piled over
three feet deep at the highest point

There is great confusion IN the nom.

age varies from round AID entire 10
split or lobed, while the flesh also varies,
when lobed, from dry and mealy to soft
and mushy. The latter cases have re-

well as among growers. This excellent
