OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER %, 1897.
AS TO RAILROAD FACILITIES.

The marked success met with by
Eddy Bros. in promoting the FL Paso
& Northeastern railway, a lice des-
tined to connect Ell Paso, Texas, with
Lincoln county, this Territory, coal
fields, and open up the richest min
eerral section Of New Mexico, a1d tbs
now beyond all dispute even of the
most skeptical, are matters which af-
ford pleasing anticipations as to other
similar enterprises on foot, and lead 10
deeper contemplation as to the actual
break that has occurred in the dead
lock of timidity and objection hitherto
entertained by capitalists to placing
their funds in western investments. 1t
also causes thoughts as to the future of
New Mexico, and the effects brought
about by the displacement of old meth
DDS of supplying remote points with
merchandise and carrying their pro-
ducts to market by the substitution of
the iron horse for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
four-footed team.
For several years past, promoting of
new railroads in New Mexico has been
a lost art. 1t was an impossibility
to enlist capital for that purpose or
attract and then retain the capitalists
attention. This state of affairs was
well known to those who had excel
lent and sound railroad propositions to
offer. 1t vas felt, however, that if
the ice conld once be broken, so to
speak, othors could be Quad who
would follow in the wake OF those who
had courage to take hold of enter
prlses requiring large outlays Of money.
and that the boldness of one set of men
would beget confidence in many.
The OPTIC believes that the con-
struction of the Ell Paso g. Northeast
ern railway will speedily be followed
by the Inauguration of other kindred
affairs, and success will attend their
promoters efforts. Confidence was all
that had been requisite that its restora-
ton has been emphatically commenced
a no longer be doubted, under the
evidence that all necessary capital to
construct and equip this railway has
been actually raised and is now in
bank.
1t is believed that all Of New Mexico
will join in congratulations to the
southern portion, so loon to receive
benefits, as it's good fortune can only ]
prove the reflection OF better times for
us up in this part of the Territory, as
we'll as The rest Of it. :

has been agreed upon solely on the !

The problem of transportation is going
to be serious one for ALASKA. In coun-
try which will not admit of railroads or
bicvcles. modern invention is forced to
take a back seat. The most sensible sug-
qestion yet made eTna "a ties from the
brair OF Rev. Sheldon Jackson, who was
formerly a missionary IN that coun-
try, and is now a United States agent.
BE goes all over the territory every sum-
mer, and pre- ebably has a more comprehen-
sive view of things than any other man
In the country. He says that reindeer viii
solve the problem of Alaskan transporta'
tion. They Will feed on moss, which
they reach by digging away the SHOW,
and thus ttse necessity of carrying food
for beasts Of burden Is obviated. They
are more gentle than horses, and much
tougher. and they can pull almost as
much as an OK. Mr.. Jacksen there
fore advises that herds of reindeer be In
troduced into the territory as soon as pos
sible. They win not only make valuable
draught animals, but their milk is good
and their skin vaIua bic for shoes apd
clothing: and their flesh is a deiicacy.
The reindeer was evidently evolved for
the especial convenience of the inhabi
tants of arctic regions.
