This southern country has long been
noted for its extra fine fruit products,
and as a sample of what can be accom-
plished here in that line. Manager j.
a. Eddy of the White Oaks road has

from the orchards of La Luz where one
orchard, that of Perry Kearney, yield
ed the past season over 100000 pounds
of apples, and the boxes are being
shipped to New York City and Scran-
ton Pa, for the stockholders and direc-
tors OF the White Oaks road to sample
and realize more than ever the valua-
BILE nature of the country throug b
which the road is 10 run. The ship
ment includes the Ben Davis, Missouri
Pippin, dark and light Wine Saps,
Bell Flower, Mill Sap white winter
Pearmaiu aud Orange ounces as large

The New Railroad.

1t is probable thai work will soon be
begun on the railroad from Ell PasO to
White Oaks. This is line which the
southeastern part of New Mexico has
long needed. When completed it will
open up section of country said to
contain valuable natural resources,
and, in any event; it will give an out
let to the large deposits of gold known
10 exist in the immediate vicinity of
White Oaxs.-Denver Republican,.
There is nothing probable about
this; on the contrary, it is an assured
fact. Besides, the mineral around
White Oaks is very minor considera-
zion in this enterprise. Tue Ell Paso
81 Northeastern railway is being built
primarily to tap the extensive coal
fields at the Salado and to supply the
large and growing market for coal and
coke at Ell PasO and in our sister repub-
lie to the south.
The section of country through
which the road passes does, in all truth
and sOberness, contain very valuable
and extensive agricu. tural, pastoral,
timber, mineral and coal resources.
Facts are stubborn things, especially
in this case.-New Mexican.
