Grading Was commenced yesterday on
the AlamOgOrdo Il Sacramento Mountain
railway by George s., Good n Co., con.
Tractors, and IL il expected to be finished
in three months. This road will be In di.
rect contrast to the main line, OF the III
Paso Il Northeastern, being a wonderful
piece Of mountain road. climbing from
an elevation OF 1900 feet az Alamogordo
to 5000 feet ut the summit, a distance Of
twenty five miles. The maximum grade
Is five per cent and maximum curvature
thirty degrees with standard gauge. This
Is beyond anything ever attempted even
by the celebrated Denver & Rio Grande.
Although the road IL being built for
ordinary commercial business, the scenic
and health and pleasure resorts will
afford an immense resouree 10 the road.
The construction Of this road with Its
almost continuous rock work, the manu-
facture aud hauling OF the ties aud tim
Der used, and other works incident TO the
enterprise In the numbering, wood cut
ting and hauling, the construction Of
water pipe lines and the building OF
Alamo GOrdO and other towns will give
employment to an army OF men and
teams, the most Of which must come into
nj Paso for supplies.
Homesteaders are rapidly taking up the
lands OF the Sacramento mountains, and
in a very few months not an acre OF val
liable land will be left. The III PasO h
Northeastern will be completed to Alamo
Gordo about June FIRST, and the lots Of
Alamo Gordo placed on the market at
that time.-El Paso Tribune.

The Sad Death of Mr.. Richard TAYLOR
All WILD LUCIA YESTERDAY.

Shreveport Times, Friday, June %
About 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing death, like an unwelcome visitor,
entered the little town of Wild Lucia
and forever stilled the voice of Mr..
Richard Taylor, one of its most en-
terprising and beloved young busi-
ness men. He had been sick for
some time with swamp fever, which
neither love, care nor medical skill
could successfully combat. He had
been very low for some time and
two or three days ago all hope was
abandoned that he would recover.
Mr.. Taylor formerly lived in this
city, having been employed by Mr..
Sam Ben as collector. He
made many friends here and by his
integrity and honest dealing won
the admiration and confidence of the
business public. He went from this
place to Wild Lucia, and with Mr..
w. A. Abncy as his partner set up
business, general merchandising, for
himself. He rapidly made friends
there and was securing for himself
and little family nice competency
when stricken by the remorseless
hand of disease.
Mr.. Taylor was born and raised in
Homer and is connected with the
best families in that region. He
leaves wife and two children, who
have the heartfelt sympathy of all
in their great bereavement.
The remains we're brought here
yesterday and embalmed by Under
taker Waring, and will be sent to
Homer for interment this morning.
Deceased was about 80 years of age,
and his sad death is the cause of
much regret and sorrow.
