One hundred and thirty-two miles
will be saved by the proposed change
OF the mail-routes running into the
mountain sections of Lincoln and Doua
Ana counties. A comparison of the
following distances will show the re-
suit: Las Cruces via Organ, Mesca-
lero, and Ruidoso to Fort stanton 141
miles: San Antonio via White Oaks,
Nogal, and Gray to Fort Stanton 1l9
miles; Stanton to Lincoln 9 miles max
ing a total distance of 269 miles for the
routes now in operation and which are
to be discounted in November next.
Distances between stations of the new
routes are as follows: AlamogordO via
La Luz, Tularosa. and Nogal to White
Oaks 20 miles; Tulsrosa via Mescslero
to Ruidoso 33i miles; Nogal via Gray
and Stanton to Lincoln 81 miles; Las
Cruces to Organ l3 miles, makiug a to-
tai of 49, miles, thereby saving the pre-
sent expense to government of operat-
ing 269-l37 equals 1872 miles. The
above figured shows the principal cause
for the change in our present mail
service, and in sufficient to warrant a
change from a financial stand point If
