Get up and GIL"

1t is within the bounds of truth to as
sert that southeastern New Mexico, that
part of the territory comprising Lincoln,
Chaves, Eddy and a portion of Dona
Ana counties, is blooming" Railroads
are building, towns are springing up,
and business of all kinds is on the up
grade to a remarkable degree. And
some people wonder why it is.
There is nothing strange about it at
all. The secret of the change that is
working in that part of the territory is
compressed into four words-''get up
and git" That section is no more fay
ored as to climate, soil and advantages
than other sections of New Mex
leo. Just as many difficulties have
had to be overcome and equally as
much money has been spent as would be
required to bring Santa Fee to the front;
the only difference lies in the citizens.
Down there, when anything that prom
Uses to build up a community is started
everyone takes hold and pushes it TIC
success. 1t is not many years ago when
that section of the territory was regard
ed as a little outside of civilization, and
yet it is now attracting more attention
among investors and homeseekers than
the older parts of New Mexico. Irriga'
ton schemes are numerous, railroads
are spanning the plains and climbing
the mountains, a beet sugar factory il
in successful operation, mines are open
ing; all the result of "get up and git"
In these conditions there is a lessor
for Santa Fe that should be easily
learned. The natural advantages of the
Santa Fe and Espanola valleys are equa
to those of the Pecos; the climate Il
without doubt better, and as a bee
sugar raising country cannot be ex
celled. All that is necessary to make
prosperous, thriving community OF tn
city Of Santa Fe and the surrounding
country is to get up and git" A littl
of that quality injected into our bust
nessmen and property owners woult
erect a sugar factory, build Il fruit pre-
serving plant, give employment to tn
idle. and in a short time completed,
reyolutionize business and the face O
the country. A trial of a few doses o
"get up and git" would convince tn
most skeptical.

War Virtually Declared.

War between the United States and
Spain has virtually been declared. The
declaration of congress that "the people
of the island of Cuba are, and of right
ought to be free" and that the United
States government does hereby demand
that the government of Spain at once
%relinquish its authority and government
in the island of Cuba and withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters can mean nothing less,
unless Spain submits to the demand and
quietly withdraws from the island. The
latter turn of affairs is so highly i'm
probable that it is practically eliminated
from the situation. The answer of the
Spanish government to the ultimatum
sent to Madrid today can almost be fore
told word for word. 1t will be an in
dignant and naughty refusal to do any
thing of the kind. The president has

A NEW CITY.
Alamogordo on the Ell Paso & Northeastern

(From the Sacramento Chief.l

Niioih tiic StCEttluSnto Sultl.I
Alamogordo is the name selected for
the new town now being surveyed and
plated five miles south of La Luz. The
owner of the new townsite is the New
Mexico Development company, which
is practically the Ell Paso l. North
eastern Railway company.
The site for the new city is a most
beautiful and natural one. 1t is located
at the foot of the Sacramento range
of mountains, eighty-fve miles north
east of Ell Paso and midway between
Alamo and La Luz canon ON an emf
nence which commands a view of the
entire surrounding country. White
Mountain, the White Sands, the San
Andres range OF mountains, and many
other points of interests are plainly
visible. Here it is proposed to bring the
waters of the Alamo, La Luz, Fresnal
and other streams altogether and build
up an oasis in what is now apparently
a desert.
The waters of Alamo canon are to be
utilized in supplying electric powers for
the city, for lighting, manufacturing
purposes and operating electric street
railways.

navy Of this country to enfore the eyac-
uation of Cuba by the Spanish, and the
serious work of carrying out the intent
of the congressional resolutions will be-
gin Immediately upon receiving the re-
fusal to comply with the demands.
How long will the wal continue?
Well, that depends very much upon the
result of the first naval battle. Should
the Spanish fleet be successful in sink
ing or capturing American w~arships
enough to win a victory, the effect will
be to enthuse the people of Spain to
such an extent that the struggle will be
very materially extended; on the other
hand, if the victory rests with the Unit
ed States fleet the opposite effect will
result and the days of fighting short
ened. But be that as it may, the days
of anxiety will be sufficient to satisfy
the most sanguinary. That is a matter
which the American people have studied,
and having nee embarked in the enter
prise of freeing the Cubans, they will
not draw back until the object is at
tanned.
In the history of the United States
the month of April has been the war
month. Every war the country has en-
gagged in has begun in that month, and
the indications are that the next one
will hear the report of the first gun in
the present April. April has been a
pretty good month in the war line, and
as the result has always been the ad-
vantage of the United States, it is prob
ably as well, since war must come, to
begin the trouble at once and have the
matter settled that much sooner.

NEW MEXICO MINERALS AND RELICS,
Commissioner Lesson Tells Of the Display
He is Preparing.

COmmlSSlOnef y. j. Lesson, fepfeSen.
tative of the New Mexico Exposition
commission, is in the city to make final
arrangements for the installation of the
New Mexico exhibit. He reports a great
increase in the interest of the people OF
this section in the exposition and says
he must have more space in which to
display the our of the territory.
Mr.. Lesson says the people of New
Mexico are going to visit the exposition
in large numbers, and their exhibit will
be on a scale which will not give them
any cause to be ashamed of it.
All the details of the exhibit have
been placed in Mr.. Lessons hands by
his colleagues on the commission, and
he now has thirty tons Of minerals
collected and ready for shipment. Three
cars have already been loaded and will
be shipped within a few days. The
mineral exhibit will be most elaborate
and will consist of gold, silver, copper
lead ores and several varieties of building
stone. Mr.. Leeson is a most enthusias
tic mineralogist and has a very large
private collection. which will form q
part of the state exhibit, and in addition
to this he says he has a magnificent
collection of all the varieties of minerals
found In the territory.
The prehistoric exhibit from New
Mexico will include specimens found
among ancient ruins, together with a
most interesting collection of relics OF
the ancient Aztecs.
In fruit, Mr.. Leeson says the New
Mexico display will include apples,
grapes, peaches, plums and several Other
varieties of small fruits, while the
agricultural display will include a fine
collection of grains and grasses and a
splendid display Of sugar beets.
The territory will also have an educa-
tional display, and Mr.. Lesson predicts
that this portion of the New Mexico
exhibit will not be the least interesting
feature of the showing made.
Before returning to his home, Mr.,
Leeson will let contracts for the cases
shelving, booths, etc, required to make
a fine showing for his territory Omaha
