The Denver and Rio Grande is unable
to get all the labor needed on the new
La Veta line, and it is probable that
half of the 1.500 men required will have
to be secured in the east. Thirty miles
of the road will be entirely new. and
when that is built the remainder will be
standard gagged. Alarge share Of the
laborers are Italians.

is in town On a business trip. has been
down to Ell Paso. He says that the city
must have now all Of 20, 900 inhabitants.
and is steadily growing. New build
ings are going up all of the time, and
the rush of business is such that eve
all of the old. and more or less dilapa-
dated structures on South Ell Paso
street are occupied for commercial pur-
poses. The railroads have accom-
plishcd great things for the town, and
Ell Paso is bound to be a very import
ant center Of communication in a short
time.
sob, when will this cold cold weather
end?' is an exclamation heard IN the
streets pretty nearly every day. Old
timers agree with Captain Day that
there has not been such steady cold for
the last 20 years. However, it is no.
ticed that the sun has got so far north
now. that at noon, on the leeward side
of buildings, a perceptible warmth is
noticed from the rays Of the sun. But
as long as the snow remains in such
great quantities in the northern part of
the territory and in southern Colorado,
it will be cold whenever the wind blows
from that direction.
Commissioner Lesson, of the New
Mexican exhibits at the Nashville and

more extended scale. st. Louis will
have IA fine exposition in 1900.
