Says the Taos Cresset: 1.-THE people
OF San Juan county arc very hopeful Of
a railroad ia the near future. Major
J w. Hanna, a Denver promoter OF con-
siderable prominence, is pushing the
scneNe. A railroad frena Durango,
Colorado, south along the western line
OF New Mexico, would be a great bene-
at to a large number Of people and, con-
sidering the vast amount Of coal land
aud timber country through which it
would run and the agricultural and live
stock products Of that section, would
be pretty sure to be a paying Investment
to its oWners."
Says the New Mexican: Tho pro-
posed railway from Pagosa Springs to
ArbOles, via Pennington, N. NJ, might
be called the Fruit Line when built.
1t is estimated that in the valley OF the
San Juan, Is, o 900 to 100000 pounds
Of fruit is raised annually, ami half of
it goes 70 waste for lack Of a railway.
The valley will prove to be one Of the
greatest fruit belts in the United States.
There is . fue opening for canning,
distilling and evaporatiHg enterprises.
Not more than one fourth Of the good
land Is under ditch, and the water supply
IL inexhRuatable."
