have attention called to them or the
article would be too incom plete for
publication. After crawling up the
canon for several miles on q grade of
about Al per cent the engineers had to
round the mountain to get to q point
where thev could get over into the
Fresnsl valley. In looking up the
the line was one veritable
lot of switch backs. Four
tracks are in sight At one time and
while it takes several miles OF rail to
get to the upper track in sight, q short
climb of q few hundred feet up the
mountain would bring you to the spot
None of the party offered, however, to
dispense with the hospitality of
Manager Eddy and Superintendent
Where the road heads the canon and
starts up the side of the mountain, thu
eye catching the fall of the canon and
the rise of the grade at the same time
it appears as If the grade was fully ten
per cent yet Supt. Greig informed the
party that at that particular point it
was but 3.6 per cent. This is the came
sort of visual deceptionthat often causes
people to almost wonder if water is not
running up hill in irrigation bitches.
HIGH ROLL.
After you round the mountain you
come in view of High Roll hill, so
named because of it's great height and
its symmetrical rolling ehape, sloping
gradually in every direction for con-
siderable distance. South Of this hill
is the famous box canyon whose walls
extend up for about q thousand feet.
The cut upon the fifth page represents
the north wall just below High Roll
hill. Upon this hill Mr.. Eddy expects
to erect q summer hotel and it will
make q famous place for Ell Paso peo-
pie and her visitors to have q summer
outing. The little town of
in the Fresnal valley is a picturesque
placa. Here Ia q sulphur spring,
which suggests to those who taste the
water that nest of stale eggs might
have been made way with in the spring
just before the water was dipped out.
There are other springs here of good
pure water which suggest health in
every draught you take OF it. A little
farther up the canyon Is the Baird saw
mill. formerly operated by q son of DR..
Baird Of Ell Paso. A few miles more
brings us to
TOBOGGAN STATION,
which is the terminal of the Alamo
gordo and Sacramento railway. In
reaching here the party had ridden
over q grade of So per cent for several
miles but the road above this point

Deputy Sheriff J. W. Gould, who has
been here for the pact few days on
business, returned to Alamogordo this
morning over the e. p. & N. E..
When asked If any effort was being
made to capture Oliver Lee he said:
ST think some of the boys are after
him"
"Have you any idea where Lee is?'
vas asked.
81 think he is in Mexico" said the
deputy, land he will be captured in
the course of time. HE ranch is locAt-
ed only ninety miles from the Mexico n
line and it would be q very easy matter
for him to make visiss to his ranch on
the American side. He is not safe, by
any means, on the Mexican side as, If
he Is captured there, the officers would
have no trouble whatever in bringing
him to Justice on this side of the line
II Is . very good country in the vicini-
ty of Lees ranch for fugitive to elude
his pursuers," continued the deputy.
"but when the railroad goes through
that country things will be different.
I look upon railroads as great civiliz-
ers and think the extension of the E.

Before the party broke up the guests
commissioned Mayor Magoffin to send
the following telegram:
"ALAMoGoRDo N. M jan 9th, 80.
sc. B. EDDY, Waldorf Astoria, New

"Alamogordo and Ell Paso tonight
united extend to you our best wishes
and congratulations. upon the success

"Thank you for kind expressions
and for the hearty support of yourself
and business men generally of Ell PasO

'CHAS. B. EDDY"
Before retiring the guests were noti-
fed that an early breakfast would be
served as the train was scheduled to
leave for the summit of the Sacramento
range at 7:45 O'Clock, SO that plenty of
time could be had in which to see the
sights aud return in time to lunch be-
fore leaving for Ell Paso at three
O'Clock.
UP THE MOUNTAIN.
Early Tuesday morning the guests
came down stairs very much refreshed
after the five hours rest in Host HHr-
vey's comfortable beds. A splendid
breakfast was served after partaking
of which the following parties repaired
to the depot and were soon aboard an

Prom the day that young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end of
his business life his health has a world to
do with his success. When a young man
applies to business man for position, his
personal appearance has deal to do with
the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. 1t does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfgured by unsight1y
pimples, eruptions and alterations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead of
receiving the life-giving elements of the
food, it receives the foul carnations Of
indigestion, bilousness and costiveness.
The reason that DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that it goes
right to first causes. It gives q man an
appetite like a horse" It facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. It corrects all
disorders Of the digestion, and makes the
assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food perfect. It invigorates the
liver. It puri6es and enriches the blood.
It makes the muscles strong and active.
1t tones and steadies the nerves. 1t makes
body, alert of brain and clean and whole
some of skin. Medicine dealers sell il
and have nothing "just as good.''

brothers proved to be his ~escuers.
Superintendent Greig varied the
monotOny of the occasion by
singing q SEQ. ch sOngwhen called upon
for q speech; the song was we'll receiv-
ed One of the Alamogordo guests got
off good joke on Supt. Greig or Cd
himself about buying the fret ticket
issued by the company; when he went
to make the trip be found he had paid
five cents mile to stand up in box
car q distance of fifty miles. The
road was completed at that time to
Jarilla station and upon arriving there
he was not satisfied with the price
asked for passage to the new town
site and rather than be outdone q
second time he walked the remaining
thirty five miles.
THE BALL.
After q couple of hours spent in feast
ing, the tables were removed from the
dining room and with music furnished
by the Mexican orchestra, which was
taken from Ell Paso for the occasion
and which bad discoursed sweet music
during the banquet. the wedding feast
of Ell Paso and Alsmo9ordo was COM
plete. In the tripping of the light fam
tastic none were more at home than
the faithful chaperon Supt. Greig and
mine host Fisher of the Pierson. Every
one seemed at home and it was an hour
past midnight when the home people
bid the Ell Psso guests goodnight and
went home leaving the latter to dream
of the mountain trip in store for them
on the morrow.

company's engines go up this grade
after logs but If they have Q few empty
log cars in front of them they have to
use the contents of the eandbOx freely.
Here was the Baldwin Eogine 1O1
which had given it's builders SO much
trouble to put in shape to round the
curves. It is stated that the 8 inch
tires she Is now wearing were sent here
about five hundred dollars. It bad In
tow q train load of logs which would
make from forty to fifty thousand feet
of lumber. The sharp curves are essi-
ly mastered now by this monster and
the company is correspondtpgly glad.
AT Toboggan almost the entire party
mounted the engine AMI started to the
front to see the famous
LOG LOADING MACHINE
at work. The log cars are provided
with q track upon which the log load
err is stationed from where by q crane
and chain 1t picks up the heaviest
loes frem off the side of the mountain
and swings them around
onto an adjoining car. Like
the ''steam Niger" at the
was all but human. After watching
the great machine load Q car of logs
the engine Was mounted again and
the party were soon in the car at
Tobogesn ready for the start down the
hill. The car preceded the engine on
the down trip and as it was built with
q view to observation q splendid sight
of the valley and canyons was obtain
ed as the descent was made.
THE ENGfNEER1Ne
of this wonderful line ia accounted one
of the grestest pieces of engineering
skill in railroad annals. 81. A. Sum-
ner, who was the chief engineer of the
Florence and Cripple Creek railroad,
was the engineer in charge of both
location and construction # the Ala
mogordo and Sacramento Mountain
railway and he has in the work GER
tsinly achieved fame that will be q
lasting monument to his memory in
generations to come
Alamogordo was reached about two
o'clock and the party lost no time in
doing justice to the fine lunch Col
Harvey and his estimsbl- wife had pre-.
pared T. it,. was d twsnsy minutes nnss
Conductor C. E. Pollock gave
Engineer Bert Prothero the signal
to whirl the party back to Ell Paso. On
the trip home compliments galore

Eddy, Superintendent Greig, Col. and
Mrs. Harvey, Clerk Wyld, and Agent
Sutherland aud wife who had contri-
buted 90 much to the happiness and In
formation of the party in the two days
outing.
The push and enterprise of the Edd y
brothers In promoting the several in.
| dustries, which had been of so much
interest on the trip, was remarked by
all and the feeling prevailed that
every point that could be made to as.
sist these gentlemen In building up the
resources tributary to Ell Paso should
be carefully noted and every assist

The train was in charge of train

O'Shea gave Engineer Riddle the sig
nal to 60 ahead end the merry party
pulled out for q climb over the clouds
but as no clouds developed the party
renamed it ride up the mountain.
While the trip was being made over
the sm Doth, light grade to La Luz
station, about six miles, where the
entrance to the canon was reached,
Supt. Grefg thong htfully provided for
several mem bers of the party seats in
the cupola of the car where they could
get q fine view of the surrounding
country. When the canon was reached
cushions we're placed on the front of
tendent and Mesdames Davis aud
Russell and several gentlemen of the
party were provided with accommoda-
lions where every point of interest
could be taken in view.
THE ADOBE WATER MILL.
Shortly after the start up the canon
q crude Old adobe water mill appears
in eight. It was built several years
ago by an individual who imagined
that by building in the mountain and
constructing road along the noun
tain above and In the valley below he
could secure fall for his grain
in natural manner which
usually has to be gained
by heavy elevating machinery.
The uighb oring community was drawn
upon largely in its building but it
never proved q financial success. It is
now successfully operated in q small
way by an old gentleman by the name of
Keeuy who makes q specially of grind
ing corn.
SCENE BEGG AIRS DESCRIPTION.
From this point on, the scenery on the
AlamogOrdo and Sacramento Mountain
railway could not be properly describ-
ed by q much more vivid descriptive
writer than the present and the
reaC ers of the HERALD will have to
draw upon their imagination about the
scenery until such time
as they may be fortunate
enough to make the trip over the
Interesting road. A few points must
