Proposition to Form IA New Territory With
Parts of New Mexico and Arizona.

"A special correspondence to the New
York Sun from Ell Paso, Texas, says:
The city of Ell Paso is growing ambi-
tiouS. Destined to be the greatest city
on the Mexican border it has become
tired of it's isolation in the far western
corner of Texas. For many years the
question of annexation of the city to
the Territory of New Mexico has been
agitated. Ell Paso is mere remote from
the rest of Texas, so far as business
is concerned, than Chicago or St Louis.
It has nothing in common with Calves
ton or Fort Worth or Austin. Between
these cities and Ell Paso are several
hundred miles of plain country given
over to sage brush and cactus. Along
the valley of the Pecos and down the
valley of the Rio Grande where irriga-
ton is possible agriculture may flourish
and cattlemen prosper, but aside from
these sections all the country tributary
to Ell PaSo is north west and south
The latest proposition is greater than
that of annexation to New Mexico; it
involves the annexation of half of New
Mexico, a big slice of Texas and two
counties of Arizona to Ell Paso and the
formation of new territory and
eventually a new state out of the sec
tons thus brought together. The plan
is to form a territory cut of the coun-
ties of Cochise and Graham in Arizona;
Grant, Sierra, Socorro. Dona Ana, LIN
coin, Eddy and Chavez in New Mexico
and that portion of Texas west of a
line drawn from the east line CT New
Mexico to the Rio Grande river. OF
this new territory Ell Paso is to be the
metropolis and capital city.
The scheme is not so easily carried
out as it is planned. 1t is worthy the
dash and spirit of the growing metrop-

New York Feb. 21-Spring fashions
are the fashionable topic of feminine
conversation. The season of furs is
nearly over and the days of warmth,

us to think of the costumes we will

certain just what Dame Fashion has

prise.
There is no doubt about the trimmed

lis of the South. and there is scarcely
a citizen of Ell Paso who does not favor
some scheme by which the city can be
divorced from the rest of Texas. A
prominent citizen says of the plan:
THE benefits that FL Paso would de-
rive from this would be simply enCr-
nous. The greatest part of Ell Paso' S
trade is with New Mexico. There is
none with the rest of Texas. The place
is separated from the rest of the state
by vast desert. On the other hand
it is at the threshold of the best por-
ton of New Mexico. Three CT Ell Paso's
railroad systems run directly into New
Mexico. The Santa Fee furnishes direct
communication with the towns of the
Rio Grande valley. Along this route
there are more towns and a larger pop
ulaton within four or five hours ride
than can be reached in "a hours ride
on those roads extending to the eastern
part of Texas. The Southern Pacific
running west places Ell Paso in direct
connection with Deming, Lordsburg
and the southwestern portion of the
territory. The eastern end of Chavez
and Eddy counties may also be prop
erly classed as tributary to Ell Paso.
Last but by no means least, may be
considered the magnificent Sacramento
Mountain and White Oaks country. No
one can doubt that this section is des-
tined to become enc of the most i'm
portant portions of New Mexico. FL
Paso will have a big claim on this
country. The new railroad will bring
everything here. With Ell Paso an
neXed New Mexico would be state
within three months"
Few people outside the Rocky mount
ain region can appreciate the import
ance Ell Paso has assumed in the past
few years. 1t is the gateway between
two great republics. It's present popu-
lation is about 10000 and is rapidly in
creasing. FL Paso is the largest and

This Is Worth A Trial

If any of our readers want early
tomatoes, let them take large
turnips or rutabagas, and holloW
them out like flower pot. Then
fill the space with rich soil and
plant the tomato seed IN that. AS
soon as there is no more danger of
frost, set the turnips with the
tomato plants in the garden where
you want them to grow. This will
not loosen the soil from the roots
and the plants will continue to
grow without interruption, VIII lie
