The announcement above creates no
surprise here, for it has been known for
some time that Mr. Eddy has had his
resignation as general manager Of some
of the companies before the boards of
directors That he would insist on their
acceptance and relieve himself of an
overwhelming amount Of work, has also
been a foregone conclusion. But the
announcement is received in Alamogor-

was hoped that something would occur
to cause him to reconsider his determin-

To Mr.. Eddy, as much as any other
person, is due the present status~or Ala
mogordo and Otero county. In this
statement TIE NEWS does not overlook
the Importance of the capital utilized in
developing the resources Of the country
nor does it reflect discredit on any one
whose work has aided the successful
consnmation of the details mapped out
by Mr.. Eddy.
During the past five years he has rode
in blackboard and on horseback over the
plains and mountains of the Sacramento
region, enduring all manner of hard
ships, studying the latent resources and
mapping out their future Subsisting
on the plainest of fare, one day blistered
by the hot winds of the desert and ewes
blinded by the glare Of the sun on the
sands, another day footsore and weary
from ceaseless tramping over hills and
Mt night breaking ice from mountain
streams to secure water, and resting
tired limbs under lean-to of boughs-
this indefatgable worker has by his eff
forts, laid tka foundation Tor s--siant
empire.
A desert, a mountain plain, some
money, an Eddy!
A city, garden spot, a wealthy com
