LINCOLN COUNTY.
The people of White Oaks and vicini-
ty subscribed $52.75 toward the relief of
the Galveston flood sufferers.
There Is considerable speculation as
to just what route the Ell Paso & North
junction with the Rock Island. There
are threa routes over the mountains
suggested. One by the way of White
Oaks from CarrizOZO, another to the
west of White Oaks and through the
pass between the Jicarilla and Gallo
mountains, and the other from Captain.
The route from Captain Is made i'm
practicable by reason of the Indian
canon sWitchback, which Is unavoid-
able. A 1R per cent grade Is said to
be obtained up White Oaks canon, while
to the west of the Jicarilla mountains
a per cent grade over comparatively
level country Is found. AS to distance,
there Is but little difference in either
route. After the mountain range is
crossed in Lincoln county the line will
very nearly follow the old Las Vegas
wagon road to the Red Cloud tanks
east Of the Gallo mountains, on the
north line Of Lincoln county, thence
across the Gallo mesa by the way of
Gallo lake, through Tennessee Pass,
and on northeast to Puerto de Luna,
where it is probable the junction Of the
two roads will be. President c. B. Ed
dy Is now in New York, and 1t Is said
that his business there is concerning the
extension.
At the last meeting Of the city coun-
Gil of Ell Paso, DR.. Anderson, acting
city health officer. stated that several
cases Of smallpox existed at Captain.
Upon the publication Of this news Agent
Morriss, Of the White Oaks road, wired
Superintendent Greig regarding the
matter, and received a reply stating
that no cases Of smallpox existed in
Captain, or had existed there for more
than two months past.
