Knights Of Labor Have Selected
An Ideal Place For Their Out
ing-Beautiful Scenery.
ALAMOGORDOWILL TURN OUTA CROWD
Dancing, Games, ETC., Proposed By the
TularOsa Committee On Arrangements
-AlamogOrdO VS., Ell PasO Base Ball
Nines-BrOncO Busting.

The knights of Labor excursion to
TularOsa Sunday after next bids fair to
be an unqualified success and citizens
of Alamogordo are arranging to aug
ment the crowd and assist the Garden
City of 0tero county in entertaining its
visitors.
Invitations from the committee of ar
rangements have been received by
great many Alamogordans and it is the
desire that the news be spread that
everyone is invited. Dancing, music,
broucho riding. an Indian dance, ball
game and other sports have been ar
ranged for the entertainment of the
crowd, and an enjoyable time is guaran-
teed to all.
The Knights were wise in selecting
Tularosa as the place for the excursion.
With its verdurerobed fields, wide
spreading shade trees, melifuent mea-
dows, flower scented orchards and cool
ing waters, it presents beautiful APP
pearance and is an ideal place for
days outing.
The arrangements and sports held
out as an attraction by the Tularosa
committee will prove as alluring to the
residents of 0tero county as to the Ell
Paso visitors. for local pride in the ath-
Ietic prowess of the Otero county bronco
riders, ball players etc, is always keyed
to the highest pitch. The White Oaks
shops and Alamogordo base ball mines
will be in condition to play all comers
and will challenge any nine in El Paso.
Alamogordo will turn out fnlly 200
visitors to Tularosa aud it will be the
aim of all to add as much as possible to
the enjoyment of the Ell Paso visitors.
Imagine emerald-hued fields of al
falfa, in which cattle are standing knee
deep, banked by dense clumps of trees,
streets arched with foliage through
which the sun can scarcely filter, the
air resonant with the hum of bees, odor-
Gus with the scent of flowers, and in the
background the stately crest of Sierra
Blanca rising from behind the sharp
etched cliffs of the Sacramentos, and
one has description of Tularosa. 1t
is the most delightful place in the South
west for a picnic, excursion or cele6ra-
tion.

was taken at a time when 1t was be-
lieved by the election board that the re-
suit would be Democratic. Eight voters
who would naturally have voted Repub-
lican we're out OF town on special
train. Considering those things, 1t will
be noted that there was basis OF fact
for THE News representation.
The school election taught to Repub-
llcans the lesson that they are not deal
ing with novices when they battle with
the leaders of the local Democracy.
There is no trick, subterfuge or work
that they are not up on; they watch the
corners sharply, take advantageo of every
point, do but little talking and lots Of
hard work, and they have their forces
thoroughly organized. With the excep-
tiOn of few disgruntled Democrats who
did not vote, their plan of campaign in
dicated superior generalship aud united
action. The Republican leaders must
bdht bntll udbS bil w MI anu
acknowledge foeman worthy of their
steel, and one who cannot be watched
too closely.
the fall campaign will show many
surprises. Hard work will be done on
both sides and the Republican party will
win. Aamogordo will show $50 Repub-
lican majority, and other portions of the
county will develop Republican
strength that is now unlocked for. 1t
is the general impression, at this time,
that the result will be close, but the
election will show different state of
affairs. The Republican candidates will
have fully 300 votes. to the good. After
the nominating convention, the Repub-
licans will sweep into line and present
an invulnerable phalanx, and one that
will command the respect and admira-
tiOn of both parties.

chards and vineyards. An abrupt turn
brings us into the :canon-a narrow,
PERCEPTIONS valley, hardly more than
wide enough for the railroad, creek and
wagon road"
From Toboggan on is the steepest
part OF the climb. Cloudcroft is only
about mile beyond butts likewise near
ly mile above. The valley is too steep
TO follow further and too narrow in
which TO turn with even 30 degree
curve, so we simply switch back toward
Aiamogordo but all the time climbing
up, up on the side Of the mountain until
We are looking far down on the track in
the deep, narrow valley below Toboggan.
Another switch back and we are again
climbing the side of the mountain
headed toward the east and the grand
divide Of the Sacramentos. At Baileys
the grade runs into the ground again
and we cross the valley with another
mule shoe curve, as at Pinto, and climb
along the other side Of the valley going
in the opposite direction. From here to
Cloudcroft the view is not confined to
any one point, but always grand, sub
lime and absolutely indescrbable. I'm
mediately before us mountains covered
with dense forests; Immediately below
the beautiful valley of the Upper Fres-
nal, with the birds eye map of the road
and our wanderings, while in the dis
tance and far beneath us the great white
ocean of white sands, bordered by the
San Andreas range Of mountains, seven
ty-hye miles away, and still beyond oc-
casional peaks west of the Rio Grande,
two hundred miles or more distant"
With all of its heavy grades and
doubling curves the road is absolutely
safe. The engines are the most power
full built and the air pumps are the larg-
est made. The air, water, steam and
hand brakes and the double air line
make accidents less usual on noun
tain road equipped like this, with eter-
nal vigilance against accident, than on
one where less care is necessary and
vigilance is relaxed somewhat.
The forests and flowers and views of
Cloudcroft, the continual May day at
the cool nights when the
wood fires blaze on the hearth; the life
in the heart of the forest, and yet with
as comfortable beds and as good meals
as in the city, all are very entcing. Ell
Paso is fortunate in having such pleas
ant resort so near. Trips and parties
and excursions to Cloudcroft will be the
order of the coming summer and health,
happiness and the wisdom of the forests
will be the profit of the iourneyings.
Opportunities for trade and business
are not lacking there part of the
great tract has been set apart especially
for business purposes. Livery stables,
stores, butcher shops and the like are
already established, and North Cloud
croft affords all the advantages of the
ordinary country town. To those who
would make camping excursions for
fishing, hunting or visits to places of
interest, the field is almost unlimited.
Cloudcroft will be the breathing spot
of the southwest-the summer home of
the people of its cities.-El Paso Herald.

Cudahy had been kidnapped, and that
he would be returned safe and sound
upon the payment of SIS, 900 in gold;
otherwise he would be blinded by the

securing the money started out en-
tirely alone for the place designated
by the kidnappers. To identity him
self, he had attached to the dashb board

Rules Against Reservoir Grabs.

The commissioner of the general
land office has rendered decision,
holding that the filing of reservoir
site declaratory statements in the west
upon the public domain with the in
tention of constructing reservoirs, is
done with the understanding that
filings or other adverse entries will
be allowed by the general land office
during the pendency of the reservoir
declaratory statement and take prece-
dence of it in the event that the party
first fling does not comply with the
law.
The ruling on the part of the COM
missioner is the result of information
reaching him of an alleged abuse OF
the existing law permitting the filing
of declaratory statements. 1t is said
that many persons avail themselves oi
the right merely to appropriate land
| Hereunder, having no intention oi
constructing reservoirs, thus prevent
ing in the meanwhile the initiation oi
other rights subject to noncompliance
with the law under the first filing.
