vey from the vicinity of White Oaks
by Clayton to Liberal and the route
offers no serious difficulties, so we
know about what the cost will be, and
1t cannot change our plans. The con-
Meeting line is able to hold up it's end,
making good profit from its coal mines
and general business. We have no
special interest in the coal fields in its
territory, as we can get our supply
over our own lines from Colorado or
make a short haul from the mines in
the Trinidad country down TO Clay
ton over the Denver and Gulf line "
NEW MOVE WELCOMED.
AS showing the local feeling in re-
gard to this railway extension the
News prints special dispatches from
Deming, N. NJ, the City of Mexico and
Clayton, N. NJ. The Deming dispatch,
among other things, says:
"The railway extension to Liberal
mentioned in your dispatch Of inquiry
is one long desired by the cattlemen
of this region, because 1t will save
perhaps one feeding and watering en-
route to Chicago. Many cattlemen will
drive from this region and even points
| northward across the open country
and mountain ranges of Lincoln coun-
ty to ship cattle from White Oaks to
Kansas City, saving mileage at this
end and making a shorter haul gen.
| orally. Besides the stock driven to
| such a shipping point, the Southern
| Pacific, which cannot take the cattle
| from this point to Kansas City, nor
| even to Chicago without a long haul
| that is not practicable. down through
| Texas or via the Gulf, will enter the
| field to get a haul to El Paso, thence
| over the White Oaks-Rock Island
| short line. In addition to the cattle
| this company can pick up in Grant
| county. at Lordsburg and Deming, in
| cluding those driven here from across
| the Mexican border, the Southern Pa
| cific hauls many cattle from Sonora
| and Arizona into Deming and turns
| them over to the Santa Fe which it
| will be sure to take for the haul TO FL
| Paso, where the shorter haul and saw
ing in time to Kansas City will be of
| great advantage. Any line 200 miles
| shorter must get the traffic. Some idea
of the cattle business to be striven for
may be gained when it is known that
the shipments from Deming and points
west passing through here over the
Santa Fe. or turned over here by the
Southern Pacific to the Santa Fe has
in a year amounted to 5000 carloads"
AS VIEWED IN MEXICO.
The dispatch from the City of
1 NJ, m u
| Paso eastward will relieve the Mexi-
can Central by giving it a shorter cut
to Chicago, Independent of the Santa
Fe and in competition for Mexican
| business, and one result may be that
the special excursion trains to the
| Mexican capital may come by El Paso
as they did before the international
combination was made which turns
the excursion business over to the
Mexican Central at Torreon for the
short haul only. These excursionists
no longer see El Paso except they &c
from here to California. The Santa
Fe does not work for this business In
Chicago earnestly, preferring to take
the sight-seers to California over Its
lines via Albuquerque.
1T goes without saying, remarked
| one railway OIlCldl, lHdI d SHORT lHlt
from FL Paso to Chicago will be quite
an inducement for the Mexican Cen
trail to offer passengers and shippers
of live stock and perishable freight
Railway men here friendly to Ell PasC
think the new route will shake up the
old lines, give El Paso and Mexico
lower rates, compel other lines tC
shorten mileage to the border anC
double the population Of Ell Paso il
two years"
EFFECT ON CATTLE TRADE.
The Clayton dispatch says: "A lin
crossing the Denver-Fort Worth roat
here would have an immense business
from this cattle and wool section, ant
in going to White Oaks or vicinit'
would go by Liberty and Puerto d
} Luna and clear to White Oaks woul,
be splitting wide open the great woo
region that has in the main done bust
ness with Las Vegas and Roswell
, There is much country along such
{ route that will bear a larger liv
: stock business than has yet been bull
. up, because of remOteness from rail
ways"
Mr.. c. d. Simpson was asked by
Tribune representative on Saturday
} he had anything to say concernin
. this matter He acknowledged to hav
: ing been in Chicago with Mr.. Edd
: recently, but added that at this tim
: he had nothing TO give out for publ
