A NEW RAILROAD TO SAN FRANCISCO.

The newly completed extension of
the Santa Fe Route through the San
Joaquin Valley to San Francisco was
opened for passenger business on July
l, 1900.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway has heretofore possessed the
distinction of being the only line with
its own track and trains all the way
from Chicago to Los Angeles anil San
Diego. San Francisco and the impor.
tant cities of the San Joaquin Valley
are now added to the vast territory
served by this great transportation sys.
tenn under one management, which ter
ritory also includes large part of the
region between Denver on the north.
and Galveston on the south.
Stress is laid upon single ownership
and management, which insure uni
form excellence of service. Overland
trains by this route do not miss con-
nection, because they run through.
Tbs eating house and dining car SER
vice is one of the same superior DUAL.

The democratic platform is
far in advance OF the republi.
can platform, and in some re-
spects equal to the Populist
platform. The planks de-
handing election of senators
by a direct vote of the peo-
pie, and direct legislation is
a step forward and can not
help but invite the admira-
ton of students of political
economy. The platform also
deals ably with the Philip
pine and Porto Rican cues
tons and very justly arraigns
the republican party for its
foreign policy.

1T seems to US that the Hutchinson
Gazette Is very inconsistent in its crit
icism of those Populist papers which
are supporting 1. Z. Campbell, the Pop
ulist nominee for congress, in prefer.
ence to Claude Duval, the democratic
candidate. The Gazette editor is sup
posed to be Populist, at least he was
delegate from Reno county in the
Populist convention which nominated
Campbell at Great Bend. He was an
ardent supporter of Mr.. Duval in that
convention and we are not finding
fault with HIM on that account. But
when Mr.. Campbell was nominated by
large majority or the votes of the dele
gates of that convention, it was Mr..
Nettleton, the editor of the Gazette,
who made motion to make the nomi.
nation unanimous, pledging Mr.. Camp
bell not only his support but the sup
port of all the Duval men for whom he
was authorized to speak. Now why
can't he show himself to be as big
hearted through his paper as he pro-
fessed TO be in the closing hours OF the
convention. We Go not censure the
Gazette for being Duval admirer. it
is natural. Duval is Hutchinson man
and we recognize the fact that home
pride and personal friendship cut q
wide swa.h in politics, yet we do not
see how the Gazette man can get up
and criticiSe papers which support
their party nominee in preference to
that Of another, especially when its
editor publicly pledged himself TO the
support of such nominee. II Nettle.
ton has had change of heart since
that convention he should come out
boldly and say so; or il he has conclud-
ed to walk out Of the Populist party
and into the democratic party he
should declare himself and quit mas
querading in Populist habiliment.

Our exchanges continue to congratu.
late as on our libel suit, but we can't
see any fortune in it ourselves. A law
suit is an unfortunate affair under the
most favorable circumstances but when
one Is forced into it there IL something
deplorable about. We don't object 80
much to the popularity" az we do to
the price. A newspaper in western
Kansas which is shut out from public
patronage has enough to DO to keep on
its pegs without sporting libel suits.

A great many Alamogordians have
within the past week purchased tracts
of land from the Alamogordo Improve
ment company and will have them set
out and improved. From speculative
standpoint, the citizens of the town
could not go into better scheme. The
time is soon coming when a great many
people will seek homes here for the pur-
pose of improving their health The
tracts which are set out with trees for
orchards will prove most attractive as
residence spots FOR the newcomers and
those who buy now, will have an oppor-
tunity to sell later at fancy prices.
Aside from the real estate speculative
feature, those who continue as fruit
growers will realize handsome profit
from the orchards after the third
year-in fact sufficient to enable them
to live in comfort without other support.
Fruit raising here is no experiment.
The soil is peculiarly adapted to that
branch of husbandry, an abundance of
water is assured and the market will

marks an epoch in the progress and ad-

growth.
The building, just completed, is a
magnificent two-story affair, constructed
of red brick and finished with Alamo
gordo marble.
The massive safe, from Mosler & Co.,
Cincinnati, o., is one Of the best burglar
and fire proof safes ever manufactured.
It is steel lined throughout and is fitted
with two money chests, each chest with
double combination and time locks.
The outside door is OF heavy chrome steel
with elaborate bolt work and pressure
bars. The outer door is also supplied with
q time lock. These time locks cannot be
opened by any one until the mechanism
releases. The safe Is indeed monster
affair, huge in proportions and complete
in every detail.

continue to grow. AT present a great
majority of the fruit consumed here is
shipped in from FL Paso. The lumber
camps, mining sections and coal regions
are constantly increasing in population
and they are all consumers and non-
producers. In less than one year there
be ready market containing 5000
people In Alamogordo, Captain, Jarilla,
and the lumber camps. The country
cannot begin to supply the frait and
vegetables needed in these places. Nor
Is there any danger OF over doing the
business and causing low prices through
competition. Many new industries will
spring up through fruit raising. A
canning factory, evaporatng establish
ment, box factory, and many other in
stitutions will be brought into existence.
The town OF Alamogordo will be de-
cidedIy beautiiied through planting the
trees. Fine drives will exist all around
the town, the trees will break the dust
and IN short time veritable garden
spot will exist here ane prove attractive
to home seekers. 1t is the duty of every
merchant who can afford it, to purchase
and improve small tract of land, if not
for residence purposes, then from a
speculative standpoint, 1t is one OF the
few opportunities that come to man
where he cannot lose anything.
The tracts are now selling at from
5000 to $3.50, on long time and easy term
payments. A number of the citizens
have arranged to form combination
and secure the services of a good fruit
grower to look after their property.
Under the arrangement made, it costs
only about $40 per month to pay for the
land and improve it.
