THE COUNTRY NORTH OF US.

The RECORD feels equally Il,
much interest in the country to the
north Of us, along the line of r
Paso aud Northeastern railway and
beyond to the White Oaks country
proper, as any other newspaper in
FL Paso or New Mexico, and prints
probably y more matter concerning
the mining industry ofthat portion
of New Mexico than any other pa
per in the Southwest. Yet this
fact does not deter the editor of
the Alamogordo News from willful
and malicious misrepresentation of
the RECORD every few weeks. In
the last issue of the News Manning
insists that the RECORD has always
opposed everything in which the
Eddys were interested, naming the
Jarilla mining camp and the Cap
itan coal fields. The RECORD S
files are subject to the examination
of any one interested, and until
they are examined and the truth of
Manning's assertions proven, the
RECORD must insist on its former
statement. that he has distorted
facts, knowingly and maIiciously.
The RECORD has many readers
in that section and it is possible
that Manning fears the business
men of Ell Paso may conclude to
stop patronizing his paper, as
they can reach the same class of
readers through the RECORD. ex-
ccpt that class of readers, which is
the bulk of the News circulation, to
whom the paper is sent by the rail
road company, and consisting of
people ia the far cast. Both the
White Oaks Eagle and the Tula.
rosa Democrat are said to have
more subscribers among the actual
residents of the Sacramento and
AIamogordo country than the
News has, and this stands to rea-
son, as the News is only "com-
pany" paper, being controlled body
and soul hy the railroad company,
a kind of paper that is never
popular with the reading public,
as its sole mission is to puff and
boost everything the company tells
1T to, whether the subject is a
ore or not. These
company papers are more given to
lying than telling the truth, and
placing fictitious value on every
thing.
The railroad company has it in
for the RECORD because the
RECORD will not laud the JariIla
camp to the skies and place
it among the best in the land, when
I he facts will not bear up such a
clcim. The JarilIa is a good
camp and may develop into an ex-
reIIent one. The RECORD has never
said otherwise than that there was
m abundance of good coal at Cap. |
Itan. But it is also said that White
Oaks had good coal, aad here is
where the shoe pinchcd again. The
company would have the public
believe the only good coal in that
part of New Mexico is that owned
" the company. The troubIe is
hat the railway company does not
want other sections, equally re
and some more SO than
'round Alamogordo, given an
qual showing by the newspapers.
N other words, they want the
newspapers to keep silent about
he resources and advantages of the
White Oaks country, and to boost

state Of the weather precludes any
public gathering in the park or on

Lavender hill having been obtained
arrangements are now being made for
a series of free concerts to be given

day a public notice was Issued which
expresses an opinion that there must

The level Of the Great Salt lake,

on account OF the large volume OF

sorbed by irrigation enterprises. The
Jordan and Bear rivers. City creek and
other tributaries rise In the mountains

larger than at present. as Is shown by
the old beaches, stretching Mt various
levels along the basin. Since the mid
die OF the century its level has been

but now II Is falling. This shrinkage
OF Great Salt lake is not due to natural
causes. but to the increasing quantity
OF water taken from the Jordan and
smaller streams by farmers, who are
diverting all they can get TO their
lands. Some OF the salt deposits COW
ering the bottom OF the lake may now
be seen above the water in shallower
places and near the shores.
