be a valuable connection. We are
building a cutoff on our line from
Denver to Salt Lake city, which when
completed will make our line nearly
200 miles the shortest road between

A Much Nee ded Reform.
Last night whe n the 8. p. passenger
,raIn came in q negro runner Tor sne
Pierson hotel disobeyed the orders OF
the COMPANY and solicited for PATRON
age on III e Gepo: platform be was
promptly arrested by Special Ofhcer
| Hudsoo end locked up In the police
station. Officers Hudson ard Rsyner
declare that :hey will stop the nuisance
OF porters and hackmen crowdinR tne
passengers a. they alight from trains
il they have to walk down to the police
station ~ish ore every time train
comes In.
I. il sIncere'y hoped that they will Be
successful and also that the city author-
tties will stand by them In their prose-
cution of cases disooeyiug their or
ders. The unesrIhly bowling OF hobsi
runners should be declared ouisa1ce
and dealt with by the municipal law
When the T. & p. train is late the
bowling mob of pOrters disturos the
siumbers OF the citizens for three
blocks around the depot
That ts not the best reason Why 10
should he stopped however. The re-
pusstiop of the city rs pleasan: place
70 visit depends upon It.. People dread
TO al!Rht n ON a train In Ell Paso.- Wo
men turn pale and are almost seized
: with nervous prostration when the
bowling cOons crowd around tnem-
It'll hnr
run around like chicken with It's
head cut OF. They forget what they
came 20 town for. they do not know
" hich way to turn and Look pleadtn2ly
AbCu, then for protection from the nor,
rible row OF wide-open mouths And
wall-eyes. A scene like unto deer
surroun led by a dozen barking hounds
in which a frightened lady plays the
part OF the deer and Gbe porters the
hounds Is enacted slmos: any time .
tain pulls up 20 sn Ell Paso depot.
A. sample of what the condition
would be were this nuisance stopped
occurred at the G.. Il. depot lsss Sat
urday mornine. The irain WAS just
late enough that the porteTs were
down st santa Fe when It arrived.
There wssn's believer on the
ground. The passengers ahghted In
peace and went their way happy.
! oy.tapder remorked, HTbis is a per-
| feet little heaven here this morning.
| IL would be worth thousands TO tie
city IL It could be this way wien
every train arrived" Why can't 10 be!
The New pecos Valley Through
| Line.
| Railroad news Ia the order of the
Gay with the Ell Paso papers just cow
and the nun Der that have been built
| ION paperl durin z the past two months
would twine around the globe. Tney
have told all about the various roads
looking TO this secsion but little has
been said about the country tbe pros
i uective roads would traverse. The
| Ros veil Record sakes up this subject
and gives some Interesting iaiorm-
alton about the country to be traversec
| by the E Psso, Pecos Valley and East
earn road, which has publicly snnounc-
ed its intentions of coming here.
After discussing the financial end OF
the proposition as a railroad presidents
would the Register ssys:
We are we'll acquainted With the
country between here and Ell Psso
over which the new survey passes.
a bout 120 miles of Is Is smooth un-
| known country where railroad con-
struction will be nearly as inexpensive
So anywhere In the so1th vest. About
| fifty miles Is through beautiful noun
:nin valleys. IL is we'll -atered, and
covered with pine aud cedar forests,
which will make the finest sum msr
xnd winter resorts, either for health
| or pleasure, to be found in NewMex.co.
The region around Hope and Weed
and the head of the Per asco has been
sett ed In . small way for many years,
, nd, as we In Roswell know, raises as
| fine apples, osber fruiss and veges-
! sbles as were ever grown. All the
irrigation posi- bilities will be develop
ed to the utmost wish the help OF con-
vebient railroad transportation.
Turning TO the benefit Roswell will
receive from the building OF the road
1t continues:
To abe Pecos Valley geaerally moth
ir q can be more important than the
new line We will be on III. main lire
Of an important Traus-Consinental
road, with i've trains and Pullman
sleepers. We will have one hundred
strangers to stopbere and settle were we
now have one. Every acre Of lacd which
csu be irrigated will be in demand
and will be cultivated. Every branch
~ business will be stimulated. As the
ner line will probably have q conrec-
tion wi.h the FL Psso & Northea-tern
about 40 miles from here, we will have
the cheap and excellent Salado coal,
aod that country, as well as I'll Paso
and Mexico, will want our fruits and
other sgricuituI al products in large
quantities.
Again reviewing the abroad CON-
panv's eide OF the proposition It turns
its glasses on FL Psso and sees few
things ovsr this way as told In the
| following:
Ell Paso Is now an important and
