CARLSBAD, N. M, April 27.-From
all reports the proposed extension to
Ell Paso from South Spring north of
here, is to be certainty. Grading
| will probably commence during the
next two months. II the management
of the road carries out its present In
tentions, the Pecos Valley will shortly
be lively agricultural and stock grow
ing centre with close and intimate con-
nections with the great markets east
and north.
The benefit 60 Ell Paso by the com
pletiou of this road will be greater
than people there at present realize.
1t will offer an airline route to Kansas
Oity, shorter by some 200 miles than
any line now in operation.
AS to the new road being built by the
Santa Fe people, that is all pure rub
bish. This new road is being con-
structed by j. J. Hagerman and his as
sociates in the Pecos Valley and
Northeastern, and no one else.
The various towns on the road ara
making fair progress now. The town
of Hagerman is rapidly advancing and
the lands in its neighborhood are be-
ing sold for something like their value.
In Carlsbad aud below here, land can
be had at $40 to s20 an acre, even
lower for csrtsin tracts where the
owners are non-residents.
A FREAK ABROAD
Some 'freak" in Roswell an
alleged correspondent of the Ell Paso
Times, makes public the fact(D that the
"cannery" here has been moved away
and that later on the beet sugar facto-
ry will follow ssuit and take up its
quarters at Roswell as we'll As to
the first statementt there never was any
Gaming factory here, nor any proposi-
tion to build one, and IS to the remov-
al OF the beet sugar factory, A. s.
Goetz in an interview today stated that
1t would require moro nerve than he
had control of to move quarter of
million dollars worth of brick, mortar
and machinery from the centre OF the
beet growing district in she valley to a
place where bses growing was as yet a
proposition.
STOCK SHIPMENTS
1t Is now understood that 300 stock
care are ordered for the pens here to
be loaded during the coming week.
Many OF the cattle to be shipped will
| come from the Benson ranch aud a
large number from the ranges east OF
here on the "plsins." This place,
Portales, Wovenl, Hereford and the
Canon yards, will get the greater part
of the shipments this season. There
is small doubt but that the road will
handle over 100000 head during the
year.
A GENUINE NEWSPAPER
The HERALD is becoming power IN
this valley and it ia to be hoped that
it will keep its grip In this section, as
it's news is genuine and its opinions

caused the waters to subside Then
Deucalion and Pyrrha found out
that nobody was living upon the
earth except themselves and they
wished that they might be able
to people the world again rapidly and

Presently a temple rose up out of the

Deucalion and Pyrrha entered it and
told their wish to the goddess The god

Depart from my temple, and cover your
heads and loosen the garments girt
about you, and throw behind your backs
the bones of your great mother" For
long time they were much amazed, and
Pyrrha prayed the goddess to forgive
her, but said she would never be so wick
ed as to cast behind her the bones of
her own mother. But Deuealion thought
that by the bones of their great mother
the goddess meant the stones of the
earth, which is the mother of us ALL at
least he thought it would be no harm
TO try. SO they yelled their heads and
loosened their garments, and taking
some stones in their hands cast them
behind their footsteps, when To- Won
derfui to relate the stones SO cast be-
gan to assume the shape of human be-
ings, and presently a hardy race, as be-
fitted such an origin, was walking upon
the earth. 1t is said that the stones
which Deueaiion threw became men, and
that those which Pyrrha threw women,
and in this way the world was repeo-
pied after the food.
