BEST LINE IN THE COUNTRY
Is What a Santa Fe Man Says of
the White Oaks Route
A Few Bouquets.
An IMPROVED PULLMAN SERVICE
Will Be Inaugurated Between Deming
and Albuquerque-General Busi-
ness Of Santa Fe Better
Than Ever.

w. R. Brown, travelling agent of the
Santa Fe, with headquarters at FL Paso,
stopped in Alamogordo Saturday, while
en- route home from Captain, Lincoln
and White Oaks trip. 1t was Mr.
Browns first visit to the towns around
the White Oaks terminus and he was
decidedly impressed that the activity in
evidence there portends most prosper
Gus era. He said:
"The mines are apparently doing
we'll Large bodies of rich ore are be-
ing opened in the older properties and
the stimulus given prospecting since
the advent Of the railway, has been pro-
life of excellent results. Districts
which were formerly considered mac
cessble, are now being developed and
the feasibility of shipping low grade ore
is made apparent by low freight rates.
This fact is a source of great encourage
ment to prospectors.
"The Santa Fe is proiiting to great
extent through the mining development,
for. in addition to having a major por-
tion of the haulage on mining machin-
cry. from the east, it secures the ore
shipments from the properties opened
on the west slope of the mountains.
Il was agr9eably surprised in the
White Oaks route. Accustomed. as we
are, to fast trains, superior equipment
| and scheduled time, it was natural fol
me to expect something on the Jerk
water" order of road so new and Of
such short mileage. | have no hest
fancy in saying that the White Oaks
route is a pleasing departure from the
rule of western short lines The roaC
bed is in first class condition, the equip
ment is excellent, and the service is ;
wonder 1t is better handled than any
similar line in the country. Superin
tendent Greig deserves to have a few
boquets thrown at him and he vii
doubtless appreciate one coming from {
railroad man more than he would from
anyone else.
"No, the Santa Fe did not make &
rate during the teachers convention
/ 1t was a purely Texas affair and We die
not expect much passenger traffic on ac
count of it, Nevertheless, we did fail
business. and we estimate that the mum
Der carried into FL Paso for the occasion
amounted to between 500 and GOO.
great many went out on our road. The
White Oaks route certainly did a iinC
business and all of the FL Paso railway
men now take off their hats when Greis
or Alexander come to town,
''The general business of the Santi
Fe is better than ever. In fact, tn,
road is doing big business. An i'm
proved Pullman service will be inaugu
rated between Deming and Albuquer
que, shortly, and then our many pat
rons from this section will be more thai
ever in love with the service
Mr. Brown is one of f. B. H0ughton'
brightest hustlers, and his affabiIity
ready fund of valuable information an,
superior business qualifications, max
him welcome visitor throughout thi

ReCOlleCtions of ClOudcrOft and Al
amOgOrdO Will Always Linger
in His Memory.
THE PRIHEVAL ATTRACTNEAESS
Should Not Be Marred By the Vandalism
Of Civilization Prediction as to
Population AlamOgOrdO
Especially Favored.

Mr. D. c. Vann, special representa-
tive of the Chicago Record, who has
been here and in Cloudcroft during the
past week in the interest of the histor-
cal department of his paper, was par
ticularly enthusiastic in his praises of
Cloudcroft and charmed with the enter
prise evinced by the business men of
Alamogordo. To News representa-
tive he said;
"The Impressions that / carry away
of this favored section and its people
will always linger in my memory as a
particularly pleasant recollection. No
where in the West is there summer
resort so cool, pleasant and beautiful as
Cloudcroft, and it is my earnest hope
that the vandalism of civilization will
not be permitted to destroy the prim-
eval attractiyeness of that place. The
chief beauty of Cloudcroft lies in its
natural conditions, and efforts towards
modern architecture and metropolitan
advancement would only mar the scenic
delights which now appeal so forcefully
to the pleasure seeker. | predict that
the place will have a population of 5000
within the next five years and that it
will be of great benefit in aiding the
permanent growth of Alamogordo.
This section promises more than
that of any other region in the South
west Alamogordo is especially favored,
for it is the center of great fruit grow
ing, agricultural, mining and stock
country and these diversified industries
cannot fail to give the Magic City a
solid financial backing"
Mr.. Nann is one of the hardest work
ing and brightest young newspaper men
on the road. His genteel appearance,
fluent conversation and sparkling wit
readily ingratiates his personality into
the good graces of all whom he APP
proaches, and when one leaves him, it
| is with regret that it is necessary to
quit the presence of such well inform
ed, vari-experienced, and brilliant man.

cloudy, good music, plenty Of dancing,

pleasant for their visitors. There was
a slight collision in the fiat mems
race, the man in the lead stumbling and
the one directly behind getting quite a
