upon the Editors.

The cordiality of Trinidad and
rnbounded hospitality shown was
.xemplified Saturday evening just
before starting for the depot when
tbe various members stopping at
,be Columbian hotel went down
10 the office to pay their bills and
we're politely informed by the
clerk that they were all settled.
Trinidad people headed by the
press club, as token of apprecia-
ton of the visiting newspapermen,
with their characteristic enterprise
bad been in and paid the whole bill.
Arriving at the Colorado &
Sutherp depot we found a hand
some Pullman car with long
streamers extending on each side
bearing the words "Arkansas
Valley Press Association, Colo
ndo," which was at our SER
vice for ten days trip through
Texas. A large number of Trim
idad people were at the depot TO
bid goodbye and wish us hap
py and safe trip. Soon the train
started ard then we began to get
better acquainted. 1t is a jolly
party, composed of 26 persons,
eight of whom are ladies. We
visited with one another, told
stories and indulged in social con-
verse until 1890 when the porter
began making down berths and by
ll:30 all had retired. The road
bed is so smoothe we did not wake
until 7:30. Breakfast and Inner
were taken in the cafe car. At
2:30 that afternoon, which was
Sunday, a Sunday school with
Mr.. G w. Bowman o. the Canon
City Clipper, as superintendent,
was held in the cor. all members
Of the Association participating,
and while rushing over the ex-
tended plains Of Northern Texas
at 40 miles an hour a most inter
esting school it proved. Itopened
with two familiar songs, and we
have some elegant singers on
board, then came prayer, more
songs, and the Sunday school
Lesson taught in all schools that
day throughout the country.
About 4:30 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon We arrived at the grand
Union depot in Fort Worth and
were met by committee of the
Forth Worth Press Club. On
stepping from the car the first
man we met was I. O. Walker,
city editor of the morning paper,
Chairman of the press committee,
and an old friend who published
a rival paper in the same town
with us 25 years ago. He has
grown a little grey in the harness,
but is bright and friendly as of
old.
We were only to spend the
night in Fort Worth and on our
return remain two days in the city,
when we will be the guests of the
city and the press club. About
every member went to church
that night, but all rounded up at

ELECTRIC POWER PLANT.
Big Proposition Being Discussed Over in
Union County.

a big electric power plant tor east Union
county is again talked OF and may become
a reality during the coming year. About
year ago the scheme was considered by
parties representing capitalists and vari
Gus locations examined on the several
streams ot this section OF the county, and
II seems that when all things are consid.
cred that Eagle creek is especially adapted
To such plant.
The scheme is to build a ditch from
Eagle creek, near Sanger, about thirty
miles east Of Union, for the purpose of
furnishing power for operating dynamos
and generating electricity for distribution
to the adjacent mining camps and towns
of Union county for electric lighting and
power purposes. II Is believed that there
is already sufficient business IN sight to
justify the building OF the plant and the
rapid increase OF business Is hardly prob.
lematical.
Power could be transmitted to Cornu.
copia, Sparta, Sanger, the Pine and Eagle
valley towns and the mines Of east Union
county and even Union, and other not too
distant places.
The undeveloped power Of Eagle creek,
which is estimated to have over 1000
inches OF water at the lowest stage, is
very great and II it is harnessed as is pro.
posed, il will materially assist in the de.
velopment OF Union county and her
mnes.-Union Republican.

Paso via the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre,
and Pacific Railroad and its proposed
extension, especially when it Is under
stood that the copper smelter will use
s., 900 or Sc, 900 worth of coal and coke
svery day in the year.
1t was figured that If the projected
extension of Rio Grande, Sierra Ma
Dire, and Pacific railway wonld not cost
more than 81, 500 900, 1t would prove
paying Investment from the 6rst.
General Manager Ramsey who is sn
engineer as we'll as q practical railroad
man, came to the couclu sion, after bis
horseback survey, that the extension
would not cost more. The first % or
80 miles of the extension could be laid
at less than $4,000 the mile. For
that distance there would be few cur
YES, practically no grading. and no
out. 1t would cross series of level
strike the rugged mountains of the
Continental Divide. Mr.. Ramsey. at
ter several days searching, found that
two tunnels and long bridge, with
considerable number of outs and fills
altogether about SO miles of rough
work-would place the road again in a
level country, with no difficult work
for the remainder Of the distance.
The line would run near some of the
LII hCAtSo.
1t would pass close by the Roy and
the Cinco de Mayo mines, which
now ship ore 125 miles on the backs
of burros, and make it pay. There
are many valuable deposits of low
grade ore which this road would de-
velop. Besides touching good Mining
and cattle country. 1t would pass
through several valleys we'll watered
and adapted to agriculture. The
Mormons, too, in their new colony at
Morelos-which on account of valuable
lands and ample water supply, will
soon have population of several

road.
Another project the Rio Grande,
Sierra Madre, and Pacific road is con-
sidering is line about 80 miles 10
length, to run from Casas Grandes into
the Sierra Madre Mountains and touch
the pine-timber forests. Several mill
lion of acres of timber lands are found
here and there ia great demand for
cheap lumber.
The next two or three years promise
to bring about considerable develop
ment of the resources of this consular
district. Along with railroad cons
truction comes invariably the opening
of mines and the improvent of cattle
ranches. The bases of prosperity in
this section of Mexico are cattle raising
