ANOTHER RAILROAD

IT now begins to look like San Diego county is to have railroads to spare. They are coming from every direction. The Los Ang- eles Mining Review is authority for the following:
 A dispatch from Santa Fe, x. NJ, last Wednesday, states that incorPation papers of the New Mexico-Southwestern K way Company have been filed in that city. The stated object is the construction of a railway (lS0 miles from Fl Paso, Texas, to the New Mexico-Arizona border, where 1t will connect with d road to be called the Arizona South western, to be built to San Diego Cal. If that road is built it will open up lot of new mining ter ritory in San Diego county.

 During the last half century no state in this United Union has been 90 extensively advertised as has California. The work has been done by traders, land spec ulators, railroad companies and everybody else. But nothing succeeds like success, and the success of Mir. Jacksou's garden, along with others that will follow his. will be an advertisement for the Imperial country that will impress itself upon the minds of the people.
 ENaggeration is so common in advertising new countries that 1t is expected. However, it is not. and has never been. the intention of the promoters of this enter prise, or of this paper, to repres- ent this country as being greater that truth and justice will war rant. A plain statement of facts Is all sufficient. We believe he half has not been told of the won derful resources which lie hidden in the soil of this region. The country will be adver- tised through the abundance and excellence of her productions.

ACCORDING to the newspap per reports from San Diego. the peo- pie of that city are indeed be- coming enthusiastic over a con nectiou with Imperial. The pro- posed wagon road seems 10 have been run down by a railroad. and Ii IS now an extension of the Cuyamaca railroad into the Inn perial country. The party which was here from that city few days since. 1t seems. stirred those peo- pie up on their return home, as they had never been stirred be- fore. They are now of the opin- ion. and rightly too. that today IS the time for action. and not tomorrow or next week. This country IS sure to spring from desolztion into a country of won derful productiveness. filled with homes of the ideal type that will be inhabited by a prosPerious. happy people, as anything can be, and that the volume of trade that is bound to seek markets else where will be large; goes without the saying ii; and that the first market offered to these people will be accepted. also goes with out the saying if; hence the ne cessity for San Diego to be up and doing.

GEORGE C. HUNT

Notable among the men con- nected with the reclamation of this arid region is the name of George C. Hunt of Los Angeles. Mir. Hunt has a large tract of land near Cameron lake, and has been at the Cameron camp several days. He spent Tuesday night here on his return to the city.
 Before leaving Wednesday morning he said that he never saw any work progress more nice ly than that of putting in the canal, and said 1t would be ready to receive the water from Salton channel inside of one more week, at which time the water would be there. In fact he said the the water has already reached that point, and only awaits the finishing touches of the canal work. which are being put on very rapidly. He thought water ought to reach Imperial in one week after II Is turned in from the Salton, which means that the water will be here in two weeks.
 While at the camp Mir. Hunt let from ,0OO to l,500 acres of land to men who are working on the canal, which will be planted to feed stuffs at once. Mir. Hunt gives these men the use of his land this year free, for which he deserves much credit.
 This end of the canal was com pleted Wednesday, extending through the townsite to Mesquite lake.

THE board of supervisors has ordered the county surveyor to survey the road from San Diego to the Imperial country, and the chamber of commerce has prom ised to raise the money that is lacking to put the road in good shape. This is d good move. Nobody will contradict that. A move for better roads IS never out of place. But while it is true that the wagon road is badly needed and will serve to turn the tide of business in that direction, 1t Is also true that d railroad will be required, and at once too. if this country continues tributary 10 San Diego. A stage line be- tween the two places will be a great convenience and can handle the business for d few months. Next year, however, fifty stage lines can not handle fifty per cent of the traffic and each year will double the business; and a railroad is the only final solu- tiou of the proposition.

Newton Crook, of Wayne county. Ohio, beats the record of the Chicago professor. He says he's never kissed a woman, never used liquor or tobacco and never had a razor on his face, or had his photo taken. He's either sim gularly free from minor vices or else he'll chnm up alongside old Ananias when he crosses the divide. One thing in favor of his veracity' is that he has lived to be os years old without the lightning chasing him. but there was a half ton meteor fell in Maryland the other night may be that it was after the all too streight Crook and missed its way.

Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas .Oklaho- ma and Indian Territory, possess a greater number of agricultural and horticultural resources than any state or states. territory or territories, in the American Union. Ii would not be far wrong to say that this section can produce profitably all that othcr states can produce profitabiy, and in addi- ton all which they cannot protitably produce. For this reason crop diastcrs do not seriously affect the Southwest except in circumscribed localities. When there are SO many birds in the flock the farmer is sure to get some of them every shot.-Texas Farm and Ranch.
 We fail to see why California was not added to the above list, as our re- sources in agriculture and horticulture surpass that of any state in the Union. Any question on this line will be for ever settled when the Imperial country is in good state of cultivation. It was perhaps typographical error that California was omitted.

THE SANTA Re CENTRAL.
Preliminary Surveys Completed = Les
Mileage Than Was Expected.

The New Mexican's information is to
the effect that engineer A. R. Kennedy
and his surveying corps have completed
the survey for the Santa Fe Central
railroad from this city via San Pedro to
Chameleon station on the Ell Paso and
Rock Island railroad in Lincoln county.
The survey makes the line shorter than
was expected. the distance from Santa
Fe to Chameleon station in Lincoln
county being 1865 miles. There will be
but one extensive bridge on the line
and that will be over the Galisteo river
at q point where an excellent rock
bottom has been found. Between San
Pedro in Santa Fe county and Progreso
in Valencia county there are several
tangents one of them being 40 miles
long. The road for the most part will
be very easy and cheap in construction
and thereafter in maintenance. 1t will
run few miles east of the great salt
lakes in Valencia county, which the New
Mexican understands have been secured
by the company. The line runs within
q distance of from IL to 20 miles of the
extensive timber lands and forests OF the
Manzano range, and about the same
distance from a large deposit OF sulphur.
Via the Santa Fe Central the Ell Paso &
Rock Island and the ElPaso & Northeast
ern the distancefrom Santa Fe to El Paso
will be as follows: From Santa Fe to
Chameleon station 116x miles, from
Chameleon on the Ell Paso & Rock Island
to Carrizoza station on the El Paso &
Northeastern 65 miles, from Carrizoza
station to Ell Paso via the Ell Paso &
Northeastern 142 miles, o total of 32a1S
miles, as against 800 miles, via the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway.
The prospects for the construction OF
the Santa Fe Central railroad are very
bright indeed, although nothing definite
concerning the commencement of the
work can be learned from the officials
of the road.

STRUCK The NEGRO'S TRAIL:
"Bossie" Francis is Hiding in the Woods
Near Strasburg.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-The
scene in the hunt for "Bossie" Francis,
the murderer of Miss Mary Henderson
at Columbus, shifted during the night
to Strasburg, west of Holden. There
appears no doubt that Francis jumped
off the Missouri Pacific train at Stras-
burg last night and made for the
woods nearby. At noon it was believ-
ed that the posse was close on the
trail of Francis.
A SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-This af-
ternoon, the chase begun afresh this
morning near Strasburg, for "Bossie"
Francis, was practically given up, the
bloodhounds refusing to take the
scent. 1t was hinted that the murderer
made good his escape by the aid Of
white persons
A special to the Star says: "There are
dozens Of men in Johnson county who
believe that Francis was paid to muir

who wanted to get her out of the way"

THE UNITED STATES LAND COM.
MISSION.
The United States land commission
for the selection of lands donated by
the United States to the various terri
torial educational and charitable insti-
tutions and for reservoir purposes has
received official notification from the
department of the interior that it must
cease work as no appropriation for the
present fiscal year was made for Its
maintenance and to pay expenses.
This is very regrettable circumstance
as it is absolutely necessary for the
best interests of the territory that Sc
lections Of public lands so donated
should be pushed as rapidly as possi-
BILE as the valuable lands are being ta-
ken up with great rapidity and will
soon be beyond the reach of the land
commission for selection.

Special to the New Mexican.
Santa Rosa, Aug. 31.--The selection
of Santa Rosa as the function of the
Rock Island and FL Paso & Northeast
ern, as we'll rs the. definite location OF
| the townsite has stimulated local busi-
ness men to greater exertions than ever.
Here buildings are erected daily and the
town commences to assume the aspect
| of a fair sized place. Some new enter
prise is started almost every week and
the list of public accommodations has
been increased but still there is q great
field left for speculation, and capitalists
will not fail to see the opportunity. The
town will need water works and a prop
erly located reservoir which all could
be constructed at a comparatively small
expenditure. The water of the Santa
Rosa river could be utilized for an elec-
trio power house. Santa Rosa with the
surrounding towns and hamlets would
give ample patronage to make the In
vestment profitable.
One pillar of the bridge across the
Pecos is finished and the other is in
course of construction. The bridge is
to be rs feat above low water mark.
Scores of visitors can be seen here every
day, especially on Sundays, US the cons
truction works are quite attractive and
the people of the neighborhood are
anxious to see the railroad in operation.
Since the reiroad has ceased to be
mere talk and has become matter OF fact,
there can be no doubt but what Santa
Rosa will receive extensive repair shops
and round houses. which will give en-
ployment to many hands.
The transfer OF the post Office from
Celso Baca to Mr.. Marsh, which on
account of some technical mistake in
the papers did not take place until the
23rd inst, was the occasion for quite a
dispute, the outside being anxious to get
in and the inside in no hurry to get out.
The tracks of the railroad are laid to
within 60 miles west and s5 miles cast.
The construction forces are working day
and night to complete the work.
A rival town has been started dis
tasce of about ten miles from Santa
Rosa. The baby has no name yet, but
excellent qualities to recommend itself.
It is located in the basin watered by the
streams tributary to the Pecos. All tho
ground is taken up and many buildings
are in the course of construction. Water
can be found ut depth OF six to ten
feet and the ground is FREQ from alkalt.
1t would make an ideal place for or
chards and gardens,and no doubt the
near future will see this spot transformed
into we'll cultivated acres. The promot-
ers of this new townsite are confident OF
being on the right side of the fence.
The place has certain advantages as the
railroad passes right through its center.
Tho time may not be far off before the
settlement grows into lively little town:
The first train which runs from Liberal
to Ell Paso will mark a new era for the
parts of New Mexico which it crosses.
