White Oaks eagle. (White Oaks, N.M.) 189?-190?, 1902-01-02

Since the town was officially
plated, recorded and passed to
individual owners several addi-
tiOnS have been made, viz: City
Lode on the south; Paden's on the
southeast; Kempton's 1st, and I'd,
on the northeast; the BuCkhOrn
on the north; the Leavonworth and
Jewett on the northwest, and
Golfers on the southwest.
White Oaks, situated 3, 500 feet
above sea level, has one of the
most delightful climates in the
Union. Notwithstanding its al
titude, the storms of winter deal
very gently with its inhabitants,
and the climate in summer and fall
is perhaps not eXcelled by any
country; the figure of hyperbole
is not intended in the expression
used, either. The manner of in
greSs and egress is by the FL PasO

an eastern connection, and will
be merged into the Rock Island

The lots were held, as squatters
then held a great deal of public
land, by occupancy and improve
ment, and, of course, no title
passed to the locators. But IN
1882 the Territorial Legislature
passed an act "regulating the
sale of town lotS,' and former
act of Congress empowering Pro-
bate Judges to enter public land
for toWnsite purposes, James A.
TomlinSon. who was then Probate
Judge of Lincoln county, entered
so acres, which comprise the orig
inal plat of the town, in the Las
Cruces Land Office, secured a
patent and deeds were issued to
parties holding lots under the
rules of the local organizations;
for town recorder, John Y. Hew-
lit, had previously been chosen,
and he had a complete record of
all lots located and the subsequent
transfers.

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

Plymouth congregational
church dates its organization 1898
but its roots antedate that by
years. 1t is the outgrowth of
White Oaks Congregational
church, which began its work
almost with the opening of the
town for settlement. Its mem
berShip does not rival some city
churches in numbers but it does
in effectiveness. g.
Its members hold to
vigorous and stimulating Gospel,
and are energetic and enthusias-
tic in whatever they undertake to
do. AS an organization it stands
firmly on the principles of congre-
gationalism. 1t is truly a union
church, associated with other
union churches. An independent
church, cooperating with other
independent churches. It's door
and it's heart are ever open tc
Christians of every name and,
creed. Its members are not COM
mitted to any philosophy of faith;
christian spirit and christian
character are the only requisites
of membership. They hold that
the idea of the church is a body
of brethren and sisters, associa-
ted together for christian work,

THE TOWN of WHITE OAKS.

The early history of White Oaks
is but repetition of the history
of many western mining camps;
the discovery of gold, the yellow
glittering substance that was the
primary cause of the vast and
dangerous explorations made IN
the 18th century, attracting the
prospector, who was followed by
actual settlers, many of whom are
still residing in and around the
little city ofsWhite Oaks.
In the year 1879 gold was dis
covered on Baxter mountain, one
mile northwest of the town, and
some rich strikes made, creating
considerable excitement, and quite
a number of locations made: the
two most prominent being the
HOmeStake lOdeS, two claims
bearing this name, but afterwards
designated as the North Home
stake and the South Homestake;
and these two, in the past twenty
years, became two of the three
greatest producers Of gold in the
camp. While these locations
were being made on BlXter NOUN
tain a small settlement had
gathered around White Oaks
Spring, about two and Onehalt
miles east of the present. town
site, and from which point the
water supply was secured.
People began to flock in and a
demand for a townsite became
general, and Geo. B. Barber, ar
attorney now residing at Lincoln
was deputized by the Surveyor
General of the Territory, anC
officially surveyed the towr
in the first days of May,
1880, embracing; an area which
covered the present limits of the
original plat of the town.
A local organization was form
ed and an agreement entered into
by the settlers whereby a mar
might locate two lots, and fur
ther provision required each MAJ
so locating lots to erect building
thereon; thus accounting for tn,
numerous little picket "shacks'
that are still standing.

will be made and through trains
running between El Paso and
Kansas City by March 1st, 1902.
The nearest station is Carrizozo,
twelve miles distant, with which
we have stage connections twice

On the main street of the town
may be seen today quite a number
of business houses, some old resi-
denters Of course among the lot,
many modern structures, con-
structed of adobe, brick and stone,
and thriving trade is enjoyed
by their occupants. A number
of really elegant residences adorn
the different parts of the city,
some of which would attract at
tention in a much larger city.
White Oaks has three churches;
Congregational, Methodist and
Baptist, each having a numerous
membership, and enjoying good

CLASS DISTINCTION.

Some sort of class feeling is, we be- lieye, inherent in human nature. Peo- Die often speak as though these de- marcations existed only among the middle and upper classes. but such is not the fact. Indeed it is very far from the fact. No more misleading labels than 'etlle classes and the mas sesa were ever invented. There are no masses, rightly speaking. Class distinctions go almost down to the bot tom: not quite of course, because there Is always a residuum who through their fault or their misfortune have neither the pride nor the imagination to sort themselves. Money is moi an absolute criterion of social position. Chafacter-in so far as it is reflected Ill propriety of behavior-counts for q great deal. 4 rowdy family sink di- reetly though they may have money to waste. and q respectable widow may retain her superiority i'll the face of grinding poverty. The acme of good manners-the very badge of gentility-. is to be''quiet," never to let the sound proceed out of your dwelling. This sign of social distinction is appreciat- ed down to the very bottom On the upper rungs of the social ladder we should say that those social distinc- lions which can be defined at all rest upon birth, money and brains Among the poor they rest upon money and manners. and the latter. alas. are, be- low q certain wage. woefully depend ent upon the former-London Speeta- tor.

In a cage constructed of mosquito netting in the grounds of the depart ment of agriculture at Washington Professor c. L. Marlatt is fostering colony of the most villainous-looking bugs, s'Chilocorus similis' is the name which MT Marlatt gives to his interesting family, but translates that into English by saying they are a spe- cies of slady-birds." Some months ago MT Marlatt went to the orient in search of the natural enemy of the San Jose scale which has played such havoc with the peach orchards of this country and there found that the above named insect preyed upon the scale with extraordinary ferocity, keeping the plague under control. He found the chilocorus ill China, between Pc kin and the Great Wall. He immedl- ately shipped q large number of the ladies to this country, but only two survived the ocean trip. That was sufficient, however, for the genus is not composed of NIalthusianites, nor even modern society ladies and Tn- der the tender nursing of Mir Marlatt, who has spent his entire time since re turning capturing scales for their food and keeping up the fires, they have produced dainty little family of ninety-nine members and some of their offspring are already preparing to start establishments of their own, de- spite the Encouragement which the beef trust is offering to those contem- plating matrimony. As soon as a census of the colony reveals a popula- ton of q few thousand the professor will turn it loose upon an emaciated and almost defunct peach grove which is suffering from the ravages of the scale and he thinks at least some of the trees will be saved. In time it will be the policy of the department to distribute the s'ladies'' among orchardists who are plagued with the scale and MT Marlatt believes that the slaughter of the San Jose infants will cause Yyeyler to turn green with envy and Herod to writhe ill his grave.

The immediate situation is chiefly controlled by the strike, writes Henry Clews in his weekly letter An early solution of this difficulty would help the market, but at this writing it looks as if no settlement was in sight until after q further trial of endur- ance. Both sides to the controversy maintain silence as to the main points at issue. which render it diff cult to arrive at the real merits of the dispute. The demands of the miners are for better pay and shorter hours
 The accumulation of fabulous for tunes, largely through speculations, together with the rewards of legiti- mate enterprise and ability, naturally stimulates the desire for better condi- tions in the ranks of labor. where the fact that these big capitalists usually pluck the larger share of their for tunes from the smaller capitalists rather than from the laborer is gen orally overlooked. On the other hand, in the case of the coal strike. the oper- ators very naturally feel that this is a question of whether the union or the owners are to be masters. So long as this is the issue there is but one posi- ton for the operators to take, and that is to fight it out to a successful issue. Whether recognition of the union is an issue or not. is not made public; but here also is a point which the unions must some day concede. Responsibility must go hand in hand with power. At present the unions exert tremendous power and practi- cally no responsibility; contracts with them have no binding force, and re- dress for violation is impossible. The unwillingness, therefore. of the unions to take on the corporate form and as- sume responsibility is an element of weakness in their cause which only they can rectify. Very likely this is an issue which will play a part in fu- ! ture labor controversies The out come of this struggle is of vital inter. est to the stock market, and an un- favorable issue would probably depress othet than the coal shares.

COURTSHIP IN SPAIN.

1il Spain the courtship begins with gifts of flowers. and the wedding ends with shower of blossoms on the cou- ple who pass into floral bower on the roof of the new home The suitor begins his courtship by asking for a gourd of water at the home where the object of his affections lives. If this request is granted he may persist in his attentions. but if it is denied the mat ter ends there. Later the man calls again. accompanied by musicians and torch-bearers. and while the mandolin players strum their instruments the lovers companion makes his advances. Any time during the courtship the suit or may be rejected by the gift of pumpkin. Three times he must make formal suit for wife. as his request cannot be granted at first But if her father refuses the third time he may consult a magistrate who demands that the daughter be produced or that her father gives his consent to the marriage provided he is an honorable man. He can then carry off his bride But this emergency does not often arise.-June Woman's Homo Compan- ion.

Descending upon opinions alleged 10 have been expressed on the sidewalk question by two members of the board of public works, the American consld- CTS one mans views sentimental and the others practical. Of course 1t starts out to back up the commissioner who stood for the practical plan, but before it gets through it unconsciously mental man by admitting that it is too much to expect a man to furnish good walking for others who do not help to furnish it for him." This is the sentimental mans position regarding the building and maintaining of side walks They are the property of the city and it is the plain duty of the city to care for them. There is no evidence of unfair discrimination in favor of the poor in this, nor anything which would lead one to believe that it was aimed at the rich. The American may regard it partial and sentimental, but ill our opinion it is eminently fair to all and in strict accordance with good busi- ness principles. The public owns the sidewalks and the public uses them.
 Why should few be compelled to shoulder the entire cost of constructing them? But the law says they shall and while it remains so people will have to be governed by it. The Ameri- can should also bear in mind that the discussion to which it calls attention did not grow out of a difference as to the city's right to enforce sidewalk
 orders CT the need of keeping them in good repair. What marked the part ing of the ways was should citizens who failed to do the work be railroad ed into court or should the city attend to it and charge the cost to the owners.

The people of Waterbury should feel proud of their two state military organizations. Always leading the brigade in point of merit, last month G and 4 ran neck and neck race and reached the splendid marking of 100, which is perfect, and that means much when it is taken into considera- tion that new men are being added to the ranks at nearly every stated meeting. The officers of the compa- nies are to be congratulated, and the men forming the two companies de serve much praise.
