GREAT ENTERPRISE
One of the Most Res0urceful Sec.
tions of New Mexico will be
Opened.
NEED FOR GOOD HARD WORK

There is a very reasonable hope
that Las Vegas may secure a new and
much needed line Of railway. Accord
ing to a most reliable authority. the
Santa Fe system is gathering statis-
tics relating to the Mora and Taos
country, estimating the cost Of build
ing road in that section and gath
ering information regarding the FEAST
bility Of a branch from the main line
at Las Vegas to run through the Mora
valley and open up the resourceful
Taos country.
That such line would be Of infinite
Importance to this city needs no say
Ing. That it would open up one Of
the finest sections of New Mexico is
equally automatic. The Mora valley is
one of the finest agricultural sections
Of the west. The country through
which the road Is proposed to run
has inexhaustible supplies Of coal and
the timber interests are Of the great
est Importance.
The board OF trade is interesting It's
sell In the matter Of the road. The
secretary is collecting data concern
ing the resources Of the country for
submission to the Santa Fe company.
This is not matter, however, for
Las vegans alone. The people Of Mo-
ra and Taos county are quite as deeply
interested in securing the proposed
lines as the people Of Las Vegas, They
are in . better oe;iioR. s'so, 70 secure
the required DATA The Ortic sug'
gests that the citizens of Mora call
meeting and appoint committees to
gather full statistics concerning the
agricultural products Of the valley,
the timber, mineral and other re-
sources. and represent as strongly as
possible the advantages to accrue to
the company II the road De construct
ed. Such data could be submitted to
, Secretary Money of the board OF
trade, who will incorporate it with
his own report to the company. Some
, day the Las Vegas, Mora Valley &
Taos road will be built. The develop
ment Of one Of the best regions OF
New Mexico depends upon it. 1t is
another case where present enterprise
will not be thrown away. There are
a number of very promising enterpris-
es looking at Las Vegas. To some ex-
tent. at least, it rests with the city,
whether or not, the enterprises be-
come operative.

five minutes after six the gate wal
opened and the human tide began tt
flow in. The jam at the narrow en-
trance soon became terrific, threaten
ing serious results to the struggling
mass of half fainting women and
children.
Many women had their head dres
ses or wells torn of, and some were
lifted, exhausted, over the wooden en-
closure and out of the crush. Fort
unately there were no serious acci
dents and ambulances were not sum
moned.
All ranks and stations OF life were
represented in the throng. Many were
working people; there we're also
groups Of convent girls under the
care of nuns, and bands OF schoo
boys. headed by priests. Crowds con
tinued to pass before the biel
