In some Of your late issues we

is contemplating the building OF the
projected line known as the Las Veg
as. Mora & Taos railroad. The hay,
grain and timber produced along this
line in the Sapello, Manuelitas. Cebol'

we hope that when the time comes
for locating the route that the wrang-

every enterprise so far comtemplat-
ed, as we'll as those carried to a
finish, will be disposed with, and that
the line will be established where
it will be Of the most benefit to the
people as we'll as to the road. We do
not believe in rag chewing; we be-
lieve that when man is ill-treated
he should either retaliate or keep his

themSel the free lands which the
Canadian government is DESTROYS of

The editors arrived in st. Paul yes

Recruits on the Range.
A short rain storm during the early
afternoon interfered somewhat with
the work, but succeeded in laying the
dust and cooling off the air. to the
pleasure of ALL Immediately on clear
ing off, the recruit class was sent to
the range to secure instruction, and as
a result there are many sore Shout
ders in camp this evening. The recoil
to the Springfield rifle is 1870 pounds,
and unless the piece is held firmly to
the shoulder a black and blue spot is
sure to be the result. This often
causes gun-shyness, and the men,
fearful of repetition, became careless,
and poor scores are a result. The men
this afternoon, however, were very apt
and Capt. Lee was well pleased with
the results. The first battalion will go
on the range tomorrow morning, and
the second battalion after dinner.
