One of the greatest business deals
ever negotiated in New Mexico has
lust been consummated.
The st. Louis, Rocky Mountain and
Pacific company, recently organized
with a capital of eleven millions dol
lars, has today acquired from the Max
well Land Grant company the Ration
coal fields. the largest body of coal
under one ownership in the United
States and probablylin the world. This
field comprises ABOUT $4,000 acres,
and includes an area OF more than
500 square miles. The coal is high
grade and produces first class smelter
coke. The purchasers will. through
their subsidiary company, the st.
Louis Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Railway company, proceed immediate
" to build and equip 120 miles of
standard guage steam railroad. This
railroad will occup the Cimarron

Following IL the address OF Presi.
dent Roosevelt, delivered yesterday
afternoon before the convention OF the
National Educational association.
am glad to have the chance OF
greeting the National Educational
Association; for in all this demo-
cratic land there Is no more genuine
ly democratic association than this.
II Is truly democratic, because here
each member meets every other mem
Der as his peer without regard to
whether he is the president of one
of the great universities or the new
est recruit to that high and honorable
profession which has In Its charge
the npbringing and training Of those
boys and girls who in few short
years will themselves be settling the
destinies OF this nation. II Is not too
much to say that the most character
istic work Of the republic is that done
by the educators, for whatever our
shortcomings as nation may be, we
have at least firmly grasped the fact
that we can not do our part In the
difficult and all important work Of
seif.government, that we can not rule
and govern ourselves. unless we ap-
proach the task with developed minds
and trained characters. You teachers
make the whole world your debtor.
II you did not do your work well this
republic would not endure beyond the
span of the generation. Moreover as
an incident TO your avowed work, you
render some well-nigh unbelievable
services TO the country. For instance,
you render TO the republic the prime,
the vital service Of amalgamating into
one homogeneous body the children
alike of those who are born here and
Of those who come here from so many
different lands abroad. You furnish
common training and common
ideals for the children Of all the mixed
peoples who are here being fused into
one nationality. 1t is in nd small de
gree due to You and your efforts that
we are one people instead Of a grour
Of jarring peoples.

TEN already In operation. The Colo
RADIO & Southern and the Rock Island
are the two roads under suspicion, and
as these roads are supposed to be
close together there Is room for be-
lief that they are working In conjunc.
ton in.acquiring the great coal fields.
A significant point Is that the new
railway to be built by the st. l.. X. M.
& p. company will have its eastern
terminus on the Colorado & Southern.
That the new road, besides develop
ing the coal fields and a resourceful
region, Is destined to form link In
another transcontinental line. is re-
garded as certainty. With the Santa
Fe building a double line TO the coast,
the logic of the situation furnishes al
most positive proof that the Rock ISL
and must continue its lines to the Pa
cific coast. There seems to be very
reasonable belief that this company,
! finding its westward way barred 10
the southwark, is planning to extend
its line through the only available pass
| in the Rocky mountains through
northern New Mexico and on TO the
coast.
There will be much indirect advant-
! age to Las Vegas as a result of the
development Of the northern part of
the territory, but there will, in all
probability, be much more of direct
advantage, The building of the line
into the Taos valley from the north
with the practical certainty of its ex'
tension westward will give the strong
est kind of boost to the proposed
road from Las Vegas through the
beautiful Mora valley to Taos.
