THE GREATER LAS VEGAS.

Recent word from New York re.
ports the purchase Of the Colorado
& Wyoming railway running from
Trinidad to Tercio. by the Denver &
Rio Grande which is a logical
sequence. owing TO the large holdings
OF the Gould interests in the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company and also in the
Denver 4 Rio Grande railway.
From Tercio a line may be extend.
ed across the mountains into the
Taos valley, and undoubtedly a line
will be built from Tercio to u con
nection with the Phelps-D Dodge line
at Dawson, the latter distance being
less than fifty miles.
The Short Line, now in prospect Of
building by Messrs. Phelps Dodge
4 company. crosses the Atchison,
Topeka 4 Santa Fe road at Las We
gas-the city OF largest commercial
Importance In New Mexico.
Its commanding natural position
will justify a population OF fifty
thousand and there can be no reason
able doubt but that Las Vegas viii

needs 10y Is to get the Snort Line
In operation to furnish the adequate
railroad and trade connections.
The city today shows the enter
prise and progressive spirit OF III
citizens. 1t has electric street rail

THE FlaEMEN.

Las Vegas Is getting to be a conven-
ton city OF much popularity. The city
has had the privilege OF entertaining
many conventions and expects to en-
terrain a goodly number this year.
For none, however, will 1t have a
warmer welcome than for the visit
ing firemen, who will hold their an
nual convention and tournament dur.
ing the fair.
Firemen are picturesque indivldu-
ais, but nevertheless they are among
the most Indispensable Of our citizens.
Scratch a fireman and you will find a
brave, honest. capable man, ready to
cope with any difficulty and danger
that may beset him In the discharge
OF his trenuou duties. Las Vegas
owes her practical immunity from
losses by fire to her excellent fire
men. We are certain that Other
cities and towns Of New Mexico have
Just as much reason to value theil
firemen and that they are just al
good fellows as we have here.
/ The successful fireman must bt
! courageous and alert. ready to sacri
flee himself even to his life to the
welfare Of the community. New
Mexico firemen will compare favor
ably with any and Las Vegas will be
rejoiced Of the opportunity OF be
slowing hospitality upon the visiting
members OF the craft during the fair
