LOW RATES TO ALAMOGDRDO
ROCk Island WIN OffOr Biz Inducements
to Hemeseekers.
MINNEAPOLIS TO ALAnOGORDO FOR s22

The Rock Island railway Off
cials have decided that Alamo
gordo is the coming town of the
great southwest and have already
laid their plans to bring thOus-
ands of excursiOnists here this
fall beginning in September and
extending through the so-called
winter months.
As an inducement to home
seekers, the Rock Island will
make rates from the north
to Alamogordo which will result
in more persons coming here
than at any other time. AS an
example of the inducements of
ferred, the Rock Island will sell
a round trip ticket from Mime
apolis to Alamogordo for $22,
and from Chicago for $40. Should
the purchaser desire to go be-
yond AlamogordO, say to FL Paso,
the rate will be increased by the
regular local round trip fare from
Alamogordo to FL Paso, which is
$3.50. This plan will accom-
plish the desired result, as few
if any would pay the $3.50 addi-
tional to go the S6 miles farther
south, after having paid only
S22, to travel over 1900 miles.
The railroads are largely in
strumental in building up any
new country and can assist very
materially in the progress of any
town, so the disposition of the
) Rock Island road toward Alamo
gordo can be taken as an indica-
t tion that the town and it's sur
? roundings look good to the Off
: cials of the road, and we will
certainly see very marked in
= crease in the number of desira-
BILE settlers that will reach Ala
S mogordo this fall.
Alamogordo has passed beyond
S the transition period, and the
: speculator in land and the mush-
! room business man have long
S since been supplanted by the in
e dustrious homeseeker and far
: mer and established business
houses, and those who come now
will find all business and social
conditions fixed as to their sta
I bility and character.
e The class of homeseekers that
l. have come to Alamogordo during
}, the past year are men who have
j. made a success where they came
e from, but fancy prices offered
e for their farms has induced them
e to come to part of the country
e where land is cheap, failure of
n crops is unknown, and where the
n climate will permit of all the
l. year round farming.
IS One of the best indications OF
l. the class that is settling in Ala.
" mogordo, is the fact that each
N arrival brings with him one OF
n more car loads of horses, imple
id ments, household goods, etc, anC
n best of all indications is founC
to in our bank deposits and thei
great increase, as we know it tt
be a fact that these homeseek
ers bring with them anywhere
y, ~ from $4,000 to $4,000 in rea
~ money, and deposit it in ou
ce banks. This class of settlemen
al. is bound to result in a city of so
E. lidity and reliability, and con
c'' tinued prosperity will be notice

dent OF the Ardmorc Heat and Gas
company. was in Ardmure Saturday
in consultation with \. C.Rcichelder-
fer. local manager oi the company's
interests, with reference to making
preparations for the immediate eXten.
sion OF the gas pipe already laid in
this city
Mr. Neely stated that all prepara-
tions for beginning the immediate in.
stallation Of the line have been CON
pleted The pipe 10 be- aid in the
city limits has been ordered and is
expected to arrive at an early date.
About five miles OF pipe has already
been laid in the paved and business
districts of the city. The pipe at pres.
ent in the ground is eight and slx-inch
mains. Twelve or fifteen additional
miles of four and siXinch pipe will
be laid in the residence portion Of
the city. just as soon as the pipe ar
rives.
Arrangements for securing the gas
has been made with the ArdmOre
Gas company This company owns
the gas wells, and is to secure the
right of way from the fields, dis
tance OF eighteen miles, to the city
limits. From the city limits the gas
is to be piped and distributed over
the town by the Ardmore Heat and
Light company. This agreement was
reached and the papers signed up at
conference Of the stockholders of
the two companies held two weeks
ago. Before that time each company
was endeavoring to get into the city
and furnish the gas. Now that the
agreement has been reached there is
nothing in the way of the immediate
installation of the gas" said Mr.
Nicely
The wells from which the supply
of gas is to be piped has capacity
of 10000 900 feet Of gas daily The
total consumption Of a town the size
Of Ardmore is estimated TO be some
thing like 100000 feet per day. with
such conditions existing the cost OF
gas will be very sman.
"The cost Of gas will be very
small" said Nj Neely, once We gel
in operation. The franchise which
we hold from the city allows a charge
Of fifty cents per thousand feet fo
gas. In my opinion, the charge viii
not be greater than twenty-five Il
thirty cents per thousand feet A
such a cost Ardmore should presen

ers."
