Business Men of Roswell Would Buiio
to Fort Worth

Roswell, N. NJ, Sept. 30.-The bust
ness men of Roswell who have in hand
the task of Investigating probable
railroad developments here have
gathered a mass of interesting informa-
ton Some of it is of a nature that
makes 1t inadvisable to publish it at
this time, but the mention of a few
facts may not be amiss. The distance
from Fort Worth to Ell Paso via Ros-
well, over route contemplated is said
to be only sixteen miles longer than Ell
Paso's present rail connection with
Fort Worth. 1t is whispered that half
a dozen firms and corporations owning
large bodies of land through or near
which the proposed line runs have in
timated that they are ready to give sub
stantial aid to the undertaking. One or
two ere said to stand ready to give
81, 900 per mile for that portion of the
road passing through their lands, and
it is said they are even willing to do
that well or nearly so If it passes with
in five or ten miles of their holdings.
One man who controls a large body of
land IS said to have stated that he did
not know but what he would be willing
to build the road through his tract
himself. Fort Worth is said to be ready
to aid to the tune of S450. 900 to $780, 900,
and If Ell Paso can raise $3.50. 900 1t looks
very much as though there ought to be
something doing" before long. The
business men of Ell Paso will d. we'll to
take the advice of the Herald and in
clude Roswell in their excursion so as
to ascertain for themselves just what
the situation is like.
