STOckMEN

From Carlsbad On. M Current.
Unless more freight cars can be
built, the stockmen of New Mexico
would do well to plan some way to
drive cattle to market and pastures
or build and equip a railroad. During
the past spring the losses to stock
men on cou of lack of shipping
facilities have been hard to estimate,
but in Eddy county alone the loss
will probably aggregate $4,000. This
sum would buy at least 1000 stock
ars and it would seem that the stock
men might as well go into the rail
way business, purchase cars. lay track
and run their cattle east, as to lose
all by the delays of the kind exper-
fenced this season. Some people, how
ever, have the nerve to tell us we
have enough railroads to handle the
business, while every stockmen who
IS holding cattle waiting for airs will
confess to an average loss of 20 per
cent. The loss occasioned during the
season would built and equip a rail
way from Carlsbad east to the Texas
state line, then the people of the
plains in Texas will easily lose enough
il two years to build the line to
Quanah. From there the country is
thickly settled and it would be no
troubled to connect at some point or
points whereby the products of this
western country could be gotten to
market
