in this territory to have the land on

the same kind of land on the other
side of a fence, because it happens
to belong to a grant, zoe in at a valu-

What Hagerman and the Pecos Val

40 question but what we have one of
the finest alfalfa and fruit countries
in the world. in fact we can grow
anything hat will grow in a semi
tropical climate to an advantage and
profit. There are a great many crops
that the farmers would like to grow
but where they get up against the
proposition of marketing it they quit
right there, as the railroad or express
companies will charge such a rate
for hauling it, or if they don't put the
rate on, it will be so long in transit
to its destination. Now if we had two
railroads, that is two roads under sep
arate and distinct management and
the stock owned by different people,
we would then be able to get ears to
ship our stuff and we would also get
rates that would look mighty small
alongside OF those we now get. Ha-
german can't build a railroad to FL
Paso or some eastern point in Texas,
neither can any of the other towns
in h Valley, though some of them
seem to think they can do this very
thing. But if they will all get togeth-
er, we a get another railroad, and
no matter where it hits the valley all
are going to receive a benefit. We
would suggest that all towns in the
