NEEDS LII

From Albuquerque Journal.
We want that automobile line from
this place to Roswell. Albuquerque
needs it in her business. The eight
thousand dollars that is required to
get it would bring us results worth
many times that sum. The gentleman
who is at the mead of the enterprise
is perfectly reliable. His name is a
sufficient guarantee that ne will do
all that he agrees to do But above
and beyond that is the fact that ne
does not ask us to pay him a cent
until the roa is put in condition, and
the cars are making regular trips
twice a day between Albuquerque
and Roswell. History is full of the
accounts of individuals and commu-
mites hat a been left to mourn
the loss of neglected opportunities,
and Albuquerque will put herself in
that class if n fails to take advan-
tage of the pending proposition. and
improve the present opportunity.
1t is we'll known that the eastern
portion of this Territory, Including
the Pecos Valley, is growing more
rapidly than any other section of the
Southwest, and in a very few years
the trade of that section will be
worth a great deal more than that
vi Oily OILC Inv dlSd III SOAhT
mercial reach of Albuquerque. But
SO far as business is concerned all
that rica and valuable section is a
sealed book to this town, n is like
ly to remain SO until a proper effort
is put forth on our part. We ought
to have a railroad to Roswell, but
that is a bigger thing than we a
handle, and h next best thing is
a good reliable auto line, capable of
carrying passengers, mails and light
freights. and making the distance be-
tween the two towns in sever OF
eight hours. And hat is well within
our reach. We can get it by putting
forth an effort SO slight that it is
hardly worth considering. The gen
tlemen of the Boosters Club can
raise all h money required in half
a day, and not work hard at that.
But if we sleep on our opportunity
we are likely to lose 1t. All the BUSH
ness trails in the Pecos Valley sec
ton of the Territory now lead tow
ard Ell Paso, and If we do not do
something to turn the attention of
the people in this direction, those
trails will soc become well-worn
highways, n hen 1t will be too
late for US to change them. But at
present our chance is good. With
irst-class auto coaches leaving each
town every morning and coming in
every evening, carrying passengers,
mails and express matter from the
one place to the other in a few hours,
the people of the two towns would
soon get acquainted, and be drawn
together, and their business rela-
tons would improve every day. There
should be no more delay about this
matter. The line should be secured
at once.

A Profitable Investment.

Editor Of The Earth, Chicago:
/ came to the Pecos Valley four
years ago this spring, more on ac-
count of the health of my family than
anything else. l bought an improved
farm of 10 acres close to the town
of Hagerman, and have found it a
profitable investment ever since.
Health has been restored to my fam
lily and we all fee hat the Pecos Val
lev is good enough for us.
This farm was all seeded to alfalfa,
a1d the first year of my residence
here we harvested something over
500 tons. going over the ground four
times: this hay sold from IS to $11 a
ton. The second and third seasons did
practically as well in the hands of a
renter who was willing to pay 50
cash rent per acre.
Last year 1 set out IS acres of ap-
pie orchard, which / think in a few
years will pay better than alfalfa.
There is no place on earth where APP
pies can be raised so well and easily
as in the Pecos Valley.
