FORT GARLAND
TO QUEsTA
Denver and Rio
Crande to Build
Line This Year
TAOS COUNTY TO Be DIVIDED
Great Development Plans for
Northern New Mexico
Under Consideration

THE Denver and Rio Grande Rail-
road has completed the final survey
for standard gauge line from Fort
Garland, Colorado TO Questa, Taos
county, and | expect the road to be
built by September IT, said George B.
Paxton of Red River, Taos county,
who Is in the city for few days. At
| present the engineers are running
lines to lower the grade over La yeta
pass. Later they will survey the line
from Questa to Taos and thence to
, Embudo, where it will connect with
the present Antonito-Sanla Fe line,
which will be standard gauge in the
course of a few years, at the same time
changing its route into Santa Fe so as
to come via Tesuque instead of Buck
man HILL This will mean a great i'm
petus for the development of northern
Santa Fe and Taos counties.
Mr.. Paxton has great faith in the
future of northern Taos county. His
irrigation proposition on the Red
river is an assured success and $4,000
acres in the Sunshine valley will be
brought under ditch. 1t is the plan,
some time this summer, to have an
auction day of lands, similarly to the
plan adopted in the development OF
large tracts of land in Colorado, and
especially the Costilla grant, whose
development is one of the factors
which has decided the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad to build it's
standard gauge branch from Fort
Garland to Questa at once.
Mn Paxton says that 10000 horse
power are flowing to waste in the
streams of Taos county. In connec-
ton with his big Red River Sunshine
Valley project there will also be
power proposition. Taos county Is
one of the best watered counties Of
the Territory and has about a score
OF perennial streams that never run
dry.
Mr.. Paxton is also actively interest
ed in mines Considerable work is be-
ing done by him on the Enterprise at
Anchor, north of Red river and few
miles east of Questa. This spring, un-
der great difficulties, pump was in
stalled, which takes care of the water
in the 100 foot shaft easily by pump
| ing half an hour in the morning and
half an hour in the evening. The
ore body is large and the ore free
milling so that 1t can be treated on
{ the ground. Extensive copper ore de-
posts and many other promising mines
/ in the Red river and Anchor districts
will become profitable Immediately
upon the completion of the line to
Ques1a and short spur into the min
i ing region. =
Mr. Paxton expects that within two
years so many new settlers will have
come into northern Taos county, that
the time will be ripe for the organiza-
tion OF new county, with the county
seat at the new town which will
spring into life in the center of the
Sunshine valley this summer
Mr.. Paxton is successful worker
and the New Mexican, and the
people of Santa Fe in general.
are therefore, much pleased
to learn, that he intends to
make Santa Fe his headquarters and
home next winter from which he will
direct the enterprises upon which he
is now engaged and number Of new
enterprises in this immediate vicinity
which he is contemplating.

days ago. while a young farmer was
digging his fine potato crop. he dug
from one hill two large Irish pota-
toes which had become petrified into
the image and figures of Adam and

young farmer and husband that be
fastened to the house showing his
young wife his strange find. He
then began to tell her he was going
to send them to Mr.. Lloyd for the
state fair. We will surely get a
prize" he said. expecting to hear
the pretty young wife approve.
Not a word did she say, but threw
the two potatoes into a boiler then
put itonthe stove. Il will feed them
to the hogs" she said. You love
everything that looks like a woman
but me. Then the young man got
mad and said that is the first time
he ever knew a wife to be jealous OF
an Irish potato. But in youth he
learned that he who rul IS his temper
is greater than he who takes a city.
so he went back TO the field to work.
He had not been there long before
he heard the voice OF his wife call
ing to come quickly to the house.
Thinking something terrible had
happened, he come in. to see.
When the water began 10 boil the
two potatoes jumped out of the

NEWS or THE DEATH
OF MRS. MARY NORTON
She Passed Away Yesterday Morning
at Her Home in Iowa.

Mrs. Mary Norton, mother of DR..
]. C. Norton, died yesterday morning
at Wilton Junction, Iowa. That was
the intelligence brought by telegram
to the family in Phoenix yesterday.
and. though II was not entirely unex-
pected. il was something OF n shock.
Friends had known for several days
that she was very i'll and last Sunday
DIR. Norton was summoned to her bed
side, leaving on the next train Sun
day evening The absence Of dis
couraging news since then had led the
friends of the sick woman to hope
that she was improving and would
again be restored to at least her usual
health.
DIR. Norton is now en- route to Wilton
Junction and will, of course. be there
to attend the funeral, returning as
soon thereafter as circumstances will
permit. 1t had been his hope that he
would find his mother much better,
and possibly able to return to Phoe-
nix with them. Mrs. Norton was the
widow OF c. w. Norton, who died here
two years ago at the home of their
son, both having spent several win
ters in Phoenix. During her visits
here she had made many friends. who
will be deeply grieved to learn of her
death. She was a devout Christian
Arizona republican., 1909-09-29

A couple of weeks ago when ii was
desired to make test of the power
line. Engineer Harris. who is in charge
the line simply as an extra precaution.
Warning was given a month or two
ago to all small boys to keep away
from the line as tests were to be made.
They were made, and then for few
days the power was taken off again.
Mr. Harris thought somebody might
know of that fact and again use the
line for a piaything. Also he desired
T. give the line another inspection to
see if vandals had in any way inter-
fered with the construction. When
the inspector was crossing the desert
east of Mesa City he passed the abode
of a Mexican. and near by, sitting on
the top of the topmost insulation OF
a pole. as contented as could be. was
a proud and happy faced Mexican boy.
He was hustled down in a hurry, and
if he or any other boy ever tries to
do that trick again there Will most
likely be funeral soon afterward.
The inspector also found that hunt
ers. or at least vandals, had shot and
broken two insulators along the line.
This will be found a very severe Of
Tense by anyone who is caught in do
ing such a thing. The public will do
well To let the transmission line alone
II is the only way to be safe. The Of
ficials do not want To kill anybody,
and they will have no time to chase
along the line before breakfast every
morning and shoe off the kids. or to
go along later and pick up their IDEAS
bodies.
