Railroad in Socorro County, New Mex
leo. G. Panchaud, representative of
Archbishop Vilatte Head of the Ortho-
dox Catholic Church of the West,
known as the Greek Church, closed a
deal with the Ascot Valley Land &
improvement Company, of Ell Paso,
Texas. on the 22d day of August for
ten thousand acres of fine farming
land at Uncle Sam City. near La Joya,

While the contract called for ten
thousand acres, it is the intention of
the Archbishop to secure more land.
His plan is to colonize the land with
the members of the Greek Church who
come to the United States, seeking
their fortunes, but who are now being
herded in the big cities, and forced to
do mental work in order to make a
living. 1t is the intention of the Arch
bishop and his followers to make the
colony one of the strongest in the
country While it will be colonized
by the church, it will be open to all
classes of settlers, the Archbishop
says, and will be in no sense religious
settlement. A town will be built
Oncle Sam City, near La Joya, where
the Archbishop will make his head
quarters.
Colonists will be brought to the
country from all parts of Europe and
will be Settled upon tracts.

of the entire Greek Church in Amer
lea, is man of striking personality
His headquarters are IN Chicago. but
he is travelling the greater part of the
time and is at present in Europe in the
interest of the Church. I'VE want to
