correct when he says, "put aside

may jointly concern Mexico and
this part Of the county, and help
build the electric railway-extend
it to Santa Fee on the north and to
Hereford on the south--if you
would see this city take a great
plunge forward in growth and
progress. The railroad would
bring MS the trade and bring us
the coal for fuel for factories. and
all would help increase the town s
