meeting of the Business Association
expressed themselves as surprised at
the resources of the country along
the proposed route. This section
had always been pictured to them
as rich and fertile one but it
proved beyond their expectations.
They were well pleased and felt
confident that in the very near fu-
ture some definite plan would be
worked out TO put in an electric
| line through that section. At any

so good that if the interests they
represent do not take hold of the
/ proposition some other will. These
gentlemen have gone east to con-
suit with those they represent be-
/ fore taking further action and in
/ the meantime the citizens of this
section will see what can be done
/ to secure right of way from
/ Cloudcroft to the Pecos Valley eth

not lost sight of the fact that he
has been so enthusiastic about il.
