Clovis and POrtales.

The NEWS is pleased to note
that the ties of friendship be-
tween the people Of Clovis and
those Of Portales are becoming
more closely cemented as time
progresses,
This is as it should be and is
in keeping with that much be-
loved passage Of scripture,
Love thy neighbor as thyself.
During the early stages of
development in Clovis. a sort of
petty jealousy or rivalry exist
ed between the two towns. but
this feeling has completely died
out and all animosities have been
overcome.
Portales is the center of one
Of the richest garden spots in
the Southwest.
1t has something which Clo-
Wis has not, but we are not en-
vious and rejoice with them in
their good fortune water, sub
irrigated land, themost product
i've soil that the sun ever shown
upon. The Portales Valley is
just reaching the first stages of
development by pump irrigation
and coming to claim the great
resources with which it is nat
urally endowed. 1t is a verit-
able garden spot-an oasis as it
were. just beginning to blossom
like June rose in a land Of
honey, alfalfa, Jersey cows
and fat hogs.
No country in the vide WOrlC
has greater prospects for per-
manent and substantial devel.
opment than has the Portales
Valley and as the valley develops
which it is certain to do. like
wise will the little namesake
city. which is the county seat Of
Roosevelt county, and in the
heart of this vast irrigated dis
trict, keep pace with the pros
gress of the valley. It's future
rapid growth and permanency
is assured.
Portales needs the good mar
kets at Clovis and Clovis need
/ the Portales valley products
E Let's be staunch friends.

Santa Fe Cutoff
Will Shorten Distance to Pa

says W men lne zoo mile cut-OH i
Inns which the A. 7. & S. F. is
constructing across the Panhan-
die D Texas is finished which |
will he some time this fall. that |
system will have a shorter road !
between Galveston and San
Francisco by ninety-one miles
than the Southern Pacific. It
will mean the establishment of a
new ttanscontinental line con-
Meeting the Atlantic with the Pa
cifc. The distance between
these two points via the new
route Of the Santa Fe will be
2.09O miles. The completion Of
the cutoff will save the Santa
Fe 496 miles as compared with
its present route via Winfield,
Kansas to San Francisco from
Galveston. The distance via the
cutoff route will be 555 miles
shorter than via the Newton
Kansas route.
The important benefit and ad-
vantage however, that will come
from the opening of this new
connecting link between the Gulf
system and the present trans
continental line of the Santa Fe
is that it will save not only many
miles of haul Of the traffic which
IS destined for export. but will
also be a

all the way from the higher alti-

The first step toward the con-
struction Of this cutoff line was
taken a few years ago by the
construction Of a road from Be
len, N. NJ. to

the later place situated near
the Texas-New Mexico boundary
line. This line is 24O miles long.
Win Its completion much of the
heavy traffic was diverted from
the old transcontinental division
to the new route via Amarillo
and Winfield, thus avoiding the
Ration mountain grade.
Besides constructing the cut
off line, the Santa Fe has been
very active during the last few
years in building feeders in
Western Texas. Through this
means it is rapidly developing
very considerable local traffic
and is bringing about the con
