Railroad excitement

| The Herald doesn't believe in
sounding any false alarms or CIV
ing out any false hopes, ether Of
railroads, gold mines, oil fields,
or what not along the lines of
something that is not in s;:,llt.
The Sentinel last week had a
doubl column scare head and a
two column write up on a pro.
jected SPUR line from Holly, Hart
man, Granada or some near point
the Santa Fe, to Two Buttes-
tins on Information of the popu-
lati"n and resources of the segre-
CATION and Baca given by F. D.
Harris, the segregation manager,
to Santa Fe officials in Chicago
last week.
The Herald would be greatly
pleased 10 know that the Santa
Fe, on learning where Baca coun-
ty is and how to get to it, would
build spur line out as far as
Two Buttes: but until futher and
better advised we wouldn't like
to excite our people with any ed
ink head lines or scare write-ups.
We believe in the segregation
but we have an idea that farming
will have to become somewhat
more intensive there than it has
been before railroad companies
will begin to sit up and take nc
tice.
Elsewhere in the Herald will be
found clipping from the Rich
field Monitor giving an interview
with Mr.. Hicllok of Santanta, in
which he believes the Santa Fe
will build along the north line of
Morton county and on this way
inside of a year.
Then there is the road coming
from Fowler, and the one from
Fargon, and other lines projected
on paper
We want all these roads, but
we don't want q rush into The
county ON anv false hopes OF get
ting an of them
Our private opinion publicly
expressed is that the lines of
railroads having an eye on !jaca
county will wa ch, and await the
outcome of, its present settle
mcnt, and that when the settle
ment shows permanancy some
one of tie lines, and may be
two or three, will build through.
