SANTA r. TO MAKE
BIG IMPROVEMENTS
In PECOS VALLEY
IMPROVED CONDITIONS AND
GROWTH OF BUSINESS PROS
PERlTY JUeTlFY SETTER
MENTs
(Ry a.. M. Hove.)

Roswell. N. M, March 2S,-The
Santa Re railway Is getting ready to
make extensive improvements on it,
line through the Pecos valley this
year. This comes largely in response
to the improved conditions in the val
ley and the new spirit of progress
that is beginning to appear. F, g,
Fox, the general manager and J. Brin,
ker, the general freight and passenger
agent at Amarillo are keeping in close
touch with the conditions and have
noted the advance.
The increase of livestock on the
valleys farms the past few months
for one thing indicates that the val
ley is now on the right course for per
manent growth. The drainage sys-
TENS, now being built, are important
improvements In the direction Of cor
rect agricultural advancement. ROs'
we'll has cast off all gloom and taking
on the appearance of a metropolis
with paved streets and plenty Of
lights.
When the Santa Fe railway took
over the Pecos valley lines in 1901,
they were a liability and remained SO
for many years. The valley was new
country with splendid natural adyant-
ages of climate, soil and water sup
ply. But 1t was off the highways of
travel westward and the only people
that ever came to the valley, had to
be personally conducted.
Then the Santa Fe railway built its
southern transcontinentaI line through
Clovis to Belen, New Mexico. This
moved the Pecos Valley out of the far
away wilderness near to a great high
way across the continent. Since then
things have moved forward much bet
ter.
New Bridge oyer Pecos
"a new bridge has recently been
completed across the Pecos river
above Roswell. About ten miles Of
heavy steel has already been laid and
il It is a good year there will be
e~ighty-five to ninety miles laid, begin
ming at Clovis. It is hoped that heavy
steel may be by the end of the year
past Roswell. The cost OF this i'm
prOvement for the year will be at
least $4,000. The cuts and embank-
ments will be wideneds to the regula-
ton standard width at an estimated
cost Of about $3.50
The terminals at Carlsbad will also
be improved and something like $42,-
607 spent in building a five stall
round house, cinder pit, and a hun
dred ton coal chute. There are now
four trains out Of Carlsbad and no
provision for housing the engines.
On the whole there will be around
sl35,OO0 In Improvement Of the valley
system this year in addition to the
regular maintenance which in itself
Is an important item IN the expenses
Of a railroad, the average cost per
mile mile for maitenanee OF way and
structures last year being ~sl,4S5.S5.

Las Vegas, N. NJ, March 28.-Unani-
nous sentiment Of the Republicans
and Democrats of the city, expressed
at ward primaries, IS for a fusion of
the two parties for the selection of a
ticket for the municipal election. The
primaries endorsed the action taken
by the central committees Of the two
parties, when fusion was recon-
mended upon the following basis: The
Republicans to nominate the city
clerk, city treasurer and aldermen
from Third and Fourth wards, and the
Democrats also to nominate the city
clerk, city treasurer and the aldermen
from the First and Second wards.
Practically all of the delegations
will go TO the conventions uninstruct-
ed as regards nominees for mayor,
clerk and treasurer. The procedure
will be to have the Democrats meet
IN convention and select the candi-
dates apportioned to them while the
Republicans, at the same hour, will
convene and select their candidate for
the m~myofalty. Then the two organi-
ations will unite, organize and nomi-
nate the ticket IN its complete form.
The convention will be held Wednes-
day night.
The Democrats and Republicans
evidently were well pleased with their
representatives in the council, as they
reconstructed them for election TO sue

mated b, r. MCGUIRE and Thomas
