If sis' OUK (xLP Ay Ay Ay Vol. I. East Las Vegas, New Mexico, Wednesday Evening, August 31. 1892. No. 230. ELPAS9 AND TSSKEW SEOai LINE. The City Should Drop the Could Scheme and Join Hands Loy ally with Other Cities and Towns on the Route to Push Through the Denver & El Paso Independent R. R. . Wo quote from the El Paso Trib- S une of August 25: "As El Paso is about as much in the dark concerning the White Oaks road and Mr. Gould's intentions as she has ever been (nothing having been promised by Mr. Gould) the Tribune thinks it would be wise for our citizen to go in with the Las Ve gas and Denver people and see that the El Paso & Denver road is built as soon as possible. We need that road badly, as everybody knows. If the Denver & El Paso road is built probably Gould will be forced into building the El Paso Northern. Any way, the present enterprise is something tangible, while the Gould matter is yet in tho dim distance of obscurity. One represents immedi ate action, while tho other is for fu I ture consideration." Now, El Paso, you're talkin'. The abovo extract from the Tribune's ar ticle hits the nail squarely on the head and is the very essence of wis dom and business foresight on the part of the city of El Paso. We are forcibly reminded of tho somewhat ancient tale of the man who was asked to trade his old dog for a young pup, and who, after ma ture reflection, concluded not to make tho trade because, as he said, he knew what tho old dog was, while he didn't know how the pup would turn out. We all have ample assurance that the Denver fc El Paso Inde pendent road will bo built in the near future, if we cities and towns along tho proposed route join hands and assist the enterprise to the very reasonable extent asked of ns. We know the men at the head of the enterprise. Their business reputa tion, their personal character, their financial connections and their loyalty to this country are all proven by long residence and daily walk among us. El Paso can easily satisfy herself as to these facts, if indeed she does not know them already. On the other hand, what does El Paso know of Mr. Gould and his plans? The policy of Mr. Jay Gould and his methods have been so long subjects of public comment that we need not dilato upon the subject There are verys strong reasons for believing that Mr. Gould has no present inten tion of bui! ling the White Oaks road. He made no promises when he bought it. It belongs to him ) outright, and El Paso has no string to the road. Even if Mr. Gould should, in the future, decide to build the road, it seems to us that such a consummation is much more vague, intangible and uncertain than tho Short Line enterprise, which at this very time is being pushed with all the energy and influence at the com mand of tho promoters. More over, we cannot help think ing that a through line from El Pajo to Denver will be of vastly more consoquenco to El Paso than a local railroad to White Oaks. Many other important and weighty considerations are suggested to us on this subject, but we believo tho i arguments in favor of uniting in a ) combined, harmonious and enthusi astic effort to assist the Short Line project are so apparent and convinc ing that further reasoning on that score is almost superfluous. El Paso and Las Vegas are each particularly interested in the build ing of the Short Line. The two cities are too far apart for any rival ry of interests, yet each will be ben fitted by the other's growth and progress, and we trust and believe El Paso will fully appreciate tho im portance to her of this enterprise as we of Las Vegas appreciate i . im portance to us, and that she will, with unanimous voice, influence and effort, join hands with us and with other points on tho line, in the move ment which is now under way to carry through the Denver-El Paso enterprise to a successful issue. Impae ssions cp California. Having had a pressing invitation to visit the above state in the interest of intending settlers, this, coupled with a desire specially to see for my self a state so often lauded to the skies, both for its glorious climate and prolific yield of fruit of all kinds, I availed myselt of the first opportu nity of doing so, with the following results: First, as to the climate: You can get any you may desire in 10 hours, from the torrid, 120 degrees, to the frigid, where overcoats and ulsters are in demand in the month of Aug ust and a fire in the grate would be very comfortable. Now, as to fruit: There is abun dance and more to follow, this indus try being yet in its infancy. My visit being confined to a few days only, I cannot speak fully of the capabilities of the state as a whole, but the San Joaquin valley, embracing Tulare, Fresno aud Kern counties, has possibilities greater than tho most sanguine settlers can appreciate, soino of which I havo closely investigated, notably tho Paige and Morton orchard at Tulare, Tulare county. Up to the middle of August their books show more than 3,000,000 pounds of green and dried fruit from less than 1,000 acres, most of the trees being about 0 years old, consisting of peaches, pears, nectar ines, etc. Ilanford, in Tulare county, is coming well to tho front, as also is Visalia and Fresno, and Bakcrville is also well in the race, each city trying to outdo the other in their products in quantity and quality, the natural result of which is not far to reach. Much dissatisfaction has been caused by inexperienced parties coming and settling on lauds utterly uusuited to the purpose to which they were applied, added to which entire ignorance of the fruit business as it obtains in the stite, to say nothing of unscrupulous land agents (whose greed . blinds them to all sense of right,) palming off as they have done, and aro now doing, lauds utterly worthless nud incapable of yielding $1 to the acre. Good land there is, and plenty of it, but it re quires a man well versed in this state and abovo reproach (they are here) and will guide intending pur chasers and see that they get what they are paying for. Some of this rascality has been fully exposed by the press of the country, whoso treat ment of theso fellows is quite re freshing, handling them as they do without gloves. I need not dilate on the hospitality of the people here, which is prover bial, but would say come and see. Yours truly, J. C. MOEA KEWBLICAIT CONVENTION.

About 150 couples whirled in tho J bewildering mazes of tho waltz, polka and schottischo, led on bv tho ! enlivening etrains of Prof. Miller's j orchestra, and directed by tho dis-j tinguished caller, Louie Marcus. Tho supper was excellent, and was sup plied by Studebakcr & Munich, who will be happy and willing to supply many more." This dance is all o. k.," said a gentleman to us, "with one exception tho music is so lively and the caller is so diligent that when a bundle of jewels swing into the arms of a gentleman and makes him long to keep it there, suddenly he finds he is encountering another." Tho boys look noble in their uni forms. Red slippers aro very fashionable; so arb white. Dancing is a serious matter, we know, but don't go to a ball with a Sunday school face. Don't wear a long trained dress; it gives your pai tner so much trouble, you know. Tho lads and lasses were strictly in it last night, and may their happiness continue. Lincoln-Lucky Company. HOLLENWAGER G. W. Middleton, of Denver, one of the owners of tho Lincoln-Lucky Mining company, was in the city from San Pedro yesterday. Mr. Middleton is now temporarily in charge of the management of this corporation. R. Y. Anderson, the former manager, has retired from the company, his interests having been bought out by Messrs. S. A. Joseph!, Henry Lee, Al. Townsend and other well known Denver capi talists whoso past success in working this property has given them un bounded faith in its merits as a mon ey producer. Tho mines will be operated soon under tho management of Robert Clark, late of Aspen. Mr. Clark is now sick at Denver and Mr. Middleton will havo control until his recovery. Other changes of local in terest consist in the election of E. T. Webber as a member of the direc tory in place of Anderson, and the appointment of John II. Knaebel as associate council for tho company. Santa Fe New Mexican. lien Harrison asked ono question which the freo traders havo never been able to answer.
