GROWTH
Farmers Raising Big Crops
Land Is Selling From 55
to 510 an Acre.
Nara VisU, N. M.t Dec. 13. The
commercial club of thin place Is fol
lowing the plan of advertising for
the business enterprises that are
lacking In this growing young city.
Among the needs of the town at the
present time Is a bakery, electric
light plant, and an Ice factory. John
Kgbert Is the fecretary of the club.
At a meeting of the club held last
Monday iskftit In the rooms of the
New Mexico Land and Trust Com
pany a statehood league was organ
ized. T. O. Miller and son and L. X.
Gregory, contractors and builders of
this place have formed a partner
ship and have remed an office next
to the Nara Vista Lumber Company.
L. K. Egerton, nursery agent, is
arranging with the Panhandle nur
sery to put In a tree park at this
place. This will be a great conven
ience to the home builder of this
community In helping blm to beau
tify his grounds and select trees for
his orchard.
Uncle Sam's free ST'ft of land to
his sovereign citizens hais surely
been a great help to the man who
has been struggling for years to get
ahead. iMany such have made Nara
Vista their home, and not a few
who came here with scarcely enough
to puy for their tilings find them
selves In possession of land that will
sell for from ten to twenty-live, dol
lars an acre.
The Nara Vlsta Cement Block and
Brick plan under the management of
C. A. Hamrick is proving a good bus
iness venture for the owners and a
real boom to the building interests
of the town. The quality of block
produced from the cement works is
good and makea a practically Inde
structible building.
'Mr. J. 13. Hoss, an enterprising
farmer, is showing samples of corn
raided on his claim which he be
lieved will make from thirty to forty
bushels per acre. Mr. Kos and
many others of this community have
proven that successful farming Is a
possibility In their part of the arid
west.

Montreal, Can., Dec. 13. Govern
ment railroads are operated at a loss
in Canada, according to the Mon
treal Gazette. Both the Intercolonial
and the Prince- Edward Island roads
are found to be expensive. The Ga
zette says:
The report for nine months of the
minister of railways and canals tells
the story of the latest effort to give
the Intercolonial railway a business
excuse for existing. The result can
be counted happy only by compari
son with previous records of the un
fortunate property:
In the fiscal year 1903-04 the
working expenses were $7,239,982;
the earnings were $6,339,231; there
was an operating . account of $900,
750. Things seemingly were being
got ready for the general parliament
ary election of 1904.
in 19U4-H5. the year in which the
election actually took place, the
working expenses were $8, 508, 826,
and the revenue amounted to but
$6,783,522. It cost in 12 months II,
725,303 more to operate and main
tain the road than it earned, and this
though it traverses for the greater
part of its length one of the well
populated and good traffic providing
regiotid of Canada.
The situation. It was felt, was
more than the country would stand,
and though ministers vapored in par
liament about the road being a splen
did national asset, the testimony of
its own records that it was a sink
hole for the people's money was too
vtrong, and the force of public opin
ion compelled an effort to secure
better things.
Here is the result for nine months
from July 1, 1906, to March 31, 1907
Gross revenue, 16,243,311; expend
iture. $6,030,171, and net revenue
$218,140.
This is good by comparison only,
and only by comparison with the Inter-colonial
itself In the past.
The road is 1,448 miles in length.
Its capital civ i to March 31 last
l given as s2,744,937. The return
to the treasury is about a quarter
of 1 pi-r cent on the construction
cost.
The construction cost is constant
ly incivaMiig also. The expenditures
on cupital account that is, of out of
the national treasury. Since the
great deficit year of 1904-05 were
$3,765,170 in 1H05-06 and $1.506,2u9
in 1906-07. There in no other coun
try with mi valuable a property
showing such miserable results.
The other government owned and
operated railway is that on Prince
Kdwurd Island. It never has been
treated as a business enterprise, and
in all prohMillity never will be.
The road is 261 miles long, and,
though of narrow gauge, has cost
i 't.iu i.2i;i. or $28.0ou a mile. It
earned during the nine months
$21', 434. while the working expenses
Were $2S3.14S.
There as paid out of the national
treasury to keep the road running
over and above the revenue a sum
of $67.7-. Another um of $91,710,
inclut fti the capital cos;, was ex
pended I provide facilities for car
rying tne traffic that did not pay.
This, also, is in keeping with the
railway's record. It is u-el-s to ob
ject to it. It simply has to be en
dured. There are those who think that
the Intercolonial suould be extended
westward, first to the Georgian Hay,
then to the Pacific Coast. The road
now runs from Montreal, the chief
traffic point in Canada, through a
noncompetitive territory, scoond only
In traffic producing power to the
Grand 'i'unk between Montreal and
6arnla. Before they can expect the
people to agree to such a proposition
the capacity of government ap
pointees, acting for the government,
to manage a bu-lne a enterprise as
such, must be established. I
