No. 21
WHITE OAKS, LINCOLN CO., NEW MEXICO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1891.
WHOLE No. 481.
China declares that she is in the
war for a generation if necessary.
It is very important to the in
terests of New Mexico that Anton
io Joseph be returned to Congress
this fall. And it is equally impor
tant to this county that a full com
plement of Democratic officers be
elected within it. Every Demo
crat should be alive to his duty;
go to the polls and vote and see
that his neighbor does likewise.
George Cuury and James F.
Ilinkle, Lincoln county's candi
d ttos for the Council and Assem
bly respectively, are both young
men with their ways to make polit
ically. They are full of the right
kind of ambition and will give the
people their best service. Both
are experienced in public life and
will give the people service they
will profit by and will be proud of.
KAII.UOAD HUMOKS.
The U. S. census gives Lincoln
county's population in 18Ü0 as
7,081 and as 2,513 in 1880; an in
crease of nearly three fold in ten
years. This was much the largest
gain shown by any county in the
Territory. Socorro and Taos are
the only counties showing losses
fur the period. The population
for the whole Territory increased
in the same time from 119,505 to
153,503.
The campaign is now on. All
the entries for the various politi
cal races have been made. Now let
there bo no jockeying on the track,
but see that the race is for blood,
mid the uncurried broncho of the
disgruntled and the spavined road
ster of the old regime will be left
bucking and wheezing far behind
when the racers of Demoracy, the
party of the present and the fut
ure of New Mexico pass under the
wire.
Last year a company of Kansas
Populista secured a charter for a
north and south line of railway to
unite the wintry plains of Manito
ba with the sun-gladdened shores
of the Mexican gulf. The- pur
pose of the road was to relieve the
dear, down-trodden and oppressed
people from the bondage of the
transDoHation couipunies. Ever
since the road was chartered the
promoters have been hunting
around among the plutocrats and
gold bugs for somebody to buy the
bonds of the concern allee samee
any other railway projectors. The
loiiL'hcaded "farmers" who were
going to build this road to everlast
ingly do up the old corporations
were not going to build it wi
their own money not they. The
U'lograph now announces Unit
three million dollars of the bonds
have been Bold to a grasping nm
HoullfHH syndicate of Knglish cap
italists, who nro negotiatin' for
throe millions more. In consider
ation of tin-so investments the
charter in to be amended ho as to
give the investors a better showing
for their lucre. The gixxl people
the irulhble sons of toil who were
to have been the beneficiaries o
the scheme -in their minds have
been cut out in the deal, and the
projectors exjM'ct to upholster tlit i
nests from the proceeds of the
Rame just ns the most unregener
ate financiéis would do. If tl
Mad is ever built it will be built
mid operated on the eatablinhed
principles of business coiiiino:i
Mise in which l'opulist theories
have no pa it.
The White Oaks and El Paso railway
scheme has just been revived, nnd this
time with a fair prospect of success. The
Ouuld interest eeeuis to be at the bot
tom of the movement, aud as it is a mat
ter of much importance to their interost
to have connection with the great coal
fields in the vicinity of White O iks, it is
not improbable that the present move
ment will result in giving the people or
that section communication with the
outside world. We would prefer to see
the first railroad from White Oaka orne
to Albuquerque, but nevertheless we
congratulate our neighbors of that sec
tion upon the prospect of an outlet by
rail in any direction. Its vast miueral
resouroos only require the advantage
that is to come from a railroad to make
that region one of the richest and most
populous diHtriots iu New Mexico. And
when its vast minoral wealth shall be
fully known to capitalists it will then
have no lack of railway facilities.
EdLivolle of this city, who is in
charge of a gang of track layers on the
'ecos Valley road, writes from Eddy:
The railroad will reach Roswell the 1st
of Ootob3r. We are layin? two miles of
track por day. The road will be extend
ed to White Oaks in sixty days. We
are now ouly eighteen miles from Itos-
well. The valley is settling n p with far
mers rapidly. Mossrs. Hagennan and
Ham pson ore expected here about the
20th."
The two paragraphs above are taken
from the Albuquerque Citizen of recent
date. Tho Eaolk does not undertake
to say how nearly correct they are, or if
there is anything in them. Every expe
rienced newegutherer kuows how little
railroad people are ordinarily disposed
to hunt ducks with a brass band, or to
keep the world informed in advance of
what their intended movements are.
The matter that has been going the
rounds of tho papers for several weeks
past, the granting of a charter to tho
Gould people for an El Paso and White
Oaks line by tho state of Texas is but
a recent accomplishment of what was
begun a year ago. At that time a char-
tor was npplied for, but some technical
objection was made by the Secrotary of
State, who refused to grant it.
Sinoe the charter was granted inform
at ion from inside sources and which
should be of value has rouchod here pri
vately, and while not protending to be
explicit is to the effect that the charter
whs taken out in good faith nud that the
company intends to build the ron.l, but
does not convey the idea thut thero is to
be any danger to persons walking on the
tracks at White O iks at once. It is un
derstood that it will be necessary to so
cure a now chartor in Now Mexico also.
El Paso and the Gould interests would
assuredly both find the proposed line
profitable ouo, for it would travorso
part of the Territory pcfsoHsing vast
possibilties for agriculture and hortieul
turo, and which is steadily developing
in spite of tho great disadvantages it id
compelled to contend within the proa
ent lack of transportation facilities, even
giod wagon roa .1. This lower country
would uaturally bo tributary to El P.iso
ami would furnish her merchants
now field, valuable to bogm with, and
that would rapidly increase in import
mice when opened to rapid and easy com
muulcation. Tho livestock iuterest
also one that would furnish a larga vol
ume of business to the roa 1 and woul
in turn bo benelitteil iy t lie improvei

Tho territory alxmt While Oaks wou
of course be tho important consideration
Irom the standpoint of local biminess
Itoth froight tonnage and passenger
traille in and out would be large, and
tho former at least would increase rap
idly Hiid steadily for years to como.
El Paso can well nlTord to do much to
promote the construction of this lino, mid
the samo auggoHtioti applied to While
Oak.
but it does not necessarily follow that it
must come to White Oaks on its way
out. Aud yet it does seem plain that it
would bo to its bast interests to do si.
and it is difficult to see how our coal
fields oould be ignored. We have much
faith that the road will when extended
make this town a main line point. But
t is faith 60 far.
Another element in the matter is the
Bock Island, seeking an El Taso connec
tion through which to reach the lower
Pacific and Mexican countries. Its
shortest practicable route would bring
it by way of White Oaks.
The Eagle does not desire to raise
hopes or expectations regarding any in
terests of the town that are not founded
on something substantial. And it be
lieves the prediction that the toot of the
locomotive will startle these solitudes
within a year is reasonable.

Editor of the Eagle:
I thought I would give you a few
items from our blooming little village.
It is surrounded by well to do farmers
aud cattle and sheep ranches. It has
three stores and a drug store run by Dr.
W. A. Graham.
It is also surrounded by lots of good
old Democrats, though we have a few
Populists; but even they are in favor of
F. Ilinkle. I saw a letter from Rob-
well the other day speaking rough of our
good man Ilinkle. I wonder if he knows
J. F. Hinkle. He certainly does not or
he would not speak so of him uuless ho
just wants to down him on unreasonable
reports and build upon the downfall of
an honest man. If Buch is the fact, I
would just say. My good friend, learn
the Golden Rule.
I started out the other day to see how
our man Ilinkle stood. Tho first man 1
met was a good old furmor. I stopped
him and said, I am out today to Bee bow
many men there are iu these mountains
for Ilinkle. B ut you are a Populist, are
you' not? He said, Yes, I am: but I nm
going to vote for Hiukle, aud I'll tell
you why. I have been in these mount
ains seven years and no improvement.
When Mr. Hiukle made ths best move
to improve the country, to encourage
the capitalist to tako hold, the people
must whine around and sny ho made
taxes so much higher on us. And these
snme ones do not pny taxes enough to
buy a pillow for a ghost. Aud what
would poor people havo done had it not
been for that same railroai to Eddy?
It is a ehame, ho said, and then he
picked up his shovol and wout off whist
ling,
Yankee Poodle is a fool
And everybody knows it,
Ilinkle is a good man, boys,
I'll voto for him, here goes it.
I went on a little further and mot an
other man with a gun on his shoulder.
I said, Hello, fneud, what is your poli
tics? He said, Mugwump. I said, Well,
how are you going to vote? Diamond
bur, How is that, I snid. Well, said he,
Democrat, Republican, Populist and bar
out the niuu that is against .T.l'MIinkln.
1 went on to Upper Peñasco and there
I met three women in a clono chat as
rodo up. I said what uowr Wo wero
just talking of Mr. J. F. Hiukle, they re
plied, aud ugreed that if our uvjn did
not work aud vote for him we would
leavo theiii, I said, Why?. Thoysaid:
Wo have been living hero a long time
and raising children with no schools,
and when Mr. Hinklo mudo a move that
tho country might bo Improved by les
sening tho taxes of those who build rail
roads and inch, Oh hear tliem grnmblo
and complain. Ho much for the women,
I found on my trip that almost every
one was fur Ilinkle, and wo did not need
a pick or n sliovol to get a vote here.
But the Kepulilioans aud Popiilibls are
shoving themselves thinking that be
tween the two they can down the Dumoo
raey. I heard a Republican eay tho
We have a full line of Boots and Shoes and have marked them down. Come and
examine them.

Sign the pledge: it make a itrong ob
ligation. When a man gives tip drink,
he muut do nil that can bo done to
Btrenghten his reaolution. If ho Bimp'y
makes a resolution, he foela at liberty to
withdraw from it it ho chooses. But if
he doublo knots his resolution with n
aolctnn promise to which ho hue put hie
hand, then he feels bouud by the most
solemn obligations. Ho cannot think of
breaking his word. Ho dare not violate
his plighted troth. And in the moment
of temptation, hie self renpect, Lia love
for truth, Lia desire to be a man of his
word, hia written vow, will be strong
reasons for Buying NO.
Sign the pledge: it will give a unfile
ient aimwer to llwxe who tempt you to
drink. There Is do uiiBwor that a nmn
can give an good as this. If ho refuxea
becauae he la hot, ho will be advised to
drink to get cool. If iia ref UHca because
he la cold, be will be recommended to
drink to got wnrin. If he refuses be
cause he cannot uffurd it Lia companion
will gladly treat him. If hi refuses be
cause he ie not well, there is no ailment
to which llet-h is heir for which intoxi
cating di iiilt'i nro Dot pit-scribed ns a cor

they are ill; and then drink to get them
selves well iigsiN. None of these excuses
avail, but if a man auys, 'I have aigned
the pledge," thry tuny Ihluk him a fool,
but they cannot say that he lias not giv
cu a sulUcicut teuaou; aud II lliey uro
true men themselves, they dure not ark
him to break hia word. If a man aska
you to drink after you have signed the
pledge, ho ia no true friend; he ia doing
the devil's work. He ia certain to turn
around und insult you after you have
done his will, because he will have lost
tho lust fragment of respect for yon.
