WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 5,
LAS VEUAS NEKDM.
When business is slack with the
merchants of Las Vegas how many of
them sit down and Boborly think ou
the cause for the depression? It is
patent fact that for the past two years
this city has been dependent for pros
perity upon local trade only, and
this accounts for the standstill of
journal footings of merchants duriog
that time. It is true that Las Vegan
has to back it, as tributary to its
wealth and business, what is by far
the richest portion of the great soutli
western country included in southern
Colorado, New Mexico, western Texas
and Arizona. The direct trado from
our own county of San Miguel, added
to that of Mora county, is sufficient
to mako Las Vegas an important
commercial point and ene of those
fortunate places designated as "good
towns." The people of Las Vegas
are wide-awake and pushing if any
thing, and the present position does
not please them. They want to see
the City of Meadows, with its wonder
ful advantages and unequalled re
sources, come to the front as a center
of growth and prosperity. The bust
ness men of this place wish their led
gcr footings increased year by year
and pparkling success take the place
of uncertain growth.
The Gazette has sounded the fit
nation and to till its mission as
daily journal, working to build u
the community iu which it is situated
points out the cause and ell'ect. The
Atchison, Topekai Santa Fe railroad
company has always been a friend to
Las Vegas and in more ways than
one has added to the stability an
growth of the city. Itut from a busi
ness man's point of view there
more to be done to aid the develop
ment of the trade and business of
Las Vegas and which the railroad
company can well grant without loss
to itself.
The great and growing trade
Lincoln county always t-ume natu
ully to Las Vegas. Three years ago
the wagons of the freighters lolled
through the streets loaded down witl
merchandise for Lincoln county
Three years ago there was not a Li
Vegas merchant but had a customer
in the county of Lincoln. Tod.'i
they are few and far between, aud
wagon train for the lower Tecos wi
soon become a curiosity. See how
Lincoln county has grown. From
tax return of about $400,000 in 1S82
has increased its wealth until today
the assessor's books show over $3,000,
000 of taxable property. The fau
then lies not with Lincoln county but
with Las Vegas.
This great trafilo has gone to other
points, but it is not altogether lout
Many Lincoln county people look
upon Las Vegas as "their town" and
in the face of the heavy discriminat
ing freight tariff of the railroad com
pany, still come to this point to buy
their goods. El Taso has captured
valuable part of the trade of the
southern part of Lincoln county by
reason ef the cut rate which it has
long enjoyed, and which rate enabl
the merchants of that placo to sell
with profit for less than similar mer
chandise costs Las Vegas merchants,
laid down.
Las Vegas, of course, enjoying no
competing lines of railroad, cannot
expect a rate like El Faso has, but
even with a fair reduction our mcr
, chants by reason of their acquain
ance and superior facilities would be
able to "hold their own" against the
world.
The question of course will arise
Will it pay the Atchison, Topcka
Santa Fe road to mako a liberal re
duction in the freight rale to New
Mexico's cities? The Gazette says
it would. In the first place the Santa
Fe road gets but a small proportion
of the business into El Paso. The
hauling is divided and the Tex a
roads get the lion's share. With the
trade branching from New Mexico
cities the Atchison road would have
all of the business, and a low freight
rate would do moro than anything
else to prevent the building of a com
peting line. Any business man can
follow the subject into detail. The
are facts are enly given here.
The question of revising the local
freight tariff on articles of home pro
duction merits tbe attention of the
railroad company. Thinks to L. P.
Urowne, Chas. Blanchard and others
of Las Vegas progressive citizens, a
reduced rate was obtained last year
many of Nev Mexico's
products, but the matter now
needs another revision. How
it that the Texas Pacific rail
road can haul lumber 920 miles into
EI Faso and sell it there with profit
at $22.CO per 1,000 while Las Vegas,
one of the finest lumber supply points
n the west, is compelled to stand
back with idle mills because the
freight rate makes Las Vegas lumber
'cost" just $23.50 at the same point.
These questions are of importance
to those who wish to see Las Vegas
hold her haid earned supremacy as
tbe leading city of the southwest and
thinking men must seek to evolve a
remedy.
