BATÜEDAY EVENING. MAY 8.
LAS VEDAS' NEEDS, No. 8.
On the 24th of this month the citi
zens of Lincoln county will vote on
the proposition of giving $100,000 in
county bonds to aid the projected
railrosd from El Psso, Texas, to White
Oaks, N. M. There is good reason to
believe that the election will carry in
favor of the railroad and that the lat
ter will be built, thqs giving to the
rich and growing county of Lincoln
a railroad outlet to the south.
To the thinking people of Las Ve
gas and particularly those who re
alize the importance of Lincoln coun
ty as a factor in the trade, growth and
prosperity of this city, this building
of the El Paso and White Oaks road
is a serious thing. Should the road
be built to White Oaks (and it cer
ta'nly looks as though it will), Las
Vegas will necessarily lose another
large slice of its most valuable and
profitable commerce. ,
With a railroad terminating at
White Oaks, bustling and growing
towns will spring up along the line
and businesswill pour into these new
points, not only from the immediate
surrounding country, but from the
east, west, and even from the north
. Not alone would the southern and
middle Lincoln county business be
lost to the city forever, but the com
petition of trade would cause a .change
in business even as far north as Fort
Sumner in San Miguel county. In
fact the topography of the country is
such that, even with all ether matters
being equal, the new outlet and trad
ing points would receive the prefer
ence.
Everything is not equal. EI Paso,
by reason of the rival railroads cen
tering there, enjoys and will always
have a freight rate from eastern points
which is proportionately the lowest
of any railroad point in the United
States. ' The projected White Oaks
feeder will be in the nature of a com-
petingline with the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Tailroad, as it will enter
directly upon the territory of that
corporation, and the consequence will
be that in order to build up towns
and trade along its own line the White
Oaks road will haul for mere nominal
rates.
An old axiom is that some good can
always be found in the greatest evil,
and while it may at first appear that
the building of this White Oaks road
will seriously injure the commercial
interests of Las Vegas, The Oazettr
believes that the competition of that
road will do more to build up and de
velop this city than any other possible
event.
In the first place it must be consld.
ered that without some extraordinary
event things are veiy apt to go on in
Las Vegas for the next ten years as
they have in the past five. The Atchl
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad seems
perfectly satisfied to let well enough
alone and have things move as they
have been heretofore. It would be
unreasonable to expect the tailroad
company to do more for Las Vegas
than it has already done, as its policy
toward this place has always been ex
tremely liberal. '
But when the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe sees another and u rival road
coming into what basso long been
considered its exclusive field (the ter
ritory of New Mexico) will it not
arouse itself and exert ils influence to
build up and make important the fit
ies upon its own line instead of per
mitting the wealth aud business of
these cities to be absorbed by those
of opposition corporations. There
lies the hope of Las Vegas for an
awakening from the lethargy of the
past five years. The building of the
White Oaks road will do more to ad
vance the interests of this city than
any other possibility -now in sight.
It is time that we have a splendid
city. There are many good build,
ings, more in course of erection,
and a number contemplated. Real
estate commands good , prices, and
people of a good class are locat
ing hers every day. We must not
stand still, however, but keep a
bright lookout for what will add to
the growth of the place.
Newspapers ran but point out and
call attention to the important mat
ters. The people must do the rest.
and where is the oitizen of Las Vegas
who is not directly interested in any
thing or measure that will add to the
growth and business prosperity of the
city. - - . .
What the Brewers est.
Chicago Tribune ' -
The brewers have complied with the
terms and conditions of their thirsty
communistic hauds. In addition to
shorter hours and more pay, eaoh hand
is to have the privilege of quitting bis
work Bye times a day, going to the tap
room, and guzzling three schooners of
beer a fleet of fifteen during working:
hours. There are 1,200 of these naviga
tors in Chicago sailing schooners over
the bar. They are now nndereontract
to consume 18,000 glasses of bner per
day, 1U8.000 per week, or 6,818,000 (oyer
Uve and a half millions) a year! Each
man undertakes to drÍDk up 393 gallons
of beer or ten barrels a year, and the
whole force expect to place themselves
outside of 12.000 barrels. The purpose
of the brewers wou'd seem to be to
keep the fellows too full for the utter
anoe of any more annihllisUc threats of
confiscation and destruction for a year
to oonie. .
