Oh,
Republicans of New Mexico
.will -hold their territorinl con-
vention at Silver City, March
21, to select delegates to the
national convention at Chic-
ago.
Senator Smoot of Utah con-
fronts a hot fight for his seat
this year. The legislature to
be elected in November will
choose his successor. The
American party aud the dem-
ocrats propose to raise the is-
sue of church and state,
claiming that Smoot and the
republicans really represent
the Mormon church, and that
Mormon ism will never get its
deserts until state rnd church
are separated by an over-
whelming vote of the people.
Fort Worth defeated Gal-
veston and Mineral Wells in
a contest for the republican
state convention of Texas
to name delegates to the na-
tional convention in Chicago.
The state convention will be
held in May.
As two little tjirls were

public prints, looks good to
us, even on paper, and we
hope the plans of the com
pany will carry, and the road
be a reality in fact.
The proposed line, as map-
ped out by" its promoters, is to
run from Jacksonville to Aito,
touching the to.vns of Craft,
Dialvillc, Rusk and Atoy,
an estimated distance of some
33 miles.
The promoters ask no bonus
—merely desire the right-of-
way and good will of the peo-
ple.
A large meeting was held
in Jacksonville last Saturday
afternoon, and much interest
. I
manifested, free right of way 1
beiuy granted the company!
by every person present 1
through whose property the j
road is expected to run.
Capitalists from Boston are'
reported to be behind the
scheme who have secured am-
ple funds to push the road to
a rapid completion.
As to what the road will do
for the country, we make the
following extract from the'
Rusk Journal:
"It is proposed to operate
by electric or gasoline motor
cars giving a two hourly pas-
senger mail and express ser-
vice through the country, col-
lecting eggs and other small
produce from the farmers and
delivering to the dealers in
the several towns, and in re- j
turn receive from the dealers
groceries, farm implements,
aud oMier conimodies, and de-
thc suggestion has been made
than an ice service be started
from Jacksonville on a certain
schedule each day. The main
object, of the road, however, is
a freight proposition. It is
expected to have five-wheel
freight cars with a capacity of
from live to ten tons, that can
be put in on sidings at the
several truck farms, to be
loaded by the growers, and
run alongside iue steam rail-
way tracks at the several sta-
tions,'and loaded directly into
them, also to deliver direct to
the farmer fertilizer, crates,
implements, etc., and where
shipments will warrant to de-
liver to and take away the re-
frigerator or lumber cars of
the railway, so that the ship-
ment will be from the grower
tj the jobber direct, li will
enable the grower tc increase
his acreage, harvest and mar-
ket his produce quickly ai d
at a minimum expense, and
peaches and tomatoes will
reach the merchant in better
condition than the present
method of several handlings
and jolting over the rough
roa s.
It is easier to go down hill
than up, but there is not so
much profit i:i it—and the
stopping place is not so plcas-
laat. The bottom of the hill
is never pleasant. 5
