TO ADVERTISERS.
In order to Insure proper changes in adver-
tising copy for same should be at the busi
ness office not later than 10 a. in
Preparations for the corner etone
celebration are now well under way.
The committees have organized and
have mapped out their plana for work.
There is every indication that those
having in hand the arrangement of de-
tails will not let the matter rest but
will go to work with full intent to
make the celebration in every way a
success. Now the thing to be insisted
upon is that every citizen must help
the various committees in every pos
sible way. It will not be fair to let a
few do all the work and make ready
for a grand occasion that will be to the
benefit of the whole city. If you are
called on for a small contribution give
it cheerfully in the knowledge that it
is given in a good cause.
It would be very foolish for the Unit
ed States congress to put itself on re
cord as to any proposed future policy
with reference to the Philippines
No man living knows what will appear
five or ten years hence to be the best
disposition to make of the islands. If
any premature announcement should
be made now it would make this nation
the laughing stock of the world. The
thing to do is to cork up the "consti-
tutional" kfiends quietly sit upon the
ultra conservatives keep cool do noth-
ing hastily proclaim no intentions
and then wait for time to develop a
policy.
The country in the neighborhood of
Jarilla on the El Paso and Northeast-
ern railway is attracting more and
more attention. There is no doubt
that to that country we are justified in
looking for an enormous increase in
trade and growth in population that
will benefit this city. It is a section
that is and always will be directly
tributary to El Paso and our people
can do no better than to investigate
the opportunities there offered and in-
vest as the outlook warrants.
The two men who have made the
greatest and most enduring names in
the past year of Anglo Saxon race
are Admiral Dewey and General Kit-
chener. We will not refer to their
great work of empire building. Their
chief claim to eternal immortality ia
the fact that both have declined to
write books or magazine articles tell
ing of their exploits.
The Roswell and Eddy country is
growing at a great rate. We hear
more and more of that section every
day and there seems to be a steady
growth there. It is probable that with
the bulUicg of the several projected
new railroads that rich section will be
more closely bound to us in a commer
cial sense than it is now.
Help along the corner stone cele-
bration in everv Dossible way. No man
ought to be willing to take his share
of the pleasure and the profit that will
accrue to the city when the project is
realized unless he has first given his
proportionate offering to the expense
fund.
Mr. Rockefeller offers a Balary of
one million dollars a year to any man
who can take his position and manage
his immense wealth acceptably. Lots
of fellows would be willing to try it a
week even if they were fired at the end
of the time.
There is a fine chance just now for
the people of this city to show how
well they can stand together when any
good is to be accomplished for the
community. Push the corner stone
celebration along-.
Gorman of Maryland is working for
the democratic nomination to the pres
idency. Maybe to elect him would be
the best way to kill him politically. It
never fails.
An exchange referring to the rati-
fication of the peace treaty the other
day says that "the senate seen its
duty and done it" forcible enough
in truth.
Senator Hoar said the fall of the
American nation would date from the
ratification of the peace treaty with
Spain. Has the slide begun?
Agcinaldo appears to think that
the population of the Philippines
needs thinning out.
OTERO COUNTY.
Some Interesting Data Concerning
the New Division of New
Mexico.
The newly created county of Otero
is one of the most curiously shaped
counties to be found. It has thirteen
square corners and its greatest width
from east to west is 108 miles and its
greatest length from north to south ia 90
miles. It contains about 7200
square miles of territory and embraces
a region that is one of tne richest in
resources in the southwest. Its popu
lation is about 7000 of whom 6500 are
Americans the Mexican population
being almost wholly in the old towns
of Tularosa and La Luz.
About one-fourth of the territory is
timber land. The Sacramento moun
tains contain the finest timber of every
variety to be found in the south wes
About one-half is grazing land and sup
ports a great many head of cattle. The
remaining fourth ia mineral land and
includes the Jarilla mountains. The
entire rainbelt of the Sacramento
mountains ia embraced in the new
county as well as the Mescalero Indian
reservation soon to be opened up for
settlement.
The county is bounded on the north
west corner by halloas peak and on
the northeast corner by White moun
tain. Thus It has aa corner monuments
the two highest mountains in southern
New Mexico.
The first settlement made within the
limits of the new county was made in
xuiarosa in lobz. Tne settlers were
fugitives from the Mexican settlement
of ficaeho which bad been destroyed
by a sudden rise in the waters of the
Rio Grande. They were few in num
bers and lived in constant dread of an
attack by rovine bands of the murder
ous Apaches who held full sway over
tne surrounding country. The oldest
inhabitant was Santos Saiuz of Tula-
rosa who died a few days aeo at the
advanced age of 92 years. He was the
last of the old settlers and died a few
days before the creation of the new
eounty.
in iooo jia j-iuz was settled Dv a
party led by Perry Kearnev. who was
tne nrss American to locate there
He is still a resident of La Luz. In
the same year Dr. J. H. Blazier locat
ed at Mescalero and established a saw
mill which furnished lumber for a very
large surrounding country.

For many years this country was tri
butary to Las Cruces as its nearest
railroad point but the construction of
the railroad brought it into direct com
munica'Joa with El Paso.
