A Santa Fe business man who was in
El Paso the other day let ont the se-
cret that a big scheme is being hatched
at Sante Fe and Albuquerque to pre-
vent the development of the new terri-
tory being opened np by the El Paso &
Northeastern railroad.
It is said that the scheme originated
in Albuquerque and that Mr. Benedict,
superintendent of forestry for New
Mexico and Arizona has been interested
in the scheme. The Santa Fe man who
was in El Paso the other day stated
that the government would be asked to
set aside as a forest preserve a strip of
land extending from the Capitanmoun-
tains east of White Oaks to the Texas
line, over 100 miles in length and thir-
ty miles wide.
It is intended that this forest preserve
shall take in all of the Mescalero In-
dian reservation and all of that rich sec-
tion of country through which the
White Oaks road now runs and is being
bnilt. Mr. Hawkins, attorney for the
road, was asked what he knew about
the proposition and said:
“I have heard some rumors to the ef-
fect that a forest preserve would be
asked for in the section of country yon
mention, but 1 hope thev are merely
idle rumors; for if the government
should take that land and close it up as
a forest preserve it would simply be
roping the people who are investing
their money there; and more, it would
be an outrage on the territory of New
Mexico. 1 think it would be best not to
mention the matter, for I feel confident
that if any such movement is on foot,
the department at Washington can be
relied upon to stand by the people of
New Mexico.”
It is understood that Mr. Benedict
will be in El Paso in a lew days to make
a trip through the country, which it is
proposed to have set aside as a forestry
preserve. And it is a well-known fact
that of late years forest preserves have
been a popular fad with the laud de-
partment; and in nearly every instance
where a few petitioners have asked for
forest preserves the petitions have
been granted. The officials at Wash-
ington seem to think that the agricul-
tural and timber lands of the west- are
not needed by home seekers and are
oulv fit for forest or game preserves.
Bnt if this latest forestry scheme is
carried into execution it will cost El
Paso millions of dallars by making use-
less one of the richest sections oi New
Mexico, which is now being developed
and made tributary to El Paso while
it would not interfere with the develop-
ment of the mineral lauds of that sec-
tion, it would tie up tbe timber and
agricultural lands and close the fine
cattle ranges. Those ranges would
market in El Paso every year thousands
of heads of cattle and large quantities
of wool. And the agricultural lands
would furnish thousands of prosperous
farms that would market their product
in this city and purchase their supplies
here.
According to information certain
commercial points in northern New
Mexico are dissatisfied because this
wealthy section of the territory has
been made tributary to El Paso, aud
like the dog in the manger they pro-
pose to try and keep from El Paso’s
lips that luxury which they oannot gel
to their own. But the people of this
city will make a fight for their own and
j will call upon the solid Texas delega-
! tion in congress to stand by El Paso,
i There is now pendiug in congress a
| bill providing for the opening of the
I Mescalero reservation to homesteaders:
i but the forestry union will fight that
j bill, and if it carries pressure will be
brought to bear on the land department
to recommend the setting aside of this
vast territory as a forest preserve The
forest fanatics will not be satisfied with
the Mescalero reservation, but as al-
ready stated, they want in their pre-
serve a territory 100x30 miles in area —
extending in length from the Capitan
mountain dne sonth to the Texas line.
some of the southern counties of New
Mexico, will amoant to nothing more
than talk, because Texas will never
consent to surrender El Paso county.
Bat if the thing conld be done it wonld
be a good move for this city, for El Paso
would undoubtedly be the fountain
head of commerce and politics for the
new state. The interests of this county
are not identical with the interests of
those thickly populated counties of the
state whose vote dictates the laws of the
state. But tbe fortunes of this county
and of southern New Mexico lest upon
same basis and what wonld be good for
El Paso county wonld also.be good for
southern New Mexico.”
An ex-citizen of New Mexico said
yesterday:
“This proposition to create a new
state out of El Paso county and a por-
tion of New Mexico has created some
alarm in the northern part of the ter-
ritory. For it rnnst be admitted that
the powers at Washington are not all
pleased with New Mexico’s recent war
record. True, plenty of men from the
territory voluntereed to fight Spain,
but were not from the old native fam-
ilies. Indeed I do not think that a
dozen Mexican citizens of the territory
offered to go to the front to fight for the
stars and stripes. I met a volunteer of-
ficer the other day who was just back
from Washington aud he told me that
department officials at the capital were
very severe in their criticisms of lack
of patriotism among the natives of New
Mexico. He said that special agents
were sent to the territory last summer
to inquire into the patriotism of the
people. The intelligent people of the
territory know that their territory is
not in good repute at Washington aud
they fear that it will he pieced ont
among other states. The people of
southern New Mexico are more than
willing to join a part of Texas in the
formation of a new state. But 1 do
not think Texas will ever consent to
part with a foot of her territory.”
The resolution introduced by Repre-
“Ooii wave and norther for New
Mexico and the east and north portion
of western Texas. Temperatnre will
fall 25 to 40 degrees by Saturday night,
with severe norther.”
El Paso is not in the eastern or north-
ern portiou of the west, still it is din-
ero to political promises that that north-
er blows its breath under El Paso’s cov-
ering for New Mexico finds anything
she didn't lose she passes the bet to El
Paso. It may be the smallpox, a sick
pauper or a cyclone; but all the same
New Mexioo manages to get El Paso
into the game.
So the people of El Paso can prepare
for a mix-up with the outskirts of a
blizzard, which the weather has kindly
scheduled to play an engagement in
New Mexico today.
MEXICAN REVENUE REPORTS.
Show h Ur eat Increase of Trade with this
Country.
The employes of the Juarez custom
house have just finished making up
their January accounts, and the results
show a marked increase over the
••mount of the imports for last Decem-
ber. which were published in the
Tim is.
Daring the mouth of January, 1899
the value of merchandise imported into
Mexico through the port of Juarez was
$415,550.00 and the duties collected
amounted to $102,671.12. The custom
house officials report that they are now
kept very busy and next month expect
to do a much larger business.
The reports from all ports in the re-
public for the first half of the present
Seal year have also been completed
and forwarded to Mexico, and the in-
ternal revenue department has just
compiled their reports, showing the ag-
gregate amount of the imports and ex-
ports during that period.
A verified copy of the grand totals
shows that the imports for the period
mentioned amounted to twenty-two
and a half million dollors, in gold;
Oilier Notes About the Corner-Stone Cele-
bration.—W|U>t Excursion Antes.
The committee in charge of the bal-
masqne will bold an important meeting
at the bicycle store of McCntcheon &
Pavue this morning at 10:30 o’clock and
Chairman Magoffin is anxions that ev-
ery member of the xunmittee be pres-
ent.
Local chefs are making inquiries aa
to when the supper committee of the
corner-stone celebration is going to let
its oontract for tbe supper. One of the
chefs told a Times reporter that in
order to be in readiness to serve such a
sapper as he understood was going to
be given, a chef shonid have at least
two weeks’ time as he might have to
order some of his dishes from a consid-
erable distance. Chairman Reckhart's
committee is no doubt already attend-
ing to this matter.
It is understood that the El Paso
Chorus will be invited by the committee
on ceremonies to prepare a couple of
choruses for the corner-stone exercises.
The Times wonld suggest that “Amer-
ica” be one of the choruses.
“I wonld like to know,” said a young
society man yesterday, “if auyoue in
El Paso has ordered any oostumes to
rent for the ball. If the Times would
ask the question it might secure an ad-
vertisement, for it wonld be worth
money to any person who is going to
have costumes to rent to notify the pub-
lic of the fact now.”
As the committee on ceremonies will
be expected to furnish music for the
parade, it should emrage the McGiuty
baud at onje so that the boys can do a
little practicing. Since the plaza con-
certs last summer the baud has not prac-
ticed, and no doubt needs a little units
marches. ”
Has the transportation committee
called on all of the railroad officials to
secure excursion rates from points in
Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas’; If excursion rates are adver-
tised far enough iu advance there will
be many visitors in El Paso to partici-
pate in the festivities of the corner-stone
celebration.

Decline** the Honor.
To the Honorable City Council
Gentlemen—I notice in the morning
Times of this date a report of the ac-
tion of the city council m naming the
new park. “Buckler Square.” I appre-
ciate the kindness shown me by the
aldermen of the city in my effort to im-
prove the park, and I especially appre-
ciate the houor conferred upon me by
giving the square the name mentioned;
bnt it appears to me that a more appro-
priate name might have been selected.
I therefore feel that I must decline the
honor aud will ask the council to kindly
reconsider its action and give the square
some other name. Respectfully,
Mrs. C. 'A. Buckler

which is an increase over the same per-
iod of the vear before of nearly two
million dollars.
Nearly fifty per cent of the imports
came from the United States.
Export* for the same time amounted
to seventy-one and a half million dol
lars, silver, which shows an increase of
nearly eight millions, More than two-
thirds of the exports referred to were
from the United States.
These statistics prove the rapidly in-
creasing trade of Mexico with this
country and fcrtells the great possibili
ties of the international commerce.
As El Paso is tbe chief gateway to
Mexico it is evident that she will al
ways control her share of this traffic,
which will tend to dpvelope the indus
tries of the surrounding country and
attract all new business enterprises to
this city.

Mttde Kneinle* by the Aid Rendered to
Kiulgrtftntfl
N. Y. Journal: The report of the ex-
pulsion of Count Tolstoi in the near
future will not down despite the ex-
tremely cordial meeting which the great
Russian idealist had with the czar re-
cently.
The report is founded principally on
the fact.that tbe count has made a host
of enemies by the aid he has given to
the emigrating Donkobars, or Russian
Quakers, who are founding settlements
in the Canadian Northwest.
The czar is highly displeased at the
action of Count Tolstoi’s eldest son,
who is making preparations to accom-
pany a lame number of emigrants to
America, where he will help them to
acquire homes, after which he will re-
turn under tbe parental roof.
The Doukobars say they receive in-
spiration directly from heaven, without
sacerdotal or biblical intervention.
They disregard the priesthood aud the
sacraments, reject the doctrine of the
Trinity, and refuse to take the oath or
to enlist in military service.
This sect dates from the days of Peter
the Great, when small communities
were started all over the Russian em-
pire. They suffered great persecution
under Catherine II. and Paul I. Alex-
ander 1 tolerated them, confining them
however to the province of Taurien. In
1891 they were removed to the district
of Anhalkalak’, in Trans-Caucasia.
They are excellent farmers and cattle
raisers. _________
Tesla** Latent, PropoNHl.
Mikola Tesla, whose boldness in con-
ceiving astonishing uses to which elec-
tricity may be put has given the scien-
tific world surprises from time to time,
has a new proposal.
He now proposes to destroy the bocilli
of all diseases by applying millions of
volts of electricity to persons afflicted.
The tremendous force is to be applied
iu such a manner that the vital organs
will be free from harmful effects aud so
that the bacilli will be drawn from the
system,
The tremendous current which Tesla
proposes to apply will not be sent
through the body, as in the cases of
persons executed by electricity, but will
run along tbe surface.
The new plan for destroying disease
germs, inclnding even those of con-
sumption, was outlined in an exhaust-
ive paper which the electrician read be-
fore the Electro-Therapeutic society
and created deep interest.
Practical Philanthropy.
San Francisco Wave. A young Phila-
delphian went to a millionaire friend
and asked pecuniary aid to start him in
.business. “Do you drink,” asked the
millionaire. “Once in awhile.” “Stop
it! Stop it! Stop it for a year and then
come and see me.” The young man
broke off the habit at out*, and at the
end of the year came to see the million-
aire again. “Do you smoke?” asked the
Successful man. "Now and then.” Stop
it! Stop it for a year, then come and
see me again ” The young man stopped
smoking, but he did not go back again.
"He’d have told me,” hesaid, “that now
that I have stopped drinking and smok-
ing I must have saved enough to start
myself iu business, and I have."
