Rail routes to Mexico May Reshape White Oaks Fate
Rumors say a Deming to Pacific coast railroad will be built, with Rock Island backing a Deming to White Oaks link to Liberal Kansas. Panhandle residents seek a $1,000,000 subsidy to spur Rock Island extension. Santa Fe plans suggest a gap from San Angelo to Pecos City may be tied to Eddy via Roswell and White Oaks to Albuquerque, creating a major transcontinental route. Local letters mention stamps, currency, and postal clerks.

Mail route grievance prompts push for White Oaks terminal
The post office orders Ozanne & Co. to deliver mail immediately on arrival of the Carthage coach causing long hours for the postmaster and pushing the need to make White Oaks a terminal point. Residents argue the route yields revenue for White Oaks and burdens Nogal, Ft Stanton, and Lincoln. The call goes out for action to secure a terminal status.
