Postal Irregularities.

Mr.. s. V. R. Sherwood, postmaster
at Brainerd, has been in trouble. Mr..
s. P. Child, special agent Of the post>
Office department, dropped in the
Brainerd post~of6ce, on Wednesday Of
last week, and after careful inspec-
ton of the books discovered defcien>
cy in the postal money department of
$4,000. Mr.. Sherwood could not ex>
plain the discrepancy, and he was
therefore arrested and the Office placed
in charge Of the postmaster's bondsmen.
As Mr.. Sherwood stood we'll in the
community an attempt was made by
his many friends to raise the money
and restore the deficiency. While this
matter was under consideration, Mr..
Sherwood disappeared from view, which
aroused the suspicion of Detective
Child that he intended to abscond.
But it transpired that Mr.. Sherwood
went off to a friend some ten miles,
to secure advice and assistance. When
he returned to Brainerd he took the
train for St Paul where he proposed
to surrender himself to the United
States marshall. Marshall McLarin
placed him in charge Of Sheriff King.
He was brought before the commits
sioner Friday morning, waived an ex>
animation and was held to appear at
the next term Of court, in the sum of
$1,000. The bail bond was given,
which being accepted he was dis
charged, returning the same evening
to Brainerd. We learn 8 ince that
Mr.. Sherwood has succeeded in OBJ
tanning $500 from Mr.. Mooers, and
has turned it with all the property he
possesses, valued at $2,106, over to Mr.
Kindred for his bondsmen, and thus
has paid the entire deficit to within
less than 500.

The Soil and Water Powers of
Morrison County.

From State Geologist winchelps report.
The immediate river valley is rath-
er sandy, and has reacted against the
settlement Of the county: but the gen.
eral level of the country, away from
the river, is Of very different char
aoter. There is a fine red loan that
covers much of the land east of the
river, which is Of the same nature and
date as the loam that. spread over the
uplands in much of the southeastern
portion of the State, and has given
that section of the State a notoriety
for ease of culture and fertility of soil,
second to none III the United States.
This loan in some places is rather
coarse. II Isl indeed, seldom clayey,
as it is*in Houston County, and in 9TH
er plasesiit is wanting, the soil then
being a gravelly hardpan, or gravelly
clay. The eastern portion of the
county is mainly one of plain, Or rises
and falls In broad undulations, the
valleys being occupied BY the creeks
that generally drain southward, or to-
ward the Mississippi. On the west
side Of the river the alluvial plains
are wide, and are rather wet now, but
they are destined to be drained, which
can easily be done, when they Will be
found to possess some Of the best soils
in the county. The hardpan that
closely underlies these fats sometimes
appears in low knobs which have al.
ready been taken By settlers, as they
rise slightly above flats and furnish .
different forest growth; while back
OF the flats Is , series Of drift bluffs
furnishing heavy :hardwoods, which
correspond with the bluits on the east
side Of the river Nhese bluffs intro

INDIAN TROUBLES. Women and Children Hor- ribIy MutiIated d. The Maruders are Southern ChIri-
 cahua Indians. Latest from the Scene of
 Hostilities.
ESPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
SANTA FE, New Mexico, SeDtember 24th. 1919.

On the 11th instant, ten Mexicans, men, women and children were mur- dered in the Jaralosa Cienega, some three miles west of McEvers ranch. The women and children were horrl- bly, and .disgustingly mutilated- Their heads and faces were battered in iron bars being used for the purpose.
 Beside those killed there were over twenty rive women and children badly wounded. In the fight that took place in the corn field at McEvers' ranch, over thirty horses were killed.
 The Indians belong to the South ern Chiricahua tribe, and are old Ca hise's band. They are well mounted on horses from Hooker's command that was defeated some time since. They are all well armed and equir- ped for long campaign. They have been reinforced by Loco and Nicto- rios band, and number about so.

Not alone in this but also by assisting persons worthy of aid to obtain a foothold.

FRUIT AND SHADE TREES.

We are pleased to notice that some of our citizens are taking measures for beaulifying tn cir homes in the planting of fruit and ornamental trees. There is something enchant- ing about house that seems 10 play "bo- peep" with passers by, from ev- ergreens It looks more like home than the one which stares you out of countenance by it's nakedness. Its value is enhanced by being thus orna- mented, and it is vastly more pleas ant at any time. The cost of such improvements is very light in this valley and town. Trees are cheap and easy to obtain and the slabor of planting them, and the care required in protecting them, amounts to noth- ing compared to pleasure offered by their cheering presence. Almost all species of fruit and shade trees will flourish hsre with but little attention. The orange, pine apple, banana will grow and thrive here with profit, be- sides q source of pleasure. The To- cust is a handsome ahd hardy tree and a barrier against the heavy winds of this valley in protecting the delicate plants; the pepper, cypress, and acacia will thrive and become vigorous in this country, as will be seen by visit to some of the older ranches. In fact from our expert encc, we believe that everything will grow in this valley that flourishes in similar climate Water for irriga- tion is at hand, the soil is rich, and everything is favorable for making this valley, the garden spot of the Pacific Coast. In few years our Territoy will have donble the popu- lation it now has, and this valley will be called upon 10 support it with fruits. To meet this demand trees must be planted, and vineyards laid out. Remember that 'procrasti- nation is the thief of time'
