New Mexico must raise more hay and
ship less from Kansas. 1t is simply

When our great Pecos valley is opened
up by railroads We will, in that section,

Las Vegas note: The sheriff, likewise
the governor, has been appealed to for
protection by parties who stand in fear
that their fences will be cut-fences, too,
on lands to which the owners have a
clear chain of title. 1t would seem that

owner Of the pasture, is in California and
has been telegraphed for. The miscre-
ants who are committing these deeds
seem to be working northward. Optic.
