Albuquerque Citizen: The smoke
stack of the water works fell with loud
crash this morning, completely breaking
it to pieces. The high wind night before

dence and number of outbuildings, be-
longing to William Mcintosh, the sheep

the cook present during the fire. He was
unable to save anything, so rapidly did
the flames burn. 1t is thought here by
some of Mr.. McIntosh's intimate friends

estimate their losses of calves as high as
so per cent, from this cause alone, and
one observing stock owner, whose range
is near the Texas line, was heard to re- !
mark that he would be compelled to move
his herds if some steps we're not taken to
rid the country of these pests.
A little rise in the Vermije last week |
made the ranchmen and orchardists feel |
quite elated. The anxiously looked for |
water was quite an incentive to crop
growers. The fruit bloom was show,
as all kinds of trees show great promise
of heavy fruitage. The great contrast Of

states in word, but where the thrift and

for every resident of New Mexico to prove
his or her brain force in the surroundings.
The great prairie, which few years ago
made ride to the Vermijo monotonous,
is now changed. -Raton Reporter.
