amount of rainfall, and the temper
ature was below the normal, and an
unusual amount of wind.
The month began with cold wealth
er with frosty nights, which was in
furious to the peaches and apricots
then in bloom in the southern part
of the territory. This damage was,
however, much less than was at first
supposed, and the crop now bids fair
to be fully up to the average through
out the territory. Apples, pears,
plums, cherries, nectarines, etc., were
not injured and are looking very well.
The cool weather and high winds
during the first twenty days of the
month held all crops back, but during
the warmer weather of the last ten
days they made good advancement.
In the southern part of the territory
alfalfa is now ready for the first cut
ting, and will be good crop; straw
berries are ripe and of excellent
quality.
All kinds of grain, though not quite
as far advanced as usual at this time
of year, are in excellent condition
and with the present warm weather
will make rapid advancement. What
Is most needed now is more rain and
continued warm weather. The av-
erage of small grains is probably
much greater than ever before put in
in this territory. This is due, to a
great extent, to the magnificent irri-
cation systems that have been COM
pleted recently, putting thousands of
acres of most excellent land in cult
walton. This is especially noticeable
in the lower Pecos valley, where
some 10000 acres of wild land has
been put under cultivation within the
past year.
There is still plenty of water in
all the streams for irrigation pur-
poses and considerable snow yet IN
the mountains to feed the streams as
1T melts. The grass on the ranges is
in fair condition, but needs more
rain. Cattle and sheep came through
the winter with but small loss and are
In good condition.
More crop correspondents are
wanted in all parts of the territory.
Any persons willing to act as such
will please apply to this office for a
supply of blanks and free envelopes,
which will gladly be furnished. A
copy of bulletins will be mailed
each correspondent.

GOULD NOT UNFRlENDIY.

Later developments about the pur-
chase of the ten miles of constructed
road out from Ell Paso towardsWhite
Oaks, in New Mexico, go to show
that the transaction has no signif-
canoe SO far as the proposed Denver
81 Ell Paso road is concerned.
AT first it was supposed that Mr..
Gould made the purchate as a check
mate to the Denver 81 Ell Paso, and
the view of extending the line to
White Oaks and from thence to a
point on the Denver 81 Fort Worth
road in the Texas Panhandle, hao the
facts of the purchase go to show that
such is not the case.
For the ten miles of road and term
inal facilities he paid the sum of
$4,000. If the acquisition was
made with an understanding that the
line to White Oaks was to be pushed,
FL Paso would gladly have made a
donation of the property to Gould
with a good large bonus in addition.
Instead of this Gould paid his cold
cash for the property.
The object of the purchase is this:
The United States has established a
sixteen company post six miles out
from FL Paso on this ten miles of
road. The post is in process of con-
struction and will soon be occu-
pied. 1t is expected that it
will be one of the few very
large posts in the country. Its prox-
unity to Indian lands and the Rio
Grande river-the boundary between
the United States and the republic of
Mexico-makes a large force of
troops there constantly necessary.
1t was to reach this post, for the
ready handling of its immense
freights and large passenger travel,
together with facilities to build his
own line across the river TO Juarez,
and thus escape the onerous toll of
So a car to the A. 7. & S. F., which
he now pays for all of his cars
switched across the river, that the
purchase was made.
Astute railroad men-some who
profess to know the leanings of Mr..
Gould in such matters-do not hes
itate to say that the great railroad |
king is favorable to the Denver line,
because, so long as it remains indie
pendent, it can be made consider
able feeder to his trunk line through |
Texas.
The promoters of the Denver g.
FL Paso are hard at work. Las Vegas
has subscribed 100000, and will |
add $4,000 more if necessary, for
the enterprise. Examinations all
along its course are being pushed
with view of putting the enterprise
before capitalists of the east. Sew
eral of the promoters are now
en- route for New York and Boston
with that end in view.
This line is grand enterprise for
Denver and Colorado, and merits the
hearty cooperation of everybody
with their prosperity at heart

"The Mills license bill has passed

prior arrangements. But its death
knell is already heard in the house.
Not qnite ready for such legislation

AS a prophet the Optic is not much
of a success, and should give up that
line of business. That law has now
been in operation over year, and
there is not better enforced law in
the territory, and it seems to give
good satisfaction.

If the city could only get its other
work done at as cheap rates as it
does its printing it would be able to
make many improvements it cannot
now for lack of funds. But there
are very few other classes of business
which fellows float in and run who
are almost totally unable to make an
estimate or tell what an item costs
them.

The Optic yesterday, in its report
of the council proceedings, did not
give the munificent rates at which it
was awarded the city printing, prob
ably because it was ashamed to give
the price it took it for. We give in
another place its views on prices a
year ago, and that was for prices just
twenty times higher than its bid for
the city printing. As usual, it has
to be on both sides of question in
order to be happy.

0aIuE our Largest Industries

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum-
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building of dimensions 6ox140 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filed with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work overtime.-Syracuse

BLINDED With PEPPER.
J. Kerruth's Painful Experience With
Two FOotpads.
They Blind Him With Cayenne Pepper
and Then Rob Him OF His
Hard-Earned Wages.

AT a quarter to o'clock last evening J.
kerruth, an employee at the railroad
shops, left an electric car at Fifteenth and
NJ streets, and started through Capitol
Park, toward his home at Thirteenth and
@ streets. He had the greater portion of
his months salary in his pockets, having
been paid during the day.
He had gone but few yards inside the
park, and was about midway between
the pavilion and the State Printing Office,
when he met two men. As they passed
him they threw handfuls of cayenne
pepper into his eyes, which blinded him
robbed him of So in COIN
Kerruth, who is a young and able
bodied fellow of about % years, says that,
although he could not see, he de-
Tended himself as best he could. He had
his tin dinner-pail in his hand, and he
swung it at random. 1t struck one of his
assailants with considerable force, but
whether or not it left its mark he could
not say.
His calls for help brought several men
to the spot, and they escorted him to the
printing office, where the pepper was
washed from his eyes sufficiently to en-
able him to get to his parents home. He
atterward visited the Police Station, in
company with his father, and notified the
police Of the occurrence.
A little killing of footpads would come
in very well about this time. The scoun-
drels have had things too much their
own way, and If some ofthe men assaulted
would turn loose and kill their assailants
there is no doubt the good people of the
city would decorate them with medals.
