BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
A Business Man Reviews Santa FEES
Methods and Makes Some
Timely Points.

Bradstreet's southwestern representa-
tive while here recently said he was graft
fed to note that the business houses of
Santa Fe continue to enjoy their ordinary
quota of trade, despite the cry of hard
times and the depression of all trade and
industrial institutions throughout the
country.
Speaking from this text to-day, citizen
who has habit of keeping his eyes open
while plodding the daily walks of life, was
heard to say that he considered Santa TIE
particularly fortunate in many respects at
this time. He called attention to the fact
that Santa FEES "dull season. originally
began some five years ago, when it be-
came apparent that without an abund-
ance of water little could be accomplished
toward making this beautiful and pros
porous mountain city. Then there came
an exodus, and every man who stayed had
to have employment. Then it was bed
rock began to be approached; every
merchant began looping Off expenses
here and there and conducted his bust
ness on as economical scale as possible,
and they have ever since proceeded on
this same line, SO that as q result during
these stringent times they are in splendid
condition, all things considered. In fact,
business here since the water develop
ment enterprise was inaugurated has
been steadily on the upgrade and is in
much better shape to-day than it has
been for years. The certainty that this
water development is to bring under IT.
rigation and cultivation large areas of
suburban fruit lands has had the effect of
stimulating interest in Santa Fe's future
and this interest beneficlally effects all
branches of business. There is no need
of crying hard times in Santa Fe, for her
Rubicon in this respect has been crossed.
1t will go the other way from now hence
forth, if the people remain content
with steady growth rather than a boom
and continue to do business on the safe,
conservative basis that has hitherto
characterized their methods.

There was another little wash-out on
the Santa Fe Southern last evening, but
it was repaired this forenoon, and last
nights train got in about l o'clock.
Passengers say that fearful rain storms
have prevailed for three days past be-
tween Salida and Espanola. Near the
latter place and in the San Luis valley
the water poured down in binding sheets
for hours, and at many points the cars
ran through water more than "hub deep"
From all Indications another heavy storm
is raging out along the Santa Fe South
ern this afternoon.
Within one year from this date Santa
Fe's big water reservoir will be brim full
and work will be in progress on Others
quite as large. This insures Santa Fes
prosperity. Water is king and there's
big money in suburban fruit land where
ever it is stored.

The engine, as the door of the furnace is
situated there. This engine ran between
Los Angeles and Long Beach before the

that place. The cars are like street cars

and push, as the engine was not very

A FARMERS VIEW.

An old farmer of Sumter
County writes us as follows.
"Mr. Editors There is being SO
much said ia the country about
hard times and the scarcity of
money, and as everybody has a
cause and knows a remedy, ]
thought would write to tell
your readers what think is the
cause. The trouble is we buy
more than we produces There
is too much -four and bacon
shipped here every year,\ IKE
things we ought to make at Eeae
we are buying,
Owe let our timber rot and
buy our plow stocks, singletrees,
ak handles, hoe handles and
fencing.
We throw away our ashes and
buy soap and axle grease.
We give away our beef hides
and buy hame strings and shoe
strings,
We, let our manure go to waste
and buy guano.
We buy garden seed in the
spring and cabbage in the win
ter.
We let our lands grow up in
weeds and buy our brooms,
We let the wax out of our
pine and gum trees go to waste
and buy chewing gum for our
children
We build school houses and
hire teachers and send our chill
dren off to be educated.
We land a Scent fibh with
81 fishing rod.
We send a i5.ceht boy out
with a $40 gun and a "a dog to
kill birds,
We raise dogs and buy wool.
And about the only thing in
this country that there is an ov-
en- production of is politics and

about the same snowfall as nj
Camas Prairie, but it seldom
drifts, generally lies on the
fence until il melts.
From the bridge to the Koos-
koos'kie River nearly all the
land is taken up there being
about thirty families besides
half dozen squaw men and a
score of bachelors There is now
about one thousand acres in
cultivation. nearly one third of
winch is seeded in timothy.
There are eight bearing orchards
and five or six young orchards
just beginning to bear. The
timothy crop this year was poor,
being only about one ton per
acre. 1t usually runs from a
ton and half to two tons.
About fifteen hundred tons of
timothy and grain hay was put
up this season.
The worst feature of this en-.
tire belt is that it's streams all
lie in deep gorges; but tie gar-
den of Eden was watered no bet
ter. Springs abound everywhere
and not rancher, in the whole
country, has to haul water.
When viewed from the Prairie
one looks down upon a beautiful
landscape; a veritable park Of
lovely glades and shadowy glens;
the delight OF the sportsman and
the home Of the deer.
Believing that whoever reads
this and then pays the country
a visit will not fhd this picture,
in the least. overdrawn, but will
find society, educational facili-
ties and morality in general in a
better condition than they ex-
pected.
