been able to spend here for something
more than three years, and although
times are hard, as they are elsewhere
there are fine crops and the conditions
generally present as favorable an out
look as anywhere that l know.
Whatever may be said to the contrary
l have little reason to complain of my
investments here. 1t has been difficult
for me as well as others, to secure the
cash funds necessary for such large
operations as mine are here and it is not
to be expected that the local banking
facilities can afford all tAe aid that is
needed
The Irrigated Farms company here, of
which I am president, has grown very
large crops and will show a handsome
margin of profit for the years business.
Ny six hundred acre vineyard is certainly
one of the finest in the country anywhere,
and is more than meeting all my expecta-
lions. Neither have 1 reason to com plain
of the individual farming operations or
the crops resulting from them. A very
large portion of my expenditures has
been in the nature of permanent i'm
provements, and the value of them is
temporarily affected by the business
depression.
There is class of people in every COM
munity who seem to find delight in crti-
cising the action of their neighbors and
in disparaging the conditions which sur
round them, and those who have enterprise
and energy enough to undertake and &C.
complish more than they are capable Of,
are generally the victims of their ILL
natured comment.
This valley is particularly fortunate in
having its water furnished by company
of immense resources, which has been
able to meet all the embarrassmeLts and
losses of the year, not only from the gen.
eral business depression but from the
exceptional floods, which have 80 dam
aged their works, and that fact of itself
insurss to those who come here measure
of security which can be obtained in very
few other places.
The improvements in the valley have
been on a scale in excess of any locality
that know of in any part of the western
country during the past year, and the out
look for the coming year is, in my opin-
ion, exceptionally good. 1t is the e1
perience, think, of all the west that i'm
migration has moved in greater volume
Immediately succeeding such general
business depression as we have been pass
ing through, than at other times, and this
locality is just in the condition now to
derive the largest benefit from such mi
grafton. The exhibits of the products of
the valley which have been made both at
Chicago and Dallas have attracted wide
spread attention, and already inquiry
comes from very broad field. Truly
yours, CHAs. w. GREENE.

That Old Friend.

That Old Friend.
A certain New York millionaire club
man, famous for his dinners and sayings
is just now relating good story against
himself. He has recently returned from q
years absence abroad and has naturally
forgotten few names, placing those he
remembers, as rule, on the wrong person,
so that his attempts at hearty recognition
have been somewhat dangerous, yet anus.
Ing.
He was going down Fifth avenue the
other day when he caught sight of figure
which in the distance he seemed to recall.
Increasing his somewhat measured walk,
he presently passed the man and then re.
traced his steps.
A glance at his face was sufficient. He
knew him and recollected as he advanced
toward him cozy little dinner by the
window in the club dining room, where be
had listened so attentively to the stories
with which the man now before him had
deluged the conversation.
The stranger looked up as 'Why, my
dear fellow, I'm very glad to see you," fell
upon his ears.
A look of keen humor lighted up his eyes
as he clasped, apparently reluctantly, tho
speakers extended hand.
"You are very kind" he murmured,
livery kind, SIR"
"Why, what nonsensel Here, I'm just
going to lunch at Delmonico's. You must
come with me and tell me some more of
your French Stories"
''Storiesl What storiess" gasped his old
friend.
Don't you remember that dinner on tho
night before my departurei Why, you sim
ply reeled them off,"
'Oh, yesl served that we'll, eh?" he re-
piled, with a slowness that portended =
double entendre.
Atthat moment the porch of Delmonico's
was reached, and in they turned.
An hour was passed over delightful
lunch whereat the multimillionaire related
anecdotes Of his years travel.
The bill had just been presented and re-
ceipted as he said:
Pm devilish sorry, you know, but I'm
awfully bad at names. I've quite forgotten

Grand Canon of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than a brook.

the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. 7. Nicholson, G. p. q 7. A., A.
I. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem

SOME IRRECONCILABLE STATEMENTS OF THE
CENSUS,


1t is not known, snd probably never
will be, whether or not Mr.. F. H. Newell,
who had charge of the irrigation statis-
tics of the last census, deliberately falsi
fed his returns. That he was incompe-
tent, however, is certain. According to
his figures in the regular Census bulletin
No. so, the number of irrigators and irri-
gated farms is put at 3,0s5, and irrigated
area of New Mexico at 91,745 acres, with
average of thirty-one acres per farm.
Extra bulletin No. 60, devoted to the
ownership of farms and homes, states
that the total number of families owning
or renting farms is 9,518. There are not
100 farms in New Mexico on which water
is not artificially applied. Mr.. Newell is
therefore off about 100000 acres in the
amount of land actually irrigated and
over 5000 in the number of irrigators.
The New MEXICAN knows that he had
notice of the falsity of his statements,
through such men as Mortimer White
head, national lecturer of the Grange, and
Col. Richard j. Hinton, then chief of the
Irrigation Inquiry. He has always an
grily adhered to his enunciations, never
theless. Time has made the west even.
These latest statistics of homes and
farms place New Mexico in her true light
as a prosperous and growing irrigated
region. The pity is that the west should
be saddled with the incompetency and
ignorance of such men. Mr.. Newell is,
and was when he tabulated his false state
ments, geographer in the U. s. geologi-
cal survey.

Caught.

Caught.
DR.. John Erskine, a we'll known Scottish
divine, was remarkable for his simplicity
of manner and gentle temper.
He returned SO often from the pulpit
minus his pocket handkerchief that Mrs.
Erskine at last began to suspect that the
handkerchiefs were stolen by some of the
old women who lined the pulpit stairs. So
both to balk and detect the culprit she
sewed a corner of the handkerchief to one
of the pockets of his coattails.
Half way up the stairs the good doctor
felt tug, whereupon he turned round and
caught hold of the hand Of the guilty old
woman, saying, with great tenderness and
simplicity:
mo the day, honest woman; no. the
day. Mrs. Erskine has sewed it in."-
