A SCENE FROM SHORE ACRES.

and in this instance he has located his scenes
on the rock-bound coast of Maine. His treat
ment Is original and effective. The story is
simple. There is a good brother and one not
quite so good though he is more headstrong
than bad. The good one wants to keep the
family farm, and the other one wants to cut
1t up into building lots and speculate with it.
As the place stands in the name of the head
strong one. he does as he likes with it. and
ruins himself, besides estranging his friends
and alternating the affections of mis- daughter.
The better man turns over his pension money,
restores confidence and happiness, and the
shore acres remain as possessions of the
family.
There is a pretty love story and any amount
OF wholesome comedy. There is no villain,
no intricate plot and no blood-curdling dra-
matte climax. The play appeals through the
heart. 1t is clean. pure, and moral. These
last-named qualities have been commended
by many of the most ,sminent clergymen in
America, and on at least two occasions ashore

Acalde, N. M. May 21.-In Alcalde val
lev, extending from Embudo to Alcalde,
the soil is exceedingly fertile and easily
worked, and even with poor implements
and Indifferent culture produces all kinds
of vegetables, corn, wheat and all the
cereals Of fine quality and abundance
often yielding SO high as fifty bushels to
the acre of wheat, and with proper tillage
and improved farming implements a
greater yield could be had. This valley
is especially adapted to the raising of
fruit, as witness numerous orchards. In
the gardens may be seen many varieties
of melons, apples, pears, peaches, plums,
cherries, grapes, strawberries and other
fruits of large size, fine flavor and in
great abundance.
Each town or settlement has it's own ir-
rigating ditch or canal, which is the prop
erty of the community, The Alcalde
canal was constructed by Sebastian Mar
tin in 1706.
On the eastern side of this far-famed
valley between the Rio Grande and the
mountains there are thousands of acres
of rich land still awaiting enterprise to
place it under proper state of cultiva-
ton.
The purchase of this land and the con-
structlen of an irrigation ditch would
prove most excellent Investment for
capitalists. Come and see us and make
your home here.

MUNICIPAL NOTES.
Nuisances Must Be Abated-Sprinkle

About Town.

The order of the city council directing
the marshal to abate all nuisances meets
with the cordial appreciation of all good
citizens. In the terse language of Mayor
Sloan, "the Blschoff slaughter house and
all other nuisances within the city limits
must be abated.' Santa Fe processes to
be sanitarium. 1t must make its words
good. Professions without works are
worthless.
The council acted wisely in adopting
Mr.. Easley's resolution authorizing and
directing the committee on streets and
bridges to make immediate arrangements
for sprinkling the streets of the city
Dust is disagreeable as we'll as hurtful.
Glass it under the head of nuisances and
abate it. Happily Santa Fe now has an
ample supply of water for all purposes.
No good citizen wants to annoy or dis
turb the Santa Water company. ALI
recognize that it is doing work of great
value to this city and vicinity, but it must
not make too heavy drafts on the good
nature of the people. The water com
pany must Immediately restore the streets
of the city to the condition they we're II
before the excavations were made for THE
new water mains. Patience occasionally
ceases to be a virtue.

Iron King mine. A lot Of men were put
to work on the Iron King yesterday. They
have struck the Lone Star vein ON the
Iron King and are now taking out hne
ore In addition to the twelve feet OF
mineral that they had before. A force OF
twenty men will be put to work on the
big reservoir in Cochiti canon this week.
This reservoir will hold one million bar
rels when completed. Six men are now
at work on the mill site, while there is
gang of men in the mountains getting out
square timbers for the mill.
The new water company will be incor-

NEW STRIKES.
New strikes of ore running from $32 to
800 per ton are so frequent in the Co.
chit district that they excite very little
comment. Returns just at hand from
Burlingame show 800 ore in new pros
pect in Cola canon. In the Lone Star
tunnel rich vein of $500 ore has been
struck, and when roasted it shows blisters
of gold. That the principal mines run
high in tellurium is now settled beyond
all doubt. fine body of mineral similar
to that in the Crown Point has been I'M
covered in the Miners Union claim, In
the west fork of Pine canon, over mile
from the Crown Point. In Cochiti canon
the Little Colorado claim, owned by Al
buquerque and La Junta parties, reportd
a new strike, assay returns from which
have come to hand from Pueblo. 1t yields
81 in gold and $S5 in silver, making a
total of 1926 to the ton. Near Bear
canon, ten miles south of Pine canon,
some fine ore is being extracted and the
lodges are similar to those in the Lone
Star. One claim which shows twelve feet
of quartz gives an assay return of one
ounce in gold and 3315 ounces in silver
It is owned by Robt. Herrcke, A.Goodall
W. H. Kennedy, Chas. Way, of Cerrillos

WAS IT ACCIDENTALo
The Republican Political Pot Set Boil
ing-Leaders Said to be Tying to
Mr.. OterO, of Las Vegas.

As far as concerns "the surface indica-
TONS" as the miners say, the meeting of
several prominent Republican politicians
in the capital city yesterday may have
been wholly accidental" but gossip to-
day puts an entirely different construc-
ton on it. Night before last Mr.. Miguel
A. Otero, ex district clerk at Las Vegas,
came to Santa Fein company with his next
best friend a staunch Republican, Mr..
D. C. Winters. Yesterday forenoon's
train from the south brought Hon. NJ. S.
Otero and Hon. j. E. Saint, of Albuquer-
que, and during the day there were a
number of conferences with local Repub-
licans, notable among whom were Hon
L. A. Hughes and Hon. Z. A. Fiske. MI
Catron was out of the city; also ex-Gov
Prince.
| To-day the street has it that ex-Clerk
| Miguel Otero is right in the thick of the
race for Republican nominee for delegate
and that the object of this conference was
to talk over the chances for his success
Hon. M. 8. Otero is said to be cordially sup
porting his cousins ambition in this drec
ton and Mr.. Hughes, and, in fact, ma
| jority of the Santa Fe Republican leaders
outside of the immediate followers of Mr.
Catron and ex-Gov. Prince, are also quite
inclined to join the Otero procession
There are some who think the subject Ii
brought forward entirely too early, but
this does not alter their friendly DISPOSE
ton toward the dapper little Las Vegan
1t is alleged that arrangements have
about been perfected for securing Otere
delegations in San Miguel, Santa Fe ant
Bernalillo counties and that combinations
having in view similar moves in Other
counties are in progress of incubation.
A New MEXICAN scribe caught Mr.
Otero on the fly this afternoon, just as hi
was entering carriage to 60 with Hon
L. A. Hughes and others to inspect thu
new water reservoir, and he said: IN,
visit here is not of political nature, an'
the fact that several prominent Repubi
cans happened to be here together yester
day is purely accidental, so far as know.

For the Week Ending May 81.
U. s. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE,

Weather Bureau.
Bulletin No. 3.-The weather conditions
for the week ending Monday night could
not be considered favorable for the ad-
vancement Of crops.
The temperature averaged little
above the normal and little or no rainfall
occurred. The most unfavorable feature
was the occurrence of warm dry winds
While these winds we're not severe and did
not cause any noticeable damage, yet, &C.
companied as they we're, by deficiency
in rainfall, they retarded the growth OF
crops.
The deficiency in rainfall is beginning
to be felt on the cattle ranges. The feed
is fairly good at present but is making
very little growth in most localities.
The following extracts from the weekly
reports of observers will be found Of
interest;
Las Cruoes-"With the exception oil
some high winds, conditions have been
favorable. Rain would be beneficial to
the growth of grass, grain and vegetables
