Last week hay was cut in the

The wheat crop of Socorro is
the largest ever known, and is

orchard in Chaves county within

The Albuquerque papers in
their efforts to be polite, sometimes
get things a little mixed. The
Democrat in speaking of our es-
teemed district clerk says:
L. w. Lenoir, the Las Cruces,
n. NJ, merchant, is in town on
business.
The Santa Fe Republican says:
A little crowd Of politicians were
gathered discussing the situation

Fe was telling how nearly all the
Offices in New Mexico under the
present administration we're held
by Missourians. He went through
the long list and then Mr.. Lin

According to the Citizen Victor
u. Ochoa, the Mexican revolution
list, has been in hiding in Albu-
querque for several days. Remem-
bering that there is a reward of
$4,000 for his capture and delivery
to the Mexican government the
detectives and minions Of the law
are trifle out Of sorts to think
they should learn of his presence
only after he had departed for
more congenial climes.-Optic cor

Some specimens Of gramma
grass were brought to town to-day
which must have been over two
feet in length. This has been long
acknowledged as the most nutri-

season and this have shown what
it will do with plenty of water. The
crops of hay last year have
demonstrated that with plenty of
water the crop is increased in guam
tity and the quality is not abated.
Gramma grass is doubtless
destined to prove a very profitable
domestic crop in this section. n.-Optic
The Albuquerque Citizen says
some very pleasant things about
this town. Among others il saws:
Though we'll named by that
seductive and musical word,
Silver City, It tells moth
ing of the great mines Of gold
and other metals that in these
times Of dishouored silver are the
maiustay aud backbone of this dis
trict today BY that bulldog tenaci-
ty and courage which characterize
the pioneers Of the west and never
say die, the miners of this district
have temporarily turned their ge-

ia to be congratulated on holding
her place as one Of the best towns
in New Mexico.

following account Of the sad end
ing Of Elmore Price, formerly of
this city and the stepson Of Mrs.
