THE special session mot yesterday and

The special session mot yesterday and
received the governors message. The
message presents arguments for holding
Legislative sessions annually, rather than
biennially, and then discusses the follow
ing among other topics: Municipal bonds;
county and municipal warrants; irriga-
ton laws; coal monopoly; amendment Of
the Australian ballot; women voters; re-
duction of delinquent tax penalties; the
local bills of last session; free coinage Of
silver-state remedy; the proposition to
make contracts to be paid in gold Illegal;
the general governments war on silver;
the ruined condition Of silver mining in
Colorado. The chances for an immediate
adjournment do not seem to be 80 good
as the many friends Of that course have
supposed. At this writing it is quite un-
certain what will be done. While the
senate is two to one against the extra
session, the house voted q to SO on a
motion to adjourn sine die. The outlook
is that long and wrangling session may
affict the state. 'a

Otero County's Fat Stock Interests.

Metropolitan papers often make sport
Of the word alfalfa, using it as synonym
for alleged country verdancy. But 40
acre field of we'll set alfalfa is worth
more than the average gold mine, some
of which float handsome stock certificate
to the extent Of 100000. The nutritious
qualities OF alfalfa are surprising. It
combines in its rlch elements the fatten-
ing qualities OF both Kansas hay and corn.
Consequently nothing but superior alfal-
IA is needed to put cattle in the very best
Of condition for the eastern markets.. Only
a few years ago this valley was black
with buffalo rolling in fatness on the
native grasses. Their places have been
filed by thousands Of cattle, which are
now putting on roundness of body and
plumpness OF tender hesh which will
make them priced by the butchers of
Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago.
The extent to which feeding is being car
ried on in Otero county is not compre-
hended by many OF our own citizens.
We have recently been gathering statis-
tics as to the number Of cattle now being
fed in Otero county, and submit the
same to our readers. Most of the fol-
lowing figures have been obtained from
w. E. Anderson, Of the Otero County
Exchange, who has for several years been
active in promoting the extension of feed
ing in the valley. We begin the enum-
Grafton at the western end of the county,
and give the number Of cattle being fed
by the various ranchmeu. The cattle
are mostly two, three and fOur.years-
old. We give the post-ofice Of the ranch
men and the number OF cattle being fed:

Grand Valleys Entertainment.

A Christmas tree bloomed for the
children Of the Grand Valley Sunday
school on Saturday, and bore crop OF
fruit which was harvested the same even
ing. The house was full, every space
was occupied. The Sunday school has
been prosperous under the superintend-
ance Of Mrs. Geo. Egbert, and the chill
dren were out in full force to take part
in the most glsdsome festival of the year.
The program consisted of recitations,
class exercises and dialogues, lasting
three hours. The exercises were under
the personal direction Of Mrs. Egbert.
The recitations by Miss Thompson, Mr..
Quinn and Miss HUFF deserve great cred
it. The dialogue, "The Fortune Teller"
by Miss Minnie Egbert and Miss White
was very good indeed. fortunes Mis-
take" by Misses Barton, Thompson,
Williams, Bell, Egbert and Mr.. Partner,
was well liked. The little piece in the
Swedish Language by little girl only
years old was excellent, and many other
portions of the program were good.
Not the least enjoyed event of the ev-
ening was the well-merited gift from the
Sunday school to the superintendent, a
solid silver butter dish, an event enjoyed
by the donors us we'll as by Mrs. Egbert.
It will be kind token of remembrance
for years to come, for which she tenders
her sincere thanks to the school. The
closing song by Minnie Egbert and Mr..
Harley, "Good Night" was very fine.
The two classes were drilled by Mrs. Nc
Connell and Mrs. johnson, who did the
work well.

NOTWITHSTANDING the panicy times
Rocky Ford is being visited by parties
desiring to buy farms. They are wise in
this and we hope that our real estate
owners will meet them half way as to
prices. Don't put fancy figures on either
wild or improved lands. Most of you
have much more land than you should
have. Sell off three-quarters Of it and
use the money to do high-grade farming
on the remainder. The highest prosper
ity of the Arkansas valley is contingent
on a large proportion Of small farms.

sired facts. And that is only cne branch
Of agriculture which is prospering in the
