THE LEHIGH STRTH II.

Begin an Inve8tigation.

ST PAUL. MINI, May 1i.-At their
session this morning the Brotherhood or
Locomotive Engineers began an investl-
cation Of the Lehigh strike. 1t will be re-
membered that the strike was settled
through the intervention Of the State
Board Of Arbitration of New York and
New Jersey. Il was a strike declared upon
the vote Of Federated employees of the line
with the sanction of the chiefs Of the
five brotherhoods, but. as in all such
cases, some dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed. The matter was left for invesu-
cation on the part of the grand body In
order to bring out any irregularities which
might have contributed TO inharmony.
The committee of engineers officiating
during the strike is represented here, and
the cormittee of the whole is getting at
the facts by questioning the committee
closely. but thus far the testimony has
revealed nothing which might be con-
strued as being against the peace and
dignity Of the Brotherhood.

Apiary Profits in the Rocky Ford
Region.

Last year Andy Nichols, just
east of town had 72 colonies of
bees, under the management of j.
B. Cotton, an experienced bee
man. During the the year Mr..
Cotton gathered from the apiary
an average of 274 pounds of honey
for each colony. Mr.. Nichols por-
tion was mostly sold in the comb
at from IL to Is cts. per pound. Mr..
Cotton sold his share strained at
an average of about IL cents per
pound. From the above figures
it will be seen that the profits OF
bee keeping in the Arkansas val
ley are such as to commend it to
farmers as an important adjunct
to their business. The great
acreage of alfalfa which beauties
all portions of the valley will
justify a large increase in the
apairy interests Of Otero County.

Artesian Well Prospects,

John Hess leased q section of
state land in the Sunilower valley
about five miles south of Lamar
recently. He started to bore for
water for his stock and when
down to depth of one hundred
feet struck fine flow of artesian
water. This is the nearest the
surface that an artesian flow has
been struck, and it spoils all the
theories heretofore held with re-
gard to the course and lay of the
artesian BASIN. 1t now looks like
any man may strike or miss it.
Our advise is to throw up wet or
dry before commencing work
Lamar Register.
The above indicates that Rocky
Ford's chances for obtaining
artesian water are much better
than heretofore supposed. Water
being found at Lamar at the depth
of 100 feet is great encourage
ment to the Rocky Ford committee
to proceed with their work at the
earliest practicable date. We be-
lieve the committee has done lit
tie yet beyond securing the list of
tax payers from which to solicit
funds, but will undoubtedly move
actively at an early day.
