A BOX FULL OF BOYS.
An Immigrant Who Brings His Boys
as Live Stock-New Settlers in
the PecOs Country.

Eddy Argus: W. G. Reiff was down
from Hagerman yesterday. He states
that last week three families, Messrs
Mos, Barron and Coe arrived from near
Omaha where they have valuable prop
erty. Messrs. Mos and Barron brought
two carloads of household and farm
goods and are going to buy land. At
present they are living in tents. As
there was livestock in one of the cars one
of the men was privileged to ride free
therein. He had lot of boys of passen-
ger age, so he devised a scheme for brig
ing them in as live stock. An empty or
gan box was put into the car and five
boys made it a hiding place whenever
train employees entered the freight car.
The cargo came through without detec-
tion. The wives and daughters came
by passenger train. There are eleven
children in the two families. The schol-
astic population has thus been increased
sufficiently and papers have beer pre-
pared to secure public school id That
precinct at once.
Land Commissioner Roesler and his as
sistants have been pretty busy this
winter attending to correspondence,
showing the country to land seekers and
attending to sales made. A visit to his
Office yesterday showed that steady de-
mand now exists for Pecos valley land.
Exhibiting large tabulated sheet, he
said: "Here is list Of visitors who took
thirty day options on land and were un-
able to make their arrangements to come
back. Some of them we will hear from
later, and many not at all. The sales, it
completed, would have run up to great
many thousands of dollars.
"Here Is another sheet showing twenty
five or thirty tracts, on which options ex-
listed on the first day of this month.
Some of these have been closed and the
money paid, but the acreage reserved is
greater now than when the sheet was
made up. Here is sheet showing recent
sales, upon which money has been paid"
The Argus was permitted to copy this
list, and here reproduces it because but
few of the purchasers have been noted
heretofore. Some of the buyers have
already brought out their families, house
hold goods, farm stock and implements,
while nearly all expect to be residents of
the valley at an early date. The names
