FRUIT SHIPM ENTS.
A Practical Orchardist Analysizes the
Santa Fe Situation-Express
Companies Policy.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, Sept. 16.-Sir: Your re-
mark in Saturdays issue about a
boom in the fruit business in Santa Fe
and that Mr.. Boyle is shipping $50 pounds
of pears daily, gives very erroneous i'm
preston. The fact is am shipping and
doing my very best to fill standing or
der for 1900 pounds daily, and was
obliged two weeks ago to refuse an order
for $4,000 pounds of pears per week for
the rest of the season. This latter order
WAS offered after receiving sample OF
500 pounds of pears from my orchard
There is large quantity of fruit in Santa
Fe but the gardens and orchards are too
small and too scattered for it to be han
died at a profit with the present low
prices in the only markets within reach
The greatest drawback is the enormous
rate charged by the express companies
There is not one-Gfth of the fruit shipped
out of Santa Fe that might be sold if the
express charges were more reasonable,
The experience of growers this year has
been in several instances that the express
rate of $3.50 per 100 pounds has not only
taken all the proceeds of the sales but
has left a deficit SO that the shipper has
lost his fruit, his boxes and his labor, and
remained in debt. Until these heavy
charges for transportation are reduced
the fruit business can not thrive. Larger
orchards and more of them would bring
about this change sooner than anything
else. Shipments by the car load and by
the train load would find ready market
at more distant centers of population,
where our fruit is already known and has
the highest reputation. l have been writ
ten to for quantities of apples by the
train load from Minneapolis and further
east, smaller quantities not wanted, and
do not hesitate to say that we shall ex-
perience real boom just az soon az we
are able to fill all the orders for fruit
which are offered to us. ARTHUR BOYLE.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

Remember the regular meeting of tn.
city council at 1880 this evening.
Miss Petrita Gutierrez and Mr.. Nicolas
Gonzales we're united in marriage at the
cathedral at $3.50 this morning.
MIR. Rivenburg is to-day packing {
superb display of Santa Fe fruit, of some
$500 pounds, to be sent tonight to rep
resent Santa Fe county at the territorial
fair.
On complaint of the chief of the Santa
/ Clara Puebos, Dolorita Silva, an Indian
woman, was this morning bound over to
the next U. s. grand jury in the sum of
5000 by U. s. Commissioner Pope. The
charge is adultery.
Louis Rocas was, on Thursday, granted
an absolute divorce from Juana Rael
Rocas The testimony was taken before
Mr.. Renehan, special master, and Mr.. W.
H. Pope acted as attorney for Rocas.
The territorial fair literature announced
that the Wells-Fargo Express company
would ship exhibits to Albuquerque at
one-half the regular rate. Relying on
this official statement many exhibitors
have gone to work and prepared ais
plays, but upon going to the express
Office they we're required to pay the full
express rate.
The many ministers who have been in
attendance at the 18th annual conference
of the NJ. E. church closed their labors
yesterday and most of them departed to-
day for their respective homes. Thanks
to Rev. Mr.. Madden this conference was
one of the most successful ever held in
the territory.
A New MEXICAN scribe had the pleasure
of look over the orchards of Mr.. Edward
Miller in Tesuoue valley yesterday. A
marvellous display of fruit it is. Apples,
pears and plums hang from the bending
branches of the trees like clusters of
grapes. Mr.. Miller's fruit harvest this
season will amount to about seven car
loads.
Santa Fe will this year, as usual, send
more visitors to the fair at Albuquerque
than any other community in the terri
tory. Last nights trains on the A., T. &
s. F. took down forty passengers and on
the special car this morning there we're
twenty-five more. All trains leaving to-
night and tomorrow will be crowded
with Santa Feans.

If this estimation be correct, and there
is no reason to doubt it, it will be seen
that 100000 acres put in alfalfa would be
more than sufficient to fatten the 100000
head of steers shipped annually from this
territory, to be grazed and fed in other
localities, and would bring to this terri
tory over $5,0OO,00O in addition to that
now received.
The Pecos irrigating system as now
completed will be able to supply this
acreage, and we are informed that it is
the intention of the promoters, in con-
nection with their other enterprises, to
make it Il great feeding ground for the
range stock.
The waters of the Rio Grande are suf-
ficient to more than quadruple this, while
those of the Cimarron, Red River, Rio
Puerco, Blue Water, Mimbres, Las Animas,
La Plata, San Juan and other streams in
the territory, are sufficient to enable the
reclamation of at least 2,O00,O00 of the
78,000,000 acres contained in the terri
tory.
have no time to refer to the many
other important industries to be promot-
ed as result of this enterprise, as I have
already occupied more time than should
have done.
In conclusion, again wish to extend
to you hearty welcome to the territory
of New Mexico, and to give you the free
dom of the territory during your sojourn
| in our midst.

Ramona Indian School,

Mrs. E. Browns official bond for $780,
600 RS superintendent of Ramona Indian
school was accepted and approved to-day.
Mrs. Brown will now undertake to fill the
school with pupils at once, but her friends
are greatly exercised over the arbitrary
requirement of the Indian Office that only
girls shall be enrolled at this school. 1t
has always been conducted as school
for both boys and girls. It is notorious
fact that it is much more difficult to secure
from Indian parents consent to send girls
alone than to send both sexes, where
brother and sister may be together, and
it is feared Mrs. Brown will be put to an
unreasonable hardship in securing pupils
if the order is not modified. The atten-
ton of the trustees of Within hall is
called to the matter in hopes that they
will lay it before the Indiai. office in its
proper light.

TOM CARBERRY SUICIDES
A Citizen of Golden Does the Act with
RazOr-A Sad Story from
the Mountains.
Correspondence New Mexican.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Golden, Santa Fe Co., Sept. IA, 90
Tom A. Carberry committed suicide at
San Pedro this morning about 4 o'clock,
by cutting his throat with razor. About
$3.50 a. m. Joe Machetta, who lives in the
adjoining house, hearing groans, went to
Carberry's rooms and found him very
sick with cramps in the stomach. Mach
eta gave him dose of "pain- killer" and
went down to consult Mr.. Jaycope, who
has considerable knowledge of medicine.
He was only absent about fifteen minutes.
Upon his return he found Carberry had
cut his throat. Greatly alarmed he ran
to call Jaycopa, and when they returned
together Carberry was gasping his last.
No cause for the rash act Is known, unless
it was poor health.
Tom A. Carberry was citizen of Mary
land, but was born in Bermuda, while his
parents where there or visit. He was a
confederate soldier during the war and
lost leg at the battle of Charlottesville.
He has been resident of this camp for
the past eight years and was respected
by all.
The justice of the peace summoned a
jury and coroner's inquest was held
over the body at 9 "a. III. to day. The
verdict was, suicide by cutting his throat
The remains will be inferred at San
Pedro tomorrow.

south Santa Fe county, in company with
Prof. W. r. Rothwell. The latter took
the train at Cerrillos for Colorado Springs
and will shortly present to the stock
holders an elaborate report on the prop
erty. Mr.. Raunheim feels greatly en-
couraged over the outlook. Hesays there
is more pay ore in sight at the mines
than ever before.
L. A. Goodwin got HON last night
from Winsor's ranch on the upper Pecos,
where he had no difficulty in landing $50
trout per day. Many of them verged on
a pound in weight. A curiosity of the
catch was "silver trout" ten inches
long, probably the first of the kind ever
taken in the upper Pecos. Mr.. Goodwin
says the Santa Fe mountains promise
great sport for deer hunters after October
l. He saw four deer while out on this
trip.

been the principal soprce of revenue to
innate that the arid region will as a
whole, in its natural condition, sustain
one steer for each twenty-five acres of
land. These native ranges furnish the
great breeding grounds for large herds,
and'm ever be principally devoted to
that purpose, but the native grass is
not sufficient to fatten the stock and pre-
pare 1t for market, and during serious
and protracted seasons of drouth great
numbers die from starvation.
In my opinion. the most important
measure to be accomplished at this time
is to provide means here at home to pre-
vent the great suffering to the range ami
mails, and their death from starvation,
and to furnish the food for their fatting.
In the past, the profit of the cattle
business has gone largely to the feeder in
the states, while the breeder has received
q very small portion.
A few moments examination of the
facts will show the magnitude of this
loss. Take as an example, this territory,
which contains an area of over 100000
acres of land, and allow that it will sup
/
and it will sustain 100000 head of cattle,
and of those we should send to the
market at least 100000 per year.
| believe the territory of New Mexico
could be made to send more than this
number. AS matter of fact, from sta
tistics obtained from the railroads and
| others best informed on this sub ject, l
learn that there has been shipped this
year from this territory something over
100000 head of cattle.
Range steers, at three years old, have
been bringing upon an average SIG per
head, while the same cattle bring, few
months later in Chicago and Kansas City,
not less than $50 per head. This, after
allowing S. per head for freight, would
give to the feeder 500 per head for his
labor and feed, all of which would be re-
tanned here, add to the local revenue, and
give employment to our people, if one
half of the flood waters now going to
waste were saved, without interfering
with the other branches of agriculture
and horticulture.
VALUE OF ALFALFA AS FEED.
have made careful inquiry from the
ranchmen OF every county within the ter
ritory relating to the cost of producing
the various kinds of feed for stock and
the quantity to be produced per acre, and
they agree that alfalfa is the most profit
able food to be raised; that the average
yield is about three and one-fourth tons
at cost of Sc per acre for water, Guilt
walton and harvesting. Those who have
had large experience in feeding it to
cattle, and who have made careful esti-
nation of the quantity required to fat
the average steer, and watched the daily
increase in weight, estimate that two and
half tons are sufficient to the
animal, and that the steer will take on
from ITS to 225 pounds in about two and
half months, and would at the present
price bring in Chicago or Kansas City
about cents per pound OF. $50 per head.

sentence COMMITTED.

Some of the Grant county papers are
wrought up over the action of the gov
ernor in the case of Davis, convict
sent to the penitentiary for seven years
for killing a man at Pinos Altos. They
treat the case as if it were full pardon for
the prisoner, which is not the case at all.
His sentence was simply COMMITTED to
five years and three months. This &C.
tion was taken at the earnest solicitation
of many good citizens of Grant county.
The Silver City Eagle says the people of
Pinos Altos acquainted with the facts in
the case approve the action of the e1ecu-
tive.

Pecos valley.
The conception of this great enterprise
reflects honor upon the originator, while
its com pletion in so methodicala manner,
in the face of the great financial crisis
and the many difficulties that confronted
it, speaks volumes for the grit, enterprise
and courage of those who had the work
in hand. There is found great sys-
tenn for storing the flood waters,
undertaken by the Pecos Irrigation
& Improvement company, begun only a
few years ago and we'll nigh completed
during the past year, 80 far as present
operations are concerned, which now
embraces over 1,2OO. miles of mains, canals
water from series of reservoirs. One OF
these just completed and put in service
is worthy of notice. It is the largest
irrigation reservoir Oh the continent. Its
storage capacity Is $4,000 acre feet, a
body of water submerging $500 acres OF
land to depth of fifty feet in places
With the exception of similar reservoir
on the river Periar, in India, with Ca
pacity of 100000 cubic feet, there is no
where the equal of this reservoir, which
stores 100000 cubic feet of water.
The supply for this and other reser.
voirs is obtained by damming the Pecos
river, an unceasing stream fed by the
SHOWS of the Rocky mountains and in
Vulnerable springs that gush forth from
the limestone bed of the stream. By this
method the rains and SHOWS of the great
watershed are saved and utilized wher
needed in dry seasons.

It is conceded fact, that the most en-
thusiastic advocates of irrigation, that
the conditions of the Rocky mountain
regions, are such that only COMPARE
lively small portion of the land can ever
be reclaimed.
A writer in the North Western Magazine
for the month of June last estimates that
"if furrow be run across twenty acre
field the space occupisd by the furrow
would bear about the same relation TO the
whole field, that the area reclaimable by
irrigation bears to the whole of the arid
region"
All who have given this matter any at
tention will agree with me, that this is an
exaggerated statement, and that much
larger portion can be reclaimed.
We must admit, however, that the por-
tion reclaimable is small 40 compared
with the whole, but this is one of the rea.
sons why more care should be given to
the subj and greater effort made to
reclaim all that is practicable.

The amount of these outstanding
