WHICH SHALL RULEa
Power Dam and People-Which Is
the SuperiorP

The case of John Seaman VS.. the
county commissioners, came on for
hearing yesterday before Judge lilies.
LIE Grand Young appeared for the
Power company, A. ]. Weber for the
commissioners and H. H. Henderson
for certain taxpayers who favor the
building of the roads at the county s
expense. Intense feeling and interest
was manifested in the case, the court
room being crowded all day with men
over half of whom were from outside
precincts.
At the outset lie Grand Young sub
mitted a demurrer to the complaint,
and it was to this that arguments of
yesterday were devoted.
Mr.. Young opened, arguing that the
demurrer should be sustained on pure
~ technical grounds. Not once did
he discourse as to the merits of the
case, but his legal plea was an able
one. The demurrer should be granted
because Injunction was not the proper
form of relief. There was as yet no
mission for an injunction. The tax
payers were not to be injured by the
making of a contract by the commits
sioners. II the commissioners should
exceed their authority then there would
be time for an injunction to be served
when such a contract was sought TO be
carried out. When the treasurer Shc'Ld
attempt to pay warrants for such con-
tract work, then he could be en1olned
provided the contract were not legal.
Thus, if there was no harm being
done there was no wrong for an in
junction to right and if there was
wrong apt to result then there was yet
a proper time TO right that wrong by
injunction.
He also cited numerous authorities,
and further objected 20 the complaint
because it was not specific
Mr. Evans followed in an argument
lasting nearly three hours. For the
purposes of the demurrer the defend
ants had been obliged to admit every
allegation in the complaint. He re-
viewed the complaint from beginning
to end taking up each allegation, terse-
ly explaining it and commenting rather
severely on the contention that no
present redress for such a wrong ex-
listed. He read numerous authorities.
Particular stress was laid upon that
part of the complaint which charged
Commissioner Wade with being in the
employ of the Power company and of
conspiring with Child and Wilson to
expend $4,000 worth of county funds
for private individuals.
Mr. Evans concluded about o'clock
and was followed by H. II. Henderson,
and thereafter, briefly, by LIE Grand
Young.
Judge Hiles said as it was so near
closing time he would reserve decision
until this morning at $3.50.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Professor Milton Whitney, United
States soil moisture expert, says:
Wherever drop of rain water flows
! off of the plowed field, it is an indica-
ton that the soil is not in a proper
physical condition. Where this
occurs in dry soil, the main
preparation of the soil should
be as deep as possible, so that
water may be carried down and thus
diminish the rapidity of the evapora-
ton and loss from the surface Sub
soiling will be found invaluable in
opening up the close and compact sub
soil A farmer can tell whether his
soil needs subsoiling by noticing
whether any water flows off of the
surface of his plowed fields or not"
With winter starting in early we are
apt to have long season for planning
next years work.
For good results in egg production,
the henhouse during the winter should
not be allowed to become colder than
40 degrees.
Keep The young stock in high condi-
ton at this time They will have
enough to endure if they begin the
winter "as fat as beeves."
In dairying. as in all other occupa-
I tons, as soon as we cease to bend all
our energies to achieve higher success
we begin to lose ground-not because
we go back but because others pass US
in the race.
Make the farm work as light and
pleasant as possible TO the young folks
Remember that they cannot see the
work from the same point as do their
elders. Routine work Is tiresome TO
/ young or old in any calling. In many
ways can the monotony be avoided.
Go a little out of the way this fall to
overhaul the machinery in general; see
! that it is we'll cleaned and well oiled

| If you are not proud that you are an
/ honest tiller of the soil, sell out and
carry the hoe. Better be successful at
| that than worry your life away on a

| There never was a successful farmer
who did not love his business. Any
work becomes drudgery which we do
not like.
| The more value there is in product,
the less per cent in cost of transpor.a-

wheat 1000 miles costs about 20 cents;
as much in potatoes. 40 cents; butter. 5
cents; eggs, about the same, or little
more. The only salvation for the
American farmer Il the future is to
condense the farm products into more
refined forms and of higher values.

LEVERS in such bimetallism in
New Mexico to attend our pri-
maries and act with the democrat
ic party in striving to attain this
great relief to the common people.
Resolved, That it is the earnest
desire of this committee that New
Mexico be admitted to the Union
at the earliest practical moment,
and that we pledge our unquali-
fed support and bespeak the sup.
port of the democratic party OF
this Territory to any just measure
looking to that end; believing thai
the interests of all the people OF
the territory would be advanced
thereby.

cATR0N's ANrl.PRIzR FIGHTING
BILL.


Washington, Feb. BIN the
house today Delegate Catron Of
New Mexico introduced a bill TO
prevent the pueilistic festival TAX
ing place near Ell Paso.
The bill makes fighting a misde-
meanor, punishable by imprison-
ment for not less than FIVE years.
Mr.. Catron asked for unsni-
nous consent for consideration Of
the bill, but Knox republican,
Massachusetts) objected and il
was referred.
Later the objection was with
drawn and the house passed Cat
ron's anti-prize fighting bill with
out division.
Following is the full text Of the
bill as it passed the house:
"That any person who, in any
Of the territories, or the District
of Columbia, shall voluntarily en-
gage in a pugllistic encounter, be-
tween man and man, or a fight be-
tween man and bull, or any other
animal, for money, or for other
things of value, or for any cham
pionship, or upon the result Of
which any money or anything of
value is bet or wagered, or to
which any admission fee charged,
either directly or indirectly shall
be deemed guilty of felony and
upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
penitentisry for not less than one
year, nor more than FIVE years.
"By the term, 'pugilistic encoun-
ter as used in this bill, is meant
any voluntary fight by blows, by
means of fists or otherwise, wheth-
er with or without gloves, be-
tween two or more men, for money
or for a prize of any character, or
for any other thing of value, or
for any championship, or upon the
result of which any money IT any
thing of value is bet or wagered,
or to see which any admission fee
is charged, either directly or indi-
rectly.
Mr.. Catron, the delegate from
New Mexico, in a speech this af-
ternoon expressed the opinion that
the Governor of New Mexico could
have stopped the fights if he had
been 80 disposed.
This bill will compel him to
stop them. The bill will probably
be delayed in the senate by refer
ence, and reports of the commit
tee, but will no doubt pass in time
to stop the Ell Paso fights.

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

There is a theory that advertis-
ing pays There are facts which
prove the theory true.
AL men who advertise are moi
successful, but, with rare excep-
tions, all successful men have
been advertisers. Advertising is
the greatest of all modern engines
for facilitating business. Beside
it the telegraph, the telephone,
the locomotive and steamboat are
dwarfed. If it were not for adj
vertising, these would not be used.
Business would not be Of sufficient
volume to justify their employ
ment.
The man in Chicago advertises,
and the man in st. Louis buys
by telegraph, perhaps-and has
his purchase delivered by the To-
connective. But the advertising
came first. 1t always does.
It conveys information, and an
invitation to buy at the same
time.
An advertisement in a paper
like the SOUTHWEST SENTINEL
places this information befor,
hundreds of buyers, either pres
emit or prospective. Count the
cost Of a suitable advertisement.
against the possible number o.
those who will need some specia
thing on any day. The chances
will always be found on the sid,
of the probability of the adver
tisement.
Nine times in ten a good ad
will bring moro than enough il
direct profit to pay for itself
leaving its great cumulative valu,
clear gain. Half the time a gooC
ad. will pay an actual direct profit
but to do this, it must be CAREFUL,
tended. Treat the newspaper fair
ly, and it will pay every time.
