him that artesian water was there and
then he abandoned il for some pur-

THE idea OF securing artesian wat
or, however, has not been abandoned
by those interested In the development
OF this portion of the country. There

earth with a view to securing this val
liable water and take my word for IL
they will be successful in securing the
treasure which they seek. That the
water Is there | am positive from Mr..

"When / took my bag and baggage
into the Sacramento mountains thir-
teen years ago IL was certainly a
desolate looking point. The land
which | tooh up was one mass of
shrubbery, stumps and trees. | went
to work clearing IL and succeeded after
many months of the hardest kind of
labor. Though | encountered many
difficulties in the task OF preparing the
land for vegetation / never became dis
coursged. | knew the soil was there
and that il must be cleared before be-
ing planted. | did clear the land 4,

pare another claim for cultivation but
there is plenty OF land for someone to

400, 900 acres of government lands in

there will be great rush in this direc-

GREAT FUTURE.
A Talk With An Old Timer About
Alamogordo And Vicinity.

III. kimberlin, who came to the ter
ritory OF New Mexico in 1856. says
that he is more satisfied now than
ever tina. the country surrounding
Alamogordo is going to be the most
productive region in the southwest.
The reporter met Mr.. Kimberlin in La
Luz and in the course OF an interview
he said: II have lived in this vicinity
for the past l3 years aud find it to
possess the best vegetable soil l have
ever had any experience with. / have
Just sold II farm in the Sacramentos

this talk about railroad coming in

myself believe that the road was com
ing through this section but L could
not and the consequence was | sold my
ranch.
"You see prior to the present railroad
facilities we folks in the mountain had

many time from here to FL Paso
with "a wagon load of provisions and |
assure you 1t was long and lonesome
ride. | was well paid for my trouble
though for I received the best of prices
for my goods, but after selling my en-
tire wagon load then came the long
ride back to- my ranch in the Sacra-
mentos. Just became disgusted with
this condition Of affairs and one day a
gentleman offered me a good price for
my place and foolishly accepted at
his offer without giving due consider
alton to the future prospects OF the
place.
III want to make a statement here
which / will swear to-" continued Mr..
Kimberlin, earnestly. II raised on
that ranch, one year, four acres of
Irish potatoes and realized $4,000 an
acre, clear profit. On the four acres /
raked in cold cash to the amount OF
$4,000 and was we'll satisfied. You
can raise most any thing on this land
that any of the Central States produce,
peaches, grapes, plums, prunes, apples,
etc, etc. When l left the place was
experimenting with English walnuts.
| am as we'll satisfied that English wal
nuts can be raised there as / am that
apples have been. The soil in my es-
tlmation, is particularly adapted to
that kind of cultivation and can't un-
derstand why some of these ranchers do
not experiment in that line"
When asked regarding the supply OF
water possible to obtain In the vicinity
OF Alamogordo Mr.. Kimberlin said:
THAT is another point | wish to speak
about. In the mountain of course we
have plenty of rain and spring water,
but down here IL is necessary to dig for
IL, like all other portions OF the low
country. You strike fairly good water
at n depth of ten feet, and from that on
TO 90. 20, and 50 feet good water and
plenty of It is obtained. At a depth of
500 feet you will strike artesian water.

Care of the Hands.

This is the season when a woman
with ugly bands feels this defect with
unusual keeuness. There is no excuse
tractive hands, no matter how badly
nature has shaped them, if she keeps
them we'll. She must do this if she
goes gloveless, and many women do so
nowadays, particularly athletic girls
Kate Egg lesion, in an article on "Phy-
steal Culture for Girls." in speaking of
the hands, says:
"The fact that the hand looks
shapelier and more graceful when the
middle and third fingers are slightly
curved In and away from the index and
little fingers is shown by the models in
the glove store windows, and while it
is atfectation to hold the hands in such
a position, yet, this exercise to make
the pose natural, should be practiced
''Some one has said somewhere that
the number of cultured generations
back of an individual may be Judged
by the degree of curve in the little fin
ger. Observation will prove this more
or less true. When one sees a person
holding q glass or cup with the little
finger thrust out and curved until it
resembles q hook, little investiga-
ton will almost invariably show that
awakened in that particular family,
and in it's newness is somewhat over
stepping the mark. Alteration is q
sign of lack of breeding,
''Some of the old painters understood
hands to perfection. Long, rounded
hands, with slightly curved fingers
and gently bent wrists. are character
istic of the women whose beauty they
have made memorable. Sometimes,
perhaps, the beautiful hands were
those of some other model than the
pictured one, but the painters knew
that beautiful hands were as necessary
as beautiful faces to make q harmo-
niousipicture.
1.-THE people OF almost every other
nation have more graceful hands than
we have, and those who use their
hands most freely when conversing are
by far the most graceful. The hands
that make no superfluous movements,
which appear to obey readily and east
ly their owners will, whose movements
are free, rhythmic and gentle, are the
really graceful Ones".

Two Pointed Questions Answero,l,

What is the use OF making Il better ar
ticle than your competitor ii you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better.
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much greater
i'll the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very quick
ly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
