Respectfully.
Z. S. BERTRAM.


At the convention the delegates
gathered without an announced can
didate and it was some time before an
agreement could be reached to nomi-
nate candidate. After discussing
the matter it was the general opinion
Of those present that in THE office Of
judgeship there should be no politics,
and as Judge Moore, the present in
cumbent, had presided on the bench
that the past four years in most ac-
ceptable, non-partisan manner, that
it might be well for the convention
not to make a nomination. But a
committee was appointed to select a
candidate and Judge Nicholson was
nominated, without his consent. Al.
ter the nomination was made we
were in hopes that the Judge would
make the race, for he was certainly
the strongest man that could have
been nominated, but as he has seen
fit TO decline we now believe that 1t
will be for the best interest Of all
concerned not to make any further
nomination.
1t is an undisputed fact that Judge
Moore has been an upright and fair
Judge, and is broad minded and
conscientious man, and is much
stronger with the voters in the dis
trict now than he was four years ago.
We do not believe it would be good
politics to make a nomination Just
for the sake of filling the ticket, for
to nominate a man who would not
make an active campaign and give
dignity to the two parties would GER
tainly do US more harm than good.
Therefore II there is not an able and
strong Democrat or Populist asking
for the nomination then let no furth.
er action be taken.

dozen warm personal friends, active
enterprising business men who realize
the Importance of an active mining
camp at the door of Ell Paso, as a feed

pose to do their part to help bring it
about. Our company was formed and
our ground secured that we might

shows confidence and will prove va
luable aid in the future in helping to

it we endorse and approve of the Eddy

HARVESTING THE CANYON.
Investigating Project for Develop.
inc Electric Power.

s. Osburne, of Kansas City. who was
In town a few days ago, is now at the
Grand canyon. He worked quietly
while here and the nature of his visit
has just been : discovered, says the
Phoenix Republican. He represents
poses to develop power from the falls
at the Grand canyon. Mr.. Osburne is
now Investigating the feasibility OF
the project and he will soon take q
party of surveyors there. Hts return
here is expected in a few days.
The plans are to utilize q part of
the power for an electric railway
which will run along the rim of the
canyon. This scheme has been talked
sidered practical but there was no
chance for it to be profitable without
q railroad. Now that the railroad is
being built there is no doubt that soon-
er or later large electrical plant will
be established at the falls.
Until within the past few months
Mr.. Orburne has been q government
surveyor and his work led him to
Canada With a small party he was
making line about 500 miles beyond
Hudson Bay eompany's farthermost
river. The party made gold discov-
cry that sounds very interesting. They
say they did not know anything about
mining, but they could not mistake the
fact that they had discovered gold. A
number of nuggets we're found in a
small radius and the Indians informed
them that there was more around
there, but they did not know its value
and had never taken any of it.
The surveyors had no pans
or appliances to work the
gold, so they concluded to return, or
ganize q party and go back some other
time. Mr.. Osburne brought with him
some nuggets worth about 81. 800. One
of the nuggets is nearly two inches in
diameter, with thin sheet of quartz
cutting through the center.

CULTIVATION NECESSARY.
The Importance of Orchard Tlllage

The Las Cruces irrigation ditch has
been dry since June 3, and already

effects of the dry weather. Since the

been made'to keep fine dust-cover Oh

| The orch ard is gone over with the

stirring of the surface soil not only
makes as perfect q mulch rs ia pOssibl

it prevents weed growth. The dust

The Importance of orchard tillage is
here emphasized because in the mani

most apt to be neglected. Deep tillaRe
