AN OLD LANDMARK. The old
adobe building on Center street, torn
down this week in order to be replaced
by brick business and office building,
was one of the old landmarks of the
city. The adobe bricks were as firm
and as perfect as the day on which
they were placed in the wall, over
twenty-five years ago. The single
roof was in an excellent stage of pres
ervation. The shingles were made a
quarter of a century ago by the hand
process and cost nice little sum of
money, being freighted in from Mari
copa. DR.. Stroud, the present owner
of the property, will erect a handsome
two-story building, 1OOx25 feet in di-
mension.

night, is a member of the faculty of

valley for several weeks, during which
time he will assist Professor Nc
Claiche in making an investigation
into the nature and variety of the bugs
and insects that play havoc with the
fruit interests of the valley. His re-
search will also doubtless prove of
benefit to New Mexico, as the same
conditions prevail to some extent there
as well as here. Professor Cockerell
accompanied Professor McClatchie to
the experimental farm near this city
Saturday and inspected the fruit trees
OIL that tract.
