TWO % ou1 agricultural contemporaries

Wagon Mound is becoming quite a
wool center. About million pounds
of wool was handled there this season,
Bond Bros. alone having bought and
sold over 5000 sacks of the fleecy staple,
averaging about 225 pounds each. Mr..
Roybal says the people in that section
are doing well.
The Wagon Mound school district is
about ready to issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000, the proceeds of which
will be used for the erection of a new

TRIED TO BLOW A SAFE.
The Attempt Was Failure-Other Acts
OF DeviItry.

D.
: The store of A. Well on Bridge street
was entered last night by one or more
amateur safe-blowers and an attempt
was made to get into the safe. The at
tempt was frustrated because of the ig-
norance of the parties making the
trial. e~-
The would, be, safe .lobbers crawled
under the building from the rear of the
structure and forced the loose platform
of the scales in the room occupied by
Thompsons feed store. An archway
connects Mr.. Thompson's place of busi-
ness with that of Mr.. Wiel and having
gotten into the feed store the safe
blowers had in effect secured entrance
20 Mr.. Wells place also. Nm
After knocking off the knob of the
safe door and forcible detsching the
dial, the parties gave up the job and
retired from the building through a
side entrance, When Mr.. Wells clerk
came down eariy this morning he no
ticed the side door standing open and
on looking around found the safe had
been damaged. AS far as learned,
nothing more was disturbed by the
depredators.
Mr.. We'll said this morning that
there was only $40 or 1926 in money In
the safe; as it has been his policy to
carry comparatively little money over
might in his place of business.
1t is not known that other acts of
deviltry committed on the west side
last night had any connection with the
Foregoing or not. 1t was stated this
morning that some one fred shot

for Puerto de Luna. John will take
with him two full-blooded Siberian
wolf hounds, presented to him by j. G..
Massie of Ft. Logan, Colo, who i'm
ported them from Europe some years
ago. Last winter the two hounds men,

Mr.. Massie has no further use for them
In his new location IN Colorado, he gave
them to Mr. Carroll, knowing that they
would be in good hands and be useful
in their new home. Although large

-Tunner Talks Tartiv.

LONDON, August 1S.-Sir Charles.
Tupper, formerly Canadian high COM
missioner, in an interview with a rep
resentative of the associated press. to-
day said:
"The United States is. purposely de-
laying settlement of the Alaskan dis
pute on account of the pecnniary bene-
fit accruing to the miners ana coast
cities through thedelay and has refused
to have the boundary delimItiated, as is
beng done in Venezuela. No settler
ment ever could be reached through
the uneyen-sided commission suggested
by the United States. We have no in
tention of resuming negotiations In re-
gard to matters pending between Cana
da and America until the Alaskan ques-
ton is settled. I propose that a British
railroad be built from Kitimata to Daw-
son and law be passed allowing only
Britishers to mine on the Yukons The
moment this is done the subject of the
United States preventing settlement
disappears. The dominion is a unit in
supporting Sir Wilifred Laurier's
stand" .A&at- z

SCHooro OF MINES.
Tae Director in Charge Tells OF Some OF
It's Advantages.

f. A. Jones, director of the school of
mines at Socorro. was in town today
and gave THE Optic Office a pleasant
call. While here Mr.. Jones paid his
respects to Governor Otero and also
prospected for future pupils for his in
stitution.
Mr.. Jones is rightfuliy enthusiastic
over the openings that await graduates
from bis institution. He cited numer-
Gus instances where the graduates
stepped into positions paying from Slo0
to $500 per month. The school is equip
ped with one of the best laboratories in
the United States, where the various
processes of refining and smelling
precious ores are fully exemplified. The
students are given opportunity for
much practical work, so they are not
lacking in this regard on going out into
the world.
Mr.. Jones expects that students from
New York, New Jersey, Missouri, Kah-
sas, California and other states will en-
ter the institution at the beginning of
the fall term on September IL. He says
that if regular reduction works were
established at the school. the latter
would be almost self supporting, but
the board of trustees hesitate to take
this step, as the policy of the school is
to keep out of debt.
The climatic attractions of Socorro are
the finest aud the mines in the vicinity
furnish practical field for the efforts
OF the pupils.

BREEDING FINE SHEEP.
Proposed to Furnish New Mexico With a
Desirable Class Of Stock.

The Llano Sheep company, whose
ranch is located ten miles west Of Puer-
to de Luna, Guadalupe county, end
probably eighty miles south of Las We
gas, are making arrangements SO that
they will be able to furnish wool grow
ers of New Mexico with q class of high
grade bucks especially adapted to the
needs Of the territory.
2 John carroll, manager for the CON-
pany, has just received from ]. g. Mas
sic. noted sheep breeder Of Ft. Logan,
Colo. a shipment of 125 thoroughbred
French MeTino bucks, which have been
unloaded at this place and~are now be-
ing driven to their destination at the
ranch, They will probably take a
month in making thetrip and will ar
rive in the best kind of condition. The
bucks that have been thus secured were
bred by Mr.. Massie with sthe greatest
care. Mr.. Massie has acquired the rep
utation of being one of the very lest
breeders in the United States. His
stock was selected with the utmost care
from the flocks owned. by Baron Won
Hemyer, Germany's greatest bret der
aud competition, of the French breeding
farm at Rambouelet. The descer dants
of these importatIons are the incest and
finest lot that probably has ever been
brought into New Mexico. 1t is pro-
posed to breed them to the d. laine
sheep now owned by the Llano sheep
company.
A word about the-flocks of the 81 eep
company is eminently proper. The
company succeeded to the businets of
W. L, Crockett, who is Dow a resic ent
of Las Vegas, ,>Mr. Crockett1mproved
and strengthened the blood of his etc ok
until it became the best, probably, in
the territory. The sheep give an aver
age of eleven pounds of fleece at
shearing. The best Delalne sheep
In Pennsylvania and Ohio were secure d
by Mr.. Crockett.
It is obvious that the cross propose d
to be made between the French Merino
bucks and the Delaine ewes will pro-
duce q special strain of blood, emf
nently desirable for New Mexico wool
growers to breed from. The French
Merinos are good herders and make
large, desirable mutton sheep and are
noted as well for their wool.
j. G. Massie, from whom the Merino
bucks were secured, originally located
ia Wyoming, moving later to the Ft.
Logan vicinity. In addition to the
French Merinos, he is careful reeder

A Church Is DESTROYED.

CINCINNATI, August 19.-St. Paul's
German Catholic church was burned to-
day and several adjoining buildings
we're damaged. The total loss is estiA
mated at $l20000. The church was
being remodeled and the fire started
from the supplies of the workmen.
The church was full of scaffolding,
which assisted in the rapid spreading
of the flames. None of the rich altar
appointments were saved. A stained
window glass, secured in 1890, at cost
of $4,000 and took first premium, at the
worlds fair, was destroyed. ihe chimes
were also very valuable. The alarm of
fire was given just after mass at a
funeral. Firemen Charles o. Brien, ben
mis- Doherty and Peter Purcell were
badly injured by falling debris.

The Denver Republican yesterday
stated that the new Thirty-fourth regi-

to its full capacity. but has in addition
155 attached men who soon will be as
signed TO the Thirty-tifth regiment

couver Barracks, near Portland, Ore
Battalion No. 1 was only this week
equipped with guns but it Is said the
easy manner in which the recruits car
red their pieces, and their soldierly ap-
pearance was remarked by everyons.
Other companies have been devoting
their attention to target practice and
every detail looking to campaign work
has been brought to the front in the
work of drilling the recruits.
The order of the secretary of war
comes little sooner than was antici-
pated but will doubtless find the soldier
boys in excellent humor of obeying it.

IT. d. Bowman. member of the
board of regents Of the Agricultural
Collegeaat Mesilla Park and receiver of
the United States Hard office at Las
Cruces, was in town today, returning
this afternoon to MS home. Mr.. Bow
man was in Albuquerque yesterday and
stated that when he left there at 7:SO
in the evening the San Felipe hotel was
burned to the ground.
"rhe building burned furiousIy,' he
said, "seing as dry as tinder and from
all accounts there vas an insufficient
water pressure. The new manager of
the house was to have taken charge to-
day and it,was to have been thrown
open to the public on the first of the
month"; s~'
From other sources itis learned that
che probability of the Santa Fe road
building railroad hotel at Albuauer-
que has been greatly INCREASED. The
road had entered into contract with
the hotel people not to make such an
improvement. but inasmuch as the San
Felipe has burned down the chances
are that all parties interested will con-
slider the contract as cancelled.

News and Notes,


The sentiment against the sale of
poor seed is growing.
The department of agriculture is said
to be engaged in the attempt to impart
to Connecticut tobacco the flavor and
aroma of Cuban or Florida leaf
through improved methods of fermen-
tation.
The phrase "tillage is manure" may
be classed as one of the ''half truths -
From recent experiments it appears
that the reason tillage seems to be
manure is that it enables the plant to
utilize completely the fertility that is
in the soil, particularly potash and
phosphoric acid, but if this process is
ton of any kind of manure it will rem
der the land hopelessly barren
Boston market or white seeded ten
MS ball is a popular lettuce for fore
ing.
AS soon as onion bulbs attain full
size and the tops turn brown they
should be pulled, thrown into windows
and allowed to cure for ten or more
days, or if there is danger from rain
the curing should be done in open
sheds or on the barn floor. Excess OF
either sunshine or rain is likely to in,
lure the bulbs. The most common
processes of wintering the onions are
freezing the bulbs and keeping them in
this state all the winter and storing
them in dry apartments where the tenn
perature can be maintained just above
the freezing point.
