An Example 10 Initiate.

That Otero county is determined to
push to the front is manifested by the
liberal use of printers inks In it's be.
half. Within two days the New Mexican
received three publications that present
the story of the Of Otero coun-
ty in a very creditable, yea sumptuous
manner The Is a midwinter mum
Der of the Alamogordo News, which is
as artistic an edition of a weekly news
paper as has ever been issued in New
Mexico. The is autographed in
glowing colors, and it's twenty-foul
pages within it tell in an interesting
manner of the history, the resources
and the future of Alamogordo, and the
prosperous new county of which it is
the beautiful capital. The number Is
well illustrated with half-tone cuts
which give a good idea of natural beau
ties, and Otero county progressiveness
The Alamogordo Publishing Company
and Editor J.. F. Manning can we'll be
proud of this example of the product OF
the topographic and engraver's art. and
Otero county should be thankful for the
benefits 1t will derive from so splendid
a presentation Of its wealth.
The other publication is an illustrated
pamphlet issued by the Alamogordo I'm.
provement Company. The burden of Its
theme, too, is the beauty and the glory
Of Otero county, with its snowy noun.
tain crests, it's fertile valleys, Its vast
plains. it's undeveloped and developed
mineral wealth, and its ideal location
for homeseekers. The half-tone pic
lures in the pamphlet are very pretty
and will draw many people to Cloud
croft and Alamogordo this summer.
The third publication is the Railway
Age for this week. which devotes con-
siderable space to the Sacramento
mountain railroad. and gives many IL.
Illustrations of the course of the railroad
showing the wonderful engineering
feats accomplished in it's construction.
Otero county owes much Of Its pres
ent prosperity to the judicious use OF
printers ink. and as long as 1t continues
to be as we'll advertised as at present
so long 1t will attract capital and other
settlers. Other counties would do well
to follow the example set by Otero
county.

HALL OF Fame,

Miss Helen Gould gave $780, 900 for a
hall of fame to be erected at New York
to commemorate the of the great
men of the country upon the condition
that Jay Gould be given a prominent
place among the men whose names are
thus to be immortalized. People may
differ as to the degree of greatness that
Jay Gould achieved, but a gift horse
worth $780, 900 is very seldom closely ex-
Amined or criticised. Only fifty tablets
In the pantheon are to be inscribed at
the present time, and a merry war has
begun over the names which should be
placed in the hall Of fame. Over 1000
names have already been suggested,
from Red Jacket, the Indian, to Henry
George, the socialist. But no matter
what names may be selected for the
temple Of fame, those names which live
longest in the hearts Of the people, and
those men whose deeds are oftenest
mentioned in grateful remembrance by
. nation, have more enduring fame than
q place In a pantheon. 1t is better to
have been the author of a three-verse
poem like Little Boy Blue" than to
have : tombstone that reaches to the
sky,

Democratic Pipe Dreams Only.

Several Of the Democratic PAPER In
the territory have for six weeks prior
to the holding of the Republican con-
vention at Socorro amused themselves
by publishing all sorts of fake stories
under lurid headlines as to what would
happen at that convention. how 1t would
be bossed by Governor Otero and the
judges of the supreme court, how the
chairman of the territorial committee,
Mr.. Clark, would be deposed, what
great fights and bloody scenes would
take place, and similar pipe dreams.
AS It happened. the facts give the lie
direct to these papers. Neither Govern
or Otero nor one of the judges of the
supreme court Of the territory were in
attendance, r lear the convention.
There were no fights, no bloody scenes,
no rows, but on the contrary everything
was harmony. unity, and Cancellation,
and the proceedings were as orderly, as
dignif1ed. and as decent as proceedings
Of a convention or Of a d~eliberative body
possibly could be.
There was not the slightest attempt
made to unseat John s.. Clark, Of the
Republican committee, and there was
not a nan of the 100 members who at
tended the convention In person who en-
tertained any such idea.
There was M fractional fight, because
there was no faction at the convention.
Those who know say that out Of the
100 delegates present there may have
been eight or. nine who were not abso-
lutely in accord with some Of the reso-
buttons passed by the convention. But
II this was so they did not make them
selves heard or felt. The convention
was one Of which the Republicans Of
New Mexico may we'll be proud, and its
work will rebound TO the benefit of the
narty, ms will be shown by the coming
campaign.
To be sure. the Democratic papers
have had some fun prior to the conven-
ton. and are now trying to crawl out Of
the hole by saying 1--WE told you so,"
but that cuts no Ice. 1t may be that in
due course Of time they will learn that
fake stories. pipe dreams, lies and false
hoods. carry no elections. The people
are on to them, and do not believe the
rot concerning Republican oflcials and
members Of the Republican party pub
iAshed by them.

A Shortsiqhted Policy.

Arizona cattlemen are fighting the
sheep raisers of that territory and are
seeking to drive the ST. 900, 900 worth OF
sheep now there out of the territory,
The cattlemen and the farmers alike
claim damages through the grazing of
sheep far in excess of that sum, and are
p%etitioning the interior department not
to grant permits for the grazing of
about half a million sheep on the for
est reserves of northern Arizona. The
cattlemen and farmers Of Arizona are
making a mistake by driving out an in
dustry which bears a large share Of the
taxation. Arizona is large enough for
all the sheep and cattle within that ter
ritory at present, and has room for a
good many million more.

San Juan county Is very much excit-
ed over the fn1 of pay gravel along the
San Juan river. gravel that yields $20C
worth of gold to the ton. Yet San Juan
county's never failing supply of water
and it's extensive coal beds will be
worth more to it than any gold find that
ries. These may not cause as
much excitement as a gold strike. but
nevertheless they are the real wealth of
the county.

Well. yes, President Mckinley has
reason to be gratifed with the resolu-
lions adopted at Socorro; as gratiied
and proud as the people Of this country
have reason to be Of him. The Repub-
licans Of New Mexico would have been
ungrateful, indeed, had they not in
dorsed the national and territorial ad-
ministrations as heartily as they did,
but as gratitude and loyalty are a rare
quality in political matters nowadays,
President Mckinley does right In ex-
pressing his gratitude to the stalwart-
ness of New Mexico Republicanism.

future investors in New Mexico enter

the wrong policy to fleece a stranger for
the temporary gain and forget that ret

 Because the country is advancing and property values are increasing.
 Because, unlike Southern California it does not require small fortune to secure a piece of land.
 Because capital does not block all the av. enues to wealth, nor crowd the poor man to the wall.
 Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms in Yuma county waiting for occupants.
 Because churches, schools, newspapers and railroads are fast developing the moral and material clements of the Territory.
 Because good land is becoming scarce, and if you don't catch on now, your last chance will soon be gone.
 Because the country is one of the few regions of the United States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives fair com pensation for his labor, and the hustler has field for the display of his energy and en- terprise.
 Because there are neither blizzards or tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations, snow-sto: ms nor cyclones.
 Becaus1 the vast and varied resources of the country are yet to be developed.
 Because the wealth of its mines, its farm ing valleys, and grazing lands, will yet bull up great and prosperous county.

LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river
 bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesas The
 bottom ands are moister and slightly mere fertile if, indeed, it is possible to make comparisons where all are wonderfully peductiye and prolific The uplands or mesas are warmer and, perhaps
 lightly for better cultivation the citrus fruits Yuma contains variety of soil The valley land of thel Gils and Colorado rivers have for the most part deep sedimentary soil of brownish, gray sandy loam, resting, in most places, upon a gray clay subsoil at depth of from ten to twenty feet | below the surface, The clay subsoil forms a hard
 pan which is impervious to water. These soils havC been slowly formed by the decomposition of shales
 sandstones, mars. limestones, etc., mixed with or
 ganic and vegetable matter, washed down by the mighty rivers and have been gradually deposited during the course of centuries. The fertilizing brownish mud held in the wat Clof the Colorado | and Gila rivers resembles that from the Nile and it's quantity varies from 0.I to 0.5 per cent, though the water V hen considerably discolor- ed by mud is good drink, resembling in this res pect the Missouri river water. chemical analysis of the sediments of the Colorado and of the Nile exhibits wonderful similarity in the constituent | parts of each. That of the Colorado exhibiting Q trife less potassa, most phosphOric acid and car l bonade of limestone beds through which the Colo rado passes In other respects the sediment of the Colorado is almost identical with that of the Nile
 It will be noticed, therefore, that when this water is used for irrigation it is superior to artesian waters since it is constantly supplying the land with the richest fertilzing elements. The soil of the valley is extremely rich in dsdomposed vegetable matter and uncombined ca1On, readily absorbing the aerial gases, such esp tally, oxygen, which en- tering the soil decol oses the organic matters so that they can be taken up and nourish the plants which may be considered leading featurs in it
 fertility It also readily takes up and retains moisture, while the rmness of it's particles affords every facility for percolation and the activity of capillary action. In ts mechanical composition it's particles are in state of very fine division which renders it more productive than coarser soils 1
 acquirics hsat readily in the daytime and the loss of the heat at night is very gradual, that it mains always warm and is not subject to sudden changes of heat and cold Besides it's essential con-
 ,stituents of water, organic or vegetable matter, sand and clay, chemical anal ysis shows that lime, soda, nagnesia, iron, AmmoE and available forms of nitrogen, phosphorc acid and potash enter into composition in the proportions best adapted to add to it's fertility, though, of coursc is always the in soil analysis, it's composition varies in diforentl celities and is net always constant.

MINES.

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the County of Yuma. All the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends ill Mexico. From the San Bcrnardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds of
