The State assessors are now making a
valuation of the wild lands of the State.
and it is semi officially announced that
these lands will be valued higher this
year than ever before. The reason given
for this is that the lands have increased
greatly in value. 1t is also announced
that the owners of wild lands do not OBJ
ject to paying for valuation which is
just and equitable as compared with other
classes of property in the State. What is
"just and equitable is very difficult to
determine in this, as in other classes of
property. We imagine that those words
will be heard very often in the legisla-
ture this winter

The Hon. Frank JONES' of Portsmouth,
has given out in an interview his reasons
for supporting Mckinley instead of Bry-
an. He says that he declined to vote for
Bryan four years ago because of the
money issue, and for the same reason he
shall decline to support him this year.
AS to imperialism, he regards that issue
as overshadowed by the money question.
In fact, he does not think the questions
as to our new possessions will be in such
development as to afford we'll defined
party issues for four or five years.

Bryan and Stevenson are to be ''noti-
fled of their nomination at indianapolis
August s. This process of informing the
candidates is of course entirely useless,
except for the purpose of giving an i'm
petus to the campaign. 1t used to be
customary to inform a Presldent-elect OF
his election, but in the last quarter of a
century it has been assumed that the man
elected President Of the United States in
November would hear of it in some way
or other before March 4. So the official
notification has been dropped.

IN The ESPANOLA VALLEY
Notes of Great Prosperity and Rapid Pro-
gress from along the Upper Rio
Grande River
LAND OF FINE, PROFITABLE ORCHARDS
Special Cor. New Mexican.

Espanola, September 25.-This town
has been built up considerably the past
two years and is low rounding out, the
merchants all agree, the most prosperous
year in its existence. About SO
families from the states now have homes
in this fruitful and well watered valley.
The native people too are hospitable and
enterprising. There is good neighborls
,sociability among the people here and
healthy public sentiment fosters the
churches and the schools. There are
two private schools, one conducted by
Miss Duhrsen, late of Las Vegas, and
one by Mr.. Weston, a Massachusetts
man, who also has large music class.
PROSPEROUS BUSINESS MEN.
G. w. Bond e. Bros new mercantile
emporium is splendid brick and iron
structure two stories in height with a
frontage of 90 feet and depth of 125
feet. In II wears we have never en-
joyed so prosperous year as the pre-
sent one," said Mr.. Bond.
Biggs, Pollard & Groves engaged in
general merchandising here little over
two years ago. They have built ex-
tensively and enjoy a large and well
established trade. This firm handles
most of the fruit shipped from this
pont. They have been sending out
small fruits and vegetables all summer
to Creede, Alamosa, Del Norte and other
Colorado points, and the peach shipp-
ing season is now about over Mr..
Groves estimates that the winter apple
crop will amount to ten car loads.
BEAUTIFUL ORCHARDS.
Beautiful and thrifty orchards are
strung up and down the valley for miles.
Every year sees mai, acres of new
orchards springing into bearing and it
is no longer question but a certainty
that horticulture is to be the most I'M
portant and profitable industry in this
broad valley all the way from White
Rock canon to La Joya, distance of
rs miles.
A BIG IRRIGATION Ditch.
On the east side of the Rio Grande
the big irrigation ditch from La Joya is
to be extended so as to bring several
thousand acres more of fruit lands
under irrigation between San Juan and
Santa Cruz. A Franks, Charles Pater-
son, Judge j. A. Lucero, DR.. Lee Gan
son and other prominent men in tie
community are interesting themselves
in this noteworthy enterprise and 1t
will be glad day for Espanola and

is turned on In that ditch.
