THE NORTHERN COUNTIES,
The Present Prosperity is Bound to Draw
New Settlers.

The northern tiers of counties in
New Mexico have been singularly
blessed this season." said stock grow
er this morning. "The range grass, the
farms and orchards have not In years
had such a substantial growth. The
harvest has commenced and Is bounti-
full; live stock Of all kinds never looked
SO we'll, the increase in the lamb, kid
and calf crop having been IS per cent
or better. The sales of stock and farm
products will place a large increase of
money In circulation among the people
this fall and winter and as the good
times of the past two years have put
the people out of debt, permanent
season of general prosperity is assured
for long time to come. This among
the people of Santa Fe, Rio Arrlba, San
Juan, Taos, San Miguel. Union, Mora
and Colfax counties. Good times also
are prevalent in the central and south
ern part of the territory, but not in such
marked degree, think, as in the coun-
ties above named. Down there the
drouth has had its effect. In some
places no rain has fallen this year. So,
too, is the drouth playing havoc in wy
oming, about Casper, Douglass and
Lusk, note by the press reports. The
drouth for two months Is be- |
ginning to alarm stockmen. In my
opinion, and after years of experience,
must say that northern New Mexico
stands at the head Of the Rocky noun
ain region In point of climate and pro-
luctiveness. Taking one year with an
'ther, l believe it the best live stock,
ruit and farming section in the west.
t has an abundance of water for irriga-
ion. flowing in never-failing streams,

lext year or so.'

back he was caught in a blizzard and
lost the trail. He had but one match,
having given all he had but one to a
ranchman he had met few hours pre-
vlous. For hours he sought the home
trail; night came on and he was well
nigh chilled to death. Finally his horse
gave out and fell Taking out his poe
1et knife he sadly cut the faithful ami

likely to be merely temporary, as the
