Carlsbad, N NJ, April 2S.-To the Edi.
tor Of the Eagle: The progress made by
the Pecos valley during the past year can
be attributed nearly altogether to the
efforts of the railroad. Hagerman and
his associates have set their soldiers to
his associates have set their shoulders
10 the wheel and they have succeeded in
bringing order out of chaos and turning
the desert into an oasis-a TRANSITIONAL
ton scene, a sort Of lightning change as
one sees in a big theater. the only diff
erence being that the change was ap-
parent in the dress Of the landscape and
not Of the actors
Wichita and its vicinity will profit
largely by the active life in the cattle
world os this great valley. For instance,
some 800 cars have been ordered for the
transportation of feeders for Kansas pas

and as a consequence the butcher shops
are doing business. Yearlings and 2
year-0lds leave the valley for the Kan
sas feed lots and IN due time return
here in the shape Of Coins" and ribs
The price Of land here, hitherto held
al boom prices, has come down some
what. The boom at Roswell has been
plnctured and the little town is now
willing TO take much less for such out
lying lands as are for sale there than
they were a month ago. Lands here in
the neighborhood Of Carlsbad can now be
bought for a tenth Of what was de-
manded in 1896 and 1897. 1t is believed
that the fuctuation shows a healthful
growth.
A boom IS serious matter for any dis
trict in this western country, for what
goes up must come down" as the school
boys say, and any district that has not
got some phenomenal inducement to offer

pect to get $50 an acre for raw lands.
The great lakes of the irrigation COM
pany are now full and can supply the
lever valley with water for the canals

the clouds neglect to spare us drop.
The citizens Of Carlsbad are getting up
a pet stock show for July and it Is hoped
they will receive the support of Kansas

attempt to celebrate St Georges day,

the whole, the efforts to celebrate Eng

CANONIZING AND KILLING
Going on While the Poor
Starye in the Regular Way.

Copyright, 1900 by the Associated Press. J
London, April 28.-Though the queen
has returned to England and her remark
able visit to Ireland is now a matter of
history. the latest fad shows no abate-
ment Royalty's presence in Erine failed
to make Irishmen fauntlngly English;
but, icuriously enough, made Englishmen
annoyingly Irish. Of this phase, which
shamrock, there have been several strik-
ing examples this week The lower
house Of the York Convocation, COM
posed of sedate clergy and laymen of the
Church of EngIand's northern diocese,
has adopted resolution to put St. Pat
rick upon the pages Of the prayer book,
from which be was unaccountably miss
ing. ST. Andrew is there, but Erins
patron saint was omitted when the re-
formers re-edited the liturgy
On par with this action is the agita-
ton in England is the agitation il Eng
land over Irishmen's right to wear kits.
Upon this momentous question Hon.
William Gibson, son of akron Ashbourne,
lord chancellor of Ireland, has been lee
turing to large audiences in London,
dressed in the picturesque, abbreviated
galfb generally associated with Scotch
men. He makes an imprisoned plea for
the divine right of Hibernians to wear
kits. Mr.. Gibson is a learned young man
who married a French woman and con-
sistently resides in England
Now there is talk of making the new
Irish guard brigade masquerades in kits,
though the reports which have come
from South Africa telling of the suf-
fering Of the bare-legged Highlanders
and of the sorrows which are attached to
this out-of-date uniform are recant
enough to Danish the suggestion into the
lang list Of foolish absurdities. 1t is
probable that the war office will take this
view
In consonace with the queens personal
wishes, as many as possible of the new
Guards regiment will Zoe mustered for the
usual birthday trooping of colors and re-
view recemonies in London on May %.
This canonizing and killing would be
merely humorous could the impartial on
locker forget the misery poverty and
of industries that prevail
southern and western Ireland;
but in view of the conditions that exist
in that portion OF the British isles, the
so-called shamrock craze in England can
scarcely be considered anything but an
other instance on the part Of a majority
of England's people o ftheir complete
failure to grasp the nature of Ireland's
needs, however well meant and generous
may be these outward, skin-deep signs of
