IRRIGATION AT THE EAST.
Artificial Watering of Crops Has Been
Necessary In Some Sections of the
Country.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Irrigation has generally been looked
upon as suitable and necessary only
west of the Mississippi. but the Office
of experiment stations has been at
work for the past several years trying
to demonstrate that it is equally suit
The value of local irrigation was sug-
gested by a study of the rainfall sew
enty-five years. According to this data.
there were sixty-two years out of the
seventy when at least one month dur
ing the growing season showed such a
marked deficiency of rainfall as would
seriously retard the growth and in
fiuence the yield of the crops.
Irrigation work was accordingly
started on several farms in New Jer-
sey. In every case there was a mark
ed increase in the output of plats,
ranging all the way from 1000 quarts
of blackberries to 300 quarts of cur
rents on an acre plat that had been
irrigated over the crops of an uuirri-
gated tract of the same size in the
same locality. A number of New Jer-
sey farms already have small irrigat-
ing plants, which have given entire
satisfaction and proved profitable as
well. These are all pumping plants,
costing from $3.50 to $3.50 for a ten
acre farm. While farming in the west
in many places is impossible without
the aid of irrigation. the New Jersey
experiments demonstrate that mo
agent of the eastern farmer is more
effective than water applied when
needed"

TRIALS OF OPERA BOX OWNER.

An opera box. nowadays. is as priced
a family possession as is the town or
country house. 1t is as difficult for a
newcomer to secure a box at the opera
as it is for him to obtain admission to
an exclusive club; and success III the
attempt exercises an equally important
influence on his future. Not that the
possession of such a box is an unmixed
blessing, either; for a diverting chap
ter might be written upon the straits
to which a lady of fashion is put at
times to fill her box with 1.-The right
people, on nights upon which she
cannot use it herself. In this world
of fashion that the reporters describe
SO lavishly, there are just SO many
people of recognized position and
standing; it is not strange if there are
times when it seems as if there were
not enough of them to go around.

BlackAsh CruShers.

BlackAsh Crushers.
81 have watched the blackfish feeding
on shrimp and young rock crabs among
the stones of the cribwork Of the old
pier that formerly stood at Hollands
Landing. Jamaica bay" says Henry
Brand in Rod and Gun. They ap-
proach their prey very slowly and
without showing any motion of their
fins and body. and after succeeding in
catching a shrimp they would not dart
away the same as other fish do after
securing food. but would remain still
for awhile and begin to chew and then
slowly swim away. looking for more.
1.-The blackfish is provided with a
pair of crushers situated in the back
part of its mouth and consisting Of two
fat groups Of ball shaped teeth. be-
tween which they crush small crusta-
ceans and mussels before swallowing
them. The crushing apparatus of a
four pound blackfish Is about as large
as dime. The blackflsh seemingly
uses it's teeth for loosening mussels
from their fastenings and to draw
small crustaceans from their hiding
places. After the food is secured 1t Is
passed to the crushers. When it takes
an anglers bait and passes 1t to the
crusher, a peculiar succession of bites
is felt by the fisherman, and many a
fine one is missed by the angler being
too hasty to hook 1t after the first indi-
cation of a fish taking the bait"

Outlook In
West Texas

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
PAISANO PASS, Feb. 6-The great
industry of this country is live stock.
The next is mining. Farming is an
unknown quantity. This is and will
perhaps always be strictly a grazing
country Our citizens in middle, east
and southern Texas as a rule have erro-
neous ideas of western Texas; they
seem to think that this is at least par
TALLY farming country. Such is not
the case in any sense and the sooner
the general public come to know this
so soon will legislation be had along
proper lines. Every resident of this
section knows it to be a very drouthy
country. Unless these lands can be
leased or purchased at a very low
price even stock raising cannot be car
ried on successfully.
This is the best season experienced
here in many years. The weather has
been remarkably mild and the unusual
rainfall of last year made the range
better than it has been for ten or fif-
teen years. Nothing but a favorable
report can be made on the conditions
of live stock and the range at pres
emit All classes of stock will perhaps
go through the winter in better shape
than ever before since this has been a
range country and from under the con-
troll of the Indians. The lands are
stocked with about all they will car
ry however, unless better water facili-
ties are provided. What of surplus
range there was has been taken up by
Arizona stockmen who, owing to long
continued drouth up there are sending
their cattle down here for the winter.
Enterprising stockmen have prospect
ed for and found water in some places
where heretofore stock could not roam
for want of water; yet there remain
many thousands of acres remote from
water and practically worthless.
Fuel is quite an item up here, green

at the hotels and in camping parties.
They say that this climate is especi-
ally attractive to asthma sufferers. and

BEAUMONT STILL BOOMING.

Many big land transactions and leas-
es of prospective oil lands have been
made in the Beaumont district during
the past ten days, and there is no de-
crease in the number of men who are
daily arriving with the object of max
ing investments. Beaumont has the
appearance of a boom oil town, and is
a counterpart of Pennsylvania towns
in the oil region of that state during
the height of the oil discoveries and
excitement there a number Of years
ago.
4 great deal of litigation is likely
to grow out of the oil business. Leas-
es of every description are being filed
in the county clerks office Some leas-
es have been noted in which there is
no royalty consideration specified, the
place being left open. Other leases do
not definitely specify the land. Some
merely locate it by relative objects. for
instance. one recited a certain piece OF
land three and half miles from Beau
mont, on the Kansas City Southern
railroad. while others are equally in
definite.

the years 1897 and 1898, while Captain

HAsTY LEGISLATIVE ACTION.

A broad laugh has spread all over
the territory caused by a bill hastily
passed yesterday by the legislature en-
towering the governor to fill vacancies
in county offices. The cause of the
hasty action of the legislature was the
report in Santa Fee that Sheriff Black
ington was lying at the point of death,
and that in case of vacancy the demo-
cratic board of commissioners in So
zorro county would appoint democrat
to fill the vacancy. A few minutes af-
ter the bill was passed. dispatch was
received from Socorro stating that
Sheriff Blackington was rapidly recov-
ering. and was making arrangements to
run for the same Office two years hence.

DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.
julius Oleson, who for three years
was connected with the Albuquerque
Citizen, has disappeared and there are
those who would like to learn some
thing about him. He came to Albu-
querque from Wisconsin and his folks
in that state are trying to locate him.
A citizen of Albuquerque says he saw
Oleson in Los Angeles last summer but
did not speak to him. Since then moth
ing has been heard from him by any
of his relatives in Wisconsin or &C
quaintances in Albuquerque.
COONEY MINES SOLD.
A dispatch from Albuquerque says
that the Silver Bar Copper Mining COM
pany, of which D. H. Sill is president.
has just purchased the Cooney mining
properties in the Mogallon district,
paying over to Capt. Michael Cooney
$4,000. The properties sold were To-

was shot and killed by Apache Indians

of the mines.
