from q single acre Of ground prop
erly cultivated.
In l-VVateru -aauHtes water rs
an important factor, as land with
out water for irrigation is worthless
except for range purposes. From
statements made by the United
States engineer and other territori-
al officials who are in positions to
know, San Juan county has more
water than all the rest of the terri
tory combined. Her three streams
furnish an abundance Of water at all
times more than enough to water
every foot of irrigable land many
times over. Heretofore irrigation
canals have been constructed to
water only the land of the immedi-
ate valleys of the three rivers, thus
bringing about one-third fthe irti-
gable lands under cultivation. The
hundreds of thousands Of acres. -of
mesa or up lands lying between
these valleys remain in their virgin
state awaiting the industrious hand
of the homeseeker to transform
them into prosperous ranches.
Much of these lands are yet owned
by the government and are subject
to entry by homestead or desert
claim. These lands have natural
reservoir sites and with the gener-
GUS offer made by the territory for
irrigation, this place offers the great
est inducements to capital and col
onists. All that is needed is capital
and muscle to develop the most
profitable propositions that are nm
improved in the West. Quite a
os extensive canals, which
will bring thousands OF acres of
arid land under cultivation, are in
Of construction and as soon
as completed will be the means Of
largely increasing the county's s pop
ulasion.

Frank Wride Of Durango, clever and
very worthy gentleman, who is or
ganizer for labor federation or similar
body, visited Pennington soms weeks
since for the purpose of instituting a
labor union there. and stopped off 10
Aztec a short time On his return. We
have not learned how mucn success was
encountered 10 our sister city, but in
Aztec the organizer failed to get action
on bis object, for and because and in the
first place there is an absence Of de-
mand for union of laborers here, ard
secondly, there is an absence Of labofers.
+ After scanning the situation careful
ly, We have discovered that Uncle Pete
Knickerbocker aud the editor of this
sheet are actually the two real, hard
working, industrious, never-say die
and absolutely untiring toiera la this
town, and we frequently have doubts
about Pete. Other claimants to these
honors are spurious and the facts are not
10 EN-, neither is the desire to toll oil
coarse and to be sure we have several
who work their mouths. others who
work their gratis, still others who work
their regulations and a few who work
their friends. There are some who
work the girls, more who work their
wives one or two who work everybody /
two or three who work 10 their minds
and score who toll regularly at the
table
Anybody knows these qualities will /
not qualify for membership 10 up-to-
date labor organizations There is some
question whethor they would even en-
able their poaseesors to gain entrance
into those famous bodies, the Never
Sweata. or the Ancient and Honorable
Order Of x-Whittlers. SO away with /

adopt the idea Of the socialists, who
favor but four hours a day for work,

SOME MORE SAID ABOUT SAN JUAN COUNTY.

The recent edition Of the Ranch
and Range of Denver contained an
article summarizing the attractions
ofthis region, from which we make
the following extracts,
San Juan is the northwestern
county of New Mexico and adioins
Colorado on the south. Utah on the
southeast and Arizona on the
west. The corner adjoining these
states and territories is the
only place in the United
States where a person can stand in
four states and territories at the
same time. The county comprises
more than three and ahalf millions
Of acres and has an altitude Of
about 5000 feet above the sea level.
The principal agricultural districts
Of the county are in the fertile val
ieys with their adjacent streams Of
the Animas, La Plata and San Juan
rivers Into these fertile irrigated
districts hOmeseekers are pouring
from all parts of the United States
and securing ranches before the
advance in lands places them be-
yond the reach of ordinary means.
So great has been the demand for
these lands that prices have doub-
led within the last two years and
they are still advancing,
There is not a more salubrious
climate, even temperature and more
beautiful and delightful place to
live in the entire country than SAN
Juan county offers, For all pull
monary, bronchial, throat, asth-
matte, rheumatic, heart, kidney.
malarial, intestinal and almost all
other ailments that mankind is
heir to, this climate is a certain
and sure panacea Here invalids
in the last stage of consumption
soon regain their former strength

And they said one TO another, Go to. let us
make brick and burn them thoroughly Gen
esis xi3.
The scriptural record OF performance
is being duplicated in Aztec. Two big
kilns are burning now When the fires
go out in them work will at once start
on other kilns. and thus material in
plenty will be provided for the build
inga which are to be erected here with
in the next few months. to supply the
public demand for better business struc-
dings and Tor residences.
y. q. Brewer and b. s. harmsen, who
have been moulding brick for mauy
weeks, each started the fires in their re-
spective lEilns this week. Mr.. Brewer
is to use his brick in the construction Of
the court house, and will burn Gnother
kiln as soon as the present one is out OF
the way. Mr.. Harmsen also expects to
brrn more brick, as several persons are
figuring with him for buildings here.
Aztec needs a public hall, suitable for
public meetings, for lodge purposes, ETC.,
and she also needs some better business
houses. The indications are that these
will now be built, and there will also
probably be erected some residence bull
dings Of which the town stands in need
and for which there has always been 4
good demand for rental purposes.
When this is done, all that is at present
needed in that line will have been ac-
complished, and the county seat will pre-
sent vastly better appearance. The
Improvements will be welcome aud ad-
vantageous and timely.

Last Scenes at Youngsville.

Youngsville, N. c., May 24.-The larg-
est crowd that perhaps ever assembled
here on a similar occasion. was present
last evening to witness the closing ex-
ercises of Youngsville Academy. The
programme, which consisted of music,
songs, recitations and dialogues was
well prepared. of a high order and well
rendered. The music by the Wake For
est Orchestra was exhilarating and de-
lightful
Prof. Alfred, who had recovered suffi-
ciently from "A brief spell of sickness, to
be present, at the close of the program
made few remarks reviewing the
years work, thanked the patrons and
friends of the school for their uniform
courtesy and cooperation in the past,
| and also announced that Mr.. Lemmie E..
Winston, bright and energetic young
man, had won the gold medal offered an
nually by the principal to the student
| making the greatest progress in penman-
ship After this the principal announced
the conclusion of the program. And thus
closed perhaps the most prosperous
school year in the history of the
academy.
large portion of the crowd remained
until the wee sma' hours of the night
and enjoyed refreshments and music.
