THE JoHNsTowN FLOOD.

T he soul-stirring melodrama
"The Johnstown Flood" )" Edward
Houghton' splendid company will
be seen at the Opera House to-
morrow night. presenting the latest
dramatic success, The Johnstown
Flood" written by Charles Town
send, Esq. The play is founded on
facts and is in four intensely inter-
esting acts, and will be produced
here with all the original scenery,
mechanical and electrical effects in
the same manner that has charact-
erized its great success in all the
leading cities. The action Of the
play is located near Johnstown, i'll
the summer Of 1889, before and
after the great flood. The dialogue
is brisk, and the comedy and pathos
blend well together, while the cli-
makes are dramatic and sensational.
The scenes are as real as the art OF
the scenic artist and good acting
could make them, principal among
which are the following; The Great
Horse shoe bend; The Cambria Iron
Works; The South Fork Dam; The
Memorial Bridge; The Terrific Rain
storm of Real Water; the great flood
scene, which is verjtable revela-
ton Of the possibilities Of modern
stage development and perfect pro-
duction, in which the limit of stage
realism has at last been reached
The whole being play of such alb
sorbing interest that the attention
of the audience is held continuously
from beginning to end. The entire
production is carried complete, and
contains many new, novel, sensa-
tional. mechanical and electrical
effects. No doubt large audience
will witness the production. Sale

COTTON GIN
IN NEW MEXICO
THE IMPORTANT PRODUCT BE.
ING RAISED WITH PLATTER.
ING SUCCESS IN PEcos.

It really begins TO appear as II the
fertile soil Of New Mexico ran pro
duce any plant known to botanical
science when once water Is secured.
The experiments with cotton In the
southern part or the territory have
demonstrated that the plant can be
grown successfully here, and there Is
no knowing but that New Mexico may
vet become famous for her cotton.
The Carlsbad Argus says:
Tuesday morning Engineer Walter
Bollinger liz the fires under the boil
er of the engine at the cotton gin.
and soon had things ready to separate
the first cotton grown in the Pecos
valley from the seed. The first load
appeared presently under the dlrec-
ton of Senior Jesus Ferio, an employe
of the Ramsey.Brady company, and
something began TO be doing at once.
The whistle that now marks the hours
In company with the tooter which A.
u. Siegnor attached 10 the boilers at
the laundry, gave a whoop and the
wheels began to turn the leecy stuff
out Of one end OF tho big boxes and
drop the seeds down a chute the other
way. L. X. Ramsey. who Is acting
as superintendent OF the plant, was
well pleased with the way the ma
chinery worked and said that every
thing would DO running smoothly IN
q day or two.
SO far oil the cotton comes from
the ranches OF the Ramsey. Brady
company In La Huerta. and while this
was by no means a favorable year, II
is thought that the entire feasibility
Of the plan OF raising cotton by irri-
CATION has been indicated and that
the acreage will be largely increased
next year. though, OF course. much de-
ponds upon the reports In regard TO
the profits Of the years business.
Messrs. Ramsey and Brady have
worked hard on what was entirely an
experiment. standing to lose n large
sum OF money II their faith was Ill
founded, and deserve to make money
In the business in which they are the
local pioneers.
From present indications the yield
will average a bale and a half TO the
acre.
Tho plant is driven at present by
the old engine which did such good
service for the irrigation company,
though electrical power may DO used
when the improvements upon the pow
