PREPARING TO
CROSS TURKISH FRONTIER,

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-THE Porte
has received confirmation of the re-
ports that large bands of Bulgarians
and Macedonians, one of them esti-
mated to number four thousand men,
have been preparing to cross the from
tier near Eostendil, forty-three miles
from Sofia. The official circles here
have been greatly irritated by the
representations made to the Porte by
the representatives of the powers, re-
garding excesses committed by the
Turkish troops. 1t is pointed out that
the powers themselves advised Tur-

Progress in Upion County.

"The land Office at Clayton is do
ing flourishing business at the pres
ent time, as land is being taken up
very rapidly" said Robert P. Ervein,
Esq, OF Clayton, who is in Santa Fe
serving as a member of the board of
equalization. ''sFhe Territorial land
commissioners also report Union Coun-
ty as the banner county for leasing
school sections.
Union County, which covers sixty
Iby ninety miles of the area of the
northeastern part OF the Territory, has
a population of 5000, 10 per cent of
Saich is native Clayton, the county
8 at, has a population of about 500.
During the past summer 100000
pounds OF wool was shipped from
Union County, and this fall we expect
to ship from 10000 to $4,000 lambs,
and from 25,000 to 10000 wethers. The
sheep raised in Union County are of a
'iAer lie than in any other portion
OF the Territory. AS a matter OF fact
Union County has the largest number
OF sheep in the Territory.
'The cattle shipments this year will
be from 5000 to 1v,000 head, and it
would not surprise me in the least i
they passed these figures. The cattle
and sheep generally in Union County
are in the best possible condition this
year, and the heads to be shipped will
make the finest kind of beef and juci-
est of mutton.
"The revenue derived from the wool
production, and the placing of cattle
and sheep on the market, makes
Union County second to none in the
Territory as far as wealth is con-
cerned. What it lacks in population
is made up in the heads of sheep and
cattle raised in the section, which we
consider both popular and wealth COM
bined.''

HustIing Otero County.

"The population of Alamogordo and
Otero County is multiplying, and bust
ness interests generally are flourish
ing" said A. j. King, manager of the
Alamogordo Town Site Improvement
company, in the lobby of the Palace
hotel today ut is no idle boast to say
that Alamogordo with it's population o.
between $500 and 1000, and it's hustle
and hustle, is the prettiest town in
New Mexico, outside of Carlsbad.
Where four years ago there was not
even the sign of house, one finds the
prosperous town of Alamogordo with
a population strongly American, which
means much for it's future develop
ment
Our two lumber mills are turning
out 100000 feet of lumber each, per
diem, and the management of both of
these industries find a ready market
for every foot of lumber they can turn
out In addition to this AlaEogor'lu
has treating plant, for dressed TIM
ber, railroad ties, etc.
"The railroad shops of the Ell Paso
& Northeastern system, which give
to $50 men, are also To-
Gated at Alamogcrdo The selection
Of Alamogordo by the Ell Paso &
as desirable location
for the railtoad shops, has to a very
great extent been responsible for the
influx OF substantial American settlers,
The majority of the men employed in
The shops having large families de-
pendent upon them. The general Off
ces of the Ell Paso & Northeastern are
also at Alamogordo, so that it's popula-
Ion has drawn largely on the clerical
'orce employed by the company.
''The steady and healthy growth ex-
)erienced during the past four years
s not on the decline, for. Alamogordo
s by no means a mushroom town"

IF the desert land act, the commu-
tation cause of the homestead act and
pealed, we would still have upon the
statute books of the nation a true
homestead law, under which the ac-
tual settler could acquire 100 acres of
land by occupying and cultivating it
five years, and this Is the only land
law required for the settlement of our
public lands. All other acts by which
land may be acquired are in the inter
est of spectators and men seeking to
control large tracts of grazing and tim
ber land, and were never intended by
their originators to promote the set
tlement of the public domain. Presi-
dent Grant, in his fourth annual mes
sage, said, I renew my recommends
as the heritage of our children, to be
disposed of only as required for occu-
patton and for actual settlement The
public lands cannot be preserved for
actual settlers, and the great work of
reclaiming the arid lands cannot be
continued, unless we repeal all acts
by which public lands can be obtained,
except the homestead act. The repeal
of these acts has been advocated by
nearly all our presidents and secre-
taries of the interior, during the last
twenty years. Continue our present
system of land laws and the vast coun-
try west of the Mississippi, instead of
homes for millions of peo-
pie, will become chiefly country of
landlords and tenants"

REPEAL OF DESERT ACT

Of Montana.
REPEAL OF DESERT ACT

| Ogden, Utah, Sept 17-Practical il
lustrations of what irrigation will do
for western land and the best method
of supplying the needed moisture to
the arid stretches OF the West, as well
as the theoretical science of irrigation,
were set before the delegates to the
Irrigation congress at today's sessions.
This mornings session was almost
entirely devoted to the reading of pa
pers by government experts in rriga-
tion and forestry, headed by their
chief, Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, who gave a very comprehen-
sive description of the great work the
department of agriculture is doing N
the matter of irrigation.
No session of congress is scheduled
for this afternoon as almost the en-
tire body of delegates intend taking
carriages for the model farm of forty
acres conducted by the state deaf and

strong lead with Reno as second
choice.
The Honorable F. W. Mondell spoke
against the repeal of the desert and
other land laws. He said in part as
follows:
"The agitation for the, repeal of the
desert land law, the timber and stone
act and the communication clause Of the
homestead act will receive scant sup
port in the pubic land states.
Under the desert land law more
land has been reclaimed from the
desert and made fruitful than under
all other laws and it's repeal would
greatly retard future irrigation devel-
opment. The repeal of the timber and
stone act would deprive the ranchman
and farmer of an opportunity to Sc
cure timber lot, would establish
government timber monopoly, trouble
some, pernicious and contrary to the
spirit of our institutions. The repeal
OF the Communication clause of the
homestead law would discourage and
retard settlement and development,
by reason of the menace to the home
stead settler of loss of homestead
right, labor and improvements, should
sickness, death, low prices or shortage
of crops render it impossible for him
to maintain continuous residence.
"The laws in question have furnish
ed nearly thirteen million of the six
teen million dollars now to the credit |
of the irrigation fund; and their re-
peal would amount to repeal Of the
National Irrigation law.
"The people Of the public land
states are forced to the conclusion
that large part of the agitation for
repeal emanates from large corporate |
land ana land-scrip owners, who see in |
