We wish to correct the common

farmer. or business, or professional
man is invited to come freely whether
he is a customer or not. We keep on

Because a man visits a brokers'
Office it should not be imagined that
he is necessarily a reckless plunger;
such a supposition would be entirely
wrong in almost every case. The
most substantial business men find it
necessary to keep in touch with the
worlds markets and with general
business conditions, and find an occa-
sional visit to a brokers' Office to be
the most convenient and satisfactory
way of SO doing In these times of
severe business competition the man
who does not use such an opportunity
is surrendering an important advan-
tage to his rivals.

FINE OUTLOOK.

Il. editor Of the Index discourses
as follows concerning the agricultural
conditions in the sunny San Juan:
In the past six weeks have Wis
tied a number of places and, condi-
tons considered. in none of them
have we seen h thrift energy and
enterprise displayed that we see in
San Juan county. Dur people are TAX
ing hold and building up the country.
The prospects were w SO bright
for this section as at this season. An
abundant rain and snow fall has put
the earth in the best condition for
abundant crops, and while fruit is re-
ported killed throughout the United
States, our prospects for a crop have
never been more promising at this
season of this yea
With mills It Aztec, Pennington
and Fruitland our farmers see the
best possible prices for their grain,
and never before has there been SO
large an acreage sown as haS been
this season. But for the fact that seed
wheat is very scarce and hard to get
In, owing to the bad condition of the
road, we believe the acreage sown
would nearly approach supplying
home demand for bread stuff.

The DEWEY

Admiral Dewey has now pronounc-
ed the interview with him, which has
been spread broadcast, authentic ano
correct, although he disclaims, with
perfect honesty no doubt, any pur-
pose to offend Germany. The i'm
propriety Of the statement, however
is manifest at a glance. Comparing
the United States and the German
navies, he said:
l have made a deep study of that
navy. My belief is hat it's efficiency
in possible action is greatly over
estimated. The men do not begin tc
compare in education and intelil
gence with the Americans. Thsl
men have. in my opinion, been edu
Gated SO that they look to the OF
ticers and depend upon them fol-
specific instructions in the least mat
tiers. The maneuvers in the Carib
bean were not only successful, but
were the greatest object lesson Of
the kind, probably. that the world ha:
ever seen. 1t was an object lessor
to the kaiser more than to any othel
person. Think of it, "a war ships, in
GLIDING Golfers and all. German,
could not possibly get a fleet Owe
here that could fight such an aggrega
ton of var ships as that.

BEET SUGAR

A well known gentleman OF the
city has received a letter from San
Antonio, N. NJ, which gives par;icu-
lars concerning a big beet sugar fac
tory which is to be established there.
A powerful corporation connected
with the American Sugar Refining
company has purchased a tract in the
fruitful San Antonio valley, consisting
of $4,000 acres. This soil is all to be
planted in sugar beets. A factory is
to be established in time for treating
next seasons crop. Plans are all ma
tured and active construction of the
plant and the carrying out of other
parts of the enterprise will be COM
menced at once. The purpose of the
promoters is to offer inducements to
farmers up and down the valley for
miles to raise beets. The experiments
carried on by the A. and NJ. College
at Mesilla Park have established be-
yond peradventure that New Mexico
cannot be surpassed as a sugar beet
country. The establishment Of the
factory, and the consequent increase
IN he value of the irrigable lands for
farming purposes, will be of the great
cts Importance to the inhabitants Of
Central New Mexico.

TO RAISE

Citizens of Albuquerque, who have
become interested in the culture of
tobacco through S. E. Edmunds, quot
ed at length in Tuesdays Optic, have
practically decided to act upon the fol-
lowing recommendation of their spc-
cial committee:
We, the undersigned, your commit
tee appointed to confer with Mr.. Ed
munds regarding the culture of to-
bacco in this valley, beg leave to re
port as follows:
From all the information that we
have been able to gather in our talks
with Mr.. Edmunds, we are convinced
that the raising of tobacco can be
made a Gee in this valley; that
it would pay handsomely on the in
vestment.
We would therefore recommend
that a company be formed to raise,
rehandle, buy and sell, export and
manufacture tobacco, with a capital
stock Of twenty-five thousand (25,-
0O0) dollars, divided into two thous,
and, five hundred (2,500) shares OF
ten $4,000 dollars each. And that
the company be organized at once,
getting as many of our citizens as
possible to take stock so that the in
terest might grow throughout the
while community.
Mr.. Edmunds will be with us and
will go more into details about the
investment, etc.

"FoxY GRANDPA"
He Proves Himself Entirely Too Sly
for the Independent.

The Silver City Independent is
sore. The paper was taken in by a
fake advertiser, causing the editor to
give vent to his feelings thusly:
"A faker by the name Of Farrell
made his appearance in Silver City a
couple of weeks ago with an advertis-
ing scheme of the Foxy Grandpa"
order. He came with good recommen-
dations, and succeeded in making ar
rangements with this paper for WI
columns of space in this issue. That
he met with some encouragement is
evidenced by the fact that ne imme-
diately proceeded to get beastly drunk
and has remand in that condition
ever since, with the result that he
has absolutely failed to furnish this
Office with the reading matter for his
story and advertisements.
Farrell made the statement. to the
local business men that he was rep
resenting this paper, apdthereby has
placed the Independent in a position
where the management feels a moral
responsibility to make good" If the
merchants who contracted with Far
rell will, therefore, ntoify that office,
we will publish a Foxy Grandpa" sto-
ry of our own mex week and give
them the advertising for which they
paid Farrell, as the fellow was sufh-
GENTLY shrewd to collect in Incl
dentally he has not paid the Indepen-
dent for the space, but it is a case
where we pay for the experience.
Farrell was in no sense representing
the Independent in his scheme, as he
merely agreed to purchase the space
as any advertiser might do, but mas
much as he had s~tudiously left the
impression, we will sustain the loss
order to protect those who paid.

Foxy Grandpa" as originally contem-
