FLOURISHING ORCHARD
Peaches and Grapes on the Dunn
Ranch are Doing Well. Careful
Cultivation the Cause

A good showing in the way Of fruit
is being made this year upon the ranch
of j. c. Dunn, northwest of Alamogor-
do. Mr.. Dunn has a large number of
two-yearold peach trees which are
very heavily laden with fruit, and he
will also have a good supply of severa'
varieties Of grapes. Altough very
small amount Of water has been used in
irrigation on Mr.. Dunn's ranch owing
to the scarcity of water, tn" trees are
in very hourishing condition. One
reason why less water is required by
the trees, is their perfect state of cul-
tivation. Regularly every two or three
weeks disc harrow is run over the
ground, in consequence OF which there
is always a fine dust mulch which con
serves the moisture. Mr. Dunn has a
good well Of water at the depth of 1870
teet, and has ordered wind mill which
he will erect to furnish water for his
fruit trees. He will have a u foot
wheel and thinks that i, will furnish all
he needs.

A SUBTERRANEAN RIVER
100 Feet Of Pure Water Encountered
by Drillers Prospecting for Arte-
sian Flow at Santa Fe.

Nearly every week brings news of
some startling discovery by persons
prospecting or developing the resources
of the great Southwest Not the least
important Of these being the discovery
of hidden water supplies. In various
parts of the country have been opened
wonderful artesian basins which have
furnished water both for irrigation and
domestic purposes. But almost equal
to these are great reservoirs or streams
at less depth than these in which ma
ture has prepared an exhaustless sup
ply Of the life giving fluid from which
man can draw at will.

The latest discovery of this class
which has come to our notice is at
Santa Fe and is described by the New
Mexican as follows; THE work of
drilling an artesian well on the grounds
of the U, S. Industrial Indian school by
Contractor Mulholland who has the
latest and best modern drilling machin-
cry in use, is working two shifts of
three men each, constantly, and work
is going on very satisfactorily and
steadily. About week ago at 100
feet flow of a subterranean river was
struck and the drill has been in water
ever since that time, having now reach
ed a deplh of ll0 feet. This occurrence
means that there is a great river there,
which so far has been found to be 10
feet deep. The flow is quite steady and
rapid and the water is of very good
quality. l. may cease at any time or

ALAMOGORDO DAILY JOURNAL

Alamogordo. which some time ago
was christened THE Magic City by
us is not misnomer, and that though it
sprang up in night, it did not wither
by day, but has continued to grow with
a steadiness which augurs much for the
future. Its people are enterprising to
a degree, and now an event is approch-
ing which will relegate / from the
ranks OF country town into a full
ne,ged active little city.
To the great outside world, town is
known by its newspaper, and it is a
well known fact that they improve al
most in exact proportion to the improve
ment of the town itself. In this res
pect Alamogordo has been better re-
presented than most towns of its size
but beginning with the first of July
there will be new Richmond in the
field, the Aianogordo Daily Journal.
Alamogorlo is of ample size to support
good daily paper, and The Times
tenders its compliments and bespeaks
success for the Daily Journal. Ell Paso

PENNINGTON
POSTMASTER
Has Decided to Accept Appointment
at Request Of Delegate Rodey

Some time ago il was made public
that Judge Edw. Pennington had been
appointed postmaster IN place Of R. G.
Clarke, resigned. Later It was learned
that he had refused the appointment
and two other applications were made
for the place; but Delegate Rodey evil
IDENTIFY did not feel pleased with the out
look so wrote to Judge Pennington ur-
ging him TO occept, on the ground of
its being for the good Of party and con.
munity that he should do so. During
this time the refusal reposed in Mr..
Rodey's inside pocket and the officials
at Washington were ignorant Of its
existence. After considering the mat
ter carefully the Judge decided to ac-
cept and is only waiting now for his
commission to arrive when he will take
charge.
This is doubtless the best solution of
the ma ter; as Judge Pennington will
make good postmaster and being an old
timer in the town and well thought of
by all, his appointment cannot fail to
give general satisfaction.
AS to the bitterness between the
friends Of w. r. Merrill and Mrs. By
ron, spoken of in some of the up coun-
try papers, we feel sure it never exist
ed, except in the imagination Of the
editors Of those papers, and they did
our people an injustice in making such
statements.

BOOZE FIGHT
Two Africans Go on a Drunk To-
gether, Engage in Fight and Fa-
tai Shooting Results.

Monday night at about ll.40 William
Thompson colored was shot and killed
while attempting to seperate two
drunkin negroes who were fighting

troublesome and Jas. Hanningam told
them they had better go hone and 20
20 bed, which they started to do but
after leaving the saloon they got into
scrap in the street and Cherry was
giving Armstrong good beating when
Hanningam, Thompson and others
came out and attempted to separate
them, Thompson struck Cherry knocking
him down, wheh he got up he ran
away at the same time emptying his
pistol at Thompson, one shot taking
effect in the arm and side caus-
ing death in a short time.
At the sound of the racket Marshall
Galbraith, who was over on Pine street
ran to the place and seeing the fugi-
tive gave chase firing two shots in hope
Of stoping him but he made his escape
in the darkness and was not captured
until noon yesterday when it was
found that the shots fired had caused
TWO ugly, though not serious wounds,
one in the head and one in the leg.
He is now being held to await trial

GOOD ADVICE

Get interested in your town. If a
rich man starts project, encourage it,
If a poor man, help him. Don't be
afraid to stick your hand down in your
pocket and liberally draw forth its
contents If you have means to invest
that will give employment to some
body. DO not kick on every proposed
Improvement because it is not at your
door and you are not at the head of it.
Do all you eau to beautify your town
and your own property in particular.
BE friendly to everybody, courteous to
strangers, and never forget that your
own department does its share in Civ
ing the town its character. Sell and
buy all you can at home. Stand by all en-.
terprising citizens and be ready to do
some Of the work yourself, Don't fol-
low or encourage evil or spend your
time in prophesying failures. Keep
your own council and do not talk OF
people Of whom you know nothing. In
other words, mind your own business. -
albuquerque Citizen.

APPEAL FROM DIPPING ORDER
StOekmen and Dealers Petition for Relief
From the Unjust Requirements


BY an order promulgated in March
by the secretary of agriculture, it is
tequired that all cattle west of the
Mississippi river intended for shipment
should be dipped" in a preparation
prescribed by the department for the
purpose of absolutely eXterminating
the skin disease known as mango,
which has existed to a limited extent
f,r many years in that section. This
order, If rigidly enforced, would require
that all beef cattle, whether affected
by manage or not, should be dipped
twice before shipment.
AS it has been found impossible to
make the necessary preparations and
to round up and dip within the limited
time allowed, numerous petitions have
reached the department praying for a
relaxation of the order. Today dele
cation appeared before the secretary
of agriculture and later called IN the
president, requesting that the order be
so modified as to obviate the dipping
of beef cattle before shipment and in
lieu therefor to institute a rigid govern
ment inspection at the point of ship
ment before the cattle are loaded on
cars. The delegation consisted of for
mer Senator Carter, Republican Dixon
and Hon. Conrad Kohrs of Montana,
Mr.. Buell. of the Union Stock Yards Of
Chicago and Joseph Rosebaum, repres-
enting Chicago commission houses.
The subject, which is regarded AS of
first Importance, will be given careful
consideration by the president and
Secretary Wilson.

Glynn, the second to Ben TOmerlin,

This was followed by the Bronco Bust
ing ccr'est, Will Glynn winning the
first money, Ned Keith the second and
William Johnson the third.
Third Day
At2p. m. of the fifth a Grand
Tournament was given under the man
agement of Bud Williams which for
real interest and exhibition of skill in
horsemanship was rather the leading
feature of the entire celebration. The
winner Of this had the naming of the
Queen for the ball in the evening and
the second and third prizes were
wreaths for the ladies' of honor
At 9o'clock in the evening the grand
closing hall opened and gayiety ensued
until near morning. Music OF the high.
est order was furnished by Holings-
worth and Clifford's Orchestra and
every one went home happy from the
first and only celebration which has

the drill may go many, many feet yet
in water. On Saturday last a live frog
of purplish color and of good size
was pumped out of the pipe. The
amphibium died shortly after coming
to the surface. The eyes o' the ami
NAL were partially developed and it was
evidently blind. In case artesian wa
ter cannot be developed, it is certain
that the water from this underground
river, which seems to be exhaustless in
quantity, can be pumped to the surface
for domestic and irrigation purposes.
1t is certainly a great strike.

NO INCREASE
Tobacco Growers in This Section
Not Benefited.
They Gan Only Hope for Better Prices
by Curtsiling Their Crops.

The high price Of hurley tobacco, 1T
is announced by reputable authorities
on tobacco in this section, is caused
largely by speculation, and will not
benefit in any way the tobacco grow
ers in this section.
The reason is that the tobacco raised
about here Is the "smoked" tobacco,
or that cured" by being smoked,
while hurley Is "air cured" and is
used largely IN the manufacture of
chewing tobacco, which the smoke cd
tobacco is unfit for.
Because of this the dark tobacco
grown about here cannot be substitute.
ed for hurley, aud for that reason will
not be touched by spectators.
All the tobacco growers are asked
to remember this, and that the only
way to get relief from low prices is by
reducing the crop.

JOINT MEETING TO
CONSIDER BONDS
Finance Committee to Hold a
Meeting This Evening.
Nothing Definite Gan BE Done at
Present, as Boards Have to
Act First.
A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION

The joint finance committee of the
general council will hold meeting
this evening at the city hall to take
up the bond issue and decide on a re-
port to file with the legislative boards.
1t is not yet known what will be
done, but 1t will not be final, as the
two boards have to act on the COM
mittee report before anything can be
done.
This will be the first time the com
mittee has considered the bond issue
for streets, new market house and
new city hospital, since the decision
of the court of appeals declaring the
election legal; In fact it will be about
the only meeting at which the bond
issue has been considered.
The bonds owing to the provisions
of the ordinance under which they
were voted by the people, cannot be
sold for less than par, and cannot
draw more than per cent interest. 1t
is claimed by many that the city will
be unable to get a purchaser on these
terms, but City Auditor Kirkland,
who Is we'll informed on finances, both
national, state and city. thinks that
there will be no difficulty in floating
them at 4 per cent. The fact that a
New York company has just offered to
take $4,000 worth of city bonds at
Az per cent he thinks is good indi-
cation that the city will easily find .
market for $500, 900 worth at per
cent, running thirty years.
AT any rate the committee will to-
night arrange the details relative to
issuing, advertising and selling the
bonds. II the two boards concur in
it's report, it Is expected that the city
will in short time dispose of the
issue.

DETAILS ARE NOT ARRANGED

The torpedo boat destroyer Law
renee is expected to arrive in Paduoal
this afternoon late, and according to

charge may remain here day or two,
thus affording every one an oppor.
tunity to go aboard.
The boat is reported 10 have left

will probably make brief stops-it is
not known how man-on the way
down.
The city authorities having failed to
arrange for even reception to the
officers. or for any official recognition
whatever on part Of the city of Padu-
oah, of the war vessel, the Commercial
club took up thu matter and will see
that the officers are well received.
There are only two officers aboard, and
they will probably, if agreeable to
them, be entertained at hotel at din
ner, and the crew will be given o

formal reception, and while no pro gram
of an description has been arranged,
il will be seen that the visitors re-
ceive true Kentucky welcome.
The intention is to rent barge and
have the destroyer land against it,
and thus save people the expense of
going out to the vessel in the middle
of the river. No suitable barge has
yet been found but 1t is believed one
will be by the time IL is needed.

Negro Who Shot Lee Walters
Captured Today.
Officer Hurley Slipped Up On
Him ct Hickory Grove,
HIS VICTIM is IMPROVING

Ad Jones, the negro who shot Lee
Walters on the South Side Saturday
night week ago, was captured this
morning by Officer Aaron Hurley,
whose efforts to apprehend the negro
have been indefatigable since the
shooting. Jones came here from
Graves county, and has rela tives liv-
ing there. 1t was supposed he would
sooner or later turn up there, and the
officers surmise was good one.
officer Hurley telephoned before
noon that he had his man and was on
his way to Paducah with him.
Jones is wanted for shooting Wal
tiers at house on South Eighth street
In q statement made by Walters to
County Attorney Eugene Graves at
the city hospital, when it was thought
he was dying several days ago, Walters
claimed he was doing nothing what
ever to Jones, but when he opened a
door Jones cracked down and shot him
in the stomach.
The wound is one Of those which do
not kill quickly, but usually end
fatally. Walters was able to sit up
two days after the shooting, but later
in the week began to show signs Of
weakness and threatening symptoms
began to develop.
A telephone message from the city
hospital this afternoon, however,
stated that Walters was better and the
doctor now thinks he will recover.

A HOUSE TURNED
OYER ON WORKMAN
Alvey Gleason Painfully Hurt
by Wind Storm.
Was Lathing House When Wind Blew
it Over-Wagon Factory Was
Unroofed.
BUT LITTLE OTHER DAMAGE

The wind that accompanied the
heavy rain this morning shoS tly before
noon came near resulting in fatal ao-
cident in Worten's Addition, and by
blowing off the roof Of the wagon
works at Second and Washington
streets came near injuring several
workmon inside.
Alvey Gleason, of South Eighth
street, who was engaged IN lathing a
small frame dwelling near Goebel
avenue in the worten South Side ad-
dition, was injured by the house being
blown over ON him. He was on a
scaffold when the first strong gust OF
wind came, and the house except the
floor and foundation was turned COM
pletely over.
Gleason was caught in some way
and all that prevented his being
mashed to death then aud there was
the fact that some bricks held the
timbers partly off him. He was caught
in such a vice-like embrace, however,
it was necessary to prize up the tim
bers before he could be extricated.
He was taken home and seems to be
suffering greatly, possibly from in
ternal injuries. 1t is not believed,
however, that his injuries are fatal.
The damage to the house will amount
to considerable. IL was being built by
Mr.. Banner, the dairyman
At the Paducah wagon works at
Second and Washington streets the
roof was blown off, rafters and all.
While the rain was almost cloud
burst, there was apparently not much
wind. Yet something caught the
roof on the big building and ripped i!
off in jiffy, piling large part of il
off into the middle Of the street, AM
breaking several telephone wires.
Several men were working in the
second story of the building, but they
all escaped unhurt. The paducah
Wagon company was only recently or
ganized, and was 70 rmerly Hansnr
and Stegar. The company owns the
big two story building it occupies.
The damage is estimated at about
$3.50, fully half the roof being en-
tirely off and blown away.
The only other damage in that
neighborhood was at the Iseman
wagon yard, where skylight wal
blown of.
No other damage of consequence
was reported. 1t was rumored that 9
house near Eden's Hill was blown
down, but it was Q mistake.
