TORRANCE COUNTY IS
COMING TO THE FAIR
WITH TORRANCE COUNTY FAIR,
SAYS ATTORNEY N. S. ROSE.

Attorney N. S. Rose, of Estancia, is
in the city today on Legal business. He
informs a Citizen reporter that things
in Estancia valley never looked finer
than at the present time, and that new
settlers are coming nearly every day.
Farm and garden crops are looking
fine and the future of the valley is
brighter than ever.
Just at present the Torrance county
fair is the most important subject with
the people of the valley and there is
being a big effort to make this first
annual exhibition in the new county a
good The enterprising people of
the valley are centering their efforts
on this. and with the fine crops grow
ing there this year, the exhibits should
be equal to those of any of the old
farming states, while the cattle and
sheep growers of that part of the state
will not take a back seat for any part
of the country. Among the stock eX-
hibits there will be Hereford cattle
and Merino sheep that would be a
credit to any country.
One of the leading features of the
fair will be a large number of special
premiums, offered by merchants and
other enterprising men for products of
the county. There are a large number
of these, such as IS for the best water
melon, three dollars for the best loaf
of light bread by a girl or boy under
20 years old, etc, which are expected
to bring out some strong competition
and add materially to the interest of
the fair.
There will also be a good program
of sports, not the least of which will
be the base ball games, and there is
talk of trying to match a game with
the McIntoshes of this city.
1t is the intention of the people of
Estancia to bring a large part of the
exhibits from the Torrance county fair,
which closes on the 18th of next
month, to the territorial fair the fol-
lowing week, and thus have a rousing
exhibit here TO help advertise the re-
sources of that favored region.

Against E. P. & 5. ".
LASTED FOR FIFTEEN MONTHS

Word zones from Alamogordo that
the machinists of the eastern division
have called off their strike of fifteen
months standing. The strike virtu-
ally began eighteen months ago, but
there were three months during which
a sort of armed truce was effective.
At the office of Superintendent Os-
ter at Ell Paso yesterday 1t was a
that no announcement had been re-
ceived from the strikers and that the
fight had been called off.
=, 1t was February IA, 1904, when the
strike was called. An agreement was
reached after a week and the boiler
makers and machinists went back to
work. On May 16 the Northeastern
took back several men whom the
union had ordered discharged, and the
union men walked out.
Since that time the work in the AL
amogordo shops has been done under
no union agreement. Both union and
non-union men have been employed,
and the strike has been declared in
effect by leaders of the union until
the first of this week, when it is said
hat the strike was called off.

After getting the money the robbei

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
LARGEST CIRCULATION in TONOPAH
MS SAD U TRUE.

The following from the Reno journal
win prove interesting to Tonopahans:
aFor several months Of this year n
could hardly pick up a Tonopah or
Goldfeld newspaper without discover
ing an essay or a sermon on Knock
ing. The one mission Of those lanterns
Of civilization seemed to be an effort to
prove that the pen is mightier than the
hammer.
'If a local exchange happened to
mention that the rain fell in Goldfeld
or that the undertakes of Tonopah
were not in business for their health, a
rancorous chorus arose from the south
land denouncing the Reno newspapers
as knockers; cartoons representing
Reno as a collection of tombstones tied
together with cobwebs were published;
and advertisements for bids were print
ed to ascertain which citizen of Tono-
pah or Goldfeld were public-spirited
enough to offer the highest reward to a
man who would be willing to mail the
managers of the Reno newspapers a
small pox scab or a dynamite bomb.
And meanwhile the air of the desert
echoed to the refrain that a 'knocker'
was no good; that he had no fit place
in the eternal scheme of things. Il
there is one thing the new gold camp:
despise more than wild cat mines anC

Congressman Duncan McKinlay of

Der of the Roosevelt party in the
Orient has written a lengthy letter from
Japan in which he says; 1.-The writer
learned that it is against the policy Of
the japanese government to permit her
people to emigrate to America or any
other country, excepting Korea and
Manchuria. In a recent conversation
Marquis Ito, the first man Of Japan and
next to her Emperor, said: Japan
needs all her W people. Nowhere
can she get labor equal to them.
Therefore it is u policy to keep our
laborers at home to aid in building up
the empire. Along this line the gov
eminent Of Japan has passed laws pre-
venting in some measure her laborers
from leaving the country" If the
policy is followed up it will allay the
fears Of a japanese invasion Of labor
on the Prcifc slope, quiet the appre-
tensions Of the working people of the
coast and lessen the possibility OF a
serious complication with a nation
which to day at least seems earnestly
DESTROYS of becoming the true friend OF
the United States.
