In one OF his letters to the Chicago
Record-Herald. william Il. Curtis
says:
II Is a question whether the terri.
tory is going backward or forward.
X 1t does progress In a material
sense. the movement Is so slow that
Ii Is difficult to detect. There can
be no considerable increase In bopula-
ton until the great irrigation projects
of the general government are car
ried out, when large areas Of land will
be made susceptible TO agriculture.
That, however, Is positively deter.
mined, and after seven or eight years
there should be considerable immi-
grafton. Several Of the cities which
/ have mentioned In previous letters
Trinidad, Las Vegas, Ration, Albu.
uueraue and others-are growing rap
idly, which Ia due TO the increase OF
mining and manufacturing and to the
extension Of transportation facilities.
BUT the majority or the towns are
siagnant and have made no gain IN
population In recent years. Ihese
are the conditions which prevail
throughout the territory. There are
ten reasons why New Mexico should
not be admitted as a state 10 every
one on the other side.
TO an Optic representative, Mr.,
Curtis said during his stay In Las
Vegas: Il am particularly impressed
with the progress you are making.
In such towns as Watrous, Wagon
Mound and Springer where, on my
last visit were only a few houses are
today substantial business establish
ments and many homes. The terri
tory Is progressing rapidly In q ma
1erial sense"
This interview was published 10
The Optic just as given by Mr.. Cur,
Ills. He reiterated his feeling OF sur
prise and pleasure at the rapid ma
terial growth Of the territory. And
yet he has the hardiho0d, when he
reaches Albuquerque a couple OF Jays
later, having seen no other part OF
the territory except Santa Fe. to. as
sert that we are making no material
progress. that the majority OF the
towns are stagnant and have made
no growth In recent years and that
these are conditions that prevail
throughout the territory. Curtis
quotes Governor Otero and Colonel
Twitchell, men who have lived In the
territory for many years and who
are intimately acquainted with condi-
tions, and then has the further a,idac-
ity to proclaim them liars by declar-
ing, as the result OF his three days
limited observation. that conditions
are quite deterrent from what they
represent. Mr.. Curtis would certain
" make a good team mate for Francis
Livesey to whom We had occasion 10
pay our respects yesterday.

KANSAS CITY STOCK LETTER.

APtShdi W OPtiSs IH."
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 21.-Cattle
receipts last week 5000 head, against
6 $500 the week before. The decrease
was in corn fed cattle and quaran-
tines, while receipts of westerns and
stOckers and feeders was heavier,
there were also plenty of cows and
Gamers, which met a ready sale at
stronger prices. The steers and stock
ers and feeders sold 10 to 20 cents
lower during the week. The country
demand has been a disappointment
up to the last few days, but since
prices have got down to the present
basis, the movement has been very
large. Six hundred cars went out
last week, the largesl week this sea-
son. against 37G cars the previous
week. The supply of cattle today is
10000 head, smallest Monday for
three weeks, and not up to expecta-
tons, and indicating a smaller supply
this week than last. Market today
Is higher on everything except west
ern grass steers, which are steady.
These are mainly from Kansas and
Nebraska pastures, and will sell bet
ter relatively from now on, as they
are killing out better every, week.
They bring from $3.40 to $4.40, weigh
ing from 1000 to 1880 pounds. Stock
ers and feeders sell from $3.50 to
$3.75, mainly. large numbers of pam
handle cows today at $2.35 to $2.65,
a few above this, nne $1.75 to
$2.25. veal calves quarter higher to-
day at 81 to $5.25. bulls $2.15 to $2.40.
Packers ended last week with every
thing killed up, and with a better de-
mand from both the killers and from
country buyers, together with smaller
receipts this week the outlook Is good
for higher prices all around.

Flowers on Bushes. .

We want shrubs on every home place IN
America because they furnish more flow
ers for less money and care and for long
err period of years than any other plants,
says The Garden Magazine.
True, some trees have big flowers and
lots of them, but they are higher up in
the air, while bush is just where you
can see it and smell it. Shrubs are more
permanent than ''perennials" and they
are nothing like the bother ANIMALS are.
You plant trees for posterity but shrubs
for yourself also.
You get flowers the second year, If you
pay decent price, and if you go away for
a. summer, the place does not look like an
abandoned home. The plain truth is that
home without shrubbery is all wrong.
Shrubbery is just as necessary to place
as clothing to man.
Nine times out of ten the straight line
where building meets the ground should
be hidden by shrubs.

The differences which have existed
between the school board and the
graduating class of the high school
over the distribution of tickets to the
graduating exercises have been set-
tied by the board taking entire charge
of the allotment.
Ample provision. of course, is made
whereby the graduates can secure all
the seats they desire. The remaining
tickets will be disposed of in accor-
dance with the judgment of the COM
mittee.
This method will probably not be
entirely satisfactory to the class, and
perhaps not to the committee, but as
to where the authority lies there can

the committee to direct; of the pupils

FROM BAR HARBoR.


j. Montgomery Sears Dead-Gradu-
alton Exercises.
j. Montgomery Sears, well-known
summer resident OF Bar Harbor, and the
heaviest taxpayer in Boston, died at
southboro, Mass, Friday, June 2.
Mr.. Sears has been prominently identi-
fed with the summer resort history of Bar
Harbor for the last thirty years. As
boy, he came to Bar Harbor with the late
Alpheus Hardy, who was his guardian.
Mr.. Hardy, as is well known, was the first
cottager at Bar Harbor, and it was at this
first cottage on Hardy's point that Mr..
Sears spent many of the summers of his
'boyhood.
Mr.. Sears many years ago built cottage
on the shore path which at the time was
one of the most elaborate places at this
resort and has as fine a location as any.
1t has been understood during the past
few years that Mr.. Sears was intending
to build new cottage in the near future.
Mr., Sears was born at Yarmouth, Mass,
Dec. 25, 1854, his father having been an
East India merchant, who accumulated
great fortune. He was educated at Phil
lips Andover academy and at a school in
Germany and was graduated from Yale in
1877. After leaving college he devoted
himself to the management of the estate
left him by his father. A large proper
tion OF this was invested in Boston in real
estate. Mr.. Sears also owned considerable
property outside of Boston, including
1,5oO-acre country estate at southboro,
where he died.
Mr.. Sears was well known as philan-
thropist, although his gifts were always
made in a very quiet manner He estab-
lished and endowed the West Working
mems club and gave handsome church
building to Holy Trinity Episcopal parish
in Marlboro. He was an enthusiastic
patron of art. He was married in 1877 to
Sarah Carlyle Choate, of Cambridge, the
niece of Joseph II. Choate, late ambas-
sador to England. Besides his widow be
is survived by son, J. Montgomery
Sears, jr., and a daughter, Helen Sears.

The early summer when the weather
becomes warm and settled. is the best
time of the whole year to treat ca

Everyone who has catarrh of the

foolish it is to try and cure it by drug

Until recently your physician would
have said that the only way to cure
catarrh would be by a change of eli

carry health-giviug climate in your
purse or vest pocket, and by breathing
it few minutes four times day soon
cure yourself.
Everyone who has eatarrh, or even
tendency to catarrh, should use
Hyomei now, for the benefit will he
gained twice as quickly and the dis
ease thoroughly eradicated from the
system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and includes neat

and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment. The inhaler lasts a

needed, extra bottles can, be obtained
for 80 cents

Enjoy the Roses.

A queer fallacy induces some people to
leave the roses unpicked with the idea of
encouraging the plant. As matter of
fact, roses should not only be picked as
freely as possible, but with as long stems
as the growth viii permit, merely observ-
ing the precaution to leave an outward
growing eye, or perhaps two for safety, on
the stem below the cut.
Where it has been found impossible to
pick all the roses for use, then the plants
should be gone over daily and all faded
flowers removed to a point at least two
eyes below the flowers.
A regular practice of this precaution is
the only means of assuring some autumnsl
bloom in our climate, from hybrid per
petaals".
