We once imagined that the term, blew into town" was a species of fic- ton. but we know better now. We left the Huachucas just as the Arizona jaybird was calling to her mate to come and spell her on that bunch of freckled eggs. There was an indc- finable balm in the hay air, also some buffalo gnats.
 The Texas horse and Jersey COW, Were sprinting just to show us how, When Spring has come with all it's
 fun,
 How good it feels to take a run"
 Just then up came breeze from the west. and we smelt cyclone. We man. aged to hang onto Hereford long enough to find out that there had just been the most delectible foot-shaking of the season at that place, pulled off principally by Billy Brakefield and Jimmy Parker, in honor of and for the benefit of all the boys just beforre the Spring roundup started in. It was not one of Captain Jack Crawford s harum scarum, sand burr freaks, but one of the most solid and enjoyable sort. When the young ladies will ride twenty miles to a "baile," dance till in the morning and get home for breakfast, it is about time for doctors, theorists and cranks to cease croak- ing about the physical degenracy of American womanhood. Well, that is common in the Huachucas and the San Peedro" valley There you can get a woman who is stout enough to make living for a lazy man; unfort- unately, however, she has sense with her strength.
 The colored orchestra furnished the music, which needs no recommends tion. The dancing was so excellent that it would be impossible for one of my coarse discrimination to mention the beautiful performance of any par .ticular couple. Buster Brown Fran cis" was the only one present who dis tinguished himself to a point which demands special mention.
 Hereford is advancing rapidly, and lis liable to overtake Don Luis in the march of progress some time along in LC 5ldlh Ol NlAC 0thNhl OA-Ay Ae%AN cis is to Hereford what the undersign- ed once was to Don Luis; viz, mayor, city council, postmaster. notary pub lie. and mercantile baron. The Greene peoples store, of which he is the con- petent manager, fills a broad and profitable field The institution is so rich that I discovered a new crop of honey bees coming out of the roof while I was holding onto the horse rack.
 At Naco the sugar is so badly mix ed with sand we had to boil it off. Be- ing a poor newspaper man, 1 thought my rags would beat me to death, but don't imagine that this hurricane was confined to Naco and the San Pedro valley. I saw copy of the ''Honolu- lu Chestnut" glued to a catclaw in the suburbs of Naco which will impart all approximate idea, at least, of the dis tance that blizzard had covered Ar ter all, blizzards have their uses. Like the small boy remarked about stom- ach ache, it feels awful good when it quits hurtin'."
 Those who have taken a sneaking delight in writing Naco's obituary for several years, will be disappointed to learn that she is about the hottest arti- cle that ever headed a funeral proces- sion. The rustling border town has not experienced a reverse in years, without it was in the loss of Steve Aguirre, whose personal interests ie- cent and permanent departure from the surrounding scenes amid which he had figured so honorably and conspicu- ously for years In 1901, the w. C.. Greene Co. made an ordinary order for a stock of mercantile goods. The order was not filled, on the ground that the Greene people were not finan- cially strong enough to justify the eX- tension of credit. At that time Steve Aguirre came to the rescue and guar anteed payment of the bill.
 Toward the close of the same year the employees of the Greene Mercantile Company in Naco were invited to a private banquet, prepared for their es- pecial benefit by the management at the deservedly popular Naco Hotel.
  from 6 p. m. to 1 a. m., and in which 36 employees participated, Col. Greene made a speech, or rather a happy, in formal talk, in which he reviewed the wonderful change which had come to the company in less than twelve short months, and in those remarks paid Steve Aguirre the highest compliment at his command. Aguirre, as might have been expected, has accepted a permanent situation of profound re- spOnsibility and splendid emolumeDts with the W. c. Greene people.
 Several very important mining dis coveries and enterprises have cropped up near Naco in the last few weeks, which will receive more particular at tention later on. It is sufficient to state that the outlook has percepti- bly improved tone in this locality.
 Messrs. Barry and Frazer are plan ming their regular summer bear hunt already. Bob has been practicing and rubbing his running gear with uyifch hazaI for tho last three months
