sdttSy.
Artesia Advocate Sept. 1e.
The week has been n gala period in
the Valley. Scores of strangers from
the north and east have been within
our gates and to say that they are
pleased will not do justice to the sem
iments expressed or all sides. Those
sturdy. plodding farmers from the
rich corn belt of Illinois and Iowa
have been bewildered by what they
found in the Artesia country. They
had read of the sun kissed Pecos Val
ley, where the silvery sprays of a thou
sand artesian wells were making na
ture smile, but a glimpse of it all con-
WINGED them that newspaper reports
we're misleading. No pen could de-
scribe the grandeur of it all. Where
an uncouth cactus desert was expect
ed, they drove through shaded lanes
beside clear running streams, while
apple trees bowed to the purple of
intoxicated with it all, and we cannot
blame them So long as eak human
nature is susceptible to the beauties
of nature, the beauties of the Pecos
Valley will continue to command a
Difference. The first of the excursion
lists arrived in Artesia Friday night,
and many of them are still here. 9th
ers have bought homes and have gone
back to come again. A conservative
estimate says that one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars worth of proper
ty has changed hands in the Valley
within the past days. Sales
have been made from Roswell to
Lakewood. The artesian country
showed off to better advantage. Crops
are fine. Great fields of corn stand
and the mellow alfalfa blossoms nod
a welcome in the summer breeze. APP
pie trees are bending to the earth with
the load of red ripe fruit, while water
melons, cantaloupes and pumpkins
trail their lengths around and through
overlooking and many a happy home
back in the frigid fields of the North
has been disrupted by a sight of it.
We are glad to say too, that every
citizen seemed to appreciate the IN
terprise Of the land agents. No one
so far as we know, "butted in" and
the crowds were given every attention
We were glad to LAY them here n
want them back among us. This, We
know, nan of them will do, and if
they cannot come, the story they tell
will turn many a settler to the Pecos
Valley.

A move is on foot at Artesia to or

make a white mans country of his
portion of New Mexico, and there is
still have more immigrants from Tex

1t appears that the purpose Of the
organization at Artesia against men
who contest claims is meant to reach
the class of blackmailers. who. after
filing a contest endeavor to make a
bargain for a certain amount OF mon
ey to withdraw the contest. These
contestants have no honest intention
of proving up lands-they are merely
in the hold-up business and should be
classed with highway robbers. The
Artesia organization has no grievance
against honest contestants-in fact
they are as much against dishonest
original entrymen as against black
mailing contestants. They wish to
see all the government lands of the
valley taken up by men who honest
ly intend to improve it and establish
homes on the same.

to send away the onlookers in an en-
vious frame OF mind, Miss Frances
Clark displays a great number Of
pieces Of which two bon bon boxes
seemed a trifle more exquisite than
the rest. A fish platter in Miss
Strother's collection is both unique
and beautiful. Miss Nellie Hills dis
play is confusing to describe, each
piece seeming more lovely than the
others. Miss Louise Lakeland shows
some handsome stems and a lemonade
set. Some e~xcellently done stems
appear 10 Mrs. Edmonston's display,
A set OF plates edged with gold and
with the old English letter ] in the
center, belonging to Miss Carrie Jesse
appears the object of much admira
ton. Mrs. Smith also exhibits a cast
OF handsome china. The Seniors II

KENDALL GETS LAST
WORD WITH MORRIS,
! License to Lie and License Butt
In" Exchanged With Com
pliments,

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo, May 18th, l905.-Dear
Sir: l see In your paper Of the 18th
inst. a letter, or rather a fish story,
from my old friend Morris, at the con-
clusion of which he signified his will
ingness to quit, or in other words he
seems to think that we will give him
the closing speech, it is a pretty good
sign that a boy has got enough when
he yells calf rope.
However we all read Bro. Morris
letters with a great deal Of interest,as
they remind us Of time gone by when
| was a mere boy rambling over the
same ground that he tells US o f.Stock-
ton was a mere village then, with no
hotel accommodations and when trav-
cling, every mar had to carry his own
blankets.
don't for a minute doubt friend
| Morris fish story in fact / and all his
old friends, even DR.. Bourne read
them with much interest, but it is
expected that as Stockton has grown
to be a metropolitan city since | was
| there the fishes In the San Joquin
river should have grown much more
than Bro. Morris reports, and we are
much surprised that he don't catch
larger ones. With the San Joquin
flowing into the San Francisco Bay
where big fishes grow we would not be
surprised to hear In his next fish story
that he had caught the fish that swal'
lowed Jonah, and VIZ knowing him sc
well il. he would report having caught
ii we would not doubt 1t.
Fish stories, as a general thing, arc
believed to have been stretched a lit
tie but to persons who never lished
outside Of Salt River have little idea
what good fishing is, these pin-hooh
fishermen ought to GO TO the salmon
falls on the south fork Of the Ameri
can river in California in the sprinl
when the salmon are going up anC
when the water is TO low for them L
20 over the falls they are caught b!
the wagon loads, a good four tined
pitch fork is all that is needed L
throw them out.
Just about the time that ! wrote m.
answer to Bro. Morris first story an
some one mailed Bro. Morris one o
Jack Grahams t"License's TO lie 70
one year''l and presented in the nam
OF the Court House Gang, and l fea
that Bro. Morris thought that l ha
sent it, (which is not true,l then on II
ceipt Of the license 10 lie Bro. MorrI
kindly sends me a pin on which wa
5 engraved Licensed To Butt In"
Well as / have made no attempt I
tell OF any catch Of mine l will col
clude by sending the best wishes {
all our sports to Bro. Morris, hopin
that he may live long and catch plent
Iof fish. Yours Truly,
S. +. KENDALL.
