CURRY FIGHTS FOR
THE GOOD NAME OF
AMERICAN WOMEN
Lambasts the Stuf1in Out of a
Filipino Who Speaks Dis
paragingly ofThem.
THREW WINE in HIS FACE

Governor George Curry of Samar, in
the Philippine Islands. threw his wine in
the face of Filipino official, Cruz Herre-
ra, president of the municipal board of
Manila and then took him outside
wiped the earth up with him. At the ban
quet rendered Secretary of War Taft and
party at Manila, this Filipino spoke dis
paragingly of American women and Curry
proceeded to work him over. After whip
ping him, he made him apologize. Ameri-
can blood will tell, no matter in what quar-
ter OF the globe you find it, and there new
er was one of them born under the Stars and
Stripes-unless it might be the ".ASt0r"
who wouldn't attempt to lick regiment if
he heard it abuse the good name of our
women.
Gov. Curry is known in every hamlet in
New Mexico. Before he went to the Span
ish war he was prominent is New Mexico
politics. His influence in the Assembly
is remembered by his host of friends in the
Territory, and every one of them W ill
champion his m e h o d of convincing a
Philippines Negro that the character of
American women is not to be assailed as
long as the flag floats over any country
that we call ours.
If we had our way about it here in New
Mexico we would suggest that the govern
ment furnish Curry the munitions of war
and two or three regiments of American
soldiers, turn the Islands over to him and
tell him to lick them till they love us.
Dispatches from Manila sketch Curry's
banquet campaign and the fall OF the Fill
pino Herrera as follows
AN insult to American women offered
by a native Filipino official at a public
banquet was resented by an American Off
Ger in true American style. The incident
took place at banquet given to Secretary
of war Taft when he was in Manila. The
story is brought here by a passenger who
arrived from the PHILIPPINES on the trans
port Sherman.
Governor George Curry, of Samar. for
merely a captain of the Il ough Riders,
championed the cause of American women,
and Cruz Herrera president of the munic-
ipa board of Manila, was the one who suff-
cred at the hands of the former volunteer.
According to the story, Herrera, while
addressing number of Americans at the
banquet. spoke in disparaging terms of the
women of America. Curry answered his
insinuations by dashng glass of Cham
pagne into the face of the Filipino. Later
he met him outside and administered
sound drubbing to the offender. The Fill
pino later apologized for his words The
story has gone the rounds at Manila and
has served to widen the breach that now
exists between the upper classes of the ma
tives and the American residents"

: The Future Of Quay County , ,
! From an Agricultural Standpoint s
: NiGlGiGiGlGiI NiAi iIiGGiIiIN -

Since the organization of Quay County
numbers of settlers have made success of
raising vegetables and forage products.
At the time of the creation of the county
this entire section of New Mexico W S
deemed unfit for cultivation and only
adapted to stock raising, but many people
seeking free homes we're attracted to the
country by its excellent cl m a I e and the
rich appearance of the soil.
Soon after the completion of the Rock
Island Railroad through the country. farm
ers. or so called ''nestors" began making
entries on public lands, of which at the
creation of the county there we're more than
1900, 900 acres.
What was then boundless prairie. al
most desert-like in appearance and topogra-
ply. is now dotted over in every direction
with productive farms. The virgin d
then unbroken save where the ancient dem
izen of the plain dug his cavern home now
yields to the stubborn glebe o { h hus-
bandman. and for h i S labors gives forth
her abundance.
The tourist as he passes along no longer
tires OF the monotony Of gazing upon arid
wastes and beds of cactus. but in their stead
he sees fields Of growing gr n, verdani
meadows and blooming orchards.
One need 60 no farther than to view the
exhibit of agricultural products collected
by our enterprising postmaster to be con-
vinced that we haye passed the experiment
al stage of farming in Qua County.
What we now need is more farmers. We
have the land, climate and market. With
all that has been accomplished along the
line of agriculture. there are still some
who incline to the pessmistic view that
this country is yet unfit for anything but
stock raising This view becomes untena
BILE when analyzed under existing condi
tions.
The years that have proven improbable
to stock men have been those when the win
ters we're severe and the range short. STOCK
were starved through the winter months
and what survived the winter lost all that
was gained during the previous season. al
breeding time the cows and ewes we're toe
weak to nourish the young, and as result
the increase was lost
This condition can be avoided by in
creasing the acreage in forage crops. The
season of 1904 was the worst ever knowr
in this section of the southwest, and yet
the farmers raised splendid crops of Mild
Maize, Kafiir corn and sorghum.
Taking the worst as an example it is thu.
conclusvely shown that if more attention
is paid to farming the prosperity of al
will be greatly improved. The small farm
er can depend upon the wealthier stockmer
to buy his products, the smaller stockmar
can grow sufficient forage for his own use
and the heavier holder instead of payint
eIorbitant prices for shipments of a i I
from the east can rely upon the farmer wher
the range is inadequate to winter the herd
But what appears to be the most prof
table industry of all, is stock-f r m i ng

While palying about the barn at
his home last Saturday little Vernon
Wilson, son .of John Wilson, in
jumping to the ground struck 9
stick, which penetrated his abdomen
for several inches. DR.: Walker
was called to attend him and found
1t necessary: to make q cut seven
inches long in order to remove the
stick. After the operation the little
fellow rested as comfortable a.
could be expected. The stick en-
tered the abdomen very low and
penetrated upward about seven
inches. 1t had..a nail in the end
which stuck out like the barb OF 9
fish hook, and it was owing to thl 9
that it was proved necessary to cut
it out, as any attempt to pull it out
would have been attended with
fatal results. The nail would have
perforated the iptestines. in several
places. The point of the nail point
ed downwards and did not cause
any trouble until an attempt was
made to remove the stick. The
accident is very painful ana viii

The booming West.

Here is pat statement relative to the
West from a gentleman who recently To-
Gated in Washington, near Seattle;
The boomers Of the West do not hesi-
tate to advise everyone to come here to
locate. This has brought to this country a
surplus Of laborers, clerks and young men
seeking salared places. There is no de-
mand for such classes here at the present
time, There are more men seeking easy
jobs than there are places for them.
Clerk, book-keepers, civil engineers and
even some grades Of professional men
will do well to give the western cities a
wide berth.
The man with few thousand dollars
to invest and the experienced professional
man have good opportunities to succeed.
Ten men come to view the west,
Three of the ten remain. The other seven
leave enough coin behind them before
they depart to help keep the other three
alive"
