NJ. Witte, chief of the Russian peace ENJOYS, is cred
tied with being the only man who ever got the best of
the Standard Oil company. That company offered to pay
the Russian government for the privilege Of selling oil
in that country 40 per cent royalty. "All right" said
White, "you will pay It in Oil" And so, out Of every one
hundred barrels OF oil the company turns out, forty are
rolled into the government warehouse. Holding an
enormous reserve, Witte keeps the prices down. When
the Standard gets greedy, Witte brings It to its knees.
Americans admire him for that, perhaps more than any
thing else. He is the original trust buster.

TORRANCE COUNTY NOT 50 DRY

1t is rather remarkable that the homestead entries in
Torrance county, which has not a single flowing stream,
should cover sixty times the area of similar entries in
Taos county and almost five times the area in San Juan
county, both blessed with an abundance of flowing wa
ter, not onehalf of which is being utilized at present
New Mexican.
Commenting on this the Estancia News replies: Not
so remarkable after all. In the first place the entering of
land in>this part of the territory has been retarded by
the old land grants. which have only been recently annu.-
led. In the second place, while Torrance county has no
flowing streams, she has what is much better, an mex
haustible underflow at a depth which makes it very easy
of access, for the water may either be raised with little
effort and used for irrigation, or by deep and thorough
cultivation the underflow is utilized in the manner of sub
soiling and deep rooted plants.
while it is true that we have had more rainfall than
ordinary this season. it is nevertheless remarkable when
one sees the large acreage planted and the amount of
forage and crops raised this year without any artificial
irrigation. The coming fair will be an eyeopener in this
one regard, If nothing more, even to the ranchers them
sedves. Corn, beans, wheat, oats, milo maize, kaffr corn,
minet and sorghum are among the crops raised success
fully this year without irrigation. Although Torrance is
the youngest member of the whole family of counties she
viii hold her own among the older members"

The Las Vegas Optic asks the question, "Who has
it?" and then goes on to say: IF you happen to have in
your possession a $4,000 g~reenback the treasury depart
ment at Washington would be pleased to hear from you.
Somebody somewhere holds the single note above stated,
which for a considerable period the government has been
awaiting an opportunity to retire. The amount of United
States notes originally issued in the $4,000 denomina-
ito nwas $4,000, 600, and the same amour twas issued
In $4,000 notes. OF the former there remains but one
that has not been surrendered for retirement, and only
two notes of the latter denomination are still in the
hands of the public. 1t would be interesting to know
where these three greenbacks are held, if they have not
been accidently lost or destroyed. The largest national
bank notes now issued are for $1,000"

Judge Peacock had a lively run
of business this morning, and before
he had quit issuing passes" to Ho-
tel de Woodruff he had given a total
of a hundred and eighty days.
The man receiving the heaviest
sentence was John Crow, who had
pleaded guilty to stealing a gold
watch from Steve Carr. Some time
ago Crow was taken up for stealing
the time piece, which was a valuable
evidence against him and he was re
leased. Since then Marshal Rascoe
has done some clever detective work
on the case, and last Monday night
he went down to Artesia and found
person. Crow confessed the theft and
pleaded guilty when brought before
Judge Peacock this morning. The
watch was restored to it's rightful
owner.
L. d. Terrill pleaded guilty to the
charge of fighting and was fined SO
and costs. Being unable to pay. his
fine was commuted to Jail sentence
of 20 days
Thomas Martin. Fred Otto. John
Day and Dave Smith all pleaded gull

that they may be put to work on the
streets without fear of running away.
The county officers have agreed to
turn over to the city all of it's petty
case prisoners. provided the city will
make this good use of them. This is
a praiseworthy move and should be
brought about as soon as possible.
that the streets may be improved.
A prominent citizen made COM
plaint to Judge Peacock this morn
ing that he had been losing much
wood of late. and that at eleven
O'Clock last night he heard noise
at his wood pile and looked out in
time to see one of his neighbors
leaving with a load of wood on his
shoulder. Afterward he heard the
neighbor chopping the wood for use
in the stove. The citizen wanted the
neighbor prosecuted. but would not
swear out a warrant for his arrest
for fear of a neigborhood feud- The
officers did nothing with the. case
The officers cannot be expected to
prosecute individuals unless they are
supported by the citizens.
