Dunlany Talks Of Torrance.

Wilbur A. Dunlavy, manager of the
John Becker Co. store was in town this
week, attending the hearing in the con-
test case of Miraval VS. Dunlavy. He re
ports everything peaeable around Torrance
and the tough name that the town has
had, thing of the past. The shooting
which at one time Wakened the echoes at
all times of the day and night is heard no
more.
The automobiles are making regular
trips arriving on time Manager Stock
ard worked necessarily during the snow
to make the line a success, and now with
better weather, has no fears as to making
schedule time. The autos leave Torrance
at a. m. and arrive at 10 p. m, making
the trip each way in seven or eight hours
The sheep losses during the cold have
been greatly exaggerated. There has, of
course, been some loss, but no great loss
has cen sustained by any single owner.
The business of The John Becker Co.
at this place is increasing in most graft
flying manner. 1t is now about treble
what it was a year ago. The old stock
of the Dunavy Mercantile Co. was prac-
tically disposed of during last year, so that
a complete stock is now on hand. A car
load of Studebaker buggies and wagons
has just been received and is selling rapid
". The store furnishes free corralS, free
camph ouse and free waterfor its patrons.
The water is tanked from Estancia, but is
furnished free to the patrons.
The school is doing exceedingly well,
the enrolment being twenty. The pro-
posed term has only about half expired,
and good work is expected throughout
the same.
A Mr. Brumer, recently from Iowa, has
purchas ed the Cottage Hotelher and will
run a first.class hostelry. Mrs. Rose
Horn, who leaves many friends in this
vicinity, will make her home at Douglas,
Arizona.

HOMESTEAD FILINGS
In Torrance County Average 1900 Acres per
Week.

That Torrance county has been we'll
advertised and that the people are quick
to take advantage of a good thing is
shown by the filings on homesteads re-
Gently. When it i. remembered that the
land in the immediate vicinity of Estancia
has only been open for entry since the
middle of November and the township in
which Estancia is located has been open
for eutry since the 5th of the present
month the amount of land entered is
phenomenal
During November thirty-fve entries
are recorded, representing 5000 acres.
During December thirty-six entries, de-
duct $500 acres from the public domain
while up to last Monday morning fifty
more entries reduced the acreage of your
Uncle Samuel in this county 5000 acres
more. During these ten weeks one hun.
dred and twenty one entries have placed
lo, 900 acres in way to become private
property in the near future.
We consider that going some for new
country, which very few short years
ago was practically unknown to the
world. The class of citizens coming into
the valley is Of the very best. The great
majority come to make permanent home,
to rear their families under the most
healthful influences, both physical and
moral, to be found beneath the shining
sun. Good schools and churches will
play an important part in the upbuiIdng
of the valley and making of garden
spot for man as we'll as for plants.
There are not less than fifty settlers in
the immediate vicinity of Estancia, who
will file within the next sixty days, to say
nothing of the other parts of the county,
and those who will yet come from other
parts of these United States to help make
of Torrance county the best "home coun-
ty" to be found anywhere.
A large part of this splendid result is to
be accredited the consistent advertising
done by the Estancia Valley Development
Association, and could not have been
accomplished in any other manner. The
credible and reliable information of the
booklet distributed by and through the
Association is now bearing fruit.

recent rulings of the Postofice
Department as to continuance in

pened before and like Jonah's

day, that is, with the officers who
puts them in force. President
Hayes was the first TO try
the thing on but when he went
out of office the men who held of.
fee under him went with him.
President Cleveland was the next
one, and his Postmaster General
had to invent the term offensive
prrtisanship'' to get rid of the
pressure, 50 he could turn the
rascals out" and they got them
out. When Harrison came in he
simply went back to the custom
of the nation from its foundation
and put his Republican friends
