To Throw Open Reservation.

Washington, D. @. Feb. 2O-
The bill heretofore introduced
by Representative Stephens, Of
Texas, for the throwing open of
part of the Mescalero Apache
Reservation is to be pushed by
interested parties under Mr..
Stephens leadership. There are
many covetious eyes fixed upon
the mineral deposits and the rich
timber lands Of the Reservation.
Onrthe other hand, it is thought
that the Indian Office contem-
plates sending Geronimo aud his
San Carlos Apaches from Fort
Sill to augment the number Of
Indians now at the Reservation.
The plan, if carried out, Is be-
lieved to be good solution Of a
vexed problem and will benefit
the Mescaleros as we'll as the
|GeTunimb followers.

Pleasant Surprise for New Mexico
Farmers

Washington, Feb. 20.-The
sufferers from flood damages to
the Leesburg dam, in the lower
Rio Grande valley, who were re-
Gently allowed 5000, 900 out of the
reclamation fund by order Of
Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock, provided o bond would be
given for its return, received a
pleasant surprise when the secre-
tary agreed to let the New Mexi-
co people have the money with
out the bond under the condition
that it be returned to the recla-
nation fund within ten years.
Thus far the Leesburg men
have been unable to furnish the
bond, but Secretary Hitchcock
has decided to let them have the
much-needed money anyway. 1t
will be good news for the people
Of the valley. Several prominent
men from the Las Cruces section
have been here off and on for
some weeks in an effort to ar-
range the matter. By the use Of
this money the people to be
benefited will be able to irrigate
their land until the Engle project
involving the expenditure Of
more than $7,OOO,OO0 can be car
ried out.
The Secretary of the Interior
has awarded the contract for the
construction of earth work on the
distribution system Of the Hondo
reservoir project in the, Pecos
valley, New Mexico, to T. +.
Cazier, Of Roswell.
Only two bids were received
for the work, that Of Cazier for
$10,1l5 being the lowest. The
contract calls for 81, 900 cubic
yards of excavation on canals and

SANTA Fs CUTOFF.
Time Between Chicago and Los
Angeles VIII be Reduced
Nine Hour1.

In commenting on the ap-
pfoaching completion of the
Belen cutoff, the Los Angeles
Express says:
When the running time of
Santa Fe passenger trains be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles
is reduced nine hours this city
will be a half day nearer those
cities than any other Pacific coast
city. The construction work ON
the cutoff will be- completed
about January /, 1905. Santa Fe
headquarters in this city have
been officially advised Of this
fact.
1t was said today at head
quarters that, while actual con-
struction is expected to be COM
.pleted New Years day, the line
will not be ready for use until
about six months later. The
tracks must first be surfacedand
tested.
The cutoff will reduce the
distance ninety miles and enable
the trains to avoid the steep
grades of the continental divide.
The present running time of the
Santa Fe's crack passenger trains
betweed Chicago and this city is
sixty-six hours. Under Belen
cutoff conditions the time will
be reduced to about fifty-seven
hours.

BIe MONEY N APRICOTS
This Valley Can Produce the
ApriCOts for the Worlds
Markets.

Apricots' grOw to perfection in
this valley. They are about the
first fruit on the market, and
consequently bring the top price,
rarely selling for less than ten
cents per pound off the tree.
And because Of the fact that a
failure to raise a crop of apricots
every year is unknown in this
section naturally make the april
cot the money crop. Mr.. l. 4.
Huss, of La Luz, has kindly
furnished us with some facts con-
cerning apricots. Mr.. Huss keeps
tab on a number of apricot trees
in order to know just what can
be made from crop of this fruit.
He gathered and sold from one
tree $500 worth of apricots last
season. He also made note of
the amount of fruit sold from
three year old trees, or trees that
had been planted 3 years, max
ing 8 year old trees, and found
that these young trees made
from go to 80 pounds of fruit and
he sold the fruit at 10 cents per
pound. Mr.. Huss finds that 12O
trees will do well on one acre of
land. Take one acre of 12O trees
at$62.OO per tree and one can see
what an enormous profit there is
Ill growing apricots. One man
can take care of 20 acres of apri-
cots by having extra help during
shipping season. These facts are
based on marketing the green
fruit. No effort has yet been
made to dry the surplus fruit,
and dried apricots are as staple
on the market as gold coin. So
it is readily seen what can be
done with apricots as a money
crop. The trees grow luxuriant-
~ in this section and the fruit
natures with as fine flavor as any
grown OH earth, and with graded
fruit, the apricot growercan have
fruit coming in from the 10th
day of June till September. And
it is believed that from a dug
well for water one mar can take
care of 20 acres of trees at a very
light expense. For instance take
20 acres, plant graded apricot
trees, use a water wagon, haul
water from dug we'll, and water
each tree by means of a box or
pipe put in the ground by each
tree, thus one gets an idea of the
cost Of taking care of one acre of
trees, Us we'll as the enormous
profit from one acre of apricots.

Mrs. Beerman Dead.

Mrs. Alma Marie Beerman,
wife Of DIR. P. g. Beerman, was

gether with the remains of the
baby that died six weeks ago to
Manistee, Mich, for burial, ac-
companied by the sorrow strick-
EN- husband, two little mother
less children and the heartbroken
mother.
The deceased had been an in
valid from consumption for some
time, coming here from Michigan
last September in the hopes of
benefit in this climate, but too
late. Her mother, Mrs. George

her and nursed her during the
last days of her life, returning to
Michigan with the body, and she
will remain there, while DR..
Beerman will return to Alamo

two little boys, Lowell Richard,
age Z, and Mellward George, age
4, and they will return with
their father. The baby that died
six weeks ago was IS months old
and was named Earl. 1t was
buried here and the body ex-
pumed and shipped in the same
box with its mother to their last
and eternal resting place, as it
was the deceased's dying request
that her dear baby should be
shipped with her own remains to
the home of her girlhood at
Manistee, Michigan. for final
burial.
No one can tell or sympathize
with DIR. Beerman in this his
hour Of afliiction, like those who
have themselves tasted the same
degree Of sorrow, and we hereby
offer our heartfelt sympathy.

FARMING HEREABOUTS
Farmers are Busy and the Signs
are Good for Plenty for 1906.

Farming hereabOuts is the all
absorbing business nowadays.
The Morgan Bros, publishers of
the Advertiser, are busy as
spring bees, and SO enthusiastic
are they over their prospects that
one of the boys said to the News
man the other day that if nothing
happened to. their fruit trees,
during the next few years, that
they wonld be able to throw their
print shop out in the street and
burn it. They have a nice show
for an orchard. This year they
will be able to gather plums and
peaches. They have an ordinary
well and use water wagon, and
they are able in this way to
water 1000 trees per day, and
treesonly need water about every
eighteen days.
Other farmers hereabouts are
making better progress than the
Morgan Bros, because they have
had their trees out longer, and
consequently will be able to
gather big crops Of peaches, ,plums
apricots and the like.
This paper has made the asser-
tion and we stick to it that this
is an agricultural country with
out an equal on earth, and all
we need is development.

FORT WASHAKIE, WYO.. AGENCY
 OF SHOSHONE RESERVATION.

a few months from the time of the opening. The land that is reclaimed by the government will have the act. ual cost of the reclamation work add ed to the amount per acre paid by each homesteader. This charge will be comparatively small, however when it is considered that the home steader gets his land practically free and pays a small sum for a per petual water right on a government canal.
 The Shoshone reservation will doubt less be the first opened. It was to have been thrown open for settlement on June 15 of this year, but congress postponed the opening until August.
 The Shoshone reserve is one of the largest in the country, containing nearly $500 square miles, It is sur rounded by mountain ranges, which shelter the reservation from severe storms. It is one of the best watered reservations in the country, and one irrigation project now under consider ation by the government will reclaim enough land to make 13 colonies the size of the noted Greeley (Col.) district, which is considered the rich est agricultural community in the world.
 The Crow reservation, in southern Montana, is only few hundred miles distant from the Shoshone reservation, and is just such a land of promise. It, also, is splendidly watered, and the climate is about the same as that of the Shoshone reserve.
 The Flathead agency is near Mis- soula, Mont. Jocko being the head quarters of the agent, w. H. Smead The lands that will be thrown opeL on this reservation are particularly well adapted to the raising of hay. wheat and oats. The Indians have raised much alfalfa, which commands a high price, with a ready market iT the mining towns of Montana This reservation is also the center of the Montana fruit belt, and under the cul tivation of white men, is certain to be come great fruit raising section There are only a few hundred Flat heads, and the tribe is dwindling rap idly. The Indians are law-abiding, and many of them are hardworking, and the white settlers will find them good neighbors.

GIVEN AWAY
LARGE TRACTS OF INDIAN
 LANDS TO BE OPENED.
Prospective Settlers Are Preparing for the Run for the 2,oOo,OOO Acres to Be Given Away
 This Summer.

This summer will see great tracts of Indian lands thrown open to white settlement, the last of great impor- tance and value to be thus disposed of The land comprises 2,000,000 acres and belongs to the Crow Shoshone and Flathead tribes. When these rich lands have been distributed among the lucky winners of the gigantic land lot teries, the glories of Lo as an eXten- for there will be little more property in the Indians hands worth the white mans trouble in appropriating.
 About 1 ,000, ,000 acres will be thrown open in the Crow reservation, in south ern Montana, and the same amount in tion in Wyoming, several hundred thousand acres to be opened in the Flathead reservation, near Missoula, Mont. It is estimated that from one half to two-thirds of this vast acre age will offer opportunities for irriga- tion, and the rest will be available for grazing purposes. On the estimate of 100000 acres of arabic land, divided into homesteads of 40 acres, the new reservations will open opportunities to 300,000 heads of families, and will be capable of supporting farming population of 1,500,000 people, on the estimate of five persons to each family.
 Of course, irrigation works will have to be constructed, but all three reser- vations are we'll watered, and the gov ernment has begun extensive irriga- tion projects which will reclaim a large portion of the land not irrigable at the present time.
 The largest of these government projects on the reservations is at Huntley, on the ceded strip in the Crow reservation. Here the govern ment has been at work for a year or more, and thousands of acres of the lands to be thrown open will be con- verted into productive ranches within
