Dear Sir: We received in
this mornings mail a letter from
K. A. Walker, dated November
26, at Rocky Ford, Colo, in
which he gives the history of his
visit at Alamogordo, and speaks
with very great enthusiasm, not
only of the people he met, but
of the land and its possibilities.
| wish to thank you for your
royal treatment of him, and as
sure you that we will do all that
we possibly can to make the
cantaloupe business success.
History proves that where can
talOupe business can be founded
and made success, that it is
one of the greatest inducements
for settling up land and increas-
ing values.
Il will in a few days, forward
you a contract on the lines as
agreed to by Mr.. Walker, and as
soon as contracts are signed,
will have our artist draw up a
label and submit for your ap-
proval.
Il have written Mr.. Walker
to forward you each size crate
with the idea that you can sub
nit it to the lumber company
and find out if they can make
same in the flat. and at what
price. If they can not make the
crates in the fiat, it will be ne
trouble to have them made up
as we can send experienced crate
makers from California to take
the contract for making up the
crates.
Il suggest that you inform th'
ice company that the Rock Is
land railway furnishes ice will
its refrigerator cars, and that
any contracts that are to be Ell
tered into for supplying ice vii
have to be made with the rail
way company. You see the wa!
the refrigerator company han
dies the ice, they charge fla
price for the car to destination
and furnish the original icing
and all the ice enroute, but the

FREAR IS. BUILDING
COLONIAL MANSION

To those who are interested in the
social phase of the change in the oc-
cupancy OF the Governors throne the
fact that Chief Justice Frear is at
present having built new mansion is
d matter of interest. The building will
be in strict colonial style, two stories
in height, and will be erected on the
same lot where the present Frear
home is located. 1t lis to cost over
$1,000. fH fss
The plans for the building were
drawn before the Chief Justice had
been appraised Of the fact that he had
been selected to succeed Governor
Carter in the robins-egg- blue chamber,
and 1t is thus evident that the appoint
ment was not the cause per Sc of the
erection of the new house. 1t will
nevertheless be exceedingly conven-
lent for the Chief Justice when he en-
tiers his new position should he and
Mrs Frear wish to entertain extern
sively.
Work on the construction of the
building has already been started.
Contractor Craig is in charge thereof.

DINNER SERVICE
FOUND
AMONG ARCHIVES

Archivist Lydecker has some things
under his care other than musty doc
uments and ancient orders. In the
Archives vault are several cases and
toxes containing treasures which are
intrinsically as well as historically
valuable.
There is one big camphor wood
case which, after many wanderings
and after having. for years reposed
amid the dust and cobwebs of various
department Offices without anybody
suspecting the nature of its contents,
has at last found a resting place in
the Archives vault. The chest con-
tains full silver dinner service pre-
sented to the Hawaiian. government
lack in the '70s. It was first sent
over to Mr.. Lydecker from the tax
office, where it had been found Ly-
decker had it carried to the top gar
ret of the capital, where one day he
opened it and discovered what 1t con-
tanned. He made list of the con-
tents and then fired 1t back to the
tax office, but short time later it
came back to, him again.
In addition to this, there is
small set of knives and forks, a dozen
and half of each. of a beautiful
pattern. The handles are mother of
pearl and the silver blades and tines
are finely engraved.
Another large set consists of oddly
shaped forks with silver handles and
gold plated tines. Nobody seems to
know the history of either of these
sets.

TIGERS MAY PLAY MICHIGAN
Princeton Looking Around for An
other Team to Meet
Next Season.

Princeton. Nov. 30.-The Princeton foot
ball management is debating on the ad-
visibility of changing its gridiron sched-
ule next season. One more big game Is
needed and. according to gossip, efforts
will be made to arrange a game with
Michigan. 1t is understood that the ini-
tiative in the matter will be taken by
the Ann Arbor football leaders. If the
reports that have been flying around
during the past week are correct the
Wolverines have tired of Pennsylvania
and are anxious to take the Tigers on.
Princeton for several years has been
looking for another game with a college
of high rank 1t is said that a game
would have been arranged this year with
Harvard, but the negotiations were
brought to an abrupt ending by strenu-
Gus objections from Captain Parker OF
the Crimson team. 1t seems TO be the
prevailing feeling here that Princeton
is tired of trying to fix things up with
Harvard and will be glad to take on
Michigan at the first opportunity

When Burgess Fished in Idaho

The Idaho Falls spOrtsmen have sent
down a story on Dorsey Burgess, the
president of the Salt Lake Hot Air
club, that is a good one. 1t is now
going the rounds, and the friends of
Burgess are having a good laugh.
When the fishing season opened in
Idaho, Burgess was the first man on
the ground and proceeded to whip the
streams near Idaho Falls for trout.
After spending q couple Of hours
without getting a bite, a stranger
CHANGED along and asked Burgess how
fishing was. Dorsey replied that the
fish were not biting that day and it
was impossible to land any under hose
circumstances. The stranger said he
had found it different, and it must he
because Dorsey did not know how to
angle.
Now, if there is one thing Dorsey
thinks he can do better than using a
shotgun, it is fishing, and he imme
Giately informed the ''flTmer-looking'
stranger that he was the best fisher
man in the state of Idaho.
Why" said Dorsey, lit is only last
week that I made a big catch of fish
right in this stream. I landed one five

sack from that house over yOnder and
filed that before noon. Fishing why,
man, l know more about that same
than Grover Cleveland"
Where Stranger Gets Busy.
The 'farmer-lOoking' stranger sized
up Burgess for a moment and remarked
that he did nos think it was possib!r.
Dorsey assured the stranger that if not
only was possible. but that he was the
man who could do il again if the fish
would only bite. Just at that time the
stranger turned back the flap of his
coat and exhibited the badge Of d game
warden, and remarked:
4 guess you don't know me. I'm
the game warden of Idaho and arrest
you for fishing out of season on your
own confession, as the season did not
open until today"
Dorsey looked at him for a full min
ute, then smiled and replied:
i guess you don't know me, either.
l am Dorsey Burgess president of the
Salt Lake Hot Air club. and therefore
the biggest liar IN Utah. I never caught
fish in my life"
