A SHOWER OF FISH
IN kIRBY'S TOWN.

Mr.. J. S. Kirby, although a resi-
dent of Roswell for some years, yet
keeps his eyes open for news from
his dc home, independence, Mo. Mr..
Kirby say there is nothing too good
for independence, n as proof of it
he handed to the Record the following
clipping, for which, knowing indie
pendence as he does, he is almost
willing to vouch for the truth of it.
At n rate it certainly is the best
fish story of the season:
AT four O'Clock yesterday after
noon, when the rain was heaviest, a
large quantity Of sIpall silver coIored
fish, which closely resembled noun
tain trout, fell from the sky at Inde-
pendence. Although a few of the fish
fell in all parts of the town, the fall
was heaviest over the square in the
center of the townl So many OF the
fish fell there that the catch basins
built to carry the water to the sew
ers were clogged and the water back.

A THOROUGH INvEsTi
CATION OF LAND DEALS

Special Correspondence.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, June 9.-Appear-
a1ces seem to indicate that there is
going to be a thorough investigation
of land matters in New Mexico this
year. Special Agent Dezendorf las
had his field force doubled and, as
soon as the new men arrive, he will
have even men acting under him.
The department of the Interior has
ordered a thorough investigation of
the number of acres of land disposed
of for the benefit of the various Ter
ritorial institutions, how much money
was realized from the sale of these
lands and what was done with the
money. and whether these sales had
the sanction of the Secretary of the
Interior as provided by law.
The book of the land board have
been under investigation in the de-
partment of the Interior for more than
six weeks, the books naving been sent
from here o o after the middle of
April, by express, in compliance with
a requeSt from the department. and
the order for an investigation of the
sales by the land office is doubtless a
result of the examination of the
books which show most of the trans
actions of the board.
Nearly all of the funds derived
VI NIO Liz Vi liz oOiOSC0o ~ lhC
Territory have been expended. Of all
the ands sold for the benefit of the
Territorial penitentiary permanent
fund, there remained in this fund on
ly As cents at the time Mr. Bursum
retired from the management of that
institution. 1t is quite possible that
the investigation which has e ord
cred will reveal the name in which
the large sum derived from the sale
of these lands was expended. 1t is
understood that approximately $780,
900 derived from the sale of public
lands granted to the territory OF New
Mexico under the Ferguson bill, for
the benefit of the permanent funds of
the various territorial institutions
have been expended, and it is under
stood nat the investigation which
has been ordered will be made for the
purpose of determining whether the
sales and the expenditure of the mon
ey derived therefrom were in accord
ance with the terms of this act.
The wide publication of the Penn
sylvania Development company's tran
saction in connection with the remov-
al of Governor Hagerman has stirred
the President and the Department to
action, and it is likely that the inves-
tigation will be very thorough.

HORSE BREAKING AND FAST
DRIVING ON THE STREETS.

An unsigned communication was
published in yesterdays Record, be-
cause, in part, the sentiment was
heartily endorsed by this paper. 1t is
time that reckless driving, bronco
busting and the training of wild colts
should be stopped on the streets of
Roswell. There is a city ordinance
CNo. So, sections 9 and 10) which
makes it a misdemeanor to drive any
horse, team or other animal through
the streets within the limits of the
city at a speed or gait to exceed
eight miles per hour; also prescribing
a penalty for leaving any animal un-
hitched on the streets or alleys of
the city. A later ordinance makes it
a misdemeanor to break horses on the
streets within the city limits. 1t is
the duty of the city officers to have
these ordinances enforced. Stop such
practice before somebody is killed or

NEW MEXICO AS THE
PREMIER FRUIT COUNTRY,

AOLA OAoE4
New Mexico is "a becoming known
ii the great eastern and northern
markets as the source of the finest
fruit. There are no apples grown in
the rest of the United States to COM
pare with those grown in in the Pc
cos Valley. The San Juan country in
the far northwest corner of the Ter
ritOry produces wonderful peaches,
plums, end apples. The Mimbres val
ley is sending out some of the very
choicest apples. Lincoln n Otero
counties have many fine orchards
whose products have a wide sale at
top prices.
Whenever El Paso and New Mexi-
co undertake such advertising cam.
paigns as have been carried on for 20
years by Los Angeles and southern
California, there will be the same in
1ux of people and capital h a Cali
fornia has enjoyed. The California
country has fewer advantages than
his region, especially in the matter
of climate; there the rains come in
the winter, here they come in the
summer, when things are growing
and the atmosphere needs to be
~freshened.
The fruit growers of New Mexico
should get together for mutual pro-
lection and TO ESTABLISH the grades Oh
New Mexico fruits in eastern markets.
The mark New Mexico" ought al
ways to mea unapproachable excel

essary to protect the orchard stock
from pests, maintain the highest stan
dards in varieties, and pack with the
greatest care so that fruit will arrive
at destination in perfect condition.

1t is important hat all delegates
appointed from New Mexico and the
Western states should actually attend
the public lands convention at Denver
next week. 1t is believed that a very
strong effort is being made to control
the convention from Washington.
Western men who have a real and
permanent interest in the solution of
public land problems are more COM
petent than eastern politicians, de-
partment officials and presidential ap-
pointees to suggest practical meas
ures for relief from any abuses that
exist,

President Roosevelt wisely avoided
the subject of railroad passes in his
address to the National Editorial AS
ISOLATION. Fact of the matter is that
no newspaper man ever did get a
free pass. They were always paid for
in advertising, and really cost the
papers more nan if they had paid
cash.

WOMEN'S ARMS WILL
TURN TO WINGS

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, March 16.-The
arms of woman are degenerating,
declares DR.. Charles LOOMS, and in
time will be but a vestige of their
former selves. They may disap-
pear altogether and be replaced,
perhaps, by wings.
Disuse is the answer to this
theory of the doctor. Disuse
causes deterioration. He says he
has noticed the increase OF
brochial neuralgia in women, par
ticularly those of the leisure
classes. They are not used to 90
nestle work, and any effort canses
shooting pains. He thinks the
arms, with continued disuse, will!
eventually disappear like the wis
dom tooth.
