Fighting the Flames,' the worlds
greatest fire show, that has been en-
gagged at a great expense by the man
ial Fair Association, is a sensational
and realistic exhibition of fire fighting
a1d is educational in tS it gives the
people an idea of great\city confia-
grafton. 1t is no moving picture show
but is an exact reproduction of a city
| fire.
Two block of buildings are erected
| fronting on a main street the tallest
building being five stories high, and
the buildings burned at every perfor-
nance are so constructed that when
the climas of the fire is reached, these
buildings are an actual seething and
burning mass.
A woman makes thrilling. leap
from the third story of the burning
hotel into life net held by firemea;
otner women are rescued from the
roof of the same building, and from
the third, fourth and fifth stories.
Firemen slid down roofs with hysteri-
cal and fainring women in their arms:
walls are scaled By firemen, and amid
exciting and narrowing scenes, great
sheets of flames shoot up from the
building and from the roof. while
clouds of black flame roll skyward.
These thrilling scenes are viewed
from grand stand far enough re-
moved to insure the safety of the
spectators.
The show carries two regulation
steam fire engines. two hose wagons;
a sixty foot aerial ruck fire chiefs
buggy, and a patrol wagon. All of this
apparatus is brought into use during
the fire scene
When the curtain is raised on the
opening scene of the show, the appear
ance is one of busy corner in a large
city; automobiles, wagons. cabs and
other vehicles are seen passing to a1d
fro on the street; people are apparent
ly pursuing their regular pursuits in
life
In the attempt to arrest a drunken
man, a policeman is shot down in the
street, His murderer is captured after
an exciting chase i'll which he, too.
is shot. A sensational murder, also
takes place in wine room over a sa-
loon and two drunken men engage is
street fight that is so realistic that
oftentimes the spectators think tney
are in earnest.
ilese and many other exciting and
funny scenes take place during the
earlier part of the performance, and
in the midst of it all. fire is started
in paint shop adjoining the hotel.
In an instant everything is confu-
sion. The fire alarm is sounded, and
soon the apparatus is on the way 10
the scene; an explosion blows out the
front of the paint shop. and while
great tongues of flame shoot up thru
the building. the terrified women ap-
pear at the windows and call loudly
for help.
While the occupants of the hotel
are waving frantically for help, fire
men are scaling walls carrying ropes
with which to rescue the women: the
crowds form in the street, and in the
midst of wild confusion the work of
rescue begins.
1t is the most daring spectacle ever
attempted in the amusement line.

cutting. 1t was his belief, and the otn-
ers agreed with him, that a thick
growth of alfalfa bringing small stems
over a sparse growth which promotes
large stalks that will not be eaten
and cannot be digested by stock. His
alfalfa has needed but one irrigation
tIlis year, and some of it produced
two tons to the acre at every cutting.
The committee appointed to secure
a city scales made report that it mad
conferred with the city council and
received assurance that the scales
would be put in as soon as possible.
1t was suggested that along with the
city scales. a market place be secur
ed, where the farmers might come on
regular market day and exchange
with each other and sell to the citi-
Zens- 1t was further suggested that
an effort be made to get the council
such a market along with the city
scales. The value of such a place, as
demonstrated all over the world in
all times, was shown by various
speakers. The matter was left in the
hands of the same committee.
c. E. Baker was back of the prop
osition to secure legislation that
would demand absolute purity in the
seeds sold in the Territory. Upon mis-
suggestion the officers and Mr.. Ms
bet were named a committee to me-
morialize the next legislature, thru
the Pecos Valley representatives, to
pass a law that would protect the
people from carelessness or crooked
ness in seed dealers
1t was suggested that an effort be
made to secure better seed oats. The
remarkable yield of the oats fields of
the L. F. d. farm east of town, which
in places gave rs bushels to the acre
this year. was cited as the best proof
of the value of good seed. 1t was stat
ed that seed from such a field, with
proper care, would give good results.
After discussion it was decided
that the Institute should meet month
ly the future. and that the next
two meetings should be held in the
open air at the farm of some mem
Der, several invitations having been
received This plan was adopted that
all members might see in actual effect
the results of the most successful
methods of irrigation, tillage and 9TH
er farm labors. The program was left
in the hands of the executive COM
mitee. The time and place of the next
will be announced later.
After adjournment the members
were extended an invitation to become
members of the Water Users Protec-
tive Association.

THE CONGRESS WILL
ATTRACT CAPITAL.


nal, Albuquerque, N. M:
Dear Sir:-Your wire of the 11tl
inst. asking me for my opinion as to
the Importance and benefit of New
Mexico of the Irrigation congress at
albuquerque, reached Silver City dur
ing my absence at the Mimbres Hot
Springs, so that it did not come to my
notice until today upon my return.
1t is gratifying to me to learn that
the next meeting of the congress will
be held in New Mexico, and in my op-
iniol it is omething upon which the
whole people of the territory should
be congratulated 1t is almost impos-
sible to estimate the benefit that will
ensue from the full and free discus
sion of irrigation and the education
that will result and this is more es
pecial1y true in New Mexico, where
there is so much public land ready to
give forth it's hidden wealth when pro
perly developed. We have in New
Mexico an abundance of land; a soil
which is rich and highly productive;
we have also plenty of water, and all
that is needed to make this land as
fertile as any in the United States
is TIE necessary capital to build the
irrigation projects and the necessary
knowledge to guard against errors.
Then, too, we already have a ready
market at home for all that we can
produce, so that the future of the ter
ritory looks to be very promising.
Your paper is unquestionably doing
great work for the people of the ter
ritory by the prominence it is Civ
ing to the subject and this, together
with the work that is being done by
the bureau of immigration, is showing
results in the steady increase in the
number of new settlers who are TAX
ing up available land.
1t is true that a great many of these
people are at present experimenting
with dry farming but it cannot be
said to be generally successful, and it
is my personal knowledge that very
many are barely ekeing out al exis-
tence, but they are tenaciously hold
ing the land awaiting the time when
either the government or private cap
ital will make irrigation feasible.
1t would be too much to expect the
national government to build adj the
dams that could be utilized in the ter
ritory or that would be actually leces
sary, and there are therefore open
to the outside capital projects that
will be highly remunerative With
our mineral wealth, which is now de-
veloped to such an extent that it is
beyond the speculative stage and the
vast areas of land that can be irrigat-
ed and made fertile and likewise the
vast areas of the mineral land that
remain to be opened up and made pro
ductive, it can only be a short time
until capital will appreciate these con
ditions. This will mean steady and
permanent growth
Of course we can never realize
these expectations unless we carefully
guard our public lands and keep them
out of the hands of the land grabbers
and the spectators. The public do
main should be kept for the public in
all that the word implies Yours very
truly. J. w. BIBLE,
President Bureau of Immigration
