WILL DRILL ON MONDAY
Three Pieces of Equipment Were Lost
in the Prospect Hole of the Spring
River Oil Company, Making Very
Hard Job for the DrilIers.-FinaIiy
Successful.


d. C. Green, head driller in charge
of the work at the Spring River Oil
Company's prospect we'll four miles
west of town, and his corps of assist
ants succeeded at four o'clock yester-
day evening in removing the last OBJ
stacle from the hole. and are now get
ting new set of machinery in readi-
ness to resume drilling Monday, af=
ter a delay of several weeks. The nole
is down 407 feet and when the new
machinery is set in place the drillers
hope to lower it rapidly
'1t was the hardest job of fishing
that l ever saw in the Pecos Valley"
said an old driller to Record repor-
ter today. In the hole were a bit, a
shoe and socket, the last two having
slipped off the casing in the course of
the work. These pieces were jumbled
UP together ultil it was almost impos-
sible to fish them out. Green and his
men have worked patiently to remove
the obstacles, and deserve eonsidera-
BILE credit for their persistency in the
work. Most any other drilier would
have given UP the task long ago."
Now that the bit and other pieces
are out of the way, tae hole is il nice
shape and the prospecting will con-
tinue. The drillers will be occupied
today and tomorrow getting their new
outfit in shape to begin pounding on
Monday.

SITUATION AT DENVER
Letter Giving the Operators Side of
the Struggle, Claims Telegraph Com
panies are Handling Only One-sixth
of Their Usual Business.

New York, Aug. 26.-Arbitration of
the telegraphers' strike, as it stands
at present, is out of the question, ac-
cording to President Small of the Com
mercial Telegraphers Union. Mr. Small
said that the strikers are prepared to
remain out for two months and that
the union will support them for that
time. The executive board of the
American Federation of Labor he add
ed, will consider the relation of the
Federation to the strike in day or
two. President Small said conditions
were worse for the companies than on
the day the strike was called, and
one-half of the Western Union force
in this city failed to report after Fri
day last, when he said, the double pay
system was abolished. He predicted
that by the end of the week the tele-
graph systems of the entire country
will be out of commission.

A strong stream of water flowed in
to the Hondo reservoir all day today,
and the indications are that it will
continue some days, for the increase
in the volume of the stream mas been
steady from early morning. About
eight O'Clock this morning the stream
flowing into the great lake was four
tenths of a foot in depth and the
width of the eighty-foot weir through
which it pours into the inlet canal.
This afternoon at 2:3O it had increas-
ed to seven-tenths of a foot
In addition to the stream that is
flowing into the reservoir, seven or
eight farmers irrigated their land yes
terday and today with good heads of
water, which goes to SHOW that the
Holdo is carrying a big head of water
above the irrigated district.
The water is provided by heavy
rains in the mountains and, Judging
from atmospheric indications, the sup
ply of water will increase during the
next few days.
At 2:30 this afternoon there we're
81 feet of water at the tower guage,.
at the outlet of the reservoir, ynici
indicates that already there is a big
lake within the dikes of the reservoir.

Zone of the greatest advantages of
an irrigated country arises from the
fact that the profits are so very large
per acre that large farms are not re-
quired. A five-acre fruit ranch in any
of these typical Columbia river val
leys, set to the right kind of CONNER
cial fruits will bring profits every
and sometimes a great deal more.
Therefore an irrigated country set
ties up like a village. 1t is to all in
tents and purposes city, with its
close neighbors, numerous churches
and schools, fine roads, and dozens of
automobiles owned by these fortunate
fruit raisers. Under proper manage
ment a five or ten-acre bearing orch
ard will make as much profit as a
whole $40 acres will bring in Mime
sofa, Dakota, or ether eastern states.
The result of this dense settlement
of irrigated lands is that a cultivated
society is built up, and it enjoys all
of the benefits of city life.
Once more Better Fruit" says: .In
another colossal tract of $4,000 acres
which is just now being brought un-
der irrigation whole system of elec-
tric freight and passenger railways
is being organized to reach from its
central town on the Columbia river,
for thirty OF forty miles through what
will quickly become a town of irrigat-
ed orchards, which it is estimated
will bring over eight million dollars
a year, wnen in bearing, to the orch.
ard owners. In fact electric railways.
and steam roads, are all eager to
reach these yerdant, enormously prof
liable Irrigated valleys"
My Dear Editor, there is as much
potential money in New Mexico eli
mate and soil as there Is in Oregon
or Washington But it takes the men
of energy and high standard of HOW
TO DO THINGS, to get it out. / be-
lieve there are quite as good things
possible to US, as to the men on the
Pacific slope. Am l merely a dreamer
of dreams? Very truly,

els and other dives. and the saloons
which desire to have a private per
mission to do illegal things
William Grifith, managing editor
of "The Broadway Magazine gave
out the following statement last night
in reference to the suit:
eWe started the new Broadway
Magazine with the clearly defined
plan of making it represent New York
City. The interests of this community
are big enough and varied enough to
make the brightest and most useful
of present day publications. The moral
aspect of New York's politics, busi-
ness and social activities have and
will continue to furnish our central
thought. Tae political situation is one
which demands foremost attention.
This we endeavored to convey to our
lating article of Mr.. Wardma1, which
we published in our April number. AL
though names of particular persons
were used, we meant to convey and
are sure that our readers received the
impression that II was principles and
parties to which we referred rather
than to the specific wro1g-doing of
individuals. The references to Mr.. Muir
ply were to Murphy as the embodi-
ment of Tammany Hall more than to
his personal character.
broadway has for long time held
the opinion that a great service could
be done to the people of this city If
Tammany Hall itself could be put ol
the witness stand and examined under
oath as to its inner workings during
many years past. Murphy in his libel
suit has furnished us with this oppor
tunity, and naturally we purpose to
make the most of it.''-New York Tri

The Chautauqud opens Fri
day afternoon with Stalker, the
CartOOnist.
THE NOW.

The charm of love is its telling, the
telling that goes with the giving;
the charm of a deed is its doing; the
charm of life is its living;
The soul of the fact is its truth, ald
the Charm of the act is the actor;
The soul of the thing is the thought;
the NOW is its principal factor.
The world loves the Now and the Now
ist, and tests all assumptions with
rigor;
1t looks not behind it to failing, but
forward to ardor and vigor;
1t cares not for heroes who faltereG,
for martyrs who hushed and re-
cantej,
For pictures that never were painted.
for ilarvests that never were planted
The world does not care for fra
GRANGE that never is lost in per
fuming,
The world does not care for the bios
SONS that wither away before
blooming;
The world does not care for the chimes
remaining unrung by the ringer,
The world does not care for the songs
unsung il the soul of the singer.
What use to mankind is a purpose
that never shone forth in a doer2
What use has the world for a loving
that never had winner nor wooer?
The motives. the hopes and the
schemes that have ended in idle
conclusions,
Are buried along VITA the failures
that come in a life of illusions.

Roswell, N. NJ, Aug. 2s. 1907.

Roswell, n. M, Aug. 29, 1907
Editor Daily Record In my re
cent reading of that very able and
tasteful magazine-"Better Fruit, -
published at Hood River, Oregon,
have been much impressed, not only
by the great crops of apples they
grow in the Columbia river valley,
and the large profits their orchards
yield, but by the appreciation those
people have of their owl country, and
by the courage and persistency with
which they talk about it and adver-
tise it to the world l think we might
take lessons from them in several
ways.
They have a grand apple country in
Eastern Oregon and Washington. They
have sold their apples in New York,
Boston and London for higher prices
than similar quantities of apples have
ever sold for. Buyers go there and pay
from one dollar up to two and half
dollars per busnel box; and in car
loads. These apples sell for two dol
lars up to four dollars a box in the
great markets. This is partly because
of variety. They grow many Spitzen-
burgs and Newtown Pippins. Their
climate seems to suit these old favor
ite kinds. We do not plant them mere
because they are slow to bear, and
generally fail 10 do we'll. But we grow
Jonathans and Arkansas Blacks, which
are handsomer than either of the otn-
ers, and as good to eat Or if the Ar
kansas falls "a little below in quality,
1t makes up Tor it by superior and un-
equaned beauty and durability.
But the leading reason for the great
prices those apples bring is the far
better methods of packing which those
people follow. Nothing but perfect
fruits are packed in number one boxes.
They are graded to size, and are pack
ed in even rows in paper lined boxes
if not wrapped-aH very full and sol
III, and each box opens up nandsomer
than pictures. When we grow our ap-
pies as we'll as they do, end pack
them as well, we shall get as good
prices in the same markets, for our
best kinds Perhaps this is worth try
ing for.
Let me quote from Better Fruit: 4"
."The red winter apple such as is
grown ny irrigation is a wonder fruit.
1t is already responsible for net prof
its as nigh as $1.20O.00 an acre. And

about 1000 acres of orchard with the
cost of boxing and hauling to ship
