The rush for farming lands t1e past
week reminds Die timers of those
days when this part of the valley was
open government land and hundreds
were scrambling for land at $1.25 per
acre. 1t is estimated that at least
one hundred thousand dollars worth
of land mas changed hands around
Artesia during the past ten days.
Prices received have been greater
than ever before, and this part of the
valley is enjoying a reign of prosper
ity sucn as never before known here.

A Great Advantage
 "SPL/TS" OF Ab0Nmar5s
SELLS ONION SEEDS
 FOR ROYAL PINKS"
WILLY GERMAN IS SAID TO HAVE WORKED A MEAN TRICK ON FLOWER LOVERS OF FLORENCE. ONIONS IN FRONT YARDS.

Florence, April 3--(Special.)-A number of the ladies of Florence are growing onions around their front door steps and in their flower beds and thereby hangs a tale. Several weeks ago an old German worked the town, selling royal Brazilian pinks," which he claimed to have brought from the horticultural gardens of the Elm peror of Germany
 The ''pinks" were marvels of beauty according to the German, whose name was Shaeffer and most of the ladies of the town bought them at exhorbitant prices
 As the seed were delivered the pur- chasers were told to plant them at 8 date far enough in the future to allow MT Shaeffer time to work the town thor oughly and take his departure for other parts, where ladies were wanting royal Brazilian pinks.'
 The husbands of some of the purchasers suggested at the time that the seeds bore a marked resemblance to onions, but they were derided by their better halves and recommended to talk about things they knew more about than royal Brazilian pinks."
 Since the seed have come up, and not only look like onions, but smell and taste like the same odoriferous plant, the joke is turned and some of the ladies have even tried to bribe their husbands into silence by promising to do without an Easter bonnet next year.

STREETS TO BE SPRINKLED

Ensley, April 3.-(Special.)-At the regu- lar meeting of the city council tomorrow night several matters of importance will be considered by that body, and the ses- sion will probably be lengthy one.
 To the general public the most interest," ing proposition which will be cosidered is the matter of holding an election for the purpose of submitting to the people the question of issuing bonds to obtain money for increasing the public school facilities and extending the storm sewer system. The committee to which was re- ferred the duty of ascertaining what amount and at what rate. the bonds of the city could be hoated is expected to make a report, and this being favora- ble, an ordinance will probably be passed authorizing the election at the expiration of the thirty days notice which must be given.
 An ordinance authorizing the paving or Avenue E and Nineteenth street, the principal business thoroughfares of the city, will also be considered, and proba- ply passed, as there seems to be no oppo- siton among the property owners along these streets.
 The monthly report of the finance con- mittee covering the payment of bills, salaries, etc., for the month of March, will be read and passed upon. Other matters of minor importance will also be considered
