lands. and this fall will bring
hundreds Of Others who have
learned of the advantages of Tu-
larosa.
The citizens are now having
bored an eight-inch artesian well
just west of town and consider
ing results of previous desultory
efforts in this direction there is
no question whatever but what a
tremendous flow of artesian
water will be struck at less than
100 feet. Wells are being dug
all over the vicinity and excel
lent and ample water is always
found at from twenty to forty
feet below the surface.
During the past sixty days
there have been u mum Der of i'm
portant and mysterious pur-
chases of land and water rights
in Tularosa and those who are
lin the know" claim that the
Rock Island railway is behind
purchases, in their intention to
bui Id their main line from Man
gum, Oklahoma, to the Pacific
coast, as charter has already
been obtained from Mangum to
Tularosa.
Tularosa enjoys the distinction
of having more actual wealth
per capita than almost any other
town we know of, and the citi-
zens are very Industrious and
thrifty class. A banker of Okla
homa recently sent representa-
tive to Tularosa with a view of
establishing bank, but the in
vestigator reported that Tularo-
sa citizens had so much money
that none would want or ask for
loans. The great increase in
business will, however, require
a bank in the very immediate
future and it will undoubtedly
be financed by men of Tularosa.
The public school is we'll or
ganized, and new teachers are
added as the increased attend
ance warrants. The climate of
Tula"osa partakes of the same
/ delightful conditions that obtain
in the entire Alamogordo valley,
I there being no actual winter and
even in the middle of summer
the nights are delightfully."- cool
without exception. The heat of
midsummer is not even notice
able owing to the absence of
moisture in the atmosphere, and
Tularosa can truly be said to
have about 325 days of sunshine
out of each year, with never fail
ing crops and water in abun-
dance, and 100000 acres of fer,
tile land open for settlement.

mess men are clearing S25 a day.
Surely city that will give them
the opportunity to make this
change in their financial condi-
ton Is entitled to something in
return in the way of identifying
the place and providing public
conveniences. Just as soon as
we find that the popular sub
scription plan has been exhaust
ed we will endeavor to ascertain
the exact reasons some have for
refusing to help this worthy
fountain plan, and when a man
tells us that he simply can't af-
ford to dig up one dollar, that is
reason enough in his particular
case, but what reasons will we
find for the hundreds who can
we'll afford to give one or more
dollars, and who persistently
refuse or neglect to send in
their subscriptions.
The disposition shown by Mr..
{. Meyer, in business at La Luz,
nearly five miles away from Ala.
mogordo, who promptly sends in
his check for $40 to the fountain
fund, should serve as shining
example Of public spiritedness
and progress, that some of our
citizens might contemplate with
profit.

OVER $500 NOW SUBSCRIBED
Subscriptions to Fountain Fund COmlns
FrOm Out Of Town.
SPLENDID SHOWING THIS WEEK

There are evidently a large
number of citizens of Alamo
gordo who are either too busy or
too Indifferent to take up mat
ters of public welfare, even when
the work involved is being done
by others. While the subscrip-
tons to the News fountain fund
are coming in gradually, the
item of time and immediate ac-
tion seems to have been lost
sight of. This weeks subscrip-
tions show a splendid increase
over that of the previous week
and the fountain is all assured
matter, but public pride should
epdeavor to make the fountain
not only a feature of utility, but
should go far beyond this and
make the fountain the central
beauty spot of AlamogOrdo, and
even go far enough to make it
the finest thing of its kind in
the west.
In making Improvements of
any character in Alamogordo,
we must look into the assured
future of our beautiful little city
and build and improve in such a
manner that the city will grow
up to each improvement and
not make the irreparable mistake
of allowing the city to outgrow
the improvements. Nothing
could be devised that will give
the newcomer and the visitor a
better or more impressive idea
of the unlimited quantity Of
water that we have, than a mag
nihcent fountain centrally To-
Gated and running perpetually
with the clear cold spring water
that our city boasts of Taken as
a mere exhibition and advertise
ment of the character Of our
city water, aside from the great
blessing as a public drinking
place, the fountain will pay for
itself and repay its builders in a
hundred ways in one years time,
and will be a gift to posterity
that will be worth while. While
tits true that posterity has never
done any thing for us, we should
look into the future (and one
does not have far to look) and
each thing that we undertake
must be the very best of its
kind. In this manner we can
build up a city beautiful, and
avoid the errors of so many of
the rapidly growing cities of the
great southwest.
The lack of subscriptions from
the general public is pronounced
by their absence, and we can
hardly see where some Of these
same persons can allow their
love for a dollar to make them
forget the fact that few years
ago they were clerks in some
other town working for $l3 a
week and in Alamogordo as bus

.TULAROSA GROWING RAPIDLY
Influx Of Settlers Creates Demand for
Additional Mercantile Houses.
SACRAMENTO VALLEY HAVING A BOOM


and pioneers who passed through
the Sacramento valley in New
Mexico in the early '6Os could see
today the former sleepy and hap
py little Spanish village of Tu-
larosa, they would hardly be-
lieve that a few years of railroad
and settlers influence could
work such a wonderful change
as can be noticed even by the
casual observer.
Tularosa, in Otero county, New
Mexico, was settled first in 1862
at a time when railroads in that
district were not even thought
of, and the first settlers were
obliged to live in a walled fort,
which is still in existence and is
being used for residence and
commercial purposes. The re-
lentless Apache Indians were the
constant foe and terror of the
early settlers of Tularosa, but in
spite of this constant danger the
intrepid settlers planted fields
and orchards and laid out the
beginning of what has proved
one of the most beautiful and
fertile spots in the entire south
west. Tularosa is situated on
| the +. 2. d S. w. branch of the
Rock Island railway, sixteen
miles due north of Alamogordo,
and at an elevation of about
1, 400 feet above sea level. The
Sacramento mountains rise di-
rectly from the eastern edge of
the town, the ground sloping to
the west in a gentle decline of
about one foot in a hundred.
The present population of Tula-
rosa consists of about 1900,
not including a large number of
settlers who have located west
and south of the town. There
are three very large and COM
| plete general stores, all carrying
large stocks of general supplies.
The postofIice is we'll equipped
and as there are five deliveries of
mail each day the town has an
excellent mail service.
AS showing the confidence of
new business interests, the re-
cent incorporation of The j. W.
Prude Mercantile Co., with a
capital of $25, ,000,is the best ex-
ample of the manner in which
Tularosa's business men are
taking care of the rapidly grow
ing demands for increased bus
iness facilities.
The soil in and adjacent to Tu-
larosa has that peculiar property
of just enough sand and loan to
make it wonderfully productive,
and without irrigation.
Tularosa is fortunate in having
at her disposal for settlement
over 100, 900 acres of this Won
derful soil, and while land is be-
ing taken up very rapidly there
are choice locations for thou
sands of homeseekers adjacent
to the town and within radius
of six miles.
The growing of Alfalfa, corn
and wheat without irrigation is
almost beyond belief and the
productiveness of the fruit trees
and grape vines even exceeds
that of California.
Since last spring seventy-eight
settlers have taken up home
steads and are improving their

now. "If you will wash the dishes'
IN wipe 'em," one feminine Dee
said to the other, "I'll be the mother
if you'll get the living" 1t was a
bargain, and the accommodating re-
males took drones in to board.
The queen of beehive does not

 Whats the main objection?"
 "The scene is laid away up in the polar regions, and of course it would look ridiculous if we didn't have the chorus pretty warmly clothed. It would never do for girls whose skirts reach only to their knees and whose waists were cut very, very low to come dancing in where everything was supposed to be covered with snow and ice"

RUINED BY OVER PROPULSION.
Most Artistic Homes Are Not Always the Costiest.

Tn the days when millionaires were not quite so plentiful as now certain man who had accumulated large fortune by the work of his hands sent his son to be educated. The boy did not share his fathers views concern ing the desirability of this education, neither had he ability, and his tutor, having labored long and diligently, came to the parent with the plea that further effort was useless, since his pupil lacked capacity. -t
 Buy him one, then!" thundered the irate father. Buy him one! Don't you understand that I have money enough to buy my children anything they need?" Alas, he had not. Money will buy a great many things in this world. but ability is not one of them and neither is taste.
