The Independence League.

After Its New York conference,
OF last week, the Independence
League must be recognized - q
movement for the organization OF
third party in national politics.
For reasons We have frequently
given in other connections, this
movement seems to US ss prema-
ture. Successful new parties are
not drummed up in this country /;
they spring up. Not only does
that view stand the test OF reason.
able probability; 1t has the sup
port OF the testimony of experience
in the history of American politics
We have had many third parties,
but all that failed to become the
first or the second party immetli-
ately, became hopeless side parties
speedily. This is easily explained
by our hard and fast election ma
chinery, which completely dis.
courages continuous third party
voting. 1t Is only, therefore. when
conditions are quite ripe for il,
that n third party movement IN the
United States can hope to be sue
cessful-The Public.

Message to Japan.

The message which Secretary
Taft took to japan as the repre-
sentative of the United States,
may be summed up as follows:
First-that the United States is
a peaceful nation. Not alone that
it is at peace, but that it's world
wide policy at all times 10 to avoid
war, to seek Cancellation and to re-
main on friendly terms with all
nations, without Partially and
without prejudice. The United
States has no desire for conquest;
1t has no purpose to establish
spheres of influence or colonies,
and it's only wish is to secure fair
opportunities of trade upon an
equal footing with other great
commercial nations.
Second that the United States
as a matter of national policy and
domestic advantage, desires to re-
strict the population of its territory
upon this continent to people of
Caucasian race, who may become
assimilated with our own people in
homogeneous racial elements. We
admit the right of all other nations
to pursue similar plan. In pro-
posing to exclude Japanese immi-
grants we do not claim their infer.
iority; we do claim that they are
different. If the Japanese wish TO
make similar restrictions against
Americans they are free to do 70.

Business Mems Club VIII Pun Down Al. .
Ieaed SIanderer.
SUBSTANTIAL INSTITUTION VICTIM

The regular monthly meeting
of the Alamo Business Mems
club was held in the club rooms
Wednesday evening, and sever
al important matters were taken
up and disposed of.
1t developed that a number of
the original members were too
slow in meeting their club dues,
and a resolution was adopted to
the effect that all delinquent
members be given until Deeem-
ber 20 in which to pay up back
dues, and all failing to pay up
by that time would be dropped
from membership.
A special meeting of the club
will be held Saturday evening,
December 21, at which time the
report of special committee
will be received, this committee
having been appointed to inves-
tigate the source of certain false
rumOrs that were circulated re.
garding one of AlamOgordO's
most prominent business houses.
The report of this committee
will probably include very
thorough and searching inquiry
into the alleged false rumors,
and its report will be complete
and comprehensive.
There seems to be decided
sentiment among the majority
of members of the club looking
to the provision for the enter
tainment of the members and
visitors, and steps will be taker
to properly furnish the western
portion of the club quarters il
such a manner that entertain,
ments and gatherings Of socla
nature may be had. In this
work the wives of the members
will be asked to assist, giving
the club rooms that touch of {
refining hand' that is utterly
beyond the ability of any mere
man.

ADVERTISING PLAN ADOPTED
Series Of Advertisements Placed In
Eastern Papers.
ATTRACTIVE AND ACCURATE LITERATURE

John r. DeMier. special rep
resentative of the Business
Mems club, this week succeeded
in placing a series of advertise
ments in a chain of the leading
newspapers of the east and the
northwest, which it is expected
will have the effect of arOusing
the interest of the people Of
those sections to such q point
that they will write for full in
formation regarding agriculture
and fruit raising in the Alamo
gordo valley, also the climate.
That advertising a state or Sec
tion of the country is now recog-
nized as indispensable in the set
tlement of a new country, as
much so as in mercantile bus
mess, is shown by the following
clipping from a st. Louis paper:
california has long been the
best advertised state in the I'm
ion. In order to effectively ad-
vertise its resources, California
has organized the Development
Society of California. Already
over $50, 600 has been spent, and
it is the intention to spend $780,
600 within the next two years.
j. E. MacIntyre, of Los Angeles,
is accredited the honor of bring
ing more than 100, 900 people to
California, and over 500, 600, 900
in new enterprises. In the work
of building up states, j. E. Mac
Intyre depends entirely on ad-
vertising."
The Business Mems club has
decided that advertising is the
best plan and is arranging to
publish an elaborately illustrat'
ed eight page pamphlet, contain
ing all necessary information for
the prospective settler.

Second Hand Store Looted Of Gun. Watch
and SllverWare.
EFFECTED ENTRANCE THROUGH WINDOW

One of the holdest burglaries
in the history of Alamogordo
was committed last Sunday
night, by which NJ. l.. Oliver, u
dealer in secondhand goods, was
robbed of a shot gun, Il gold
watch, large quantity of silver
ware, and valuable collection
of Mexican money, the total
value of which was over 5000.
Mr.. Oliver being out of the
city it was not known that the
store had been burglarized until
a clerk arrived at I a. m. to open
the store.
The thieves effected an en-
trance through a window on the
Ninth street side by tearing a
screen away and removing a
pane of glass, marks of blood on
the frame showing that one of
the burglars severely cut his
hand in doing so. After remov-
ing a number of coffee mills,
which the midnight marauders
piled up on the sidewalk, one
of them climbed through Il hole
l0Xl2 inches and proceeded to
loot the store. That they were
not discovered or seen is due tC
the fact that they chose a dark
spot and carried on their work
behind a hogshead.
The officers suspected tive
Mexicans who were seen driving
south at a rapid pace sometime
before daylight.

NAIL THE LIE.

For eight years the First Ma
tional bank Of Alamugordo has
confined its business to that Of
legitimate, dignifiel banking,
carrying with it the confidence
of the people Of New Mexico to
such an extent that it is today the
Oldest and largest bank in Otero
county, having resources double
that of any other bank in the
county.
Before branding the talemon-
gers who, to injure the standing
of this bank by malicious state
ments, which they knew to be
false. let us say that this bank
has in gilt edge assets more
than $40, 900 over and above every
dollar deposited by its custom
ers, making all depositors abso-
lutely secure against loss. In
order to extract the poison from
the snake you must clip his
fangs, therefore, il we check the
malicious talemongers, let us
pull them out of their dark holes
into the bright sunlight where
all men can see them squirm
and hear them ''holler.'
Now in order to nail the lie,
this bank. through its board Of
directors, will pay $500 cash as Il
reward for the apprehension and
conviction Of any person or per-
sons who make or causes to be
made untrue or derogatory state
ments against this bank and its
best interests. We desire to
further add that We are now in
possession of evidence as to one
Of the guilty parties.

MR.. OREN COMES
WELL RECOMMENDED

Mr.. Levi Oren who came to
Alamogordo from Corvallis, Ore,
is the class Of citizen that Ala
mOgordo is seeking. How many
of us, when leaving our own town
would have said of us what the
Benton County Republican, of
Corvallis, says of Mr.. Oren. The
Republican has to say of our new
fellow townsman.
1T is with regret that the
scores of close friends of this re-
spected couple see them leave
Corvallis, the town in which
they have made their home for
the past sixteen years.
Mr.. Oren and his estimable
wife came to this city when the
town was much smaller than it
is at present. They became the
owners of considerable realty,
and by rugged honesty and ster-
ling worth built up reputation
for respectability that is excell-
ed by few people. Mr.. Oren
was so highly regarded that his
word was considered fully as
good as his bond, and in his re-
moval from this place Corvallis
loses one Of her best citizens,
and Alamogordo is to be congrat-
ulated upon gaining him and his
wife as residents. However, we
hope the longing for the Villa
mette valley will become SO
great that they will return"

tlOn January
EVERY FARMER IS URGED TO ATTEND

The most important event in
Alamogordo's recent series of
agricultural projects, not excep-
ting the organization of the Ala
mogordo Fruit Growers associa-
ton and its pledge to plant 300
acres of cantaloupes the coming
season, is the information that
Professor J. d. Tinsley, soil ply
sicist, field expert and superin-
tendent of Institutes of the New
Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, will arrive
in AlamogOrdo on Tuesday. Jan
uary {, 1908, for the purpose Of
organizing a farmers institute,
which, it is intended, will en-
brace all the farmers of the Ala
mogordo valley.
This will be the first visit of
Professor Tinsley or any other
expert from the Agricultural
college, and to prophesy that he
will be welcomed heartily and
that the attendance at the meet
ing will be larger than that of
the Fruit Growers association a
short time ago, will be stating
it mildly.
Professor Tinsley comes at the
urgent request of the Business
Mems club and the Alamogordo
Fruit Growers association. The
organization of the institute and
the expert advice which he will
give and expert tests OF soil
which he will make, in addition
to a special talk on cantaloupe
culture, irrigation and prepara-
tion of soil, is going to cause the
farmers to rcdouble their efforts,
concentrate their energy, and
begin an era of intelligent and
industrious cultivation.
Every farmer, fruit raiser,
stockman, poultry fancier, and
the business man especially
should attend the meeting at
the Business Mems club rooms
on January I, at s p. m, at
which time the institute will be
organized.
After completing his work IL

will 60 to Carrizozo, where he
will organize an institute on

EXACT CANTALOUPE FIGURES
Cost Of CultIVatIns 20 Acres, $500;
Yield In Dollars, $500.
CONTRACTS NOW READY FOR SIGNATURES

The AlamOg0rdo Fruit Grow-
ers' association will hold a meet
ing Saturday evening at s o'clock
at the Business Mems club,
when |. d. Todd, field expert of
Lyon Bros, will be present to
give minute instructions regard
ing the three-hundred acre can
taloupe crop that the association
will plant next spring.
Mr.. Todd has devoted the
past sixteen years exclusively
to the raising of cantaloupes and
his instructions and advice will
be given as a rusult of long ac-
tual experience, eliminating all
theory and experiment.
The News. secured from Mr..
Todd some very Interesting data
that heretofore has not been
published, which gives prospec-
tive melon growers some definite
and accurate information upon
which they may base their cal
culatiOns, not, however, taking
the figures as an assurance or
guarantee of what they may
expect, but showing what has
actually been accomplished by
others in the Rocky Ford, Colo,
cantaloupe district.
The principal point that Mr..
Todd desires to impress firmly
upon the minds of those intend.
ing to plant cantaloupes, is that
preconceived ideas or expert.
ments should be wholly aban
doned and each should follow
literally the rules that Lyon
Bros, will give through theil
field experts.
Under proper and scientific
cultivation and irrigation the
general yield from a twenty-acre
field would show about the fol
lowing results.
The cost of plowing, cultiva
tion, planting and labor for irri
CATION will average $25 an acre
The cost of picking, packing
crates and hauling to station
will run to $50 an acre. Thu!
the whole cost of the crop from
preparation to delivery for TWEEN
ty acres would be 81, 800, with
out the cost of water for irri
tion.
The returns from the twent!
acres can now be considered OF
the following basis.
Twenty acres should produc'
1000 crates of cantaloupes, u
per cent of which should be th'
standard size, the balance beinI
ponies" or smaller melons
With the facilities that Lyol
Bros. have for marketing tn,

per crate should be realized b,
the growers. This gives the to
tai gross sum received for th'
melons as $1,000, for the twent,
acres, and, deducting the entir
cost of production, exclusive o
water, which was $500, We tin'
; the net profit to the grower t
