Jackson Lumber Interests Sold.

Mrs. A. p. Jackson left Wednes-
day morning for FL Paso where
she closed a deal whereby she sold
the Jackson estate interest in the
lumber firm of Jackson Galbraith-
Foxworth which firm has upwards
of a dozen yards scattered in Tex
as, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
The deal has been pending for a
month or more. Mrs. Jackson felt
that her interest in the business
would require more Of her time
than she could spare from her fam
ily and that it would be advisable
to sell to the other members of the
firm.
The consideration is said to have
been upwards of 100000. Mrs
Jackson will retain her several
business and residence properties
in Almogordo and make this her
home. - Otero County Advocate.

most notable speech of the first day
of the session was given by Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks, who spoke of the
work of the government In support
of irrigation. He told of the opposition
that developed to the governments
undertaking this work when it was
first proposed, how it was finally over
come, and of the great benefits which
had resulted from the work since it's
inception. He said in part:
"The suggestion that the govern
ment should participate in the work
Oh irrigation awakened some Opposi-
tion among those who had given little
thought to it and who failed to realize
it's tremendous possibilities. I look
upon no incident of my public service
with more satisfaction than the sup
port which I gave to the reclamation
act upon the statute books. The meas
ure now speaks for itself. It's critics
have become it's supporters, and the
marvel of it all is that it's virtues were

of the palace presented a festive ap-
pearance with it's streamers of vari-
GUS hues and gaily lettered banners
and notices. Over the speakers plat
form were the words, Science Bids
the Desert Drink" and on the walls
in a conspicuous manner, the Wash
ington delegation called attention to
the desire of Walla Walla to have the
next congress held there.
The congress opened with the "Irri-
cation Ode" which was rendered by
200 members of the Ogden Tabernacle
choir. Mayor Beard, of Sacramento,
then delivered the address of welcome
on behalf of the city, and was fol-
lowed by Governor Gillette, of Cali
fornia, who welcomed the delegates
to the state. The response in behalf
of the congress was given by Governor
Chamberlain, of Oregon. Probably the

prior thereto produced nothing but
sage brush. The most unproductive
land has become the most fertile.
From the worst, it takes rank as the
best. 1t is hard to find anywhere more
apparently unproductive land than
that which is occupied by sage brush,
and no more beautiful harvests are
gathered than those which this same
forbidding land produces when
touched by the vitalizIng influence of
irrigation. There are promising fields
today where there was no sign of
habitation before we entered upon the
present reclamation policy, and what
is being done is but prophetic of what
we shall accomplish if we faithfully
adhere to the policy upon which we
have entered and carry it out to the
limits of it's possibilities.

perimental stage, and it only remains
to push the work wherever feasible

"The development of irrigation by

interrupted owing to lack of material,

to completion as fast as possible This
new road is known as the Wicken-
burg cut-off and will open up a rich
mining country that is already at
tracing the attention OF local and
Eastern capitalists.
L is being built west from Wicken-
burg, Ariz.. to Amboy. Cal, a distance
of 200 miles, and will be a part of
the Santa Fe system.
The line is being built by the Phoe-

by that road, which is controlled by

construction has been let to the con-
tracing firm of Grant. which has
graded the road from Wickenburg to

great power. Always deep through the
heart, which gave him his wonderful
endurance he has developed enormous
quarters and massive muscles.
Salvidere is in a degree a chance
horse and is a living example of the un-
certainties of breeding racehorses. He
was bred by the late Captain S. S.
Brown, the Pittsburg turfman, who
owned his dam, Sallie of Navarro. The
latter had been failure in the stud.
but her owner was prevailed upon to
breed her to Belvidere. Salvidere was
the result of this union and he was far
from being a promising youngster as a
yearling.
He was disappointment in looks and
in his early trials failed to show any
great turn of speed. In addition he de-
veloped weak ankles and was source
of much annoyance to his trainer, Rob-
ert Tucker. Salvidere attracted the at
tention of that shrewd horseman, John
E Madden, who pronounced him horse
of marked quality. In his maiden effort

Salvidere closed up a gap of six lengths
on Fountainblue through the short
stretch at Brighton Beach.
This performance so impressed Mad
den that when the gelding was offered
at auction he secured him for $500.
Under the care of the noted Kentucky
trainer the great two-year- -old never
suffered defeat, placing nearly $4,000
to the credit of his owner. Madden de-
tected SaIvidere's weak points. his an
kles and feet, soon after he had him in
his barn. He fitted him with set of
aluminium plates. which relieved much
of the pressure and pain on the hoofs.
Salvidere has been entered in the
Suburban and the Brighton handicaps,
which indicates that Madden and T.
Hitchcock Jr., who own him, believe
that he can hold his own with Burgo-
master and the other aged horses in
the handicap division. Should he per-
form up to their expectations he will
be entitled to rank with the mighty
Hamburg. which is the highest praise
that can be given him.

RAISES 4 ROW IN
HOTEL LOBBY

Because Percy Van Dyck. clerk in
the Majestic Hotel refused to hand
over another mans letter on demand
J. P. Rittenhouse. reputed to be min
ing man of Goldheld, who arrived al
the hostelry two weeks ago. became
boisterous in the lobby of the hotel
and brought an emphatic request for
his departure.
Incensed that the management in
sisted upon the prompt payment of a
bill for one weeks board. Rittenhouse
entered the hotel yesterday afternoon
I'm a mood to raise a distur bance, but
at the conclusion of his interview with
Van Dyck and Chief Clerk r. H Cat
ley he took his baggage in tow and
departed.
At the end 'ef-last week Galley, ac-
cording to custom, sent Rittenhouse
a bill for the weeks lodging This
bill and a second was ignored, and
yesterday Galley had Rittenhouse's s
baggage removed to the storeroom In
default Of payment and locked up the
room he had occupied.
Rittenhouse appeared and requested
a letter addressed to another man.
in a rage the delinquent guest ap-
pealed TO Galley. who sustained Van
Dycks action. Rittenhouse then de-
manded his bill and was informed that
it had been rendered twice. After
raging up and down the office for sew
eral minutes the disgruntled mining
man settled the bill and removed his
effects from the hotel.
