sunny curls and an exqulsitely modu-

The Pa..ing Of Courtroom or.tory

Inspiration is a lost art In the court
room. Nowadays no true lawyer ad-
vises, prepares documents or tries a
case without a careful preparation.
Forensic oratory has passed away. No
longer does the crowd gather In the
county courthouse to listen to and be
moved by the wit, pathos and elo-
quence of the advocate as for hours or
days he addresses the jury. The court
room may be filed, but 1t is largely

dalt and diversified crops in thai
country without irrigation, and farm
ers are taking possession of the state
lands. In eastern New Mexico the
anne thing is true.
1t is 270 miles between the Texas
& Pacific railroad and the Pecos Val
ley line across the panhandle, and
all this immense area is without a
railroad nearer than these two. Coal
is freighted by wagon many days ira
vel into county seats of several thou
sand people, and the cost and difficult
ty of getting fuel may be imagined:
the people have in the past burned
corn when coal and wood could not
be had. These people are not only put
to it to obtain wnat they need, but
they cannot get to market what they
raise.
Here, then, is obviously the plan
that Ell Pasoans should work on-a
through line to the east, by way of
the Pecos Valley and Oklahoma, over
the shortest possible route, important
points in the Pecos country. Such a
project would develop profitable ton
mage from the start, it is safe to as
sumo, and it ought not to be very hard
to enlist capital in it, once the pre-
liminaries are properly attended to.

Mhere AlfaIfa came Erom.

There died at Topeka, Kansas, a
few years ago. Hartman Parkman, al
the g of 20 years. A short notice
of his death tslegraphed to the world
the claim that he had been the first
to bring alfalfa seed from South Am
erica and introduce it's culture in the
United States. There is no corrobora
ton of the statement possible, but
ne claim is weakened to some extent
by the credited origin of forage
plant. 1t is an importation from
Switzerland, not from South America.
Whether Parkman was the first
to bring the see to this country, or
wnoever it was, a place in fame should
await him. A greater factor in the
transition of the western farming sec
lions of earth it would be impossible
to name. To have been responsible
for its Introductory is to have done
one of the grea services to mankind
and whoever it was is entitled to re
cognition.
The progress of alfalfa across the
continent is popularity understood to
have begun in California, although
there are those who claim that it
started il Utan and credited Brigham
Young with it's introduction. Colora-

EFFECT OF SALTON SEA
nN nIIR 81 MAT


During the last eighteen months and
especially throughout the summer
months of last season, at a time when
| the Panhandle of Texas, northeastern
New Mexico, western Il central Ok
lahoma and southern Kansas, were
usually visited by hot winds, which,
in a few hours burned to a crisp all
vegetation. the conditions were SO ra-
Ideally changed by an abundance OF
rainfall that his section of the west
has undergone an evolution all its
own.
The change has been attributed to
the extensive cultivation of this por-
ton of the country in recent years.
The final solution, however, and what
seems to be the most plausible, from
every standpoint, is the of
the Salto1 Sea.
BY those who have studied the mat
ter, his belief is almost universally
held.
Two Drought Years.
In the years 1887 and 1888, prior
to the first opening of Oklahoma, all
of western Oklahoma, northern and
western Texas, and eastern elew Mex
leo and southern Kansas suffered from
the hot winds in the summer. So
terrible il its work of destruction was
the hot wind which would sweep ev-
erything in its path, that the entire
work of one season, at least would
be lost.
In the two years of 1887 and 1888
vegetation of all kinds il the country
named was utterly ruined. This was
before the first break in the Colorado
river, where now is the Salton sea..
When the first appearance of this
body of water occurred in 1889, tho
-~.1 - - H.
err the country mentioned was noticed.
This relief, however, was only tenn
porary. The hot winds from the Pa
cifc country in blowing over this
small inland sea, o absorbed all
the water, and in a snort time lit al
most disappeared.
But since the last break in the Col
orado river caused two years ago
by the digging of a canal, and the
rapid formation of this sea, h winds
have gathered the moisture from it
and later to be deposited in rain ov-
er the previously barren tracts of LAND
Persons VINO saw the change in the
country attributed it to cultivation
and made a rush for the country.
Remarkable though it may seem,
portions of western Oklahoma where
during the time from the first of June
to late fall, usually there was not
enough rain to lay the dust, heavy
ain fell last summer every week.
The same is true of the Texas Pan
handle AID eastern New Mexico.
All of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory have een benefited by the in
crease in rainfall during the las Is
months, the cause of which as claim
ed bv those who have given the mat
ter diligent consideration, is none 9TH

the fact that nearly all the rains
