Cy in a PrsdIcunent

Cy Hoslcins, one of our most promi- nent and respected citizens, had a em- barassing and humiliating experience to happen him late Monday afternoon this week. Cy had been working hard in the hayfeld most all day, and when he finally finished shocking his hay about s o'clock he was all hot and sweat up and uncomfortable Tn Snake Creek, right back of Cy's house, is cool deep pool, and Cy thought it would refresh him good deal to take plunge in this pool, SO he goes down and takes of his clothes in the shade and jumps into the water and splashes around at a great rate Ill by hisself.
 Cy caikilated he remained in the water about IS minutes when he come out on shore to put his clothes on and discovered to his consternatjon that there wasn't any clothes to put on, be- ing as Bud Hinkley, who aint quite right in his head, and had been fishing down the creek below where Cy went in, had snuck up the creek, grabbed Cys clothes and made of with them just for a joke. When Cy, saw Bud running down the creek with his clothes he said things which if we printed them here would injure Cy's standing as a member of the Bingville church. Cy hollered to Bud as loud as he could holler, but Bud only run the faster. Just then he herd team ap- preaching on the road opposite the side of the creek, and not being in a posi- ton to greet strangers as you might say. Cy jumpt back into the pool where he remained until after the team had past with nothing but his head pro- truding. To make long story short, Cy had to remain in the pool until darkness fell, when he made his way from the creek to his house to find that supper had been waiting for him about 5 hours, and that his wife had been all over Bingville trying to find what had become of him. Cy hasn't got his clothes back yet and Bud won't tell where he has hid them. Cy seys that any person like Bud Hinkley who aint quite right in there head is men ace to Bingviile.

By foilering up the light the crowd which had now ceast to be alarmed discovered at the end of the string by which the kite was pulled in little Andy Andrews and Her man Hepburn, respective sons of Deacon Andrews and Bill Hepburn who had put up the kite at night with the red lantern at it's tail just for lark. Bill and Dea- con each administered sound thrash ing to their respective offsprings on the spot, and then the crowd disperst and re- turned to their various homes in deep sdiscust.

While Deacon Andrews, who returned Cy Hoskins the $l0, seys that unless cy gives it back to him he will prosecute him to the full extent of the law.

srisAt-srsssy-DsIlle0se-BustlIa

Last week Snide Petersby made trip to the County Seat on busi- ness and pleasure. mostly pleasure and while there got holt of a old copy of a city newspaper so that he could read what was going on in the outside world as you might say. The next day after Snide re- turned home he put on his specs and set down on his front piazzer and begin to read the news. It was about 9:30 a. m. when Snide bust into the Bugle office with the pa- per clencht in his hand and showed us in black and white print where Taft had been nominated for Pres ident of the U. S. by the republi- cans and Bryan for the same office by the democrats. This was big news to us being as we hadn't herd nothing about it, and we cal- kilate 1t will be a surprise to those of our subscribers who haven't al- ready been told about it by Snide who spread the news all over Bing- vile concerning these nominations.
 During the past few days we have been asked on many occasions weather the Bugle would support Taft or Bryan for President, if either. We desire to say in reply that we have not as yet made up our mind on that point, and will not do SO until we can confer with the campaign committee of both parties which has charge of the distribution of funds. Whether the Bugle consciensiously supports Taft or Bryan will depend a good deal on how much the campaign
 managers are willing to spend for said support. For instance, if the republican party would offer to pay us $50 for boosting Taft, we could not consciensiously do so pro- viding Bryan's managers would of fer us $1e0 for doing the same thing. There was a time in the history of the Bugle when it was stanch republican paper of un- swerving fidelity to the republican party. but by and by we found that
 1nswerving fidelity to the republi- can party didn't pay us as we'll as unswerving fidelity to the democrat party, so the Bugle therefore be- came a stanch democrat organ to say nothing of being populistic one year and digging for prohibition another. Because of this change able policy we have been accused of being fkel in our political affil- iations, but we desire to say in our defence, we find it more profitable

ESTHNCIH WILEY SENDS
EXHIBIT TO ALBUQUERQUE
DSDay Farm Products and Garden Truck for Territorial Fair
Comprised Of lmmCnStiGS and MOnstrosites Grown
in the EstanCid Vd6g without Artificial
Irritation

The Estancia Valley will be
well represented at the Terri
torial Fair and Irrigation Con
gress to be held at Albuquerque
next week and the week follow
ing. The valleyites were a little
slow in getting things started in
arranging for a display, but af
ter once started, they made
things hum in the way for which
they have been noted. While
most Of the exhibits at the Con-
gress will have been grown I'M
der irrigation, together with the
advantages of the soil in the old
er settled portions of the terri
tory having been worked longer
and consequently in a better de-
gree of tilth, they will have to be
exceedingly enormous to surpass
what will be on display there
from the Famous Estancia Val
ley Each year since an exhibit
has been made at the Territorial
Fair at Albuquerque from the
Valley, we have been successful
in carrying off first honors, even
in competition with the irrigated
and older sections, and the dis
play this year is larger, better,
and more varied than ever be-
fore.
On Tuesday afternoon, ameet-
ing Of the business men and
farmers interested was held, and
named to arrange for
the collection of the products,
arranging, classification, and
transportation. By a vote Of
those present, G. II. Bagley was
chosen to take charge of the eX-
hibit and be in charge of the
same during the whole Of the
Congress. The store room south
of the postoffice was secured as
temporary headquarters, and as
exhibits were brought in, they
were there tagged and arranged.
Mcintosh, Willard, Moriarty,
Mountainair and Lucy will also
send over exhibits, which will be
arranged under the Estancia Val
ley Exhibit. AS part of his eX-
hibit are several individual exhib-
it's, which will also compete for
the Individual prizes and prem
iums. The space that was awarded
to Torrance County or thaVal-
ley will be none too large to accom-
odate the display, and the whole
should and will prove a splendid

M6XiCO'S
Military Band
Will be attraction at Albuquerque
during Fair and
Congress

Mr.. Ira G. Cartwright, special
envoy of the Board of Control Of
the coming Sixteenth National
Irrigation Congress to be held at
Albuquerque, N. M, Sept. 29-
Oct. 10 inclusive, who went to
Mexico City and Chihuahua to
secure the services of a Military
band to represent our sister Re-
public, reports a most cordial re-
ception at the hands of the Off
cials of Mexico, whom it was his
pleasure to meet.
Bearing a letter of introduction
from Ambassador Governor Hen
ry C. Creel of Chihuahua and
Washington to General Manuel
Gonzales Cosio, Secretary of
War and Navy, he secured from
President Porfirio Diaz the Fa-
nous Chihuahua Band of the
Eighteenth Battalion of the Mex
lean Army, for the whole season
of two weeks General Cosio gra-
ciously added three extra musi-
clans to strengthen the Band"
as he remarked, although it is al
ready of a very high grade.
Teniente Pedro A. Nieva, the
act )mplished leader of the Band
will not be new altogether to the
United States, because it was he
who so ably conducted the Band
which left such favorable i'm
preston of Mexico's musical tai
ent at the San Antonio exposition
in 1900.
Much IS expected from the fa-
nous Eighteenth on this occasion
as it is to be one Of the chief
attractions of the Irrigation
Congress, all Of which will be
realized, of course. For, as Mr..
Cartwright remarked in his let
ter to the Board of Control, from
Chihuahua, when he was receiv-
ing the kindly attention of Cover
nor Creel, General de la Vega,
and Colonel Valdes;
The Mexican people never dc
anything by halves, especially
when competing for highest hon
ors in promoting internationa
good fellowship and in providing
good music. "

being done in the Estancia Valley
With the thousands of visitors
coming to the Congress from the
eastern states, who imagine, not
knowing better, that all the agri-
culture that is being done in New
| Mexico is in small patches along
the winding streams under irriga
ton; when there is water in the
streams, the display from here,
grown almost entirely without
irrigation, will be an eye-opener
and will turn many eyes toward
the already famous valley-the
Garden spot of New Mexico.
To try to name each individual
product in the display, would
take the whole of an edition of
the News, and take more time
than we have now. Just to give
an idea of what a big thing we
are sending over, we will name a
few items. Sylvester Spore has
three large squashes, which
weigh So, 81 and 63 pounds res
pectively, an average weight Of
So 2-3 pounds. Mr.. Riley has
three pumpkins which weigh GA,
81 IL and A pounds, an average
weight Of a little more than 53
pounds. Mr.. Hightower has an
exhibit Of everything from onion
seed to a bale Of alfalfa. He has
several kinds Of potatoes. OF one
kind he has one single potatoe
which weighs just three and one
half pounds. Of this same class
he has seven which weigh just
fifteen pounds or a peck. His dis
pla, ,npkins, squash,
field corn, sweet corn, a dozen
varieties of beans, oats, onions,
onion sets, wheat, watermelon,
tomatoes, cabbage, caulif1ower,
beets, sugar beets, mangel Wur-
eel, alfalfa, etc. J G. Weaver
shows sunfoWers averaging a
little over sixteen inches in dia-
meter. M, L. Lippard has turnips
weighing as high as ten pounds
each. There is cane eight feet,
eight inches in height; oats, six
feet, six inches; millet, four feet,
nine inches; broom corn eight feet
nine inches; field corn ears, ele-
ven inches long; radishes, a doz-
en- of which weigh twelve pounds;

twelve and a half inches in cir
cumfefence; red beets nineteen
