times during the time which
elapsed between start and finish.
And what a finish for the bur-
ros and the crowd. But every
body was pleased and the News
handicap burro race was a sue
cess and will hereafter be an an
nual event.
The quarter.mile handicap for
a purse of 800 was won by Mes
ser's "Streak" in driving fin
ish, Apache Boy pushing him
closely. Both horses were in
perfect condition and ran a fast
quarter. This is the second time
Messers' horse has defeated the
Indian pony and local horsemen
concede that he is the best horse
in the valley. The Taylor horse
was not entered, his owner re-
fusing to agree to the weight as
signed.
After the regular races a match
race was run between the Mes
ser horse and the Taylor horse
for $25 a side, the Messer horse
winning in walk.
An exciting and interesting
exhibition of horsemanship was
Frank Adcock's clever riding of
an outlaw horse owned by l..
Bates. For the short time the
exhibition lasted it furnished
much amusement for the crowd.
The judges of the races were
Sheriff Denney and Messrs. Tes-
son and Douglas.

Notwithstanding the usual
evil effects of series of failures
of mismanaged saving institu-

stringency resulting from with

the demoralizing effect which
this unsettled financial condi-

statement that the First Nation
al bank of Alamogordo has

cessfully that $4,000 has been
passed to the surplus fund, max
ing a total of $12, 900, and this
in addition to having paid the
regular semi-annual dividend,
will be gratifying news to the
citizens of Otero county and the

The experimental we'll being

is progressing more slowly than
expected owing to certain diff

the caving of the side walls of

Friday the we'll was down 130
feet, the water in the pipe hav-

SAMPLE ROOMS FOR

The large number of travelling

Kansas City and middle west
cities, who carry full lines of
samples, and who sell to Alamo
gordo merchants, has convinced
George Weigele, who conducts
the st. Elmo hotel, that "a sample
room, where travelling men could
display their samples should be
provided. With this demand in
view Mr.. Weigele has arranged
to erect a building 20x50 feet
on the south side of the st. Elmo
hotel, which will be specially
constructed and lighted for ex-
hibiting the wares of travelling
men. Work will soon be com
menced.

Manufacture Ice.
WORKS ON NINTH STREET NEAR a. R.

Alamogordo is to have an ad-
ditional ice factory, which will
be built Immediately and ready
for operation in April next.
A stock company has been Or
ganized with Levi 0reh as prin-
cipal stockholder, tho remaining

The plant will be built on the
railroad near Ninth street, the
company having purchased lot 3

joining lots. A building will be
erected Of adobe, this material
forming perfect insulation for
the purpose intended. NJ. H.

and in perfect running shape.
The plant will have a daily

RECEIVERFOR IRRIGATIONCO.
Number Of Local Business Men Connected
With Project.
HAS BEEN EXPECTED FOR SOME TIME

]. w. Tompson, an attorney of
Alamogordo, on Thursday was APP
pointed by Judge Mann as receiver
for the Sacramento Valley Irriga-
ton company, which concern for
some time has been carrying on pre-
lininary work on an irrigation
project 80 miles south of Alamo
gordo, which at different times
was stated would irrigate from 90
900 to 100000 acres of land, and
which also included the building of
a town which had been laid out
and which was to have been called
Sacramento City.
For several months this irrigation
company has rocked between a re-
ceivership and success, part Of the
officers and directors pulling one
way, while the remainder pulled the
other.
A short time ago a directors
meeting was held in Alamogordo,
at which time some ugly stories of
mismanagement and extravaganza
were circulated, and as a result
work on the project was suspended
and the company reorganized.
Later, DR., Bulls, Of Topeka, Kas.,
who was president, rendered his
resignation and R. G. Mullen, who
is a we'll known Orogrande promo
ter, was elected president.
The greatest amount of secrecy
has surrounded the affairs of this
company for some time, it being
impossible to ascertain the amount
of work completed on the project
and at no time have those locally
connected with the project been will
ing to discuss the proceedings of
the recent stormy meeting.
The news that the concern had
been placed in the hands of receiv-
er did not come as a surprise, for
this action was threatened several
months ago.
The company was capitalized at
81, 100000 and over 100000 has
already been sunk in the project.
The stockholders are composed of
investors from Missouri, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and a few
from New Mexico.
The present officers of the compa-
ny are r. G. Mullen, president; X.
r. Wade, of Orogrande, secretary
and treasurer; and Oliver Lee, Chas
Mitchell and w. E. Carp, directors,
the latter acting as general mana
ger and constructing engineer.

GONE TO THE RACES"
Everybody Went to the Races Monday
but MAUD"
MESSER'S STREAK" WINS BOTH EVENTS

Gone to the Races" was the
printed notice tackled on the
front doors of fthe business houses
Monday afternoon. Everybody
was there: the babies, the boys
and girls, the men and women
who came on foot, on horseback,
in farm wagons and buggies,
from miles around. 1t was a
typical western crowd. typical
western scene, a typical Alamo
gordo day. Cowboys, Mexicans,
Indians and business men on
horse eback, with lariats, and
spurs, and chaps. and quirts,
moving in and out, the mesquite
in the rear showing a gradual
rise to the foothills, with the
mountains as a frame, formed a
kaleidoscope western picture
which will not soon be forgotten.
The News handicap burro race
was first on the card and first in
the minds of the boys and girls
and women. Mr.. Casteldine
dropped the flag to perfect
start at exactly 2:15 p. IN. and
started the burros on their quar-
ter-mile journey with their re-
spective loads of human freight.
Sometime before 3 p. m. the
line was crossed by the burros
and riders in the following order:
Baby" with James Hoy up;
Little Jenny" with Leonard
Hudnell up; and Mack" with
Julius Olsen up. The "Immor-
tai Maud" entered by Joe Ros-
coe, failed to arrive in time for
the start. 1t was any mules
race at any stage of the course,
the winner at one time being 80
yards i'll the rear and headed
through the mesquite bushes for
the mountains. And what
pounding and kicking those bur
ros received! At the finish one
of the boy riders YEARLY drop
ped a two-foot section of two-by-
four with which he had played a
tattoo on his steed's
head throughout the race. The
winner of the race possessed
stronger leg action than his rivals,
having driven his spurs into the
flanks of his burro exactly 1890

W WH0LES0ME CANDY
NOW MADE IN ALAMO

Alamogordo is to be congratu-
lated upon the fact that excel
lent candy is now made right
here in town, insuring freshness
and purity.
Mrs. NJ. E. WelIman has en-
gagged in the manufacture of fine
candies, including chocolates,
bon bons, ETC., and it can be
said truthfully that the candies
produced by Mrs. Wellman are
not only as good, but better than
will be found on sale in large
cities. These candies are made
fresh daily, and are on sale at
Mrs. Bemis' millinery store on
Tenth street east of bank build
ing.
