ROCKY FODDO AND OUT WOOL MARKET SUGGESTED
GLAMOGOROO SURE TO TAKE ITS PLACE

Some members of the Alamo
gordo Fruit Growers association
were a little uncertain regarding
the conflict of shipping dates in
connection with the Rock Ford
district, but the representatives,
of Lyon Bros. assured all grow
ers that the entire melon crop
from AlamogOrdo would undoubt-
edly be shipped.
The explanation is simple
when the actual facts are known,
which the following article from
the Greedy Colorado Tribune sets
forth in detail. The whole truth
is that the Rocky Ford district
is rapidly playing out as a can
taloupe country and Alamogordo
is surely destined to take the
place of Rocky Ford.
Prof. II. NJ. Cottrell of the
Colorado State Agricultural Col
lege in an address before the
Greedy Farmers Institute made
the following statement regard
ing the trouble with cantaloupe
raising at Rocky Ford:
In this connection Prof. Cot
trell mentioned the troubles of
the melon growers at Rocky
Ford. This industry has prac-
tically been destroyed there by
a sort of blight of the plants that
killed the vines. The growers
and agricultural experiment sta
tion have been working on a So
luton of the trouble, and in 60
ing over the wasted fields found
one plant only that stood up
green and strong in 16O acre
patch of brown, bIighted vines.
From this small beginning
new strain of melon is being de-
veloped that it is believed will
mean a greater melon industry
than ever in the Arkansas Val
ley. He mentioned that likely
the farmers of this section would
have to resort to a similar means
in finding disease resisting alfal-
ia, which in the past few years
has suffered some from blight"

TROUT RAISING At ALAMO
N. n. Woods VIII Embark In New Indus
try on Ms Mountain Ranch.
CONDITIONS PERFECT FOR THE SCHEME

The opportunities that exist
in the Alamogordo valley for an
industrious man are gradually
being appreciated and taken ad-
vantage of, the latest one having
been realized by W. II. Woods,
who has been in the town since
the first day the site of Alamo
gOrdo was selected by c. b.
Eddy ten years ago. Mr.. Woods
conceived the idea that the rails
ing of brook trout in great quaint
tiles would be a paying and per-
manent undertaking, and quietly
went to work collecting all Of
the available data upon the sub
ject. After months Of careful
Investigation he has definitely
decided that there is more sure
money i'll trout than in cattle
and has made his arrangements
accordingly.
Mr.. Woods owns Il place of
14O acres up III the Sacramento
mountains, about eight miles
due east of and at least 1000
feet above Alamogordo, and
flowing through his place is the
Alamo creek, mountain stream
of pure cold water. The loca-
tiOn of the Woods place is ad-
mirably adapted for trout raising,
being small level tract nestled
among the mountain tops, where
the waiter from the Alamo
springs is almost ice cold the
year round, and where the trout
lakes will be undisturbed, both
contributing largely to the sue
cess Of the undertaking.
Mr., Woods will construct the
breeding and Matching beds, the
boxes and safety devices neces
sary, and will start with hatch
ing of 100000 Ide eggs which
will be secured in Colorado, and
shipped to Alamogordo in
specially prepared box crates of
peculiar design, but insuring the
safe arrival of the trout eggs.
Alamogordo will probably get
few of the mountain trout when,
a year hence they are beginning
to be marketed, as the better
class of hotels and cafes in FL
PasO and the many dining car
routes, will take every trout
that Mr.. Woods can furnish at a
price of from 40 to 80 cents Il
pound.
Mr.. Woods deserves the sue
cess that will surely follow his
undertaking, as he has had the
foresight and business initiative
to blaze the way ON an untrod-
den trail.

slip quietly out and trade it for
a mountain brook. If his dig
gings run down to the mother
lode of the Golconda gold reef
or are sunk through a thousand
feet of black clay, stuck as full
of big diamonds as a fruitcake
Of currants, let him hurry to ex-
change 1t for the title-deeds to a
modest waterfall-and pay what
he must to boot.
1t will take speed and shrewd-
ness to get either of these bar
gains, for the slow world is fast
waking to the fact that H2O iva
teri is vastly the most valuable
and precious mineral discovered
on this planet, since first our
long-haired ancestor Clipped a
chunk of flint into semblance Of
an aX-head and taught'the sabre
toothed tiger that man plus
metal is the divinely.ordained
boss Of animated nature.
Since the glacial epoch the
Rio Las Animas has been run
ming wild down the steep slopes
of the Needle mountains, twen-
ty miles north of Durango, Colo
RADIO. Beginning up near its
source, where the river is only a
mountain trout brook, hydraulic
engineers built wooden box,
eight feet wide and six feet high
without top. They carried this
box on trestles across mountain
gorges and on shelves gouged
out of the shoulders of steep
peaks for distance of ten miles
to the far end of the Cascade
gorge. In the other end of the
gorge they drove a ninety-foot
wedge, blocking the exit. At
the bottom of this great dam
they started their four-foot steel
pipe, which runs two miles
across the mountain country to
the top of the Durango cliff.
Then they turned the Las Ami
mas into the wooden box.
And today, rushing into tur-
bine wheel at the bottom of the
Durango cliff, the mountain
trout brook develops forty thou
sand horsepower, which is in
stantly available anywhere with
in a radius of two hundred miles
at the end of "a copper wire the
size of ones thumb.
Some forty miles northeast of
Tacoma, WASH, the Snoqualmie
river drops over a fall sixty feet
in height. That comparatively
modest fall has been harnessed
up to turbines, and, at the far
ends of wires which spread over
all that corner of the state like
the strands of a spider web, it is
doing work the mere statement
of which takes the breath and
leaves the owner of the largest
coal deposits standing like a
pauper in the midst of his rapid
ly decreasing wealth.

SILVER CREEK. Neb.. Sept. ITO the
Editor OF The Bee; As observing men have
long foreseen. the dominant issue In the
campaign in Nebraska this fall, so far as
the Legislature Is concerned. is to be the
question Of county option. This issue has
been forced upon us by the Anti-saloon
league, andN for my part l am quite ready
to meet It,.
As openly proclaimed by Mrs. Armor.
county option Is only a step, and Is meant
to be only a step, to state wide prohibition,
and to that l am eternally opposed. I am
not opposed to prohibition because I care
particularly about the saloon one way or
another, but because 1 will not consent
that any men or set of men, or women,
shall dictate to me as to what I shall eat
or drink. is fundamental, and 1 will
never yield. l SELDOM drink, was never
drunk in my life, and to me II would be no
hardship IL there was not a saloon In the
state. But that is not the question. The
question is one of natural. personal right
that the state has no right to interfere
with or abridge. In all good conscience, 1
have just az good a right to drink as any
prohibition friend has to pray. and Just az
good a right to have a house in which to
drink as he has to have a house in which
10 pray.
1 am opposed TO county option, fur
Their, because 1t is destructive Of local self
government. Is It not a fair proposition
that Omaha should have a right to govern
itself without the interference OF outside
territory? Or that Lincoln should govern
itself without the interference of the farm
ers of Lancaster county? J am opposed to
county option, because the very name is
misleading and a cheat. There is no 'op-
ton" whatever In it. 1t proposes TO give
the people Of a county the right to say
they will not nave saloons, but not the
right to say they will have saloons.
1t is not my purpose, however, here to
enter into an argument on either the ques-
ton OF prohibition or county option. 1
have a practical suggestion to make to the
opponents of county option, and II is this:
In every legislative district where 1t has
happened that the candidates are both
committed to county option. as in my o~h
senatorial district, consisting of the coun-
ties OF Polk, Merrick and Nance, let those
opposed to county option confer together
without reference TO party. select a candi-
date. nominate him by petition and then
make an open, vigorous fight to the end
OF the campaign. And further: In every
legislative district where only one OF the
candidates is opposed to county option, let
every republican, democrat or populist who
is opposed to county option support that
candidate. CHARLES WOOSTER.

space in your valuable paper to the follow
ing:
/ take this occasion to express my sin
cerest thanks to those who so magnificently
stood by me at the late primaries. thus
expressing the desire to have in me a repre-
sentative on the Board of Education from
the south side OF the city. 1 am especially
gratified over the handsome pluralities
given me in the lower wards. as the repre-
sentation of a south slider was an tssue
with them when / sought my appointment
to the board a few months ago, and by
the vote given me by the lower wards at
the primaries the voters still had in view
the election of a south side man who would
represent them in the board, but which
they failed to get owing to the failure
of the upper wards to support the candi-
date from the south side. Yours very truly,
