The Wind-Up Of the Cedar Post.

1t will not be very long, that the
cedar fence post, which at one time
was king of the canyon breaks, will
be something of the past and forgot
ten.
For the last five years the cedar
post was cut and shipped out of here
by the car loads. This shipping out
business should be stopped as the
new comers will be the ones who will
suffer and who will have to pay for
same dearly, when they will want to
fence their farms. This thing should
be watched a little, very few around
here realize the danger ahead in this
wholesale shipping out of the cedar
post.

New Mexico.

There has been an almost unprece-
dented increase in population during
the past year. More than 100, 900
homestead filings on over two and
one-half million acres were made. 1t
is significant that this increase in the
agricultural population is not to any
great extent in the river valleys, but
is along the mesas, which until
recently had been given up entirely to
grazing. This fact is due to the sue
cess of the dry farming method. If
this proves an ultimate success, it is
estimated that nearly 50,000,000 acres
of land in New Mexico will be avail
able for it.
The population of the territory is
now estimated at almost. 400, 006, a
gain of nearly 100 per cent since 1907.

ject seems to be not enough of wells
with water. The drillers seem to be a
little scarce and slow in their pro-

to meet the demand at present. AL
though we can proudly boast of hav-
ing more wells with water than any

Take No Chances Fence Your Farms

The present laws of our statute do
not seem to be broad enough for. the
protection of the farmer against the
trespass of cattle upon cultivated fields,
they need to be revised, so as to pro-
tect the farmer and citizen against any
kind of trespass at all times and not
at present. The law of today simply
protects the farmer during crop season.
Cattle are running around town doing
damage, upsetting water barrels and
getting into feed lots, the owners don't
seem to worry, but we wish to inform
the public that damages done by a COW
can be collected at any time of the year.

The Time to Advertise.

There is no money in business un-
less goods are constantly on the move.
A store which carries the same stock
from one end of the month to the other
is not profitable investment. The
only way in which to make money is
to keep things moving, and this can
only be done by making the public
realize that you have something for
sale at prices which will draw the
money from the hiding places. No
man or woman is ready to allow bar
gains to pass unnoticed bargains
will'at all times win the cash. and the
only way to accomplish this is to let
the public know what you have to
offer. The successful business man is
he who at all times succeeds in reach-
ino the public. To do that it is neces-
carv to use the mediums which people
read and which are ever before their
ewes. The Spanish-American is the
one means by which advertisers are
sure to reach the people OF this COM
munity.
