KILLING COLD VS.. SUNSHINE
Farmers Already Cuttins First Crops Of
Nay.
FRUIT TREES ALMOST OVERBUROENEO

The dailypapers tell US of the
billiards and killing cold that
swept over the central northern
states last week, destroying mill,
lions of dollars worth of fruit
vegetables and general farm
crops, and while everyone of
course believes all that they
read in newspaper, it does
seem hard to realize that such
weather conditions can possibly
exist as are described as prevail
ing in the section named.
Compare with these billiards.
Of snow and biting cold, the
present conditions in Alamogor-
| do. We, who are fortunate
enough to live in the Alamogor-
! do valley, are now enjoying the
balmy and beautiful weather of
a real spring time: the trees are
in full leaf, the lawns are vel
vety with closely clipped bright
green grass: the fruit hangs i'll
great clusters on the almost
overburdened trees, the peaches
and plums and prunes being as
large as small eggs. The alfalfa
fields are ready for the first har-
vest, and even now one can see
the farmers hauling i'll great
loads of barley and rye that
were harvested last week. Our
| flower gardens are in full bloom,
the fragrance Of roses and hon
eysuckle pervading the air as
evening approaches, and the EN-
tire valley has that wonderful
aspect of fresh greenness and
. the fragrance of things growing,
chat is so pleasing to the senses.
And our days of sunshine and
brilliancy. What could be more
conducive to happiness and con-
tentment than the sunshiny
days, with everything in nature
growing in luXuriance and splen-
| dor. with wonderfully blue skies,
the soft invigorating breezes
from the mountains, and the
whole picture colored in those
lovely tints Of golden purple and
the colors of the mountains
blending in and harmonizing
with the whole? One day of
such peaceful and lovely sur
roundings is actually worth
months of the uncomfortable
and soul-deadening effects of
the blizzard countries.

COST Of PUMPING WATER.
n. n. Fisher Gives Accurate Estimate Of
First Cost.
$500 PER WELL is ABUNDANT

Now that it is proven beyond
a doubt that there is sufficient
water underlying our valley toI
irrigate every acre in it and at
reasonable depth for pumping,
there should be no uncertainty
in the mind Of any one of the
brilliant future that lies before
us. The time is soon coming
when thousands of prosperous
homes will fill up the surround
ing wild lands and every acre OF
available good land within miles
will have something worth while
growing on it. We have at the
outset. an unsurpassed climate
and soil-there is no need to
dwell on their virtues here.
Couple these assets with an
abundant water supply and 1t
needs no stretch Of Imagination
to picture the future Of Alamo
gordo Valley.
From experiments that have
already been made each indivi-
dual we'll will supply from 100
to 200 gallons minute. If nee
essary two wells close together
may be pumped with the same
outfit. The water stands from
s to 80 feet from the surface of
the ground, the average depth
being probably 30 feet.
The first strata which is not
large and the water being some
what salty in character is found
at from II to 100 feet, and it is
necessary to go to the second or
third strata to complete the
we'll. The water rises from b 10
10 feet above that of the first
strata.
Probably the best and most eff
ficient method of pumping for
irrigation would be by means OF
the centrifugal pump, although
some circumstances may justify
other methods. Couple a cen
trifugal pump with an electric
motor and you have simple
outfit that may be left to itself
to do the work.
The power company expects to
be ready in few weeks to run
pole lines to the nearer ranches
that require power, and Will tur'
nish the current at from &c to II

People are beginning to rea-

intense cultivation coupled with
reasonable amount Of water as
contrasted with the attempt to
cultivate large areas and contin-
ually soaking the ground with
water when a cultivation would
have been of vastly more bene-
fit. This of course means small
er tracts for each individual, and
it has been the experience that
more money is made off few
acres we'll taken care Of than oil
a large tract which could not re-
ceive the proper attention.
As an example, r. II. Pierce
who is cultivating 2h2 acre
tract as side issue sets good
mark for others to follow. Ieal

above expenses from his little
tract nearly $500. This does

pays particular attention to thin

In the third Hart put his left to the

Both were busy with their left as
soon as the gong summoned them To
the center of the ring. Davis planted
his left in the wind and swung vicious
ly for the jaw but missed. He then
put stiff left to the face. following
with a right poke to the heart. Hart
tried to finish his man but was un-
able to do so. He put his left to the
neck as the round ended.
In the nth Davis put his right TO
the body and swinging round connected
neatly with his left. He was cool and
very earnest. He tried to land a hefty
haymaker which would have done
damage had it not been neatly ducked.
In the sixth Davis started out with
a left clip to the jaw. Hart put n
light right to the wind. Davis let out
a notch and fought furiously Hart
did nothing but cover up and break
ground. He was going when the bell
tinkled.
The fight was given TO Davis.
THE MAIN EVENT.
The main event OF the evening was
scheduled as a ten-round go between
Frank Murphy. middleweight champion
of Fort Shafter. and Dennis Tighe,
middleweight champion Of the Atlantic
fleet. Tighe weighed las and Murphy
152 pounds.
The sailor was seconded by Ryan.
Brennan. Kellefer and Rafferty,.
Murphy was esquired by James,
Bateman and Poole.
Both men were loudly cheered when
they entered the ring. They agreed to
break clean and to step back after a
clinch
In the first round Tighe went at his
man like a tiger. Murphy stood up tn
his man and missed a good right swing.
Tighe landed a stiff right to the body
and left to the jaw. Murphy's mouth
was bleeding at this stage. Just be-
fore the gong sounded Tighe shot over
his right to the neck.
In the second. Murphy put his right
To the face. Tighe scored with a left
to the face and a right 10 the heart.
Then, quick as a flash, he sent a swift
right hook to the point and Murphy
dropped on his face like a log and was
