New Mexico Is advertising the sale
of several bond issues amounting N
'he aggregate to $4,000, the proceeds
of which will be utilized in making
needed improvements to certain OF the
territorial institutions. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars derived from one Of
these issues of bonds will be used for
the construction and completion of a
large central power house for the in
sane asylum at Las Vegas which
while already very creditable insti-
tuition has been found inadequate in
some respects to meet the present ex-
igencies.
In 1901 the territorial legislative as
sembly authorized the issuance Of
bonds for the insane asylum as well
as for the Military Institute and col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts but these acts were not finally
approved by Congress until 1907,
which delayed the placing of the bonds
on the market until the present year.
Everything is now in readiness and
the bonds which carry five per cent
interest and run for periods of twenty
and thirty years are being advertised
for sale to the highest responsible
bidder New Mexicos credit is very
good at the present time and it is ex-
pected that there will be no difficulty
in selling the bonds at least at par.
institution is Ideally Located.
The New Mexico insane asylum
comprises group of substantial mod.
ern brick buildings, and is situated
about two miles from the town of Las
, Vegas, on rising slope near the
mouth of Gallinas canon. From this
eminence it commands fine view of
the surrounding country to the south
and east, while majestic mountains
rear their rugged peaks to the north
and west. The asylum grounds prop
er are parked and 1t is a beautiful
place, especially in summer with its
NSAA oiouCu uiiNSWdyo anu Wdlho ullu
its close cropped and velvety lawns.
It's sheltered position makes it also
an ideal location in the winter and
early spring when the wind at times
is wont to cut up capers. The rugged
grandeur of the mountain scenery, the
balmy climate with almost perennial
sunshine and the excellent care they
receive are conducive to the wooing
back of health and the mental poise
of the patients.
With the money accruing from the
sale of the bonds it is proposed among
other improvements to erect new
power house and install an indie.
pendent electric lighting plant which
II. is expected will prove a great source
Of economy.
Private Wells Supply Water.
A few years ago well was sunk
which furnishes a never failing sup.
ply of pure fresh mountain water as
clear as crystal. This not only pro-
vides sufficient water for domestic
purposes but leaves plenty for irrigat.
ing and also insures better fire pro.
lection, as the institution Is located
almost two miles beyond the city fire

Strawberry Gold Mine

Showing the possibilities of one
acre of strawberries planted in the
right place in this Florida sand
we cite the results of c.. NJ. Sims,
this city. From one acre he has
sold to date SS65 worth of straw
berries in the local market, the
price for which during the past
week being fifteen cents a quart to
the consumer.
Mr.. Sims estimates that he will
yet pick $3.50 worth off the same
patch before the season ends, ma
king total of more than 500
from one acre OF Strawberries.
Three weeks ago strawberry
growers in Plant City received 81
cents a quart for berries shipped to
northern markets, which at that
time paid as high as ~ cents Tor
the berries.
At this time Mr.. Sims was sell
ing berries in St. Petersburg for 10
cents.
Mr.. Sims intends 10 plant anoth-
or acre in strawberries, which will
double his crop next year.
He hopes to interest growers to
plant enough berries to secure ship
ping facilities from this point, and
to warrant an effort to reach the
northern markets. With this
plan in operation Mr.. Sims says
81 900 can as we'll be realized from
one acre of ground as $500 can
under the present conditions de-
pending upon a local market. Why
not. st. Petersburg Independent.
