New Mexico Letter.
House. N. M. Nov, 23

House, N. M., Nov. 23. Editor Tribune:-I will ask you for space in your paper to an. swer inquiries of several of my friends, who desire information concerning this country.
 There is yet some vacant land but it is in out of way places. Relinquishments on quarter sec- tions can be secured from fifty to one thousand dollars. Deeded land is going from 5000 to S5000 per quarter, owing to location and Improvements.
 Almost anything grows in this country that is adapted to the North Temperate zone. Corn frequently makes as much as sixty bushels per acre On sod land with light cultivation. Po- tatoes of both kinds do we'll. Alfalfa has proven to be a valua- ble crop here. All kinds of fruit that has been tried has done well. In fact, some of the best fruit farms in the great South . west are to be found in Eastern New Mexico.
 The country is vast expanse of prairie covered with thick carpet of Mesquite grass, which is unexceled for grazing. In the valleys there is grass valua- ble for both hay and grazing. This is the hardy Gramma grass of the Pecos valley.
 Our soil is a deep chocolate brown loan, varying from three to forty feet in depth. The an- nual rain fall in this section is usually about twenty six inches, occasionally more, but seldom less.
 There are many chances to make good investments in the mercantile and stock business. The country is fairly we'll provid- ed with railroad facilities. In fact, we are ahead of many of the states in this particular, and by the way, we expect statehood this winter, which will be great boon to the country.
 We have hundreds of good old Arkansas people here and most all of them are highly satisfied, but there is room for more. H. O. NORRIS,

Captured Bank Robbers.

The Eureka Springs Daily Echo gives the following account of the capture of two bank robbers at Beaver on last Saturday:
 "Cash Swope arrived in the city on the noon train and re- ports that he and Mir. Fawver succeeded this forenoon in ar- resting two bank robbers who had worked the combination of the bank at Rocky Comfort at 3 a. m. this morning, and secured S3, 200 in cash. They stole a Frisco hand-car at Wheaton, which they dumped off the track two miles above Seligman, and had made it overland as far as Beaver. They were followed from Seligman by Joe Fawver, who came to Beaver and gave Justice Swope the particulars. They found the men standing on the depot pl atform at Beaver, and Mir. Swope made the arrest, taking from the men three dan = gerous looking revolvers, about five hun dred rounds of ammuni- tion and considerable money When Cash left Beaver just be- fore noon, he said that his broth CT, Mark, had counted just about three thousand taken from the men, and he believed that the full amount would be found there when it was all counted. The money had been soaked, and when taken from their pocket was wadded in balls, making il exceedingly hard to count.
 MT. Swope says that the men were apparently about twenty eight and thirty-two years of age, and fairly we'll dressed. They are being held at Beaver pending the arrival of the sheriff from Barry county, Missouri.
 The capture of the robbers was novel. They heard that the sus- pected parties were walking down the railroad track, and several men armed themselves and hid behind the depot. At the proper moment, Cash Swope stepped out with his double bar reled shot gun, and started up the track toward the men as though bent on hunting trip, When few paces from tn em he covered them with his shot gun, and demanded hands up. This they did reluctantly, and then he called the others to his assistance and they were h a d u if d Neither of the men will give his name."

IT will be a long time before the next fourth of July, but it is not an hour too early to join the movement already begun for the suppression of the murderous celebrations of that day. Sev- eral cities have already issued ordinances preventing the bar barrie celebration with din and death. Cleveland, Ohio has put an end to the use of fireworks and Chicago is taking steps in that direction.

No Suffering at Berryville.

The Tribune editor spent the time from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning in Berry vile, visiting and incidentally observing things to be observed about our county seat.
 The destruction wrought by the cyclone there on Monday of last week is rapidly disappearing and with but few exceptions all the visible effects will be gone in the course of a few weeks.
 While the losses sustained in a few instances were very severe, yet there has been no suffering as a result. The people o f Berryville were more than able to cope with the situation and are doing so nicely with but small effort and little or no expense up- on the part of some of the strong est business concerns of the town. AS is usually the case every where the big end of the burden is for the most part is being car ried by those the least able to shoulder it.
 Serious as was Berryville's tornado damage, it is not great CT than the combined losses Green Forest has experienced in the past eight or ten years in fires, and it is hardly to be com- pared with the disastrous effects of the Citizens Bank failure at Eureka Springs in 1907.
 The heaviest losses to the town touching the people generally is the destruction of the church property. The Methodists have lost all, while the prevailing opinion is that the Baptist church will have to be rebuilt for safety The latter is a brick structure and the walls are badly wrenched and cracked. Even if the build ing can be repaired, the expense will run up in the hundreds of dollars. The Methodist people lost fine pipe organ which had only lately been installed. These unfortunate congregations would be justifiable in appealing for public aid, unless some phian- thropists yet to be discovered at home should decide these losses should be theirs. There is a grand opportunity at Berryville for some one to leave enduring footprints by an act that would not impoverish as much as do- nation of 50 cents has some we know who subscribed to the relief fund.
 Speaking of misfortunes, one of the greatest public los ses Berryville has ever sus tained was the passing out of Clarke's Academy. Once noted for it's ed . ucational advan tages Berryville has taken it's position among the towns of the country that enjoy only common educational facil . ities. OfClarke's Academy there remains only a memory and a dilapidated building, the as- sembly room of which has lately been occupied as skating rink.
 Thus ingloriously has ended a great institution the work and influence of which should have been p perpetuated. Those who should have been most interested in the matter having fallen into a spirit of forgetfulness, it seems that not even a monume nj is to be erected to the memory of the famous educator. A move- ment was started some months ago only to be dropped. Can it be that the educational spirit of this country is on the wane?
