DIED.

Mrs. W. H. Middleton died
last Tuesday night, after a pro-
longed sickness. Mr.. Middleton,
together with the mother and
sister of the deceased, left for
St. Louis Wednesday with the
remains for burial. They will
return in a week or two. Mr..
Middleton came to Alamogordo
about eighteen months ago for
her health, but the odds against
her were too great for her to
overcome and she passed away
at her home on Tenth street and
Florida avenue.
The body was escorted to the
train by six pallbearers, viz
Gus Warren, Ely Martin, Guth-
rie Smith, John Rapier, Max
Pierce and E. H. Cox.

strict, reading as follows:
Chapter II, Laws of 1901.-lt

THE IMPORTANCE OF
GETTING THE LAND

1t is an old story how John
Jacob Astor laid the foundation
for the vast fortune of the fam
lily by adopting the policy of
getting the ground and ad-
herring to it; not only being him
self guided by that policy, but
passing on the advice from gen.
Grafton to generation. This is
only one Of countless instances
of the same kind-cases of
where the growth of great for
tunes can be directly traceable
to the same policy. There was
never a time in the history Of
this country when the advice
was of such genuine value as il
is right now. Wise is the father
of this generation who can and
will get and transfer land to his
children. Wise is the son who
who will heed his fathers ad
vice to get the land. There arc
many reasons for this. First
and foremost Of these is th'
fundamental fact that the rea
wealth of the country rests il
the soil. There was never Z;
time in all the history of the ma
tion when all conditions SO com
pletely combined to demonstrat
this fact. 1t has long been tn
, habit to say that all real richie
must be produced by the land,
J but for years, through the yer
, familiarity that grows of repeti
tion the saying has been to mos

IL BLIND CHILDREN
TO BLIND INSTITUTE

Twelve boys and girls, four
totally blind and the Others un-
able to see but little, are in FL
Paso today enroute to Alamo
gordo, where they will enter the
territorial school for the blind.
How are you, FRANKIE was
the greeting given one of the
boys by r. H. Pierce, a member
of the school faculty, who came
to Ell Paso to meet the unfor-
tunate ones and escort them to
Alamogordo.
''How do you do, Mr.. Pierce, "
quickly responded the boy, as
he reached for the hand of the
speaker.
The boy had been in the school
before, and, though he could not
see the face of the man who
greeted him, he recognized the
voice of an old friend and smil'
ed his pleasure at the reunion.
One little golden haired girl
perhaps three years old, held il
her arms "a dolly, and she low
ingly patted the little dumt
face she had never seen.
The little group formed a pa.
thetic spectacle as they marched
from the union station this
morning, and many a stout hear
was deeply touched.
Nine of the boys and girl
were assembled at Albuquerque
where they came from various
points Of northern and centra
New Mexico, two were from La
Cruces and one from Las Lunas

ALAMO SURE TO HAVE
CANNING FACTORY

The canning factory PROPOSE
tion previously mentioned in the
News columns is now an assured
fact, as there is, and above,
enough money ready to be put
into the project by citizens, be-
side outside concerns who are
willing to put it in.
The Hastings Industrial COM
pany of Chicago has made three
distinct proposition to Mr.. Welch
of Alamogordo, two of which in
clude complete building and
machinery for canning fruit,
sweet potatoes, and tomatoes,
and one including the same with
the exception of the sweet po-
tato machine, which can be in
stalled at any future ting.
1t is stated that from IS to 25O
men will be employed on piece
work, and the capacity of the
machinery will make it possible
to use from $4,000 to 100000
worth of farm products annually.
The incorporation of the COM
pany will be similar to a bank
A board of directors, president,
treasurer, and secretary, all un-
der bond, will control the finan,
ces. A guarantee will be furn'
nished by a broker to use the
output of twenty such factories
thereby assuring a market.

TERRITORIAL ENGINEER
WRITES ON IRRIGATION
To the Editor:

~ NhO A~@NO
l wish to thank you for your
past assistance in the educa-
tional work on irrigation farm
ing by printing the various ar
ticles submitted in competition
for the trophy cup offered by
me some time ago for the best
article on improved methods in
farming by irrigation. Now that
the time is past for the compe-
tition, wish to summarize, in
few words, the results of the
work and to emphasize q few Of
the suggestions found in the diff
ferent articles.
The territorial engineer will
be glad to receive in the future
any data secured by irrigation
farmers from any experiments
they may have carried on lndl-
vidually and which they believe
will be of benefit to their fellow
irrigator. Such data, when re-
ceived by this Office, will be sent
as heretofore to the various pa
pers in order that same may Sc
cure universal distribution.
All the articles received in
this competition are now being
printed in pamphlet form and
the territorial engineer will be
glad to furnish a copy of same
free to anyone upon request, as
long as the supply lasts. This
booklet will be embellished
with illustrating cuts and will
be of great value to the New
Mexico farmer.
Realizing that there has been
but little done to assist the
farmer in getting better results
from his irrigated farm, the ter
ritorial engineer offered a tro-
ply for the best article on bet
ter methods in irrigation farm
ing, with no intention of criti-
cism of previous methods, but
purely to develop and educate
the public on these matters.
The results are so gratifying
that the territorial engineer has
decided to print the articles IN
pamphlet form.
New Mexico is favored with
the best climate in the world
and is abundantly supplied with
