ANOTHER GOOD MEETING
Prof. Walters and J. B, Bradford Give
Addresses.
PROFOUND A FEW KNOTTY QUESTIONS

Last saturday the FARMERS
and their wives met in the club
room and spent another hour or
two in a profitable exchange of
ideas regarding the mode of
farming and the things to raise
in this valley. |. B. Bradford
who recently bought a part of
the NJ. Phillips ranch north of
town. gave a very encouraging
address. MIR. Bradford manages
1000 acres of land in Wisconsin
and is q man of good business
Judgment. He says that the
success of this valley as great
farming community is matter
of only a short time. He eX-
poets to meet with discourage
ments as the settlers in all new
countries have done but the end
will more than pay for the
trouble.
The following is brief and in
fact unfair report of Prof. Wal
ters' address at the farmers
meeting last Saturday, we should
like very much to publish the
entire article but space forbids.
Mr.. Walters said:
If we fail in the race of life,
our failure is nearly always at
tributable to a non-Observance
of the laws of nature-a lack of
harmony with environment which
causes one-sided development.
Man is supposed to have do
minion over the lower animals
over the external world. But
has he? In theory only. After
thousands of years of so-called
civilization man is far from that
proud position. His dominion
is nominal only-a latent posi-
bility. Yet here are the forces
that will enable him to Danish
most of the physical and mental
sickness from the world, to
avert storms, to produce rain, to
navigate the air, to communicate
with his friend at distance
without any other means than
pscychic force, make the animal
and vegetable worlds his servants
and to make himself indeed the
master of all material things
ifhe will but employ these forces.
This is no day-dream. The time
is coming when men will do all
of these things-and thousands
more that now seem impossible
ties.
But how can we subdue, con-
troll and direct the forces of ma
ture when we are ignorant OF
nature herself?
ITO no class of doers, workers
and conquerors is this question
more pertinent than to the farm
ers, ranchmen and orchardists-
especially in New Mexico. We
are face to face with stern, In
inexorable nature. But it is hel
veil only that gives her such a
stern appearance. Like all fe'
males she delights to be con-
uuered-if the conquest is along
her own lawful lines.
In the good time coming we
will cease to call memory educa'
ton. We will teach our chill
dren to think rather than mem
orize-to observe nature rather
than memorize what others have
written about it. We will have
our children deal with things
rather than words. We viii
learn nature and how to utilize
her force.

TERRITORIAL G.. A. R.
MEETING AT ALAMO

This week j. G. Dunn received
a letter from Department Com
mander S. W. Sherfey advising
that there is a general sentiment
to have the next territorial G..
A. r. meeting in this city and
asks for the feeling at this place.
The feeling is undoubtedly all
right but whether or not the
people will get behind the move
ment hard enough to land the
meeting is the only question.
They can we'll afford to do so
and NOW is the time to move.

WOMEN SUFFER NEEDLESS PAIN

Every woman has so much pain work and worry in life that any needless daily suffering from back ache. head ache, dizziness, languof or other kidney ills Is unfortunate indeed --.. as..
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life. health and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way by curing the kidneys. If you don't just understand your condition don't forget that it may be the kid neys.
 Women easily fall victim to kid ney ills. The confining work woman does, the tight, heavy clothing she wears, the constant bending, reach- ing and lifting of housework, the cares of bringing up children, are all trying. Any fever, cold, chill or strain may weaken the kidneys, and set up congestion. with backache ana disturbances of the urine.
 Too many women have come to think that backache, pain through the hips. headache, nervousness and swelling of the ankles. wrists or limbs, are troubles peculiar to the sex. Don't make that mistake. Suspect your kidneys first. Men have similar aches when the kidneys are sick.

 New Haven-Colonel Ullman had a special brand of fireworks to cele- brate the election of Taft last night when the automobile belonging to Dr Norton Hotchkiss caught fire and burned with lurid flame until Chemical No 1 arrived to still the flames.

 Hartford-The dead body of Will liam O'Connell, aged 40 years, was found yesterday morning on the roof of the building of the Aetna Brewing Go. It is thought that the man died Sunday of a combination of heart trouble and alcoholism. The man was formerly employed as keg col lector for the brewery, but had not been working for some time past.
 Hartford-Mrs Josephine Ryan and Joseph Brennan of Is Walnut street were overcome by Illuminating gas yesterday morning. Their condi- tion was discovered by other occu- pants of the house and Patrolman w.. c No rrial tho nncOn. scious people out of doors. Dr E. $.

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made of Adobe Ia eoiivia-0rowlns
 Trees Used Ia Africa.

Made of Adobe h eolivia-orowlns
 Trees Used Ia Afrios.
 The most original telegraph line in the world once extended from the cap ital of Bolivia, La Pax, to the town oS Oruro. In this part of Bolivia there are no growing trees, and wood is 50 difficult to find that even the ordinary household furniture of the natives is invariably made not of wood, but of dried mud or adobe.
 So when the war broke out between Chile and Bolivia and a telegraph line became urgent 1t was adobe that was chosen for the queerest telegraph poles in existence. These pillars were built on stone foundations and measured about five feet square at the base, with a height of about fifteen feet.
 They were placed at intervals of about 881 feet and thus held the wire at height sufficient to clear the only animals of the country, the llama and the donkey. The total length of the line was 156 miles. ..
 Among other curious telegraph. lines is the growing pole line erected in Uganda by an English engineer, who could not find any dead wood which would withstand the white ants and hit upon the idea of transporting grow ing bark cloth trees to the side of the roads and using them as poles.
 In the Dutch East Indies growing trees are turned to account also, but there a wire is stretched across the road between the trees on either side. and the insulator is suspended in its middle, and the line is thus over the road and clear from vegetation.-Chi- cago Tribune.

White and Red Wines.

White and red wines owe their diff ference to the fact that. while the for mer is permitted to ferment without the grape skirts. these are allowed to remain in the case of the latter. The color of the grapes makes no differencs whatever to the color of the wine which they produce, for the juice of all grapes Is as nearly as possible col oriess. For instance. the grape which yields champagne is almost black in outward appearance.

TROTTING AND PACING
New Records Made in .19OS-Ruth
 DillOn's Mark.

Many new trotting and pacing rec ords were made during the past sea- son and some figures that had stood for long time were wiped out One of the records that has stood the longest was that for 4-year-old trots ting mares, which until Ruth Dillon set the mark at 2:06& at Columbus on September 22, had stood since 1886 at 2:16, made by Manzanita at Lexington, Ky.
 Directum, 2:051s Grace record) is still the champion 4-year-old stall lion. Alix, the Patronage trotted in 2:1O at Nashville, Tenn, on Novem- Der 8, 1892 GIG years ago) which still stands as the fastest record against time by 4-year-old mare.
 When Highball trotted in 2:O3& at Peoria, H., he established a new worlds race record for geldings and came within A second of the Cres- cents worlds race record of 2:O9 A |, made in the match race with The Abbott at Brighton Beach track August 15, 1901.
 Ever since trotting became a pop ular sport, there has prevailed among horsemen a belief that the 4-year-old form of harness horse was not favorable for the display Of speed and gameness, the contention being that structural changes in which the teeth played an important part were of such character tn the animal could not do itself justice in the way of racing.
 For this reason the crack Swear olds of successive campaigns have not. ordinarily, heen asked to com pete in races the following season, but recent events have shown the weakness of the arguments referred to. no less than three 4-year-old trot- ters having beaten 2:10, and other wise performed brilliantly this sea son, while several others have show speed and racing quality of a high order.
 A 2:1O trotter which enters the select list as a 4-year-old heretofore has been so great a novelty that some account of the nags which have turned the trick this summt, of interest.
 These horses are:

 Ruth Dillon. which took her mark in a race she won from fine field at a Grand Circuit meeting was bred in California, but was brought to Indiana two or three years ago after her sire. Sidney Dillon, had been bought by a resident of that state, who commissioned Willard Sanders (who made Lou Dillon, 1858 11; Dolly Dillon. 2:06a Stanley Dillon, 2:07s4 and others of the family) to buy a number of young things by the old horse and develop them. In the lot was the lilly now known as Ruth Dillon.
 Like many other California foals, she had not been named in any of the eastern colt stakes, so when she showed marked speed as 2-year-old there was no chance to exploit her greatness in a racing way. The same condition existed when she was g., but the establishment of some small purses for trotters of that age by three Indiana tracks enabled the Ally to show her quality by winning them and taking a record of 2:l5A over a half-mile track.

Some of the old timers here still
remember the fleet of steamboats,
that used to ply up and down this
stream between Victoria and va
rious points on the coast. as far as
Houston on Buffalo Bayou. Several
of these boats were owned by Cap
tain Jesse o. Wheeler, who was
one of the pioneers in the develop

NEW BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION NAMED
Two First Appointed Declined to Serve.
City Officials Sworn In.

Benz. Kowalski and Augustin
Celaya were chosen as members of
the board of equalization at a meet
ing of the city council held We'd
nesday night. They act with S.
K. Hallam, who was chosen last
month, in revising the renditions
of all the property of the city, for
taxation.
As will be remembered by HER
AID readers, the city council ap-
pointed a board of equalization
about six weeks ago. S. K. Hal
lam, J. T. Canales and E. H.
Goodrich were asked to undertake
the work. The two last named,
however, declined to serve, ard so
the council was obliged to appoint
others in their place.
The first meeting of the new
board will probably be held on
Monday, and it will meet several
times a week thereafter, until the
entire property list of the city has
been revised.
Both Mr.. Kowalski and Mr.. Gel
ava, when asked by a reporter of
THE HERALD today if they had
consented to serve on the board,
said that they had. 1t is expected
that the work of revising the rem
ditions will occupy at least month.
At the same meeting of the coun-
Gil, all the officials of the city cleo
ted in the late election, with the
exception of Alderman, Jose Gel
ava, who was unavoidably absent,
took the oath of Office for their new
terms.
