SMELTER RECEIVED NO
DAMAGE FROM FLOOD.

Helena, Mont, Apr. 16.-A dispatch
from Great Falls says the flood from
point without infiicting any great
damage. The dynamite deepened the
channel of the river which proved
sufficient to carry the flood satisfac
torily. The water rose to a height no
greater than during the customary
spring floods. The smelters received
absolutely no damage. The situation
at Craig is serious, as the flood prac
tically destroyed the town. The work
of repairing the Hauser dam has al
ready begun. 1t is estimated that it
can be repaired in six months at
cost of 100000

FIRST PROSECUTION
FOR FAILURE TO SPRAY.

Upon complaint of the Chaves
County Horticultural Board, proceed
ings were brought today in the court
of Justice A. J. Welter against Mark
Linn, a resident of Colorado, who
owns twenty acres of orchard in the
Hagerman tract near South Spring,
and who has failed and refuses to
comply with the law requiring spray
ing. His land was adjudged a nuis-
ance and ordered abated by having
it sprayed by the Horticultural
Board. The costs of spraying and of
the suit will be charged as tax lien
on the property
Such action should be unnecessary
1t is to the interest of every man
having an orchard to have it sprayed
properly and at the proper time. He
owes it to himself. his neighbors and
the community to do so. and when
he fails so to do, he has it done by
law and has the costs of legal pro
cedure added to the cost of spraying
The indications were never better
at this time of the year for large
fruit crop in the Pecos Valley, and
the orchardfsts should take care OF
