LIGHT TURNED ON JULY 9TH
Doctor Woods Hopes to Have Elec-
trio Plant Installed in Time to
Celebrate Nations Birthday.

Doctor Woods, the promoter of
the enterprise of installing an
electric light and power plant in
Socorro, and the manager of the
recently organized Socorro Elec-
trio company, has undertaken
the work of installing the plant
III manner that promises speedy
and satisfactory results.
The company's power plant is
to be erected beside the Santa
re Side-track just south of what
we're years ago Fraley's coal and
lime BINS. A we'll has been sunk
to the depth of about sixty feet
and an abundant supply of good
water secured. A contract has
been awarded to Zim Gibbons
for the construction of the build
ing, which is to be partly, at
least, of adobe with a concrete
foundation and with plaster
and gravel finish outside. Sew
eral carloads OF cinderS have al.
ready been unloaded upon the
ground 10 raise it TO proper
height and the foundation will
be built considerably above the
railroad tracks so that the power
house will be we'll out OF the
reach of floods. Mr.. Gibbons
already has considerab bic mater
ial for the concrete foundations
on the ground He will push
the construction work with all
possible speed.
Besides the work in progress
down at the power pla It, Doctor
Woods has had two expert wire
men at work several days this
week wiring the buildings along
ManzanareS avenue and on the
plaza. All work is progressing
satisfactorily and strenuous
effort will be made to have every
thing completed and in readiness
to turn on the light as an inn
portant and striking feature of
SocOrro's celebration of the Glor-
ious Fourth.

A BALL TEAM FOR SOCORRO?
If the Gem City is to Be in the Game
1t Is Time to Begin.

Is Socorro to have a baseball
team this season? That is the
question. The Gem City made
an excellent showing in this re-
gard last summer and every body
was convinced that the invest
ment was paying one. If it
paid then it certainly can be
made to pay better this summer,
for experience counts for a great
deal. The business men of the
city are now generously disposed
toward the enterprise and will
support it much more literally
than they did a year ago. All
that is lacking is some body to
undertake the organization and
management of the team and the
thing is done. To ask any man
to do this is to ask entirely too
much unless he is given some
chance to recoup for his time and
labor. G.. r. Cook did exceed
ingly we'll in that capacity last
summer. When asked a day or
two ago if he would undertake
the same job again this year he
said that he would be in condi-
tion to answer the question in a
few days. He said further,
however, that under no circum-
stances would he make the effort
unless there was money enough
in sight to organize a team that
could make a creditable showing
against the strongest teams in
the southwest. That is exactly
the right sentiment and every
citizen of Socorro should be pre-
pared to support it. Let us have
a red hot baseball team.

ARE TESTING SUGAR BEETS
Seed Is Sprouting on rs or 100
Acres in Valley Near Albuquerque.

The following from the Albu-
querque Citizen is an indication
of what may be expected all
along the Rio Grande valley in
New Mexico:
The elements permitting, the
Rio Grande valley will be given
a thorough test this year in
sugar beet culture. While very
little has been said the past few
weeks about sugar beets and the
movement started two months
ago, the committee of business
men and boosters have been saw
ing wood. Col. John Borradaile,
who was active among the men
who interested the native farm
ers in the proposition, said this
morning that between IS and
100 acres of beet seed had been
sown between Bernalillo and
Isleta, which is considered
enough to give the beets a thor
ough test. In many fields little
pale green plants are showing
their heads above the earth.
Apparently the seed was fertile,
as the first planted is coming up
very thick. There will have to
be some thinning done"

A RUNAWAY BOULDER
In the Mogollon Mountains Smashes
Through the Side of Miners
Cabin.

A recent number of the Silver
City Independent gives the fol-
lowing account of strange oc-
currence out in the Mogollon
mountains:
"As luck would have it, what
might have proved to be fright
full accident was narrowly avert
ed at the mining camp of Mog-
ollon several days ago. A very
large boulder became loosened
from its place on the side of the
mountain and came crashing
down in the dead of the night,
crushing everything in its path.
finally striking a miners cabin
with terrific force going through
the side of the building like a
cannon ball, smashing one bed
to pieces and lodging directly
against another i'll which Tom
Dickey was sleeping. Only the
previous night the bed was occu-
pied by two miners, and it was
merely a matter of sheer luck
that they were absent on the
night of the accident"

DEEPEN THE DRAINAGE DITCH
Territorial Irrigation Engineer Sui
livan Was Here Saturday TO
Make Investigation.

Vernon L. Sullivan, territorial
irrigation engineer, was in So
corro last Saturday to investi-
gate the proposition of length
euing and deepening the drain
age ditch which was constructed
some time ago to carry off the
stagnant waters of lake Stevens.
The proposition is to start the
ditch further up above the Him
oiS Brewing company's plant and
extend it down to the river about
two miles below the city. This
plan involves the deepening of
the ditch to the extent that it
would be two and eight-teuths
feet below its present level where
it crosses Manzanares avenue.
1t will readily be seen that the
execution of this plan would re-
suit in the complete drainage of
the low land between the city
and the Santa Fe compauy'S
main line. Before the plan can
be executed, however, it is neceS-
sary that the territorial engineer
approve it in order that the coun-
~ commissioners may allot to
that purpose portion of the
two thousand dollars appropriate
ed by the last legislative assem-
blV tO SOcOrrO county for thp
improvement of the Rio Grande.
Mr.. Sullivan will return to So
corro in a few days and will then
doubtless be ready to report his
approval or diSapproval of the
plan proposed. 1t is to be hoped
that his report will b. favorable
to the execution of the plan, for
such action would result in a
great benefit to the city of So
corro and vicinity.

SHOOTING BEE AT CARTHAGE
severino Vegher, an Australian,
Shoots and kills oarpio Galindro
Preliminary Trial Today.

Deputy Sheriff Henry Dreyfus
went over to Carthage the first
of the week with a warrant for
the arrest of Severiuo Vegher,
an Australian, and Guerino PEN
osa and SeleSto Zulian, all charg-
ed with the murder of Carpio
Galiudro. Deputy Dreyfus got
his men and lodged them safely
in the county Jail where they
have been all the week awaiting
their preliminary trial, which is
held before Judge Green today.
No facts concerning the kill
ing of Galindro are definitely
known here, but the reports in
circulation are to the effect that
the three men now under arrest
and the deceased we're in a sa-
loon drinking together when
Vegher called Galindro outside
and the two became engaged in
a quarrel. The formers version
OF the affair is said to be that
Galindro fired a shot at him
from his pistol and that he,
Vergher, ran away but fired in
return over his shoulder while
running, the shot taking effect
on Gallndro. The latter died
Tuesday from the effects of the
wound. The three prisoners
had their preliminary hearing
before Judge Green this morn

KILLED BY LIGHTNING STROKE
Jesus Armijo of socorro the Victim
Was Herding Sheep in the os-
cura Mountains.

Jesus Armijo, a young man
about twenty-one years of age
whose home was out in the west
ern part of the city, was struck by
lightning one day last week while
herding sheep for Hon. II. o.
Bursum out in the Oscura noun
tains. The Young mans brother
who was with him was also Sc
verely shocked by the same bolt.
The injured one was brought to
his home in Socorro, where he
died early Sunday morning.
The lightning struck its victim
in the top of one of his shoulders
and passed downward through
his body severely burning and
mutilating it below the waist.
The injuries were too deep and
too severe for medical service to
be of any avail. Funeral serv-
ices were conducted over the re-
mains at the church of San
Miguel Monday morning.

UTILIZING THE UNDERFLOw
Electric Pumping Plants Making
Mimbres River Country One of
the Most Prosperous.

Luna county farmers are evil
IDENTIFY beginning to appreciate
the fact that electric pumping
plants can be used to good ad-
vantage in river bottoms where
there is a good underflow.
A recent dispatch from Dem
ing saws that with the aid of
electricity the farmers of Luna
county, especially those in the
Mimbres river valley, are utiliz-
ing the copious underflow in a
manner which will ultimately
make that section one of the
richest agricultural districts in
the territory. Within a radius
of ten miles from Deming at
least twenty-five pumping plants
will be installed in time for use
this year. There will then be
between six thousand and eight
thousand acres under cultivation,
more than double last years
showing.
What the Luna county farm
ers are now doing with perfect
success is exactly what the Chief
tain has for years been urging
the farmers OF the Rio Grande
valley in the vicinity of Socorro
to do. The valley here can easi-
ly be made to produce MANY
times the wealth it now produc.
es, and electric pumping stations
will prove TO be exactly the
means for the accomplishment oi
that result.

SPECTATORS ENTHUSIASM.

Our friend the Staunton SPECTATOR,
in the exuberance of its enthusiasm
over its own notions of democracy and
in the heat of its fervid wrath against
departures from those notions, over
looks facts and muddles its own propo-
sition. 1t seems to class the News
Leader as Directing to having Demo
Gratis pledge themselves to support the
nominees of the Denver convention.
The truth is, while the News-Leader is
not very enthusiastic over the prospect
of having to support MI. Bryan, it has
consistently urged all Democrats and
all citizens to make up their minds to
vote for that amiable orator in Novem-
ber.-Richmond News-Leader, 18th.
Our enthusiasm has heretofore been
of the kind that did not bolt. Here
after we may follow the illustrious lead
of those Democrats of the Cleveland
Gray-Watterson class, in which class
we suppose, we would cause the News
Leader to feel badly, if We did not in
cludeit-and be guided by "conscience"
and not party fealty.

HALE AS WELL AS HEALTHY
CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The statesmanshipof Senator Eugene
Hale of Maine, never displayed itself
more conspicuously than when he put
his foot down on the idiotic demand
for an increased army and navy. The
President is demanding four Dread
naught battleships. An embryo states
man from Alabama of the name of
Richard Pierson Hobson, whose wis
dom is not effulgent, but whose bravery
attracted some attention during the
Spanish war in an effort to sink coal
barge in the entrance to Santiago har-
Dor, and thus prevent the exit of the
Spanish fleet, sees nothing to be done
but build an enormous navy. There
are of course lot of naval parasites
urging members of Congress to the
same end. Secretary Taft has Just de-
clared fora large army. ThuSiip times
of peace we are beset by these FOOL de-
mands for great ornaments. Senator
Hale with the breadth of statesman
who has more than one idea, who does
not want the United States to rule with
big stick, who have never yet Under
stood why our feet was sent to the Pa
cifc, and who knows that situated as
the United States is, she needs nothing
but small army and few modern
men of war to dignity or to safeguard
her, has planted his foot firmly in the
right place, and as good as told the
President and Congress and the army
and navy parasites, that there will
likely be a large deficit in the treasury,
and that the money there must be
spent for useful things, and'not wasted
on worthless ships or an increased
army. Japan, of course, is referred to
as the dreaded foe. Japan is terror
which is going to jump out Of the box
at the most unexpected time. Japan
has one enemy-Russia, and why she
should court having another as formi-
dable as the United States, no one with
ordinary sense can tell. But some rea-
son must be assigned to increase the
tinsel, and bombast of army and navy.
We are in less danger than ever before,
and yet we have lived hundred years
without attack, our only wars being
those we have created. If we behave
ourselves nobody will ever attack US
Mr.. Hale says SO, and as between him
and the President or Mr.. Hobson there
is no comparison in wisdom and states
manship.

Hughes Endorsed.

New Yorl's republican candidate for
president by that party's State conven-
ton held Saturday and the four dele
gates-at-large, with their alternates,
elected to the Chicago republican ma
tional convention, were instructed to
use all honorable means to bring about
his nomination. The four delegates-at-
large are Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford,
Seth Low, Frederick r. Hazard and
E. H. Butler. There was every evidence
that the Roosevelt element was in con-
troll and the proceedings were engineer
ed from the White House. There was
no mention of Secretary Taft on the
floor Of the convention, but his sup
porters were busy outside, and all the
delegates were presented with Taft
pamphlets on leaving the hall.
