That Starvation Business

"Hearinr so much recently IN
regard 10 short crops ~ the dry
district south Ut Tucumcari, and
the spiel from , tcw socialist, over
in the san Jon country and calam-
ity howlers in general, would
like TO say TO them: Come out 70
God country, east Jt Iucumcarl
eight miles, where the men do the
work and the women keep house,
and where the aboy, named are
not IN evidence, and see some New
Mexico crops that are good enough
Tor ANYBODY. This statement
was made by Albert Wilburn, who
has improved one hundred and
twenty acres OF land eight miles
East OF Tucumcarl. In answer to
question, he said. The crops Of
Sinclair, Buckingham, AnglIn,
Page, Willis, Swift, Criswell, Mrs.
Holmes, Miller, Paul Jackson and
others are good, these are about
all my neighbors crops have
seen. Sinclair gathered last year
eight hundred bushels OF Indian
corn, and will gather about one
thousand bushels this year; be.
sides he has splendid maize, kaiir
and other crops. MI the other
parties named have tine crops OF
Indian corn, maize, katir, beans,
peas, pumpkins, melons, mlllet,
turnlps, cane, etc. Our farmers
have practiced the Campbell Sys-
tenn oi cultivation, which is deep
blowing and surface or mulch cul-
tivation. The crops were not badly
damaged by the eighty to ninety
days Of dry weather. Some OF
them are late, but all OF them will
mature il frost stays off as late as
October 18th, which is earlier than
we have killing frosts. \. NJ.
Miller has the banner crop OF all
my neighbors; he worked right on
while some Of the rest OF us were
travelling between our homesteads
and Tucumcari, and the difference
is dlscernable.'

GET BE TER LIGHT
At THE SANE COST

Tantalum lamps. the new incandcs-
cent lights for home use. have been
received mere by the Passenger and
Power Company, and are being got
ten ready for distribution to custom
ers. Tantalum and tungsten lamps
are the latest perfection of electric
lighting engineers in incandescent
lamps. Tungsten lamps are so pow
crful that they cannot be convent
entity used in homes and are especially
adapted to stores, large offices and
factories, where a bright. white light
is needed.
Tantaium lamps give the same kind
of light as the tunsten, but differ in
that they can be made of smaller can
gse-power and can, therefore. be used
h homes.
irJhe great advantage in these lamps
u that they give considerably more
light, Illuminating power. than the

A movement looking toward a con-

light rates has been started by the
city. Committees have been appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants Association, and 1t Is probable
that the matter will be brought to
the attention of the City Council at
its next meeting. - Il
The chief cause for complaint is the
recent action Of the Citizens Railway

the discounts which have been al
lowed to consumers. This, 1t is said
will increase the cost of electric cur
rent to the larger consumers by some

MlilIERRfN, VA. March 1i.-Tho
farming interest IN Southsidc Virginia
is taking on new life since spring has
begun to open up, and there Is Il rush
generally among these people for tho
plow and other farming implements iii
order that largo crops may be seeded
early. Tho high prices received during
the past year for all classes Of products
raised from the soil has put new vigor
In farmers.
Preparations are being made for a
great incrcase in the area of tobacco
This product has sold unusually WE'LL
and as % result many who for tho past
several years have cut this out from
their farms entirely will go back and
take up this industry where 1t was
lief. off. In Il great many instances
the dark grower was the one who dis
continued the. cultivation of the weed,
and he was forced to get out on ac-l
count of the small prices paid for dark,
while the bright grower kept increas-
ing his crop, in many instances on ac-
count of the prices that good bright
leaf has always demanded. The situa-
tion las changed a great deal during
the past year. and It is estimated that
there is scarcely any difference in the
average received for these two kinds
during the past season. Not only has
this been theNcase in the tobacco In
dustry, but almost every product raised
on the farm has greatly increased in
market value. Many have almost
doubled the usual price, and the de-
mand is more than equal to the supply.
This with the reduction in the price
of labor and the supply more plentiful
than for several years past, places the
farmer in better position than for quite
a number of years to raise large CROPS
and to improve everything generally
in connection with his farm work.
The work OF laying rail on the Tide
water Railway Is well under way. This
was taken up last week near Nntbush.
eight miles east OF this place, and Will
be rushed through as fast as possible.
The roadbcd Is ready the entire way to
Brookneal, several miles west of here,
with the exception of two or three
bridges. which will be completed in
ample time to continue to this point,
where the rail will be Joined to that
laid west. 1 is estimated that the
entire line Will be ready for operation
as far west as Roanoke, Va, by Sep
TENDER LIST.
The various lumber plants In this
section are increasing their force. as

and all are running full time. Lumber
is being shipped as fast as it can be

CANNOT
REPAIR

In connection with the repairs
needed on the Hackfeld wharf an in
vestigation this morning brought the
following statement showing the ac-
tual state of affairs preventing any
work being done which will have an
appreciable effect 1t is from Super
intendent Marston Campbell
"The last Legislature made an ap-
proprlation of $4,000 for construc-
ton, repairs and maintenance OF
wharves in Honolulu. an amount
which has proved to be totally made
quate under the conditions which
have arisen. The first great expense
came when the Matson Company
commenced sending its boats here
and needed a wharf. The Brewer
wharf was constructed for the Inter-
Island Company. but when the appli-
cation came from the MStson people
1t was given to them and it became
necessary to give the Inter-Island
something else. 1t was decided to
build shed on the Sorenson wharf
and the sum of $1,000 was taken from
the $4,000 for this purpose
'In order that the big Matson boats
might use the Brewer slip dredging
was needed and we were forced to
spend $4,000 more. In this manner
$4,000 of our total was used up. That
left only $4,000 for labor materials
ETC., for the entire two years. At
present, to last till June 1. we have
$2116.94, which will be entirely in
adequate for the regular repair work
and a special deficiency appropria-
tion will be asked from the legisla-
ture.
with the knowledge of this finan-
cial condition it will be seen that It
Is impossible to do ary more than
patching on the Hacbfeld dock. What
is needed is entire replanking which
would cost $4,000 or $4,000. and which
we have not got to sDend. This
wharf has never been replanKed since
1t was built in 1901 and gets more
traffic and heavier traffic than any
other similar wharf in the city. That
1t is in bad condition Is very true and
the department realizes 1t, hut we
nave not the money available tS 20
ahead with the work until 1t is given
us by the legislature. The law for.
bids the running up of bills in excess
or appropriations and the Governor
VIII not allow anything Of this kind
If we had the money the work would
be commenced at once"

MONEY FOR
MRS. OREIER
LATE CAPITALISTS WIDOW GETS
ALLOWANCE OF $3.50 PER
MONTH.

Mrs. Emma Dreier, the widow of
August Dreier was allowed the sum of
$3.50 per month for the maintenance
of the family home known as Ululani
in Judge De Bolts Court this morning.
There was no protest from anyone,
the will providing that she should be
allowed sufficient sum for this pur-
pose. The real estate which is left
under the will brings in an income of
little over $1,000 per year, which
makes it easy to pay this amount with
out disturbing the estate in any way
The contest over the will and the trust
deed under which the larger part of
the property was left, will be fought
out to finish.
