Another Planning Mil

Work on the Romero Planning
Mill has been again taken up
this week, an engine and boiler
room now being under con
struction just west of the main
building, erected last summer.
The engine has been placed on
concrete foundation, as the boil
er will likewise be. The engine
room will be constructed to
brick, and be of ample size. The
machinery for the mill has been
ordered and is now on the road.
AS soon as this arrives it will be
placed in position, and the work
commenced in earnest.
Mr.. Romero, who has been
here this week, personally look-
ing after the work, already has
several nice orders for finishing
lumber booked, and is anxious
to get the machinery started so
as to fill these. His sawmills in
the Manzano mountains will
furnish him plenty of rough
material to keep the mill busy.
! He now has about sixty men en-
ployed at the sawmills, and the
planning mill will give work to a
number more.

STEEL ChGES
FOR jail:
Contract Let for Up-to-date Fix,
lures for Torrance
County Jail

Sheriff Meyer went to Tajlque
Wednesday of this week to con-
suit with Chairman Jesus Can
delaria of the Board of County
Commissioners in regard to the
details of accepting a bid for
the cells for the county jail the
call for bids having been adver-
tised for several weeks past in
these columns.
Representatives of two com
panies have been here and visit
ed the Jail getting exact dimen-
sions and specifications, both Of
whom have submitted bids.
The cells have been needed for
some time and had they been in
place the Jail delivery of some
months ago, would in all proba-
bility never have occurred.
There is sufficient money in
the court house and jail fund to
more than pay the expense and
Sheriff Meyer will not be happy
until the cells are in place. He
has been working hard to get
the cells, in which he was sue
cessful at the last meeting Of
the board.
The contract was awarded to
the Southern Steel Structural
Company of San Antonio, Texas
for two steel cages, with corri-
dor between. A tank will be
placed overhead, all fittings and
connections to be made complete.
The price complete with every
thing in place is $1435, the work
to be completed by October 1st,
1909. With these cages in place
the Torrance county Jail will be
one of the best equipped in the
territory. Sheriff Meyer is only
afraid that the place will be SC
inviting that he will have more
applicants than he can care for

readers mind the Importance OF
this summer tilling, we wish to
make a few statements that are,
80 far as our experience goes
beyond any question true.
There are many fields all over
the central west, including the
states of Minnesota, Iowa, Da-
kota, Nebraska, ETC., that have
been cultivated for a number OF
years and planted to wheat.
The average yield of these vari-
GUS states seems to run between
1T and 1876 bushels per acre
for the last ten years. Mime
sofa, Iowa and North Dakota
have in their average yield dur
ing the last five years as against
the previous five. This, however,
| is not due to the fact that the
soil is permanently losing its
, producing powers or qualities,
, but because there has not been
, a sufficient length of time when
2 the plowed portion of the soil
has carried just the proper
r quantity of air and water to
: promote chemical action.
It And one of these fields that
y has a good sand loan soil and is
y cultivated during one season
,r without 4 crop in such manner
e as to carry in the soil the proper
IN quantity of air and water for
n sufficient length of time will
ut develop plant elements to thai
is degree that if the proper kline
in of seed bed was established
or for the growing crop the follow
ing year a much larger yiel
ed than was ever produced in tina
he field can be obtained.

HELD FOR MURDER
NEAR DURAN
Gabino Sena is in Jail here Ac-
cused of Murder of Aged
Man near Duran

Sabine Sena, who was arrest
cd the first of the week at Ga
teo by Mounted Policemen
,usk and Gomez, was brought
10 Estancia Tuesday evening by
Sheriff Meyer and lodged in the
Torrance county Jail. Sena is
accused of the murder of Alta
pracio Encinias some time ago
at Duran. The accused, so it is
reportel has admitted having
knocked his victim down, and
stabbed him in the head and
back, from the effects of which
Encinias died after lingering a
month or so.
The preliminary hearing will
occur sometime next week, as
soon as the necessary witnesses
can be subpoenaed and brought
here. 1t is said that another
besides Sena is implicated, but
this is not known positively at
this time, although something
may develop at the preliminary
hearing.
The New Mexican in speaking
of the affair has the following to
say:
Sabine Sena has been arrested
bv the mounted police on the
charge Of murder. The arrest
was made at Galisteo by
Mounted Policemen J, B. Rusk
and Rafael Gomez The alleged
deed was committed in Torrance
county, although the victim died
at Galisteo, in Santa Fe county.
Sena has admitted that he as
saulted Altagracia Encinias, an
aged sheepherder, foreman on
the ranch Of Juan Sena, near
Encino. Torrance county, where
the assault occurred. Sena, SO
the story goes, knocked down
the old man during an argument,
Jumped on him with his feet
and stabbed him in the back and
in the head. The injured man
was taken to Galisteo and there
fingered full month before
death relieved him from his
terrible suffering caused by his
injuries. No physician was
summoned and no complaint
lodged and it will be necessary
to take up the body in order tc
substantiate the facts. Sena is
only about twenty years of age
and will be taken to Estancis
this afternoon for his preliminary
hearing. Another man is sale
to be implicated, but thus far he
has not been arrested.

I'LL Slllp 0b lllDuQtlOl quo
The Strobel airship will be by
far the biggest attraction ever
brought to New Mexico for a
territorial fair or anything else, /"
said President w. G.. Tight, of
the fair yesterday.
DR.. Tight has recently return
ed from an extended trip through
California, during which he
opened negotiations with Roy
Knabenshue and a number Of
other we'll known aviators, with
the object Of securing an en-
gagement for the twenty ninth
territorial celebration next
October, in this city. Prof.
Tight was about to close with
one Of the California men when
I. f. Lester, travelling represen-
tative of Charles J. Strobel, ar
rived in Albuquerque, and Sec
retary McManus embraced the
golden opportunity and after
communicating with the. presi-
dent, closed at once with Lester.
By so doing he secured one OF
the most celebrated airships of
the present day and one whose
every performance is watched
with great interest by the
aeronautic world.
Coming just at this time,
| when the world interest in the
science of aviation is intense, y
said President Tight, we believe
we are particularly fortunate in
securing g o""7 cement with
| the Strobel clulJ. 1t is the air
ship which has to it's credit a
longer list of prize-winnings
than any other in existence and
| the one which has shown itself
| to be the safest and most prac.
| ticable.
The people of New Mexico
have never had an opportunity
to witness anything like the
spectacle which will be furnish
led by the daily and nightly
ascents of this immense all
craft during the fair. The as
cents of the balloon in this higl
altitude and rarefed atmosphere
/, will be watched | think will
considerable interest by aviator
the country over
In case any high-fying stunt
are attempted by the Strobe
aeronauts here it is likely tina
some worlds records for altitud
, will be broken. The aviato
4 here has the advantage of a 500
=, foot start over his fellows in tn
e east.
el An interesting feature of tn
\ ascensions will be the taking O
! photographs Of the city and SUI
4 rounding country from a loft
a altitude, which it is needless t
say will be in great demand.

WORKING THE
SOIL In SUMMER
By Prof. H. w. Campbell, the
Man Who Knows.

mulch over the surface to stop
evaporation, also to loosen the
surface to admit air.
The next step after the double
disking is to continue to main
tain this same loose surface. 1t
is very vital to the success OF
the summer tilling, no matter
what the season may be, but es-
pecially true should there be no
rain in the early part of the sea-
son. We have two important
points to gain by this early work.
They are the principal factors in
securing the most ideal condl-
tions for the largest possible
yield of the crop we expect to
plant, and don't forget that we
are instructing how to get the
big yield. These points are
first to store and retain all the
possible moisture in the soil be-
low.
Should we have an abundant
rain during the crop season, the
water from the surface will be
more readily taken into the soil
if there is plenty of moisture
below Then the average field
has abundance of storage below,
not like a cistern that has a bot
tom with a given number of
gallons capacity The moisture
can keep on soaking down below
as long as you keep sealing in
shower after shower by loosen
ing the surface as quickly after
each rain as the soil becomes
sufficiently dry so the soil will
not stick to the cultivator or
harrow. In all clay subsoils
this moisture may be crowded
on down and stored for several
feet, and yet practically none
of it is lost but will return by
capillary attraction upward to
feed the plant as it needs it, if
too much is not allowed to escape
from the surface of the soil by
evaporation. On the other hand
if the rainfall is light during the
crop growing period, the moist
ure stored below keeps up the
growth of the plant during the
prolonged dry periods, giving a
big crop and not a failure.
The second point of importance
is to hold this moisture with
loose surface which permits of
free circulation of air. Bear II
mind the admitting Of this air tt
the soil in vast quantities is jus
as vital as the storing of tn
t water, for it is the combination
, of air and water in the soil il
r proper quantities together wit
D heat and light that brings abou
: the all important chemical actio
which develops our nitrates
e bacteria and other element
necessary for the growth of tn
: plant.
V AS soon after the double disl
o ing as a rain of any magnituC
= may fall or if the little weet
begin to start, another cultivate
is necessary, either with tt
common harrow or the dis
usually the harrow will answ
of until we'll into the growing sc
as son. Above all things do n
ar let the weeds grow. 1t is We
ch difficult to realize how rapie
to the moisture is drunk up,
utilized by the little growi
". weeds. 1t is not only a aquesti
al of the loss of the moisture VIII
In is taken up by the weeds,
