qlltl dllu dS well DSNdNeu as any New England village of a hum
 dred years of age. The business part of the town Is equal to a
 town of five times its size and
 the merchants have good clean stocks and sell very reasonable considering they have to pay more than double the freight
 that you do at Springdale. All
 religious denominations have or ganizations here and there are
 ten church buildings. All secret societies have lodges and the
 town is well supplied with pro- fess1oual men and the curbstones are full ot real estate boomers.
 The population IS largely com posed of persons who have come
 here to benefit themselves as to
 health and from all 1 can learn fully nine-tenths of them succeed. l have conversed with numbers
 of inValids who tell me they have increased In weight at the rate of i've to ten pounds per month,
 after being here a few months, and those who came here weakly and hopeless have become en- tirely cured of lung affections and do not cough anymore at all.
 There are two large sanitariums for the treatment of consumptive patients. located on the side of the mountain four miles east of town. There IS also a Baptist College and the Territorial Insti- tute for the blind; fine court
 house and jail; fine electric light
 plant and, in fact, everything that contributes to the upbuild- ing of firSt-claSs town.
 East of the town there is a range of mountains that abounds with fine timber and considerable mineral deposits. Gold, silver and copper principally. and nu- merouS claims have been filed that as soon as water can be had Tn sufficient quantities, will be worked, and I am told will pay enormously. Any direction with in i've miles of town government land can be taken up under the Homestead and Desert Act law and numbers of old soldiers as well as others are settling all over this section. Some of them are able to obtain water by wells, and in some sections the water can be found at from 30 to co feet. In the south part of the county there Is over a million acres O. fine open land that can be taken as homesteadS where the water IS only 10 to 30 feet below the surface. And in the adjoining county the United States Government IS building an irrigation plant, costing SS. .0O0,0 and that section IS going to settle very rapidly with farmers from the eastern states.
 Now, l suppose our friends would like to know what 1t costs to live out here. Well, all farm products are very high. Eggs, Soc per dozen; butter, 40e per pound; potatoes and apples from 212 to Sc per pound; spring chick ems lII I2c, hens IoC, turkeys 2Oc per pound; meat, 10 to 15e per pound for beef; 15c for pork or mutton. Groceries are about 10 per cent higher than in Spring dale; dry goods the same; wood is about as much again as at Springdale, but 1t is wood that lasts longer. Rents are about the same as any town of this size. Now the weather: I don t suppose any section of the Unit ed States has more beautiful winter weather than they do here. We have had but three days since coming here that were unpleasant. One windy, one rainy and one snowy day. but the

WIltH we Wtlc lIClc. -NON. D. This town and surrounding country in the hands of com- pany of energetic progressive Americans could be developed in
 to a veritable garden of Eden. There was no earthly need of Carrie Nation taking her little latchet and going over to Scot land for work, for right in Tula- rosa there would be sufficient to keep her busy for some time, there being three well developed saloons for total population of about 500 or about ole gin shop for every 200 persons and the booze dealers are all rich, so 1 am informed. To offset the inn moral influence of the town there IS but two small churches, one a Catholic and the other a un1on building where any denomlna- tion may hold forth. We en- deavored to purchase neWspa- per the morning of Nov. 4th in order to get the election news, but to our surprise nothing III the shape of paper could be got for love nor money. We un- derstand that since we were there, however, that lady has opened up news stand there. We found here quite number of G. A. K. men and from our con- versation with them We learned that nearly all of them came here seeking health and it seems they were not disappointed. They all are now stout, healthy looking men and attribute their recovery entirely to the climate, as most of them declare they have taken no medicine since they came here.
 There IS one serious drawback to this town in the fact that there is no drinking water except what IS taken out of the Zirrigating ditehes and this, in our iudg- ment, is scarcely fit for all ani- mai to drink, much less human being. The ditches all run through the streets of the town, standing open all the time and on warm days are not only the fa- vorite bathing place of children, but the hot and dirty dogs, with which the place is abundantly supplied, wallow most of the day Ill the very water that people are compelled to use for house. hold supply. All kinds of stock are also watered along the ditch es where most convenient. Some of the people keep tanks and use ralnwater when they can get 1t. We attempted to take drink of the rain supply, but found 1t entirely too lively for our constl- tuition. We met here Dr. J. w. Long, U. $. land commissioner, who has been a resident for IS years. We also formed the ac- quaintance of $. $. Andrews, who, short time since, attempt ed to steal one of our Springdale widows. Both these gentlemen are old soldiers and very enthus- iastlc about this particular DOT tion of Uncle Sam domain. Either of these gentlemen will gladly answer any questions re- garding their nelghborhood, if you enclose stamp when writing them.
 There Is plenty of Government land, subject to homestead entry, or under the Desert Act, within five or six miles of Tularosa, and If water s,an be procured from some of the mountains or canyons. you can produce any kind of crop that is raised in the United States, but water IS THE one thing necessary here. After considering the water and the other drinking supply here, we concluded that We would go down

Mr.. Pulliam came into town last

long night session OF the magnates
who were discussing his case. Only

magnates last night was that IL Pull

asked to do so. but that they would
first like to see him themselves. Hence
the trip Of Pulliam to visit the mag
mates.
John T. Brush, of New York, was,
rs usual, openly opposed to recalling
PulIiam and was backed In this. 1t is
said. by Charles w. Murphy, of Chi

were six votes in favor of Pulliam.

The University of Illinois captured

ninth annual conference meet with q

The Illinois team was by FAR the
well represented in practically every
event. The Illinois team clinched the
meet by winning the relay race from
Chicago, after a hard battle. When
the relay race was started, IlliRois had
81 points. Leland Stamford 2s, and Chi

Stanford team, but the two first run

Serious Mistakes Made in
Organization of Field Trials Club

is unsafe to offer prizes, with less
than half the amount to pay them
with, in the treasury. Should the en-
trance fees fail US in any considerable
degree. We might still come out safe
ly this year, but would leave the club
fiat, with the death knoll ringing in
its ears. so far as any future trials
are concerned.
I believe the board of directors
should have shown to the subscribers
who have not paid, and to the other
sportsmen who have not yet been in
this money before Offering the prizes.
and should have put some plan on
foot to this end.
believe the board has made a
mistake in offering. only three moneys

largest prizes of any Trial Club in the
United States, and i think more dogs
should have a chance to win. I would
suggest that prizes be $500 to the

third and $50 to the fourth.

would further suggest that II

the old rule. of course. of which we
should not be afraid, and l believe II
and the fourth dog would not be
without considerable honor, when q
majority of the spectators declare hin
worthy of the place.
The board has made another mis-
take, in holding these stakes open un-
til September Est. The entries should
close by August l, by all means, and
assuredly 50 in the case of the derby
and should the board not wish tc
close the an-age so soon, they might
make 1t August 18th, but believe
August LIST best.
These suggestions are made for the
best interests of the club, club men,

the sportsnnen OF the state to think
about. Respectfully,
