ONCE WORTHLESS TRACT
NOW QUITE VALUABLE.

Frans o. Santheson. the florist and
gardner, has shown what can ibe done
with a very little money, some work
and considerable patience in the max
ing of a home in the Pecos Valley.
He has turned a once worthless piece
of and into a valuable truck farm
east of town and has done it in a
comparatively short space of time.
Three years ago, and a little owe
Mr.. Santheson bought for S475 a tract
of eight acres lying just across the
city limits east of town. 1t lies in a
long narrow strip $50 feet wide. and,
when he bought ii. was the play
ground of a half n DOZEN bends of the
Hondo river. practically all of it be-
ing ruined by the o and turns of
the stream. Along the peninsulas
and capes, of which the ground was
made up. grew blackberry trees. bush
es and dense, wild grasses and weeds
the place being apparently hopeless.
But Mr.. Santheson came from a coun-
try where ground is valuable and he
knew what he was going to do when
he bought the ground. He first dug a
straight bed for the stream. cutting
through the isthmuses and putting the
dirt in h bends. He scraped of
the high places into the low ones and
now three fourths of the plot is a fine
level. fertile piece of ground. The
rest will soon go through the same
transformation.
A Record reported visited the San
theson tract this morning and on the
portion of the ground that has been
reclaimed was seen as fine a variety
of vegetables as could he found any
where. Everything known in this sec
tion of the country tina Is valuable in
the markets was seen growing there:
and with personal knowledge Ii can
be said that the melons. cantaloupes,
sweet corn. etc, are as fine as can
be found anywhere. Mr.. Santheson
has an eye for the beautiful. also and
hundreds of rose bushes. dahlias, and
other semi-hardy flowers. together
with Il hedges. ETC.. make the
place all the more beautiful.
Mr.. Santheson has expended $525
on an artesian well on the place. max
ing a total cash outlay of $1,000. But
he would not give IL up for a cent less
than $1,000 today. Such are the pos
sibilitias of the Pecos Valley. When
Mr.. Santheson came here a few years

thence n some skill. He proposes
to build a residence on the ground
and sell flowers In winter and vege-
tables In summer.

irrigation. where water must be
pumped from wells or secured by

In the humid parts of Washington,

necessities, and the methods M cost

How Actress Coaches Her Horse For

Amy morning these days IL you hap

do-you might see Miss Maude Adams,
the actress. In the strangest sort Of
costume mounted on a beautiful white
horse which she rides round the ring.
To the horse are fastened all sorts of
metal objects. which jangle as he ear
tiers. and grooms throw colored BAN
ners and flags into his ace until the
performance takes on the aspect of a
b%ullhght. Noises are also playing n
part In this horses education, and he
Is being treated to all sorts of strange
sounds from various instruments.
The reason for all this Is that the
horse is the steed which Miss Adams

Adams will be on his back or dis

at full speed across the stadium. Con

should know how TO behave. even in

through the performance.
Now, Miss Adams knows thai you
may ride a horse for several weeks
and imagine you have trained him not

discover some bit of paper i'm the road

then counts. Miss Adams costume
is not the one she will use In Cam

to which pieces of metal are fastened
and which will serve to accustom the
horse to the real suit of armor she will
don later. The banners of various col
ors are waved in the horses face 50
that he may not suddenly become
frightened at the battle scene.
After all this has been gon through

HOLIDAY OUTING FOR
 AUDITOR ". 6. FOSTER
Board of Control Has Kindly But h. formally Offered Him . Short
 Vacation.

w, C. Foster. territorial auditor. is preparing to make a leng holiday trip into northern Gila county. The des- tihation will be clear up on the rim of the Mogollon mountains, in the Young school district. where the snow and the thermometer is four feet deep and one can get all the back east Christmas weather he can assimilatc. Mir. Foster possibly has not yet found out that he is going. but he, is, for J. J. Riggs. citizen member of the board of control, says he may, and there's no strings on him. His mis- sion will be to inspect and approve $500 school house the territory has just finished under an act of the late legislature, for the benefit of the Young school district.
 The bill appropriated $500 for the purpose and last summer the board of control forwarded plans, specified tions and blue prints of a handsome educational institution. to the trus- tees of the district. with instructions to go ahead. build and send in the bill when someone. probably the auditor. would be sent up to approve the expenditure and order payment of the bill A few days ago the bill came. properly authenticated by the trustees, and all the officials of Gila county whose authority might be needed
 There is nothing to do now but audit the bill and pay it. except send ing someone up to look over the property and pass judgment At an informal session of the governor and the citizen member. forming ma jority of the board. held on street car between the city and the capi- tol building. it was unanimously voted to let Mir Foster take the trip. if he wants to. The governor and MT. Riggs would both like to go. of course. but they feel that the partial prom ise made last summer to send the auditor ought in justice to the school district to be fulfilled. They appre- ciate that it will be splendid trip and that no man can go out into the wilds of Arizona, especially into the Mogollons. at this time Of the year, and not feel better for his commu- nion with nature.
 Then again. public office is public trust. and as Nr. Foster is the man who signs the territorial warrants. it is highly proper that he should know that the money is prop erly spent. It would sonly cost him a hundred or so to satisfy himself. and the governor and citizen member as- sert that they will be perfectly will ing to abide by MT Posters appraisal and conclusion.

MUNRO PUTS IN
 PUMPING PLANT
He Will Try Experiments That. if Sue eessful, Will Be Followed by
 Others.

A pumping plant on the southside for the irrigation of a quarter section is an experiment that Hugh J. Munro Is about to make. It Is his belief that small acreages can be irrigated cheaper by means of pumps than by buying the water from the government and he is willing to back his opinion by being the first to try it on his ranch. which is just west of the Lambeye ranch.
 The general objection to a pumping plant in the past has been the cost of gasoline Munro expects to use distilIate, which is much cheaper. He now has men at work digging well eight feet in diameter. When they strike water, which will be found at thirty feet. then three wells will be bored from it to much greater depth where the flow is continuous and heavy. He has ordered a sixteen horse power Stickney engine and a centrifu- gal pump with capacity of HOO gall Ions a minute.
 Munro has figured out the cost of operating the pump for a period of ten hours at $1.60. With ten-hour run. between twenty and forty acres can be irrigated. while the capacity of the pump is ample for the irrigation of the whole quarter section.
 He will also build 2,000-gallon tank for domestic use and for the cattle. Another piece of machinery that will be installed after he has built four room house on his ranch will be a dy- namo by means which the house will be lighted by electricity.
 If Munro finds irrigation by pumping profitable on the southside others will doubtless follow his example and thus obviate the long wait for government water. It is generally known that the underflow of water in the valley is practically inexhaustible, and even though all the water in the Salt riNer should be held back at Roosevelt the flow underground would continue. It is the theory of some that the water used for irrigation sinks into the ground and runs into the channels, thus tending to keep up the supply.
