How is This

Mrs. II. A. Goodberlet and children
were guests of the Palace over night
arriving on the Red Apple last night
from Aztec. This morning they de-
parted for Buena Vista 20 spend the
holidays with the formers mother,
Mrs. Martha A Mahon. This is Mrs.
Goodberlet's first trip home since NOV
ing to San Juan county, some three
years ago She said that she likes It
at Aztec, so much that she should
be sorry to live anywhere else. There
are so many advantages In climate,
productiveness OF the soil. good bust
ness conditions. plenty Of sunshine
and water. friendly neighbors--shc
said she could not begin to tell all
the reasons why she considered San
Juan county an ideal place for resi-
denco.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodberlet live about
three miles from Aztec on fine fruit
ranch. This year they shipped i.2s3

ONLY DEER EARN OUT WEST.

New York Sun.
Twenty miles southwest OF Mason
City, Iowa, is the only deer farm in
the west' II is operated by John w.
Griggs, n hunter and trapper of pio-
neer days, vino has herd of 100 deer,
from which he yearly realizes good
profit
Grlggs' farm has been n geological
retreat for years. First he reared
wolves. then wild geese. then ante
lope. then elk and now deer He be.
gan fifteen years ago with pair OF
Virginia deer. and has experimental
with white tails, black tails and other
hybrids. but the climate of Iowa has
evolved type of tho northern deer
as the breed hardy enough for all
purposes.
Griggs pays as much attention to the
breeding of the deer as the average
farmer does TO the breeding of his
horses. This is necessary to prevent
ilbreeding, which means scrubs. The
mating season ia In November. the
fawns are born in May or June and by
fall the spots have all left the fawns
and their normal coat OF hair appears
Deer in captivity breed as well MS
in the Wild state. Young does usually
give birth to single fawn, but the
older does usually have twins. Last
year Grigg's thirty-fve does brought
him fifty-six fawns. These require no
care.
The deer corral, which includes a
large piece of woodland, Is surround
ed by an eight-foot woven wire fence
dOubly strengthened as to posts. The
natural food of deer is the green bits
Of the forest, but they can be taught
to like corn. while alfalfa and clover
are delicacies that appeal TO their ap
petites.
Griggs markets yearly all the deer
he cares to sell For park purposes he
gets from $25 to $3.50 each, while for
venison he secures as much from a
carcass, the antlers bringing in an
average OF Sc each. About the only
losses come from injuries inflicted
when a deer is frightened and con
flicts of angry bucks.

NOTHING LIKE BEING DECENT.

The Herald calls for the most rigid
examination OF city and county bills
whether by The Herald or Democrat
Comparisons and following the law
Ia what we want.
Last falls election notice required
two pages. In order to have II meas
ured according to law we sent the pa
per to the state measurer of printing
in Denver and had him figure the bill
and his figures were filed with the
county commissioners. Now as TO the
facts. The Democrat had the same
space but Topped off hundred dol
work In the neighborhood OF $3.50
The commissioners allowed each pa
per $500. The writer waited on the
commissioners. Mcssrs. Logan and
Reister, also the representative of Mr.
Day, and talked over the matter As
a compromise the commissioners,
through the chairman. Mr. Logan. pro
posed to pay 800. The representa-,
live OF Mr. Day held out for 5000. and
as compromise the writer. Geo. N.
Raymond, proposed $500. stating he
would be willing to accept the amount.
Days representative held out for $500,
quoting Grand Junction and other pa.
pers, as well as Pueblo and Colorado
Springs. and insisted on 5000, but the
commissioners said ns The Herald was
willing to accept $500 they could not
allow the Democrat an extra 500 and
the representative of Mr.. Day finally
consented to come down to the fig
ure proposed by Mr.. Raymond
This Is no buncombe We are pre-
pared to put the four men concerned
on the witness stand as to the truth
of this assertion.
The Herald Is willing to admit that
even $500 Is fancy price for the
work. but there Ia no reason why The
Herald should receive less money than
any paper n the state for the same
work
Regarding the other item mentioned
In the morning paper the bill rem
dered was for publication OF the tax
list, was set in nonpareil and set strict
ly according to law and the matter
was thoroughly discussed afterwards
withthe commissioners who practical
ly admitted We were right
AS to all other bills rendered the
county we are willing Tor committee
OF practical printers to pass upon them
and comparisons will be made OF the
charges made by the morning paper
for the same work. The Herald has
nothing to cover.
And We stand really to prove that
the Democrats bills against the city
the law allows. We have made the
offer to pay the expense of an In.
vestigation II we cannot prove this.
and the same offer holds good as to
the county.
Calling names may be tho ethics
Of g distinguished soldier but they do
not alter fac.s.
Barroom language is not argument.
In rendering bills for the publica-
tion OF the official list of nomina-
tions for the recent city election Dem
ocrat filed u bill In excess OF The
Herald but the council cut the Demo-
crat bill to The Herald figures. a prop
er procedure, and we will state that
the charge for the official ballots used
by the city last spring. the work done
by the Democrat. was very reasonable.
The work could not be done cheaper
and make anything, but last fall the
Democrat charged the county exorbi-
tant price for election ballots. much
higher than ever paid The Herald.
The records prove this.
