viii We Do 1t?

The Estancia valley will have
a chance to show that it is still
on the map and there to stay dur
ing the coming twenty-ninth
New Mexico Fair and Resources
Exposition in Albuquerque,
October ILL. There have been
a good many things said about
the Estancia Valley, some of
them true, some of them partly
true and some Of them rank eX-
aggerations of the actual con-
ditions.
That the valley in the main in
spite of drouth and occasional
failures of crops is still prosper
Gus and thriving is the thing
that the valley people want to
show New Mexico at the terri
torial fair. 1t behooves Estan-
cia and Moriarty and Willard
and all the towns along the line
to gather up the best possible
exhibit of the valley sresources.
Where the crops have been good,
displays should be sent to the ex-
position and there should be a
lively bunch Of boosters from
every town along the line to
show that the Estancia valley is
still doing business at the same
old stand that it offers the best
opportunities in New Mexico and
that it's people are hardy citizens
who do not get discouraged by
one unfavorable season.
Taft is to be in Albuquerque
during the fair and it is such
homesteaders as inhabit this val
ley that will make the great
demonstration in honor of the
president effective and boost
the cause of statehood, There
will be lots of other things be-
sides; the monster Strobel air
ship in daily flights; a splendid
program of horse racing, base
ball, the Southwestern Marathon
carnival attractions and the
most comprehensive display of

parts of New Mexico ever wit.

DRHMH PROVES
DECIDED HIT
Will Repeat Play Saturday Night
at Popular Prices

Woodmen hall was crowded tt
overfloWing on last Saturday
night, the occasion being the
rendition of the southern drama
The Woodman Picnic or THE
Forged Certificate. - put on by
local talent, members of the
Modern Woodmen of America
and the auxiliary, the Royal
Neighbors. That the play was
we'll put on and interesting was
shown by the fact that although
there were over two hundred
persons in the audience, not the
slightest evidence Of anyone be-
coming restless or losing interest
was shown.
North Carolina Pete kept
the audience in an uproar, calling
down the house repeatedly by
his sense and nonsense. He
proved himself Johnny on the
spot throughout the evening,
appearing just in time to foil
the villianous attempts Of Rod
ney Kicker. Susie Wayne true
to southern life, refused a life
of pleasure and ease, at the ex-
pense of her honor, while Kitty
Jones fttingly rebuked the
black-guard Erastus Green, who
desired to meet her only at night
and alone. Fritz Stein and Sol
Davis, like true Woodmen
.elded and protected the widow
and orphan, retaining for them
the financial protection vouch-
safed by the benefit certificate in
the greatest Of Fraternal Orders.
Nothing has occurred in Es-
ancia for some time to call forth
more general praise than the
work of the home folks who
put the play on, and so great
has been the interest shown,
that the troupe has consented to
repeat. the play on Saturday
night September 4th, The same
popular prices will again prevail,
and a good house is assured.

Machinery Arrives

DRY HRROyAS
RIGGING TORRENTS
Shower Sunday Assumes Proper
tions Of Cloudburst

n HedVy ram, Senefdl over
I the larger portions of the valley,
fell on last Friday afternoon,
being especially severe some dis
tance north and west of Estancia.
Just west of Antelope Springs
| the storm amounted almost to a
cloudburst, Arroyas were bank
full, while fields were soaked as
deep as the plow had ever pene-
trated the soil.
| On Sunday afternoon rain
storm assuming the proportions
of q clOudburst visited the foot
hills country west of Estancia,
the rain falling in torrents for
some time. Within a few hours
the arroyas took on the appear
ance of rivers, the water coming
down in solid banks. Several
narrow escapes from drowning
are reported. In the Hodges
Draw, a daughter of William
Sutton had a close call. She
with her brother attempted to
cross the draw, the little fellow
passing over in safety. The
current proved too strong for
the horse she was riding, throw
ing both horse and rider into
the stream. Only by the help
Of neighbors was she saved from
a watery grave.
Sunday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Paup started to return home
after a visit with their neighbors,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Richart, five
miles southwest of town. With
out thinking of anything un-
usual, they got into the cart and
left the house yard, following
the usual road through the draw,
over which they had come dry
shod a little while before. No
sooner had the horse started
down the embankment, than he
was either thrown or lay down
in fright, and the current took
charge of the cart. Mr.. Paup
got out to try to get the horse
up and lead him out, while Mrs.
Paup stood on the seat crying
loudly for help. The Richarts
hearing the screams rushed out
to find their meadow a raging
river. Young Richart swan in
and cut the tugs Of the harness,
freeing the horse, after which
the cart was dragged ashore,
Mrs. Paup still clinging to the
seat. Mr.. Richart had been
told that his usually peaceful
meadow occasionally went on
rampage, but thought it was
only a dry country joke, and
did not believe it, He says now
he will believe anything they
tell him about this country.
Dr. Boyd on Sunday afternoon
was marooned a few miles south
west of town, but succeeded in
getting back all right, by driv-
ing about a quarter of mile
through water at times deep
enough to enter the buggy bed
He does not deny having been
somewhat sea-sick part Of the
time, however.
While some damage has been
done by the floods, the benefit
will replace this several times
over. Late crops will make
good feed, while earlier crops
will mature lots of grain and
beans. The rain is two days
earlier than two years ago, at
which time a large acreage of
crops had been given up as lost,
but which yielded good harvest
before frost.

The date for hearing is set a;
the 16 day Of September, 1909
as to whether the injunction
shall be made permanent.
In his cause for action the
plaintiff sets forth some inter

which are sworn to as facts, g
few being upon information anC
belief,
After reciting that he is g
resident of Torrance county, and
a legal voter and taxpayer
therein; and reciting the act of
the 35th territorial legislature
creating the county Of Torrance,
he alleges that the Both Legisla-
tive Assembly without legal
authority and in direct violation
of the laws Of the United States,
amended or attempted to amend
said act of the 35th Legislative
Assembly" so as to remove the
said county seat from the town
of Progreso, where it hatAbeen
established by law, to the town
of Estancia, and that the books
and records Of said county of
Torrance we're removed from
the said town of Progreso, the
legal county seat of said county,
to the town of Estancia, and
that the business of said county
has since said time been carried
on by the various officers Of said
county at the said town of Es-
tancia.

the legal county-seat Of said
County is at the town Of Pro

defendants cause a courthouse

be built at Estancia it will have
the effect Of causing the legal
county-seat Of said County to be
removed from said town of Pro
greso and plaintiff will suffer
damages in that the value of
his real estate and other proper
ty located at Progreso will be
rendered considerably less valu-
able by reason of the fact that it
will be a greater distance from
the county-seat Of the County
and bV reason of the further
fact that the growth Of the town
Of Progreso, which is being
furthered by the fact that the

Progreso and the value which

The plaintiff, as shown above,
made affidavit that the amenda-
tory act Of the 36th Legislative
Assembly was to the effect Of
removing the county seat from
the said town of Progreso. 8"
The act locating the county seat,
says nothing about "the town
of Progreso," the fact being
that there was no town of Pro
greso at that time. All
the Progreso that existed
at that time was the sheep
ranch Of Col. j. Francisco
Chavez, which was called Pro-
greso, and at which place the
county seat was never establish

never having held a single ses-
