hrtIlur HtklnSOn Dead

Word was received on last
Saturday of the death Of Arthur
I. Atkinson at Nogales, Arizona,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. At
kinson, of Estancia. For some
time he had been a sufferer from
tuberculosis and had gene to
Arizona a few months ago, in
hopes that the change of climate
might prove beneficial. On ac-
count Of the snow blockade and
Mrs. Atkinson not being well,
Mr. Atkinson could not go to
Nogales. He instructed friends
at that place to inter the remains,
intending later to remove them
to the Estancia cemetery.
This is the second son the
family has lost during the winter,
and they have the sympathy Of
all the residents of the valley in
theil double af1iction.

CROPS MUST
Be FENCED
According to Law Just Passed
by Legislature

One Of the bills which has
passed both houses Of the terri.
torial Legislature and has gone
to the Governorfor his signature
is Of more than passing interest
to the farmers in the Estancia
Valley, the same being known
as the Fence Law"
During the whole Of the pre-
sent session more or less pressure
has been brought to bear for the
passage of a herd law, but except
as regards a portion of three
counties in eastern New Mexico,
in vain Che Albuquerque Morn
ing Journal says of the Fence
Law
The law sent to the governor
today requires that in all those
districts of New Mexico wherein
the local option herd law is not
putinto effect, itshall be required
by law thatall gardens and farms
be fenced properly, with a law
ful fence against the trespass Of
live stock Whether or not this
will solve the problem oftconfiict
between the stock men and the
homesteaders remains to be seen.
Wherever the herd law is not to
operate the fence law is in force.

Death Of Old Settler

Early last Monday morning,
Algernon H. Garnett, one of the
Oldest residents of. Estancia,
died at the home of a sister in
! Chicago, Illinois. Some months
ago, Mr.. Garnett had gone east
for treatment, and according to
reports was thought to be inn
proving. Reports as to his con-
dition were so encouraging that
he had intended returning to the
valley shortly, but the treachef-
GUS disease, consumption, had
secured too firm a grip upon him.
Mrs. Garnett left on Monday
nights train to lay to rest the
Rody Of her departed husband,
interment to take place in Chi
cago.
Mr.. Garnett had been in busi-
ness of various kinds in Estancia
from the beginning Of a town
here. He was instrumental in
plating the additions of Alta
Vista and Garnett Place, to the
townsite. I He acted as the first
justice Of the peace, at the
creation Of Estancia precinct,
while yet a portion Of Valencia
county and succeeded in break
ing up a gang of cattle thieves,
that had. infested the valley and
threatened to drive out the SET
tiers by stealing away their
small sustenance, after arriving
in the new country. In various
wayshe had worked to build up
the valley and make Of the desert
a good place to live. He was a
tireless worker for what he be-
lieved to be right, and repeatedly
his friends urged him not to ex-
ceed his strength. Mrs. Garnett
and the only son, Burt, have the
sympathy Of the entire neighbor-
hood in their bereavement.

ESTANCIR WILEY
GAN'T BE BEHT
Even by the Golden Shores Of
California, says Dibert


Frank Dibert, who is visiting
his son, Ammon Dibert south Of
Estancia, has returned from
California where he has spent
several months of the winter.
While he has always been a
strong advocate of the Estancia
Valley, not only as a farming
country but as a health resort,
he is more than ever impressed
with the opportunities of the
valley. During his residence of
several years in Santa Fe and
his frequent trips through the
valley he has had splendid op-
portunity tostudy the advantages
offered in the valley and claims
that these far exceed anything
he has seen elsewhere,
While in California, he had
occasion to meet and converse
with many people who had been
attracted to the Golden Shore"
by the voluminons advertising
of the railroads, many Of whom
have merely sufficient means to
reach their Mecca, and soon en-
counter difficulties galore in
finding employment to secure
the bare necessities of life.
Others, who are attracted for
health reasons, while benefited
by the mild climate, find the
humidity Of the low altitude such
as to retard rather than accelerate
convalescence, while others
rather than take to a suburban
home, cramp themselves into
modern apartment houses
with all the modern" conven-
fences, and suffer for lack of
the pure air and God-given sun
shine.
Mr.. Dibert claims to be enjoy
ing ourIreal sunshine to the ut
termost, after the moisture laden
excuse for sunshine, which he
has been forced to enjoy(?), and
we believe he is enjoying life
here, Judging by his exhuberance,
his elastic step, and jovial laugh
ter.
The Estancia Valley, not only
offers the fairest Of skies and
the maximum of sunshine, but
with this the purest of life-giv-
ing air in abundant quantities.
While the valley has just had a
snow storm leaving a mantle Of
from twelve to thirty-six inches
of the beautiful covering it, the
tornados, cyclones and disastrous
storms of the eastern and central
states are unknown. The dry
air together with the cool
summer nights and warm sun
shine produce a climate, which |
cannot be excelled under the
canopy of Heaven.

At Brink of Grave-Physician Says
Recovery is Possible-Patient
iG CHEEKY.

ROCHESTER,. Mimi. Sept. IS
Gov. Johnson today had the best day
since his operation Wednesday, and
tonight Drs. Mayo and McNevin
agreed that his condition was most
encouraging.
DR.. William Mayo said this even
ing:
Gov. Johnson is resting quietly
and is cheerful. If he pulls through
tomorrow, | think he will live, and
think he will pull through tomor-
row."
Three physicians caught the gov
ernor's pulse and temperature at the
same marks, 102 and 80, respective
~. at o'clock. When asked By Dr..
McNevin how he felt, Gov. Johnson
said
pretty we'll, Mac. Much better
than yesterday | have had scarce
ly any pains this afternoon at all
Mrs. Johnson has been in constant
attendance at her husbands bedside
during the day.
In speaking tonight OF Gov. john
sons chances for recovery, DR.. Nc
\evin said:
while | do not wish to give
false impression or minimize the very
grave danger that GOV Johnson is
still in. | cannot help feeling en-
couraged by the slow but gradual
Improvement of the patient during
the day. There are no indications
of peritonitis or other complications
though, of course, the danger is not
yet over
