Lordsburq-Duranqo Road.

Information has reached Albu-
querque from high railroad authority
that construction work on the pro-
posed Southern Pacific project from
Lordsburg, in Southern New Mexico,
to Durango, Colo, via Gallup and
Pennington, N NJ, will begin in few
weeks and will be well under way by
the first of October.
Big grading outfits will be started
north and south from Gallup and work
will be rushed with all possible dis
patch, the intention being to complete
the line in a year.
This is the most important piece OF
railroad construction to be started In
this territory since the Belen cutoff
was commenced by the Santa Fe. 1t
will afford access to vast coal-bearing
and timber lands in Northwestern New
Mexico and bring the fertile fruit belt
of the San Juan country into easy
communication with Albuquerque and
Central as well as Southern New Mex
leo.
The line will tap practically mex
haustible supplies of coal, this being
the chief reason for its construction
by the Hartman interests. Surveys
for the road were completed eighteen
months ago, although there are sew
eral large parties OF engineers now II
the field north of Gallup.

The Willard district has had as
severe a lesson from the drouth as
any other section of the Estancia val
ley, says the Willard correspondent Of
the Albuquerque Journal. Willard, too,
has learned lesson from it all. There
is talk here now of an electric plant
to furnish cheap power for pumping.
The people realize also that must have
at least a small water supply to fall
back on. They realize also that dry
farming is not the kind of farming for
the poverty stricken. This drouth is
going to teach some valuable lessons.
1t is going to cause the really solid
people to learn how to dry farm and it
is going to weed out lots of the unsub-
stantial element whose places will be
taken by the people who know how
and who have the means to do things
Rather severe surgery is this oper'
ating of the drouth, but it is going to
work for the patients good in the
long run.

Should Exhibit at Chicago.

1t has been proposed, says the Albu-
querque Journal, that the exhibits
gathered here for the annual New Mex
leo fair in October be taken en- masse
to Chicago to the Land and Irrigation
exposition. The plan is good one.
1t is worthy of most careful considera-
tion. A fine display of the agricul-
tural resources at the annual fair Is
absolutely essential. If this same rep
preventative exhibit can be taken to
Chicago it will have served a double
purpose and will do more good for New
Mexico than it is possible to estimate.
The officers of the fair association
should keep this matter in mind in ex-
plotting the agricultural features OF
this years fair. That every district
which makes a first class showing at
the fair will also be represented with
out further cost at the Land and Irri-
cation exposition, is consideration to
be kept in mind by every section OF
New Mexico which has opportunities
for development to offer to people who
are looking for such opportunities.

Territorial Fish Hatchery.

Game and Fish Warden Thomas P.
Gable, who has returned from San
Miguel county, looked over Trout
Springs on the Gallinas near Las We
gas, as to their availability for ter
ritorial fish hatchery, says the Santa
Fe New Mexican. He found condi-
tions ideal, except that there does not
seem to be sufficient land above the
high water mark to warrant the es-
tablshment of a very extensive
hatchery devoted to the propagation
of more than one kind of fish. Mr..
Gable secured the pledge of the Aqua
Para Company to install fish runs at
each of it's seven dams in the CALI
mas. The game and fish warden
found general disposition to comply
with the game and fish laws. Incl
dentally, he had a most delightful

promising. He believes that with the
building of a large reservoir near the
Meadow City that the town will forge
right ahead in prosperity and popula-
ton.

To Extend President's Time.

An Albuquerque dispatch says:
Plans were started here Thursday at
conference with officials of the
Santa Fe railroad to send a special
train from this city to the Grand
Canon so as to bring President Taft
to this city by noon of October 18th,
instead of in the evening as planned.
This will give the President twelve
hours in this city during the territorial
fair, and will allow time for the big
gest demonstration ever attempted in
the Southwest An official and urgent
invitation will be forwarded to the
President from Governor Curry, Dele
gate W. H. Andrews and territorial
and city organizations here. to arrange
to leave the Grand Canon several
hours earlier on this special train and
to be the guest of the people OF New
Mexico for at least half day here.
Plans for excursions of statehood
boosters from all parts of the terri
tory are going forward, and there is
little doubt that the ovation accorded
Taft here will surpass in numbers and
enthusiasm that given him anywhere
in the Southwest.

Dry Farm Experiments.

]. Van Houten, of Ration, has Of
fered to give free of rent for ten years
16O acres of good land near Ration for
experimental purposes with the dry
farming system. He has also offered
$50 a month for two years % the
farmer who takes the land provided
the citizens of Ration also give $50.
This plan, says the Albuquerque Jour
nal, if carried out, will provide q
practical, working dry-farming ex-
pertinent station. II suggests way
in which every dry-farming district in
this territory may establish its own
experiment station. That such sta
tion would have the full support and
cooperation of the agricultural col
lege goes without saying. The college
experts themselves proposed the local
cooperative experiment farm to the
last legislature. Unfortunately their
plan was defeated. 1t is the best form
of education which can be offered to
the dry-farmers of New MeXico--the
practical daily exposition Of how to do
it, when to do it, what crops to use.
1t is to be hoped that men who can
afford to do so will follow the lead Of
Mr.. Van Hounten in other districts.

planned to take it East.

The Affair of the Chair.

Once there was a man who went to
4 friend and borrowed chair. 1t was
a nice chair, and the friend really lent
it, for he thought a good deal OF the
man.
So the man took the chair home
with him and kept 1t long while.
At last the friend sent word to him
that he wanted the chair back.
So the man said all right, that he
would bring the chair back.
And a day or so later he took the
chair back to his friend.
The friend looked at him with
puzzled air and said that he wanted
the chair back, whereas the man hao
brought the chair back.
The man said he knew it, and sc
he had brought the chair back, as his
friend could see.
But the friend said he didn't thinh
so much of people who could not un
derstand a simple, everyday request
that he thought he had made it def
mite enough when he sent word to the
man to bring the chair back.
The man grew trif1e angry at this
and said to his friend that If he
wanted the chair back he should have
said so.
Then the friend said If the man
couldn't bring the chair back he
could take the chair back.
So the man took the chair bach
home with him.
But why should the friend want
simply the chair back and not the
chair back?
Or did he want the chair back in
stead of the chair back?
Next time the friend should lend
the man a stool, should he not?
