Commercial Club Decides to
Back Movement to Secure
A Better Fire Protection for
City of Richmond.
WANT new FRANCHISE
FOR WATER COMPANY
Do Not Favor Waiting Three
Years for Expiration of the
Present Would
Mean New Main, ~

Realizing that 1t is impossible to
hope for better fire protection for the
city. under the present franchise of the
Richmond City Water Works compa.
ny, steps will be taken by committee
OF the Commercial club to have the
board of works take up the question
with the water works officials, In
hopes of having a new franchise given
the water works company in the near
future. The committee Of the club in
charge of the matter, which met last
evening for the purpose of organiza-
ton. includes S. E. Swayne. chairman
w. X. Bradbury. L. B. Nusbaum, Edgar
Hiatt. Henry Gennett and Charles E.
Shiveley.
The franchise of the water works
company does not expire until July,
1912, but as the city is in constant dan.
ger through lack of sufficient protec-
ton, club members want the matter
brought to focus Immediately.
Refused to Lay Main.
Under the terms of the present fran.
chise the officials of the water works
company refuse to law a new main
from the pumping station to the city.
and also equip the pumping station
with an additional pump. These Off
cials declare that the expense is too
great, approximating more than $780,
600.
The matter has not been thoroughly
considered as yet. However, It is un-
derstood that the water works company
is willing to accept new franchise at
the present time instead OF waiting
three years and facing possible adverse
conditions. It is believed that the
company would be willing to accept a
franchise for period of % years. This
feature would be left to the two con-
pany.
The Commercial club has been con.
sidering fire protection for several
months, and this is one of the phases
of better protection. Complaint is
made by the fire insurance companies
to the one pump Of the water works
company at the pumping station. and
the fact that but one main connects
the city with the reservoir, the source
of supply. This main has been in the
ground for nearly twenty years. and it
is doubtful If full pressure could be put
on without danger Of bursting it. In
cases of large fires it is important that
great pressure be had, In order to rem
der the best service. 1t has been
demonstrated several times that the
normal pressure is inadequate
Used as Pressure.
These facts will be used as pressure
upon the board of works to get them
to consider taking up the proposed
project. ....-
When asked about the matter this
morning. E. M. Haas stated that there
was nothing for publication. as yet
Members of the committee. who were
asked. as we'll as the water company
representatives, had nothing to say
about the proposition.
However. one of the business men
of the city who was acquainted with
the action of the committee. gave out
the above information. He declared
that it was something the public
should know and that the people
should be educated to its Importance.

Lots of Beans

James L. Fleming, who lives
two miles south and four miles
west of Estancia, was in town
Tuesday, looking into the bean
market. He claims that his crop
is as good if not better than last
year, and that three or four of
his neighbors in that vicinity
will have plenty to load a car.
The frost of the last week was
just sufficient to mature the
beans without injury. There will
be a large number of car loads
Of beans to ship out of the valley
this year, which with the potato
crop will bring our farmers good
returns, in spite of the tales of
starvation and destitution, so
loudly proclaimed by some Of
the territorial dailies.

Making A City Attractive.

A distinguished Ian Escape
artist was asked recently; "What
is the most important thing tt
be considered in planning anG
improving our cities-health
utility or beauty" He replied
that he might as well be asked
which is the more essential blade
of a pair of scissors.
Few people, we imagine, woulG
agree with him in putting al
three on a parity. Most people
would be disposed to insist that
the maintenance of sanitary con
ditions is of first Importance.
But undoubtedly there is a fast
growing appreciation of the need
of making cities both convenient
and beautiful. The proof of the
statement is abundant. 1t is
fact that nearly every town OF
any consequence in the country
has an organization devoted to
the work of beautifying. There
is corroborative testimony in the
fact that public interest in this
matter has caused a literature
which could not be stored in sew
eral five-foot book shelves.
We seem to be awakening to
the fact that we live in the midst
of more or less filth and ugliness,
and the wider we open our eyes
the more we shall be moved to
clean up and beautify. But rap
idly as dwellers are waking up,
they still greatly lack a full ap-
probation of the need even of
sanitary improvements. Until
we do cultivate a robust desire
to keep clean we are not apt to
devote much time to making our
selves beautiful. We are going
to do both; but the process is
likely to refute the dictum of this
landscape engineer. .-Ex.

WERE NOT READy
FOR INJUNCTION
Plaintiff Asks Continuance but
is Denied. Given Ten Days
to File Brief

Last Thursday was the date
set by Judge McFie of the First
Judicial District Court for the
hearing in the Injunction pro-
ceedings, enjoining the county
commissioners from the building
Of the court house at Estancia,
the county seat, but when the
case was called the attorneys for
the plaintiff, Renehan & Davies
asked for a continuance on the
ground that they were not ready
for the hearing. The commits
sioners and Estancia were rep
resented by District Attorney E.
C. Abbott, Hon. E. A. Mann,
Easley & Easley and F. H.
Ayers, who resisted the motion
for continuance. The court over
ruled the motion and took up the
case, granting the plaintiff ten
days in which to file a
brief in answer to the
argument of the defendants.
Judge Mann made a splendid ar
gument, supporting each and
every point by decisions in SINH
lar cases, showing that Estancia
is the legally constituted county
seat. Affidavits were filed to
disprove the statement in the
complaint that the county re-
cords were removed from Pro-
greso, the affidavits showing
that there never had been any
records at any place by that
name. The ten days will ex-
pire on the 26th, and the courts
decision may be expected some
time next week. 1t is evident
that the whole procedure is
merely to gain time,

The Critical Public.

"The man who gets angry
about what a newspaper prints
of himself should return thanks
a dozen times each day for what
newspaper knows of him and
suppresses. Any fool can find
things to print in a newspaper,
but it takes a wise newspaper
man to find things to keep out. !"
All of which is very true, re-
marks an exchange. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that newspapers
print everything they can find
out that is anywhere near fit to
print, but that is a mistaken idea.
The average country newspaper
refrains from publishing many
things that might pass as news
because it would reflect on the
character or reputation of some
individual, and indirectly on his
family and the town.
And this reminds us, and we
presume other newspapers have
noticed it, that if anything hap
pens to get into the paper that
does not please some subscriber
and we have known of such
cases where the offended person
has not and never had been a
subscriber it does not take long
for the person to let the editor
know all about it. On the other
hand, a newspaper may say all
kinds of good things about this
same person, and throw bouquets
promiscuously at others, yet not
once in a hundred times will the
compliment be noticed or the
editor.
This goes to show what people
take too much as matter of
course. A newspaper is expect
ed to speak we'll of everybody,
boom the town, and do lot Of
hard work for ''the good of the
cause, - for it costs nothing to
run a newspaper-so too many
seem to think. 1t is fortunate
that most publishers are public
spirited citizens. They do much
without hope of reward on earth,
content if they see good accom-
plished through their efforts. =

FARMERS BUYING
P0TATO Sh6KS
One Merchant Sells $3.50 Sacks
in a Single Day, enough to
Fill Ten Cars

If anyone needs further proof
that our people are not desti-
tute and suffering the pangs
Of starvation, here is further
proof for them. On Monday Of
this week, L. A. Bond sold to
potato growers $3.50 sacks, each
capable of holding on the aver
age 120 pounds or two bushels Of
potatoes. Farmers don't buy
empty sacks unless they are sure
of having something to put into
them. This number of sacks
means that these farmers are
sure of having $500 bushels of
potatoes to put into the bags, or
in western terms 800, 900 pounds.
The average car load is about
40, 900, so that this represents al
most ten car loads of spuds.
These sacks were purchased by
three farmers, and as one Of
them said, "I'll need more, be-
fore | am through, but this is
enough to start with"
According to the Albuquerque
Journal, the wholesalers of that
city ship in from Texas, Califor-
mia and Kansas, between 118, 600
and 5000 thousand pounds of
potatoes each week. This means
about $50 cars eof spuds each
year are necessary to supply the
trade of that one city. Since the
Estancia Valley has proven that
potatoes can be grown success
fully and of superior quality
here, the people of the Rio
Grande Valley are awakening to-
the fact that they. may learn
something to their advantage by
experimenting a little bit along
this line. But they haven't yet
raised the spuds, and the Estan-
cia Valley has, and can supply
them with the best of its kind.
Anot Ter beauty about the
Estancia Valley potato is the
fact that it is so easily kept,
and we'll kept. Potatoes buried
at harvest time are just as per-
feet and wholesome when opened
at seeding time in the spring as
when freshly harvested. This
not only provides us with good
seed, but allows our farmers to
keep their crop until late in the
spring when the market touches
the top notch. The shrinkage is
very light compared with the i'm
mense increase in price.
