At the present time in Otero county,
there are 17S,000 acres of irrigated
and under the old bitches. In addl-
ton to this. this spring 10000 acres
were opened up under the Swink,
Brannon and other smaller reservoir
propositions. This gives a total acre
age of 21S,O0O.
The local factory of the American
Beet Sugar company, which is the
largest in the world, has contracted
for 10000 acres of beets, and the beet
agricultursts report that the crop is
the best in five years. Allowing only
an average of eleven tons per acre,
would give total valuation from
sugar beets of $1,75O,OOO. Last year
the total revenue from sugar beets was
less than $750,000 in Otero county.
AS near as can be learned there are
something over $4,000 acres of alfalfa.
The alfalfa crop is the best in years.
and, allowing for three ordinary cut
tings. the valuation will exceed ST.
1000.
The cantaloupe season has just
started and the officials of the three
prominent melon growers associa-
tons agree in the statement that there
will be from 1000 to 1,2OO cars of can
taloupes shipped out of this county
this fall. These will bring an average
of $500 per car.
Thirty thousand acres of oats are in
cultivation and the average yield in
this section will be at least sixty bush
els per acre, and at the ordinary price
of 35 cents, this will make a net yield
of $63O,OOO
Only $1,000 acres of wheat has been
put in in this county this year, but
from every section the yield reported
Is phenomenal, and will average forty
seven to forty-eight bushels to the
acre. This will show value of $780,
900.
There is a fair crop of fruit this
year, although in few instances some
of the earlier varieties of apples were
destroyed by frost. The orchards
around Rocky Ford, Manzanola and
Ordway, according to the owners, will
yield about an average crop. This
will be valued at about 100000 Last
year the fruit crop was practically nil.
For the first time, this year Rocky
Ford has seriously taken up poultry
raising and some phenomenal returns
have been reported. One poultry man,
Tor example, reports a net profit OF
s4.66 each on 141 hens during the win
ter. This is o. c. Frantz.
The returns from eggs and poultry
alone amounts to about 100000.
One hundred thousand lambs have
been fed in the county and 5000
head of cattle have been shipped to
the markets. This industry amounts
to about 100000.

MAPLETON STORY OF FALL
Press Tells Of ScafoIding From Which Work.
men Fell While Working on Church

Mspl e t on Press: Following the
lamentable accident of last Thursday
evening when scaffold fell over 20
feet and killed one workman and in
jured three others, work on the new
Catholic church was suspended several
days and as yet only very small force
of men are at work. One of the in
jured men is about town and the cuts
on his head are rapidly healing. The
other two, Melton and Servoss, were
taken to their homes in Denison the
following day.
Blame for the weakness Of the stag
ing cannot be placed upon the shoulders
of anyone more than those of the dead
and injured men. They assisted in
the construction and were cognizant
of its liability to collapse. When it
broke it seems they were standing
closely together. and the centralized
weight was more than the scaffold
would bear. The structure was built
on the inside of the building and their
descent was interfered with by hume
rous scantling and cross pieces used in
its construction. 1t is a miracle any
of them escaped alive.

 SAYS SECRETARY MEYER
In His Annual Report-Recommend tions-Senior Naval Officers Are Too Old.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Warning the government that it may be compelled to buy them back at an increased cost Secretary Meyer of the navy depart ment in his annual report to the presi- dent today recommends the retention for the present, of all the navy yards owned by the government. He would have the government wait until the completion of the Panama canal before closing any of the yards on the south ern coast.
 Two big battleship of the all big gun class are recommended by the secre- tary, as well as a repair ship. He makes it plain in his report that he is opposed, except occasionally as a check on cost to the construction of battle ships at government navy yards, and to the limitation of the construction of only one battleship by any one ship building coScern.
 Estimates for the coming fiscal year were included in the report. They are more than ten million less than the total amount appropriated for the pres ent fiscal year.
 The secretary says that the senior officers of the navy are too old. He wants some new legislation on the sub 5ect. He says that he is preparing recommendations. on the matter and will submit them to the president shortly.
 Recommendations for the legal es- tablishment of naval reserve of off, cers and men will also be submitted to President Taft soon. Recommenda- tions in regard to the development of naval militia are also promised.
 Secretary Meyers reviews and ex- plains in detail his proposed plan for the reorganization of the navy depart ment and navy yards and asks for such legislation as may be needed to carry 1t into effect.

THE MARINER HLAckMAlL.
Men of High Position May Be impli-
 eated in the Embezzlement.

Cincinnati. Dec. S.-Charles l.. War riner, accodring to developments to- day, was compelled to make a cash set- tlment of S25,000 in lump to escape be- ing held In the clutches of blackmailers for 17 years to come.
 Prosecutor Hunt has in his possess sion 250 demand notes for $100 each, and they are alleged to have been pre- sented by a woman to Warriner for inn- mediate signature on September 26, 1905. These notes bear dates from Sep tember 26, 1905, up to August 21, 1922. The notes are said to be, part of the scheme of blackmaH.
 But Warriner baked on discounting the future, if is said, and paid the ,en- tire &25,000 at once instead of paying that amount in s18o iffstallnents dur- ing IT years.a Mariner, 1t is said, told the prosecutor that he sent the unsign- cd notes to man in Chicago. with a written explanation Of why he did not attach his signature.
 Mariners refusal to sign the notes did not free him from the grip of the blackmailers, because later he was compelled to pa- various sums ranging from $250 hotel bills to $1,000 for ex- penses for the benefit of a woman.
 Attorneys for Mrs. Ford insist that when the whole truth of the defalca- tion is known men of higher position in the railroad than those already un- der suspicion will be implicated and that the real shortage will be found to be many times in excess of the sum which has been given in Mariners s confession.

Formal Request from c.striIIo.

Dr. Salvador Castrillo the diplomatic agent of the provisional government of Nicaragua, and representative of the revolutionists here, today made a for nal request to Secretary Knox that he be received on equal terms with the agents of the zelaya government. This, naturally, will be informally, as neither the Nicaraguan representatives nor Dr. Castrillo have official standing here. While the state department has not rendered sny decision in the matter, it as generally believed that pr. Castril- los request will be granted.
 State Department Marking Time"
 Although it is making preparations for action, this government has resum- ed the calm that preceded the issue of Secretary Knox's note. There were no developments in the state department today, and Secretary Knox appeared bored when the subject of Nicaragua was mentioned. To all appearances the departfent ifs now marking tfme' until occasion arrives for further ac- ticn.
 It was said today that in all proba- bility the NfcardgLan consuls in this country would not be disturbed for the present at least, nor was 1t thought that the American consuls in Nicar- ague would be required to leave that country.

St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 3.-Meagre re- ports from Birchy Cove, Bay of Is- lands. on the west coast. indicate that four Gloucester, Mass, fishing schoon- CTS have been wrecked. As regards the loss of life, the reports are con- flicting. The schooners Clintonia, Henry Nj. Stanley and Mabel R.

 The crew of the vessel which is be- lieved to be the John R. Bradley had a narrow escape when their craft was driven on the rocks at the north arm of the Bay of Islands. They were res cued by the cruiser Fiona and taken to Birchy cove. As the coast is bleak and but sparsely inhabited, the crews of the other schooners may be safe in some locality remote from commun- ication.
