Should Should Issidae EXHIBIT iiff

There has never been a time
when it was more necessary for
New Mexico to make a complete
showing of it's resources to the
world at large than now.
Drouth in some of our less fav-
ored districts has caused re-
ports of suffering and loss to 90
out to the country which have
been greatly exaggerated and
which have done us a great deal
of injury.
1t is up to every district in the
territory to take active and vigor-
GUS steps to overcome this series
of false impressions which have
gone out, for to allow them to
stand now will not only work
seriously against the statehood
cause in congress during the
coming winter, but will just as
seriously retard the development
of the territory.
There is no better way to
prove to the world that we are
not the suffering community we
have been reported to be than
by making a great showing at
the resources exposition to be
held in Albuquerque, October IL
16 in connection with the annual
territorial fair. President Taft
will be there during the fair.
So will several members of his
cabinet and newspaper men
from all parts of the country,
who will travel with the Presi-
dent. We should show these
men what we have. They will
tell the country about it and the
result will be advertising of the
kind we need and of untold value.
This county should take steps
right now to get in line with
other counties and make a show
ing which will prove our worth.

|DHILy RAINS
THROUGHOUT
THE WILEY
Crops Growing like Weeds to
Make up for Lost Time
and Will Yet Ripen

/ While parts Of the Estancis
Valley may have been rather
Idry during the past summer,
there is no one complaining Of
the drought at this time al
the complaining, IS no the other
side. On last Saturday night a
good rain fell throughout most
Of the valley followed on Sunday
night by a soaker" which made
lakes, ponds and puddles Of
every indenture from one end Of
the valley to the other. The
way everything is growing Ii
nothing less than wonderful.
Even on the east side. where it
has been said no crops at all
would be harvested, there now
promises to be good growth Of
grass, sufficient to carry the.
stock through the winter. The
nutritious gramma, which has
lain dormant, apparently not
growing at all, has suddenly
burst into growth, and in many
places is already heading at a
height of from six to twelve
inches. This wonderful phen-
omenon is proving a miracle to
the newcomers who have never
seen the like before.
Allcrops are greatly benefited !
by the moisture, and much corn
which promised nothing more |
than fodder ten days ago, wilt
now make grain. Fall wheat, !
which has been soWn or will be
soWn soon, will get a spleneid |
Growth this fall aSslse-ins Z. & sS.-,
stand. The precipitation at Es- /
tancia was about two inches.
The streets soon became fish
ponds. In front of Goodin's
Livery, a notice was stuck up
that all fishers would be charged
at the rate Of two bits per hour.
Monte refuses to tell how manyI
customers he secured. J,
Another fine shower fell
throughout the valley yesterday
afternoon, Estancia and the roads
oeing regular ponds. The heavi-
'st precipitation was southwest,

Fair Exhibits

The Torrance county vice-presi-
dents of the Territorial Fair.
William Mcintosh and John W.
Corbett have issued a circular
letter, asking that all parts of
the county work together in
sending a display of vegetables
and farm products to Albuquer-
que next month, as a county ex-
hlbit. The various Boards of
Trade and Commercial Clubs are
called upon to select some one in
their town to have supervision
OF the collecting and shipping Of
the exhibit, the whole collection
to be exhibited at Albuquerque
as the Torrance county Exhibit.
Under the rules of the managers
OF the fair, as published in these
columns last week, it will be nee
essary that the exhibit be made
as a whole, in competition for
the county prizes. Such an entry,
however, will not detract in any
manner from entering such ex-
hlb!t in competition with any
other article in its class.
Whoever is named to have
charge of the exhibit from Estan-
cia, should get busy at once and
arrange to have a first class ex-
hibit. Some one of the farmers,
who can and will take an inter-
est should have charge of this
work. The crops are here for a
better exhibit than has ever been
sent to Albuquerque, and after
the knocking that has been
given the Estancia Valley by
some of the dailies, it is impera-
tive that the best and largest ex-
hibit possible should be sent, as
there will be a number of
'Missourians" and doubling
Thomases' at the Territorial
Fair.

Crops Burned up
In the Panhandle.

Burt Miller returned Wednes-
day of this week from a trip to
Groom, Texas, where he went in
search of work. He reports con
ditions in that portion of Texas
worse by far than here. On one
day he, with his brother:in-law
jeff Vermillion counted over one
hundred wagons, some of which
had left the Panhandle of Texas
coming west, and others who had
left eastern New Mexico going
east, looking for work. In
that vicinity everything has
burned up, according to Miller,
who says we are much better
off here"

IMMENSE GAlN
IS SHOWN BY
Tx ROLLS
Almost Nine Thousand Dollars
Gain in Taxes over. 1908
in Torrance County

At the special meeting of tht
board of county commissioners
held at the courthouse on lasI
Saturday, theJtax rolls of Tor
rance county for 1909 were re
ceived from the assessor, and
examined and approved by the
board. The books show an i'm
mense amount of careful work
on the part Of the assessor, and
present a striking contrast to
the books of previous years.
Everyone of the various pre-
cincts and school districts has it's
assessments carefully tabulated
and the taxes for each different
fund minutely carried out, every
item balancing to a penny. In
those cases where the owners of
property could not be ascertained,
each parcel Of land and each
town lot, is assessed separately
against Unknown Owners, =
instead of being punched as
heretofore. Should the owner
Of any one of these appear to
pay his taxes, the description
will be easily found, and one
glance will suffice to tell The
total amount due. The work of
the assessor has been the more
laborious on account of the fact
that the books heretofore have
been so very incomplete as to
the details of the work.
The total assessed valuation of
the property of the county is
shown as 81. 141, ,665. Exemp-
tons are allowed in the cum off |
$126, 800, leaving a total subject
to taxation as 81, OLA, 1865. The
total taxes for the various funds,
are $48, 1886, ,08. For 1908 the
tax rolls show a total assessed
valuation of $3.50, lis. 80 with ex-
Of $67, 483, leaving an
assessed valuation subject to
taxation of 1891 ,632.9 80, with a
total of taxes to be derived of
SAL ,302.02. On account of err
rors in the work and double
the county commits
sioners have during the year
made reductions from these
figures of $39, $50 in the assessed
valuation, and $1837.76 in the
axes. The net gain for 1909
over 1908 as shown by these
igures is 1886, 923.10 in the
AMOUNT Of the assessments and
q, 700.72 in the taxes. The gain
n the taxes of 1909 over 1908 is
.llnost twelve per cent. which is
indeed a good showing.
