Memorial Day

The Iularosa Tribune publishes
the following notice to the New
MeEieo Grand Army from De-
partment Commander Long, of
/ Tuiarosa:
Headquarters Dept. of N. M, G..
A. r,
My Dear Comrades:
Once more the time rolls around
to- Memorial Day. To us, who
still! remain Of the one million
conrad s, who have passed over
the Great River, this is the most
sacred day of the year. In a lit
tie while, we too, will go over to
join our comrades in the better
land. Our children and our chill
dren's children will then place
flowers upon our graves, We are
passing away at the rate of about
10000 year. In fifteen years
or twenty at the most, there will
not be a corporal's guard of us
left.
It's hoped that every soldiers
grave, Federal and Confederate
alike, will be decorated, If there
is a poor old confederate widow
or mother in your community,
see 4 that day and give
her the best you have in Friend
ship, Charity and GoodfelIowship,
Let her feel that we respect her
as the mother or widow of a dead
hero.
1t is suggested that you meet
in the churches on Memorial Day,
Sunday, the 29th day Of May,
and that a comrade explain, be-
fore the sermon to the younger
generation, why we observe this
day and that we expect to turn
it over to them, to be observed
in the same way after awhile. It
will be fitting and proper for us
to meet in a social way on Deco
ration Day. but let us frown upon
all forms Of gambling that day.
Your Comrade in F. C and L.

of New Mexico, G. A. R.

cla a city of from 5000 to 5000
people? And this amount will
be under irrigation within
three years. Mr.. Hagerman
also states, that the loss in the
Northern Canal, beginning
near Roswell and irrigating
lands near Dexter and Hager-
man, from Is to rs miles away,
was from Is to 80 per cent for
the first couple of years. Of
course now the loss is less thaa
fourteen per cent, or one Ier
cent per mile. Please note the
advantage on saving of water
by pumping the water ON each
parcel of land, where no one
ditch can exceed one mile,
where the loss will be only one
per cent instead of fourteen at
the point of measurement.as
Is jhe case in the Pecos Valley.
This item alone is worthy of
consideration as the farmer OF
land owner must pay these
bills.
There are many features of
this kind that tend to make
a system as proposed by the
Western Construction Compa-
ny and installed by the Estan-
cia Irrigation Company, of
advantage over the ditch or
reservoir system, which the
Esta ncia Valley people will be
unable to appreciate until the
plant is in operation for at
least a year or two.

ly and at the Right
Time

The Western Construction
Company representatives have
made numerous statements as
to what water would do when
properly distributed and at Just
the right time on the Estancia
Valley soil. They have said
that this soil would produce
on a very conservative basis
two hundred bushels of pota
toes per acre and at forty cents
per bushel, would mean eighty
dollars per acre. That, after
deducting all expenses for seed,
planting, cultivating, irrigat-
png, meeting water rights, dig
ging, sacklng and hauling to
market, amounting to thirty
dollars per acre, would leave a
net profit Of fifty dollars on
every acre cultivated. This
would be twenty five per cent
on land value of 5000 per acre.
There is no question but that
much largarreturns can be had
from such vegetables as cab
bage, onions, celery and very
probably such fruits as apples,
cherries and plums. T h e n
comes that which costs very
little for seed and can be raised
V ry proftably. Last, but not
least, comes alfalfa. There is
very little doubt but that we
can raise one seed crop and
Two hay cuttings per season.
With seed at ten dollars per
bushe aud hay at ten dollars
per ton, would net from forty
to .fty dollars net to the far
mer. Land values in the east
ern rain belt and in the central
states, are based on what the
lands produce and in most To-
,calitles land is selling at from
one hundred to two hundred
and fifty dollars per acre and
rental income amounting to
less than five per cent on the
money investment.

TOLSTOY PASSES
RESTLESS NIGHT
Erroneous Runner Announced His
Death and Theaters Were Closed
Throughout Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 17.-Au.
thoritative dispatches received here
this afternoon declare that Count Leo
Tolstoy is still alive. He passed a
very restless night, however, In the
hut OF the railroad trackmen at Asia
povo, whore he is lying critically i'll,
and today has a temperature Of 1O4.
The FIRST dispatch regarding the
counts supposed death came from
Prince Oblensky and was everywhere
believed Throughout all Russia thea
ters were closed last night, social en-
tertainments cancelled and messages
OF coincidence sent to the countess.
Other messages had declared that IN
his dying moments the count refused
10 be reconciled 10 his wife, and that
the latter had been denied entrance
10 the death rooII. These dispatches
caused auclional eYl ressions of grief
even from Tolstoy's aristocratc and
enemies, and as conse-
quence in the reaction today that fol-
lowed the announcement that he Is
still alive, ToIstoy is being regarded
with kindlier feelings in practically
every circle OF Russian life than be-
fore.

BIG STEAMERS COLLIDE
BUT DAMAGE is SLIGHT
Accident to Prince Frederick Wilhelm
and Lorraine In North River
Due to Strong Tide.

NEW YORK, Nov 17.-While the
North German Lloyd Liner Prince
Friedrich Wilhelm and the French
Liner Lorraine were starting on their
outward voyage today they collded in
the North river. Both steamers i'm
mediately returned TO their piers to
determine just how much damage had
been done.
The accident is believed to have
been caused by the strong tide that
was running which made both steam
ers more or less unmanageable. The
Lorraine drove big hole into the
stern OF the Friedrich Wilhelm and
was damaged about the bows. Tugs in
the vicinity whistled an alarm and
many river craft headed for the scene
In the belief that one OF the steamers
was in a bad way. However, both
captains refused assistance and made
their piers in safety.
There was much excitement among
the passengers for a few moments
but 1t was plain that there was no
real danger and the timid were hur-
rledly treasured
