Parents May. have the Child

Just as we went to press last
week, Manuel S. Sanchez and
J. G. Francisco Gonzalez report
ed the finding of an infant only a
few hours DID,, in the road near
the Sanchez home, six miles
southwest of Estancia. A rider
was seen rapidly approaching
and when near the house, dis
mounted, laying down bundle.
Then quickly re-mounting, road
away at breakneck speed. ]. I.
Rawson and Capt. Logan were
at the Sanchez home at the time
and together the four gentlemen
examined the bundle to find a
husky male child, apparently a.
bout twenty-four hours old, The
little thing was taken into the
house and tenderly cared for.
Anatascio Torres and wife, at
once expressed their desire of
adopting the child.
Messrs. Sanchez and Gonzalez
thinking that possibly the little
one had been kidnapped asked
us to state the facts as to the
finding of the child, and also if
it was a case of kidnapping, and
the parents desired to gain pos
session of the child, they could
do so. If not, Mr.. and Mrs. Tor
res will gladly take the child and
raise it as their own. giving it a
good home and loving care.
The little one is fortunate in
falling into the hands of those
who found it, as it will have as
good a home, if not better, than
it could have had, had its own
parents retained it.

GOOD Rims
In VALLEY
Portions of Valley Assured of
Good Crop

Rains in varying quantities
have fallen throughout the val
ley this week, practically all
portions of the valley having re-
ceived more or less moisture. To
the north and west the rains
have been especially heavy. In
the Silverton neighborhood, the
storm on Monday evening was a
regular gullywasher, several of
the draws running full, the low
lands being covered with water.
In the Antelope district heavy
showers fell on both Monday and
Tuesday evenings, wetting the
ground to a good depth. While
the precipitation in town was
not so great on Tuesday even
ing, a slow rain fell for severa
hours, doing much good. Beans,
potatoes and feed are practically
sure to make a crop on all old
land, and a large part of that on
sod, while corn in portions OF
the valley stands a good show.

Breaks a Limb

Walter Rawson, an employe of
the local railroad shops, was
thrown from his horse, Monday
evening and suffered a complete
transverse fracture of his right
thigh bone. He was removed to
the home of his parents and
everything possible was done for
his comfort.
Walter seems to have struck a
streak of bad luck recently, as
he has just recovered from a
broken arm, received by falling
off his horse. The physicians
give Walter credit for a great
deal of nerve, as he never finch
ed during the operation of reduc-
ing the fracture. Considering
Walters record this year, it is
probablya combination of nerve
and practic.

Drill Moved to Garvin's Place
he can see it

The Estancia Irrigation Com
pany, through its directors, in
consultation with the promoters,
representing the Western Con-
struction Company, have decided
to abandon the test well on the
farm of j. M. Shaw, north of
town. In removing the casing
on Wednesday, the we'll caved in
to a depth Of one hundred feet.
1t was decided to move the drill
to the farm of E. L. Garvin and
put down another well and make
test there. Those in charge of
the work have become more de-
termined than ever, and will put
on 10th day and night shifts in
order to rush the work. There
has been a great deal of comment
en- the part of the wiseacres, as
is always the case, but this has
not discouraged the work in the
least; who merely say that they
are satisfied the water is here and
are mined to prove their
contentious.
Under the Portales project five
per cent of the wells were dry
wells" and in some instances
within half a mile of one of these
a we'll would be brought in fur
nishing 1000 gallons per minute.
In this case it is hoped that the
old saying "a bad beginning
makes good ending" will hold
good, and perseverance will make
it true. All oil wells are not gush-
ers by a great deal, neither are
all water wells producers.
At a meeting at Valley View
school house the farmers of that
district after listening to the ex-
plantations Of the promoters, 800
acres were subscribed yesterday
with 1000 acres more partially
promised. The entire community
appeared to be enthused over the
prospects and no doubt it will go
in that vicinity.
One good we'll in the upper
valley will bring more encourage
ment to the people than anything
else could possibly do at this time
and those in charge are going to
have that first well, so stretch
your patience a mite more.

THE INITIATIVE

1t is proposed, ther efore, 10 give to
ertain percentage of the qualified vot-
ers in any political body the power to
cprepare and present petitions for pro-
posed laws to the whole body of voters.
This is the exact equivalent of motion
in any club or society, save that con-
siderable number of Seconds" is re-
quired. That is, each signer OF the
petition really Seconds" the motion to
adopt the matter proposed in the petit
tion. Such action is the initiative.
1t is sometimes said that the people
need only to elect officials favorable to
desired laws, and that thereby all need
for the device known as the. initiative
will vanish. The fallacy in.this position
comes from the fact that our officials
have many duties. An officer may be
highly esteemed and very satisfactory
in nearly all relations, but at the same
time be quite at variance with the peo-
pie on some question held by them to be
important. Why shall we maintain a
system that either deprives us of the
efficient officer or of measure that We
believe to be expedient?
An officer was elected by majority OF

Already there is talk among the
