EXPERIMENT WORK N
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Means of Preventing Dust and
Preserving Roads
CIRCULAR FROM DEPT
OF AGRICULTURE

Washington. ID. c., July IS.
Experiments were made dur
ing the summer of 1909 at Wash
ington, ID. c., Youngstown, Ohio,
and Ithaca, n. Y, with different
preparations for the prevention
Of dust and the preservation of
roads.
At Washington, waste sulphite
liquor was used on macadam
driveway subjected to light traf-
fic. Sulphite liquor is a dense
sticky liquid produced in the
manufacture of wood pulp. 1t
was applied in mixtures with
water in varying proportions.
The results show that it has but
little value as a permanent road
treatment, but that in concen-
trated form it may be classed as
a temporary or semi-permanent
dust preventive and road bind
er.
AT Youngstown, blast furnace
Stag was used alone and in diff
ferent combinations with lime,
sulphite liquor, and tar to deter
mine the best method of utiliz-
ing Stag for road construction.
While sufficient time has not
elapsed since these experiments
were made to show definite and
permanent results, it is believed
that they will be valuable in de-
termining what combinations
will produce the best road.
At Ithaca, tar, oil, artificial
asphalt preparations, brick, ce-
ment, and Stag were used with
varying results.
All of these experiments are
fully described, with results pro-
duced in each case, and a report
on experiments formerly made,
in Circular 93 of the Office OF
Public Roads, U. 5. Department
of Agriculture.

College Catalogues Hero

The New Mexico Baptist Col

catalogues were printed by the
Holmes Press of Hamburg, Iowa,
and the work is good.
The people who are behind
this institution are striving earn
estly and faithfully to make the
school a powerful factor in train
ing and developing the young
people of New Mexico. They
need and they deserve t h e

Weigeles' Anniversary

1t was happy, merry making
crowd that gathered last Monday
evening at the Weigele home to
celebrate the thirtieth auniver-
sary of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Weigele. 1t spite of the fact
that Mr.. and Mrs. Weigele were
celebrating their thirtieth we'd
ing anniversary, they are still
youthful in spirit. They like to
entertain, and they know how to
entertain. There were delicious
refreshments served, there was
dancing in which nearly the en-

gordo orchestra furnishing the

happy party but who wished for
the jolly couple many happy re-

Judge Falls Visit

Judge Albert B. Fall of Three
Rivers was here Monday after
noon and Tuesday. He spent
the greater part of the time in
conference with the political
leaders, both republican and
democratic, trying to ascertain
the sentiment of the people, and
urging the elimination of party
lines and prejudice in the coming
election of constitutional dele
gates. In the briefest sort of an
interview THE News man gather
ed the impression that Judge
Fall was pleased with the condi-
tion in which he found matters
in Alamogordo, and in OterO
county generally. The prevail
ing opinion appears to be that
the men best qualified to serve
ought to be elected, irrespective
of party affiliations.

MAYOR BYRON SHERRY
WRITES An OPINION
Discusses Act Authorizing Incor-

OPINION REQUESTED
BY THE TRUSTEES
Gentlemen -

Uentlemen -
In compliance with your re-
quest for Information as to the
various provisions of law of this
Territory applicable to incorpo-
rated villages, | will state as
follows:
The Village Alamogordo was
incorporated under an act entitl-
ed AN Act Providing for the
Incorporation of Villages in the
Territory of New Mexico" Ap-
proved March Is, 1909.
This act contains grant of
powers and repeals certain sec
tions of the act in the Compiled
Laws of 1897 relating to muni-
cipal corporations. 1t is contend
ed by some, however, that the
Village act of 1909 contains all
the law now applicable to incor-
porated villages in the Territory
of New Mexico, and that in the
exercise of our powers as an in
corporated village, we are limit
ed to the strict letter of that act.

WONDERFUL BLIND NAN
LIVING At Ia LUZ
Performs Unerringly the Work Of
the Seeing
OTHER INTERESTING
ITEMS OF La LUZ

La Luz boasts Of a blind man
who is the greatest blind man in
New Mexico. He is a native of
this place. This man travels the
streets of the entire town almost
as we'll as a man with two good
eyes. He knows just where ev-
cry bridge is (or ought to be)
and it is very seldom. indeed
that he misses the bridge or
falls. He lives all alone, doing
his own cooking and chores. He
lights his lamp when night comes
and sits by the table, just as
anyone else might do; he never
turns the light too high or too
low. but just right. He does his
own irrigating in his garden, Or
chard, etc. He hoes his own
corn and chill patch, and it is
very seldom that he cuts a hill.
He is something of a carpenter,
and with the necessary tools can
do as we'll as many men with
their eyesight. This man can
level ground preparatory to
planting garden just as we'll as
if he could see. He walks over
the ground and his touch is 80
keen that with his feet he can
tell the high places, even though
it be but an inch or two from
the lower ground. He says that
next election he intends to run
for Acequia boss, and there is
no doubt he could do the work.
Those fellows up at Mountain
Park are still touching off a few
cherries; they really remind one
of an unfortunate who has the
measles-cherry pie will catch
anybody if they are seeded.
This, of course, is a hard job and
most people beg to be excused.
But in prohibition states they
raise branded cherries in order
to get their skins full. Yes,
there are still some cherries at
Mountain Park.

According TO the last year book
of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, there are 2l.120.0O0 milch
cows in the United States, and
these are worth S102, ,945, 900. 90.
The magnitude of the industry

cows produce yearly about
81 200, 900. 10000 worth of dairy
products.
There is no other branch of
diversified agriculture SO import
ant to the progress of commun-
ity. The fertility of the soil can
best be maintained by the liberal
use of barnyard manure and the
dairy herd not only makes this
possible, but dairying is also
more remunerative than other
branches of farming when prop
erly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent of the
