Agricultural College in Error.

It must be from ignorance of the
facts, as none Of US believe 1t would
be a desire of the New Mexico Col
lege Of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts TO send out any misleading
statements, yet when the agronomist
says that alfalfa is not a profitable
crop where water has TO be pumped
over Is or Is feet, he is stating
something absolutely misleading and
positively not true to the facts as
they exist in the Deming country
today.
Successful farmers in the MINI
bres Valley during the past year
have grown alfalfa at a splendid
profit, that is, we figure that Sll2.50
per acre is a fairly reasonable profit,
and water has been pumped not less
than 45 to 55 feet by electric or
gasoline engines.
We suggest that the agronomist
address letters to John hund, Z. T..
Hicks, Sam Schwing, Solignac q
Lesbos, j. J. Jacobsen, Frank Cox,
or any of our alfalfa raisers, and
have them put him in possession Of
the facts. The Agricultural Col
lege is a power for good when facts
are obtained and given to the pub
lie, and the reverse is the case wher
through lack of knowledge on any
subject, misstatements are made.
We cordially invite any or al
heads of departments of the Colleg'
to come over and be convinced
Deming is ready and willing tC
SHOW them."

manly lieutenant were Corporal
Lane, Trumpetcr Malloy, Privates
Cassidy, Kastner, Nickshick and
Postel and Packer Powers with a

The appearance and department

drama will soon have an opportuni-
ty of gratifying their desire at the

the United Play Co.'s offering Of
THE Climax" by Edward Locke will

Lewis Flats is putting on a heap
of airs just now over the big well
Just completed by Wilson & Nye for
John Smyer. The well is a remark
able one in that IT has five strata of
water-bearing gravel which insures
a never-ceasing flow Of from ten to
twelve hundred gallons per minute.
The three-foot pit Is 45ft. deep.
Following this is 23-ft. Of 24-in and
29-ft. Of lS-in. pipe. The boys are
certain that a twelve-hundred gallon
flow is an easy estimate and that
the well will prove one Of the best
in the valley. Quite naturally Mr..
Smyer is very much pleased and
will develop his extensive holdings
in a manner that will make 'em all
sit up and take notice.

Sad Death of Roy Inmon.

The whole of Luna county was
shocked, Sunday morning to learn
of the sudden and untimely death
of Roy lnmon. one of our best
known and highly respected young
farmers, and for some time a school
officer at Hermanas, who was just
preparing to develop fine tract OF
land near Columbus. He was as

Mr.. lnmon thought he would in
vestigate matters below, a distance
of rs feet, and had descended to
within about six feet of the bottom,
when the casing collapsed and pinned
him in such a manner as to cause
injuries which resulted in his death
The accident occurred about five
O'Clock Saturday'afternoon and hi'
suffering was ended in death th'
following morning at eight. DIR
Swope was notified and flew acros
the country in his machine In 2!
hours, but the injuries were too sc

remains were brought to DENIM

Journey to convey them to the oil
home In Texas, where Mrs. limo
had gone for visit and was all Ut
conscious of the terrible fate ths

The other three gentlemen n
ceived more or less severe injurie
but by crouching in a small cavii

There are many lessons to be
learned from the present reciproci-
ty with Canada agitation In Wash
ington, and the arrangement sub
mitted by President Taft to congress
ought to command the attention Of
every person who contemplates
farming in this section Of the South
west.
At a recent convention of dairy
men held in Canada, one of the
speakers. discussing the reduction
OF duties imposed by Uncle Sam.
said:
That we are not getting the pric-
es we ought TO get, and that we
would secure under proper market
conditions, has been made abun-
dainty evident during the past sea-
son. We have been getting eleven
cents for cheese. while just across
the ribbon Of water formed by the
st. Lawrence fifteen cents was be-
| ing paid. We have seen twenty
four cents ruling for butter in
Montreal against 80 cents in New
York. We have even had little
taste of the value Of the American
market. In 1907 we sold $24 worth
of milk and cream in the American
market. In the year just closed, as
the result Of the removal of one
rail from the tariff fence. as a re-
suit of the change Of the United
States tariff on cream from five
cents per pound to five cents per
gallon, we sold one and one-quarter
million dollars worth Of cream in
the American market. What we
need is full and free access to the
market with all our daily products
, 10 the market in which seventy per
cent of the people are consumers OF
farm products and In which only
thirty per cent are producers of the
same. II is time farmers and dai-
rymen gave voice to their needs II
this respect"
Markets for the Deming country
, are right at our door. The mines
railroads, stock ranches and cities oI
this section furnish employment Il
thousands of people who produc'
, nothing TO eat. These wants are
now supplied by distant farmers
dairymen. gardeners, fruit grower
and chicken raisers. Every pound
of food products consumed in ou
natural market area, must stan'

BRUNO'S FRANKNESS
 SAVES HIM LIBERTY

"I thought he was going to hit me. and I struck first We fought a while, and when I tired him out, 1 got him around the neck and handed him an upper" said James Bruno, aged 20. driver of a coal cart, believ- ing himself thoroughly justified in giving a walloping to Stanley Kubali- ski, of the same age. after Stanley had insulted him from the curb near the east end of the Stratford avenue bridge.
 sJudse Foster was amused at the naive explanation of the youthful pris- oner, and after explaining to the lad that in future he must report such insults to the police and not take the law into his own hands, said because the prisoner had told the truth he wouldn't send Bruno to jail despite a police record against him.
 He fined Bruno $7 and costs, and Kubaliski s5 and costs.

NEGRO FATALLY
 WOUNDED AFTER
 RUNNING AMUCk
Especial from United Press )

II
 New York, May 18.-It is not be- iieved, today, that John Kane. the negro who ran amuck, last night, and killed two men outright, fatal ly wounding two and badly wounding about dozen others. will live to stand trial for his crime. At the hospital it was stated that he will probably die from the effects of a bullet wound in his body and a frac- tured skull from a blackjack blow. Of his victims, no hope is held out for Policeman McGraw and Gustav Gindblen. The bodies of John Hall, a postoffice clerk, and Saxon SureT. slashed to death by the enraged negro, were taken to their homes, to- day.
 The wholesale slaughter resulted when a white man, who later escaped unscathed, demanded that the negro stop smoking while riding on the platform of an elevated train, last night.

Especial from United Press.1

South Norwalk, May 1S.-Compari~ sons indicating that the rates for electricity charged by the local muni- cipal plant are one-third less than the rates charged by the private monopoly furnishing the current in New York City, attracted favorable notice here, today.

The local rates are claimed to be a. third lower than the greatly reduced rates contemplated for New York.
