Aged Samuel Bonner Tells Spokane
Police of Crime He Committed in
81 I nmiS


Police of Crime He Committed in
st. Louis.
Spokane, Wash.-Telling a weird
story that he had murdered a man in
Lafayette park, st. Louis. Mo-, and
had attempted to murder his partner
as well Samuel Bonner, 76 years old
and decrepit, walked into police head
quarters and offered to give himself
up to the authorities. Bonner first
unfOlded his tale to Secretary Lee
Hopper in the chiefs office.
Before Sergeant Macdonald, Chief
Doust and Detective Edwards the old
man repeated his story. He stated
that the man, Fred McHugh, had lur-
ed him to the park, where he and his
chum had robbed him Of considerable
money, whereupon he assailed them
with a club, killing McHugh and Sc
riOusly wounding the other man
whose name, apparently. he did not
know. Bonner appeared to have the
idea that he was still in st. Louis and
that the crime had been committed
only a few minutes before he had re-
ported it.
When asked when he had come tc
Spokane, the old man denied that he
had ever been in such a place, al
though he had heard of it. He claim
ed to know something about other
northwestern cities, but knew little
about Spokane. The rambling nature
of the old mans remarks left nc
doubt in the minds o. the officers thai
Il ie it,1 "a md
cided to lock him up for safekeeping
until his mental condition can be in
vestigated more thoroughly

lFrom wednesday,s Jorunal.)

iFrOn w cNutSddN JOfundl,)
The highest price on record was
reached for cattle in the Portland
yards for this season Of the year when
% head from Heppner sold at $500.
This was for a selected lot of well
bred steers that averaged 1856
pounds.
The record price for cattle was
paid at North Portland this morning
IN the face of a general weakness in
the trade Throughout the United States.
While there has been a great sur
plus of poor stuff in the North Port
land yards. as well as elsewhere, the
market has shown scarcity of top
pcrs. and for that reason buyers have
been inclined to be more liberal with
shippers, of this stock during the past
As hours.
There was only small run of cat
tie in the local yards today, the one
load arriving being from Heppner.
There Is no scarcity of stock, however
for in addition to the liberal holdings
already in the hands of killers, the
stock train Is due in time FOR tomor-
rows market ana some Is loads Of
cattle are expected, besides liberal
sprinkling of sheep and lambs

N.Cn only a small showing of hogs
In the yards a total of 60 head being
.ceived since last Thursday, it was
tie natural that the best stuff
'uld sell as high as $7.75 today. The
lot that reached the top averaged 236
pounds, which would indicate that
still higher stuff of quality would
bring a dime above this.
The few hogs that came forward
today to North Portland was of such
small volume that prices were scar
cely tested There was not enough
for bidders to make any fight over and
for that reason the competition was
not very keen. despite the fact that
the swine trade was starved.

tally, few months ago:
It would appear that the rapid and in fact, I'M
paralleled development Of the Mimbres Valley
around Dening had been so fully demonstrated that
no further endorsement would be necessary. Even
people who have not visited the wonderful valley are
coming to appreciate the vast change which few
years have witnessed. The farmers of the Mimbres
have been the pioneers In the pumping irrigation
propaganda and the resurrection of the lost river to
water farms and gardens is one of the wonders Of the
southwest.
The Deming country is certainly attracting at
tentOn of the big ones and there is not week that
some one of especial prominence does not go there
for investigation into their agricultural possibilities
They have heard Of the wonderful success in pump
ing for irrigation and want to know of the facts from
first hands And it is fact that one can dispute
no person ever goes away without being impressed
favOrably with the SOIL climate, water and future
prospects.
There is no disposition on the part Of any one to
hurry any man's Investigations They want them all
to take all the time they want to fully convince them
selves that the Demng country is the very best irT
cation proposition in the Southwest, and when they
get through there is never anything but favorable
reports
The other day the Deming country entertained
distinguished guest in the person Of Hon. Leroy 0.
Moore chief Of the field division Of the Department
of the Interior, General Land Office, who was on
tour of investigation on his own account. He came,
he saw and was conquered. He was sufficiently i'm
pressed that he wrote the GRAPHIC in the follow
ing language, which we believe can hardly be misun-
derstOod:
~ believe that Deming and vicinity is destined
to become one of the great agricultural portions Of
the territory through your pumping facilities which
to date have been entirely satisfactory and success
full and can see no reason for these facilities be-
coming lessened in the future"
In view Of all the developments there is no mis-
taking the fact that our distinguished friend knew
whereof he spoke and that he thoroughly understood
the situation.
G. L. Brooks, of Albuquerque, after investigat-
ing Deming and the Mimbres Valley for several days
with company of fellow Albuquerqueans, spoke as
follows:
George L. Brooks Of this city, who sunk deep
well and installed pump in Deming In 1894, was
one of the most interested members of the excursion
party from this city. Mr.. Brooks personally cross
examined each farmer whose plant was visited and
took down note book full Of exact and complete data
which he is now tabulating. Mr. Brooks is CON
servative business man but he is enthusiastic in his
summing up Of the results of the trip.
GAS result of this trip, said Mr. Brooks yes

ID Press and Other Comment Concerning ~
y Deming and the Mimbres Valley =

Perhaps no other community in New Mexico has
been so much in the limelight in the last two years
Deming and the Mimbres Valley The calcium of
publicity has been turned on and the weak as well
the strong points Of this rapidly growing section
have been canvassed by keen and competent seekers
after.the truth.
Only few weeks ago Lee A Phillips of Los
Angeles, Calf, investigated the NIimbres Valley
with view of determining the loan value Of its lands
for The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. He
passed favorably upon the valley, and his company
is now loaning vast sums Of money for the actual de-
velopment Of its farming lands Mr. Phillips is per-
haps the largest individual farmer in the state Of
California. He is president Of four development
companies He is associate counsel in charge Of loans
for the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. He knows
land and irrigation by heart He has spent his life
In the work. He not only approved the Mimbres
Valley for lOans but went out of his way to say that
the soil OF this valley is the richest that he had found
Ia New Mexico. Pumping water for irrigation IN
the Alimbres Valley" said Mr. Phillips, is safer,
surer more economic more effective and more profit
able than irrigating with gravity bitches except I'M
der absolutely ideal conditions which are very sell
dom found. F"
q. B. Henning, Secretary of the New Mexico
Bureau Of immigration, records his opinion as fol
lows:
lam very glad to have your letter Of October 26,
and assure you that everything that has occurred
since my letter you about two years ago has served
to strengthen my faith in the pumping proposition
in the Mimbres Valley.
have always been believer in the ultimate de
veopment of pumping for irrigation, not only your
valley, but in many other sections of New Mexico,
there is the tremendous advantage of the under
ground reservoir furnishing protection from loss by
evaporation, the independence Of the wateruser in
having the supply always at his hand and without
dependence upon an irrigation system Of his neigh
bors. Recently had occasion to visit the Mimbres
Valley and was shown number of your pumping
plants III actual operation. From being mere be-
lever, Ihave become an ardent advocate Of pumping
as a result Of the demonstration you have made.
I went over several Of your farms which are be-
ing irrigated by pumping studied the cost Of lifting
and delivering the water and examined the crops
While the investigation was not as thorough as I
would like to have made it was sufficient to convince
me absolutely that pumping in the Mimbres Valley
is sound, and that it will develop into great and
profitable irrigation industry.
This is my frank opinion on the matter and YOU
quite free to make such use Of it as you desire
Yours very truly,
II. B. HENNING,
Secretary Bureau Of immigration Of New Mexico
