CANNING FACTORY IS

For several years the citizens
OF Alamogordo have been dis
russins the possibilities # can

casious stock subscriptions were
solicited and the plant seemed
assured, but somehow always
failed 20 materiaIize.
There never was any doubt
about the desi-ability Of such a
plant, still the plant remained in
the future. Alamogordo has a
canning plan; now. not in the
future, but actually in Alamo
gordo.
This canning plant was bought
by the Alamogordo improvement
Co., from the Northwestern Steel
and Iron Co., Of Eau Claire. Wis,
at a cost of s1,5OO.OO. 1t has
been unloaded and partly con-
nected up in the building just
south Of Rouseau's garage. The
capacity is 5000 cans a day.
The company is now in cor
respondence with an expert CAN
ner at Roswell. If his services
are secured, the plant will be
put in operation some time next
week. A carload of $4,000 cans
is now on the road. The amount
of fruit the company will have
available for canning will depend
upon the amount of rainfall and
the amount of water available
for irrigation.
If the company successfully
handles its own fruit crop, it
may be possible for the plant to
can products for other fruit
growers. Assurances have been
received that it will be possible
to dispose of the entire output
of the plant without any Difficult
ty.

Two 0ld-Timers Tell About Life
in the Eighties
By GLOOMY Gus

Two real old-timers, in renin-
iscent mood. were sitting in the
county treasurer's office Monday
morning, half dreaming yet wide
awake, talking of the stirring
days in the early eighties. when
might was right, and the Win
chester and six shooter cunsti-
tuted che final court Of appeals.
They made the writer, with his
nine years of residence in the
west, sbrivel into an infant ten
derfoOt.
The two Old-timers were Mai.
W. II. II. Llewellyn, district at
torney, and Fred W. Pellman,
deputy treasurer. In 1882, the
Major was Indian Agent at Mes
calero, and Mr.. Pellman was his
chief clerk. Alamogordo was
then primitive desert, La Luz
very small settlement, and Tula-
rosa, with its population of some
four hundred Mexicans and half
a dozen Americans, was the
metropolis of the valley.
Las Cruces was then the near
est railroad point. Bands of In
dians occasionally came through
the valley, robbing and murder.
ing the unprotected. Maj. Lew
ellyn received bis appointment
as Indian Agent in 1881. He
made the journey with his fam
lily in a prairie schooner across
from Las Cruces. The party left
the camping place where Cox's
ranch is now located, one morn
ing just a few hours behind an
other emigrant party. When
the Llewellyn party reached the
White Sands, the other party
was found there. The Mexican
and his wife and children had
been murdered by one of the
marauding bands Of Indians.
The Llewellyn party left the
trail, hoping to. avoid the In-
dians, and reached Mescalero in
safety. The complaint is some-
times made that even now we
have to endure hardships here.
When . comparison is made with
conditions in the eighties, IL
would seem that real hardships
are no more.

SECRETARY JAFFA returns

The way is prepared for the ad

tary Nathan Jaffa who returned to-
day from a 80 days vacation visit in
Washington, d. c.. and New York.
There is no doubt that the powers
at the National Capital expect favor
able tidings from New Mexico on
Jan. p and would be greatly disap-
pointed if the constitution were not
approved. From a conversation | had
with President Taft a the White
HOuse on Saturday, | am certain that
he approves the New Mexico consti
tuition, and not only that, but that he
is nightly pleased with it. He has
remarkable memory for New Mexi-
co facts and incidents and spoke
pleasantly of the territory and its
people. Every one in the East seems
to regard statehood as an assured
fact in which the approval of the con-
sttution next week, is the only link
necessary to complete the structure"
Mr. Jaffa says that financial condi-
tons in the East are good that pros
perily prevails. The plays and op
eras in New York this season are
| especially meritorious and attractive
Mr.. Jaffa came home via Roswell
where he left Mrs. Jaffa visiting rel
atiyes, as he will return to Roswell
next week to vote for the constitu-
ton and will then return with Mrs
Jaffa and son Benarthur. Their
daughters Julia and Elanor who ac-
companied him to New York have re-
turned to school at Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Jaffa confirms the news that
Chaves county will give rousing ma
jority for the constitution.
