Former Audrain Citizen Tells Of
Conditions in The PeCoS

Lake Arthur, Nm. July l7.19ll.
EDITOR MESSAGE-As a good
many of our friends back in old
Audrain have asked me for infor-

pleasure in answering them all
through the columns of our good
old Message" A it has been
more than a year and half
since We took up our abode in this
Land of Sunshine. Artesian Wells
and Prosperity, feel that | can
speak with some authority upon
conditions here.
First let me say that while We
will always have a warm place in
our heart, for old Missouri and
especially Audrain County. vet
we love The Great Golden West

The Pecos Valley is hardly Il
valley at all in the common ac-
ceptance of the term, it is rather
a great treelcsN plain stretching
from the Peco, River on the east
side to the Rocky Mountains a
hundred miles west with a gradual
slope upward from the River to
the mountains. This vast plain is
naturally the home of the coyote,

vegetation but the cactus. mesquit.
soap-wced and two or three Va
rietics of hardy grasses. But
about the year 1902 it was discoy-
cred that under portion of this
fertile plain flows the greatest un-
derground river in the world.
Since that discovery hundreds of
artesian wells have been drilled
and are pouring their life giving
fluid upon the barren plain and
transforming it intoa garden spot.
Roses have replaced the cactus,
fruit trees the mesquite and glor-
ious fields of alfalfa take the place
OF the dry native grasses.
The climate is about as near per-

Good Roads Bulletin.

Now is the time to build good roads.
Don't delay until the busy fall season
comes and when The days get short. The
rains cause delays and make road work
expensive and prevent your having roads
in good shape for winter and spring.
Cut the weeds and burn them. so as not
only making the road look better, but Get
rid OF the seed.
Widen your roads where needed to get
sufficient road material.
Roads should be built high enough so
they can be made to drain properly. and
where water stands on side of road will
not soften same.
Oreanize a Road Dragging Club, and
have a drag at least every mile. Drag the
roads with a system. Manufactured drags
can be bought for $1,000 delivered. and
can be made ut home for even less.
Clean out the bitches, so that the water
will flow ireely-a ditch that overflows
often could be cleaned at practically no
expense, when il not attended to and
throws water down a hill. will make a very
heavy expense to repair a road, by simply
a matter Of neglect.
Put in permanent cement bridges and
culverts-eood for a thousand ycaB-in
place OF spending all the road money each
year repairing bridges and culverts and
have no funds left for road work.
Corrugated iron culverts are reasonable
in price. easily handled and installed, and
arc permanent when cement bridges can
not be installed.
Don't forget what you said last winter
and spring when you swere pulling your
wagon through the mud up to the hub
think OF your horses at least.
Don't forget with good roads you can
market your stock and crops when prices
are satisfactory.
Don't forget you can attend to your
city work il you have good roads, when
work on farm cant be done.
Hold school-house meetings. 90 at road
work with a system. Start at once and
don't delay.
Build that five miles of gravel or stone
road, for what Others have done you can
do. and you will be surprised what can be
done with united effort.
Now you have read this, telephone your
neiehbon. Get busy, and get busy quick

ANOTHER TRAGEDY
NARROWLY AvERTED.
Two Girls Barely Escape Death From
Hunters Bullets.

On Wednesday last, just one week af-
ter the fatal tragedy in which Constant
E. Steelman and Thomas j. c. Youse,
Of Pleasantville, lost their lives, there
came near being a repetition Of the
event with two young girls as the vic
Tins. Miss Irene Chapman and Miss
Hollenback, twelve-year old girls, were
walking on Spruce Avenue, near the
lakewood schoolhouse, when they saw
black shot pass in front of them In
fact so close did the shot come to the
girls that one passed through a calen-
dar Miss Chapman held in her hand, and
which by the natural swing of her arm
was slightly in advance of her at the
time. making hole in the calendar a
quarter of an inch in diameter Had
the young ladies been one step more
forward, they would have received the
full discharge of the gun and today The
Pleasantville Press would probably have
been calleu upon to record another dou-
BILE fatal tragedy. 1t is not positively
known who did the shooting, but it IS
believed to have been colored man
from Atlantic City. At any rate, hu-
man life is too dear to allow such reck-
less handling of guns, and we urge our
officials to take such action at once
as may be necessary to assure our peo-
pie protection from the careless hand
ling of deadly weapons.

FARMERS Will
HEAR EXPERTS
Matters of Great Importance
Will Be Discussed
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND DEC. 8 AND g
OterO Agricultural Club on First Date
and the Farmers Institute Is
Scheduled for the Two
Last Days

Farmers throughout this section
are looking forward to what prom
ises to be two of the most important
meetings in their interest that have
ever been held in Rocky Ford.
AT tomorrow's meeting of the
| Otero Agricultural club the members
have the assurance that Prof. C. o.
Townsend of the Department of Ag
riculture will be present and deliver
a lecture The Insects and Plant Dis
ease Problems" and as Prof. Town
send has made an exhaustive study
OF the diseases of sugar beets it may
be expected that his lecture will be
one of the most instructive that has
ever been heard here on this very
important subject.
Every farmer, it matters not
whether he is member OF the club
or not, is invited to attend this meet
ing, which will be held at the usual
place-the A. b. S. Co. clubroom,
and they should all make point of
attending. as there is always a dis
cussion at the club meetings of some
question interesting to the farmers,
and they one and all will surely hear
something that may be put to practi-
cal value
Then on next Friday and Saturday,
Dec. and Q, Farmers Institute
will be held in this city under the aus
pices of the State Agricultural Col
lege. In former years these insti-
tutes have resulted in great benefit to
the farmers, and this one bids fair to
be the best yet held, as the speakers
are amongst the best known agricul-
turists and epartrental experts of the
state an dnation, as the following pro-
