WHERE ONCE WAS DESERT
NOW BLOSSOMS THE ROSE
Writer in e Paso Herald Describes
AIamogordo
Potent Charm in TwiIights Glow and the
Roses Fragrance

Alamogordo-A homesick east
erner or any exile who sighs for
sight of green trees and gar
dens and wearies of the noun
t2ics and the yellow etretch Of
desert sand, ought to make a
pilgrimage to Alamogordo.
1t is best to arrive in the soft
twilight Of a Sunday evening.
After freshening oneself in the
quiet little room. papered in soft
gray green, looking out into the
tree bordered square, and after
a deftly served and dainty sup
per at a rose-decked table, go
out into the fragrant evening
and through the quiet streets
with groups of Sunday folk
abroad, until you pass a church,
from whose friendly door comes
the evening hymn-"Day is Dy-
ing in the West. The
night sets her evening lamps
alight through the sky"
Then if the hour and the mood
have claimed their own, go in
for psalm, quiet prayer, and
a word of still mountains and
green pastures where the sbep-
herds fold their sheep. Another
hymn, and when you come out
into the starlit dark the moon
shows low through the tree
branches, and the air is full of
scents you cannot name; honey.
suckle is there, that grows in
the west. The chinaberry tree
you know, too, and the breath
of alfalfa comes now and then.
But these are only a few of the
hundred breaths that fill the
soft night with a sweetness like
audible music.
Wait till morning, and in the
clear daylight the mystery is
explained. But the wonder
grows. Roses and roses and
roses. So many that people do
not even cut them: American
Beauties, in sheafs and mounds !:
La France, brides roses; white
climbers cover the porches; pink

roses run to the porch roofs even

tiny yard, and adds its individual
and unforgetable fragrance.
Nor are tne ruses alone. The
dear familiar things of old fash
ioned gardens add their sur
prises. Snowballs, deutzia, a
long row of Glove pinks, the spic-
lest thing that grows. A month
ago you would have found lilacs,
they say. And all through the
streets as you walk and wander
you hear the pleasant sounds of
waters running. For the bitches
are full and Alamogordo has wa
ter in plenty for her trees, her
fields, and her flowers. You re-
member the burning moons of
the day when Alamogordo was a
saw mill, two or three shops, a
real estate office and a box of a
railway station alone In the des-
ert; and you get one glimpse of
what is ahead for this desert
when through its miles the wa
ter comes.
And there. on the further side
of the town, where you have
strayed as the new evening
comes, you see on a garden fence
what is surely the sunset itself,
a cloud of gold piled high and
changing and burning with the
changing light. But the sunset
stays and is green-encircled, and
the little maid to whom you pre-
sent your question says, why,
that is the Gold of Ophir rose
bush" Where, outside of a
fairy tale, or a florists garden
catalog, did one dream such ex-
quisite evanescent life-enhanc-
ing beauty could grow out of
just plain earth?
Perhaps in a country where it
is the every day task of men to
work miracles it is easier than
ever for the children to see the
shine of the fairy gold.-El Paso

GRAZING REGULATIONS
UPHELD BY THE Court
Use Of National Forests Without
Permit Brought to an End
ST0CKMEN REALIZE
BENEFIT DERIVED

Washington, May 22.-The de-
cisions handed down by the Su-
preme Court, on May /, concern
ing the right of the Government
to control grazing on the Nation
al Forests are of great interest
10 " es,ern people, aud especial
ly to the Western stockman.
The right of the Government to
control its own lands within the
various States and Territories is
so clearly defined that it is re-
garded by Secretary Wilson as
establishing absolutely the posi-
tion these lands occupy under
the law. Il am very sure" said
Secretary Wilson today, that
the stockmen of the West; as
we'll as the western people gene
rally, will accept this decision of
the Supreme Court at its full
worth, and that the controversy
which has heretofore existed re-
garding the right to use the
grazing lands within the various
National Forest without permit
from the Department of Agricul-
ture will be brought to an end.
The two cases decided were
the sO-called Light case, which
originated in Colorado, and the
case of the United States against
Grimaud, Carajous, and linda,
three California stockmen. In
the Light case one of the princi-
pal issues joined was on the
question whether the fence laws
of the States must be complied
with in order that the United
States might sustain action for
trespass on the National Forests.
The California case concerned
the question whether violation
of the National Forest regula-
tions is punishable as a crime.
Light is a Colorado stockman
who, in 1906, turned his cattle
loose on public land adjacent to
the Holy Cross National Forest
in such way that they would
naturally drift upon National
Forest lands. Mr.. Light refused
to take any steps to prevent this
and also refused to take out a
grazing permit. 1t was main
tained by Lights lawyers that,
inasmuch as the laws of Colora-
do do not allow a private person
any remedy against owners of
stock which stray upon his land
unless the land is fenced, the
Government is without redress.
An injunction was secured
from the District Court requir-
ing Mr.. Light so to handle his
stock rs to prevent them from
trespassing upon the National
Forest. Mr.. Light, however, re-
fused to do this and. with the
backing of other stockmen Of his
State and, eventually, of the
State of Colorado itself, which
made a special appropriation for
the purpose, carried the case up
to the Supreme Court for final
decision.
In the effort to establish the
contention that the Government
was wrong, not only the validity
Of the grazing regulations but
the constitutionality of the en-
tire National Forest policy was
challenged on every ground
which the counsel representing
the stock interests and the
States were able TO raise. The
fact that their contentious were,
one after the other. eat as;ds Nv

Where One Really Lives

A former easterner, in writing
to q friend back home. said:
Because Of the high altitude
we do not have the excessive
simmer heat usually, in the
minds Of most, associated with
New Mexico. The days are not
oppressive and the nights are
cool. | have been holding down
a claim here for four years and
expect to be here many years
yet. Some Of those people who
feel oppressed BY the high cost
OF living or whose health is not
up TO the standard, should come
out west take up a claim and
learn what it is like TO really
live. ."-Denling Graphic.

ON GREAT INVENTION

ANGUS CAMPBELL AND
HIS COTTON PICKER

In the department called
About People," in the June
Woman's Home Companion is
the following paragraph about
Angus Campbell, the man who
invented the machine that picks
cotton: A farmer, when lie saw
the machine the first time, said
very wisely: "IC will put the
children to school,"
twenty-five years ago a Chi
cago pattern. maker went on a
pleasure trip to Texas, where he
saw hundreds of men, women
and children laboriously picking
cotton and dragging their slowly
filling sacks behind them as they
toiled through the hot fields. Like
Others before him, he wondered
if machine might not be devils
ed to do this work better, and to
accomplish in the South a marvel
paralleling that which the great
grain-harvesters have worked in
the wheat-felds of the West.
Others had tried and failed, as
he also might have failed had, he
not been of the persevering
Scotch strain guaranteed by his
name, Angus Campbell. Com
paratively, the grain-harvester
presented simple problem, for
grain ripens uniformly and the
entire field may be cut at once.
But the cotton -bolls mature at
different times. A cotton. har-
vester, therefore, must be a
machine that thlnks-a machine
with sufficient discrimination to
pick out all the lint from the
ripened bolls, yet to pass over
those not yet matured. leaving
the delicate plant unharmed.
Mr.. Campbell wrestled with the
problem nearly twenty years and
suffered many discouragements
and failures before he at last
devised a wonderful contrivance
with countless delicate fingers
that will really pick cotton. 1t

invention may mean to the

will cut down the cost of har-
vesting cotton two thirds is u
estimate. And, as a
farmers wife thankfully observ-
ed, You don't have to cook for
it, Indirectly it will enormous
ly increase the natural produc-
tion of the chief export staple,
and will save the Southern
farmer tens of millions of dollars
each year. Moreover. where

Oregon Shows Some
Splendid Corn at the
Omaha Land Show

A wonderful exhibit of corn has just
been received by express at the VILLA
mette valley exhibit from one Of the
counties in the southern end of the VILLA
mette valley. The stalks measure fifteen
feet in height, bearing magnificent ears
Of corn. The question as to whether corn
will grow in Oregon seems to be conclu-
sively answered. Nebraska farmers gem
orally have the impression that corn
anything approaching the product grown
in Missouri valley, cannot be grown IN
oregon because 1t does not harden ana
there are no hot nights.
While the acreage is not great, corn is
being grown in considerable quantities
along the river bottoms In Lane, Linn and
Benton counties, in the central portion OF
the valley. Fields of twenty to thirty
acres are seen more frequently than
formerly. The corn does best when accli-
mated seed is used-Red Butcher OF
White Dent. 1t is no longer regarded as
an experiment, but is a profitable crop
AS high as seventy-five bushels to the
acre are being raised.
Corn is grown for putting the finishing
touches to fattening hogs. 1t Is an es
pecially profitable crop when grown be
tween the rows of English walnut trees

HUGE DRAINAGE MACHINE
SHOWN AT THE LAND SHOW

Frederic &. Bager, representing the f.

Of Chicago, has a unique and interesting
exhibit at the Land show. An exact re-
production, on a minute scale, OF the
huge drainage excavators which the COM
pany manufactures Is shown with many
photographs of the machine at work.
This machine is a marvellous creation Of
steel, the frame being of structural steel
and the sprocket wheels, gears and pin
ions of cast steel. The machinery is all
mounted on a roller platform traction
so that 1t can be taken from one ditch
to another with little difficulty.
One advantage of the machine is that
1t travels along while at work by its own
power. When equipped with rolling plat
form traction it runs direct on the sur
face, and when on wheels the wheels
travel on a special track which is picked
up from behind by the machine and laid
down as wanted. The bitches It digs are
