REPORTS OF WHOLESALE SUF-
FERlNG IN ESTANCIA VALLEY
. INCORRECT

In spite of reverses which would
have discouraged less courageous
people, the residents of the Estancia
valley are preparing to plant crops
this year on an even more extensive
scale than last season. This is the
statement of Don Eugenio Romero,
who has just returned from Estan-
cia.
Mr.. Romero says there was so
much talk of hard times in Estancia
that the county officials made up
their minds to conduct an investiga-
tion. They asked the school directors
in each district to report to them
every family they discovered to be
in Strengthened circumstances. The
directors made careful examination
and found but three families in want.
They were given relief by public and
private subscription.
"People like those in the Estan-
cia valley will never give up said
Mr.. Romero, this morning. "In spite
of the drouth of last season they are
in fairly good condition. They have
the spirit that means success and 1t
will not be long before they are sup
plying field products to a good por-
ton of New Mexico"

SUSPECTS BROUGHT BACK

James Grimes and George Miller,
both ex-convicts from the New Mex
leo penitentiary, passed through Las
Vegas last evening IN charge of Of
ficer Ben Williams on their way to
Albuquerque. Grimes and Miller, with
Dennis Hart, who has been in the
Bernalillo county Jail for some weeks
are charged with the robbery of the
John Becker Mercantile company
store at Belen, when several safes
were blown open and property and
cash to the amount of s1,5OO was
taken. The men were captured at Og.
den, Utah, on descriptions furnished
by the Santa Fe officers. They con-
sented to return here without the for
mality of extradition papers, although
their willingness to leave Utah was
not altogether unselfish, as they were
strongly suspected of pulling off a re.
cent safe blowing in ogden, and the
officers there hesitated to allow such
a likely pair out of their keeping.

Mr. Johnson said that the cost of
production had increased eleven cents

asked that the tariff commission in

business and literally camp on the
