Postmaster General Hitchcock
last night signed a warrant re-
turning to the secretary of the
treasury So 100000, the last of
the amount set apart from the
public funds to assist in defray-
ing the expenses of the postal
service for the present year.
Reforms in the financial sys-
tenn, it is stated, have made the
refund possible.
An accounting plan, which was
adopted about a year ago, in
sures the prompt deposit in the
treasury of postal funds not re-
quired for disbursement at post
offices, thus making available for
use by the postoffice department
of several millions of dollars that,
under the former practice, would
be tied up in pcstoffices. Under
the old system it required ap-
proximately $10,000,0OO to fl
nance the postofice department.
In making the refund Mr.. Hitch
cock said he was satisfied the
postal revenues would be more
than sufficient to defray the pos
tai expenses during the rest of
the fiscal year and that July /
would show a surplus of more
than 81, 900, 900.

SHOWERS
In I'LL
PORTIONS

For the past few days local
| showers have been the order Of
the day, Yesterday was the frst
day that these have visited the
immediate vicinity of Estancia,
but other sections of the Estan-
cia Valley have received the be-
nefit of the rains. With a few
more days of these local shower,
the whole valley will have re-
ceived moisture, which is more
than welcome in all portions.
While in most sections Of the val
ley, the crops have not been suf-
fering as much as the spirits of
the farmers, both crops and
farmers will derive benefit.
The mistake which the farmers
want to avoid now, is in allowing
the crops to suffer for want of
Gu ltivation. No land, however
productive, will produce a good
crop without it's full share of
cultivation. In other words If
rigation, while essential, is not
all. Cultivation and perspiration
must go hand in hand with irri-
cation, or the whole thing will be
a fizzle. One of our farmers.

FAV0R OF
REGULARS

The ball game on Tuesday be
tween the business men of Els
tancia and Stubs Regulars, was
hugely enjoyed by both the play
ers and a large crowd of rooters.
who witnessed the encounter.
Some sensational plays were
made, among them Hibler's S
batting, VanStone's taking in
of a fly, Kennedys pitching,
Postmaster Meyers sliding for
third and Allmon's fielding. At
the end of the ninth inning the
score stood II to A against the
businessmen. This is not intend
ed to be taken that the business
men cannot play ball. For dur
ing the last half of the ninth,
they allowed the regulars to
make four runs, just to show
that the businessmen are good
fellows, and to keep the regulars
from getting sore and going off
the field in disgust. The bust
nessmen want another game ere
long, and of course it wouldn't
do to beat the regulars the first
game or they wouldn't play
another. The fans enjoyed the
game and hope the regulars will
challenge the businessmen in |
the near future.

AFTER THE SMOKER

Washington. Dec. s.-Aimed at the
domination of the so-called tobacco
trust" a bill directing the census
bureau to publish statistics every six
months as to the amount Of tobacco
held by dealers and manufacturers Of
the country was debated in the house
for hours today and will be voted upon
tomorrow.
The bill was introduced last summer
by Representative Cantrcll Of Ken
lucky. who explained that it was de-
signed for the tobacco growers who
claim that the governments statistics
give manufacturers unfair advantage
when the crop is marketed. He said
the tobacco trust knew all the secrets
Of the crop while the farmer had no
way to ascertain the amount of tobac-
co stock on hand in warehouses;
Republican Leader Mann and form
er Speaker Cannon vigorously opposed
the bill. Mr.. Cannon declared that il
any such bill were passed it should
include all crops held by dealers and
in warehouses. The punishment of
manufacturers who withhold statistics
also was attacked as unconstitutional.

for high tariff on wool, according to
Gooding.
