All Must Stand Trial

The saloon keepers of Tyndall
are all making arrangements for
their expected trip to Sioux Falls
next week, where they will be COM
PEELED to stand trial in the federal
court on the charge of selling in
toxicating liquor to Indians. Last
May a government detective, with
a quarter blood Indian who had
neither the complexion nor the
features of his race, came to Tyn-
dali, and using the Indian as a de-
coy, succeeded in buying liquor at
each saloon in this city. The pro-
prietors were all arrested and taken
before the federal court at Sioux
Falls, but at the fall term of that
court the Tyndall men succeeded
in having their several cases post
poned till the April term.

Struck Oil

In prospecting for oil, a com
pany eighteen miles southwest of
Belle Fourche, struck flow of
from one to three barrels per day,
which was pure lubricating oil,
and could be used for all ordinary
purposes of fabrication without re-
fining, it finding a ready market at
$40 per barrel. The supply seems
to be ample, and the prospectors
are now making arrangements for
a deep we'll, where they are conf
dent they will strike a lighter oil,
but in larger quantities, and per-
haps gas.

Site For Well

At the regular meeting of the
city dads Monday evening, it was
decided to sink the we'll for the
water works supply on the trian-
gular lot south of the Gus Stoer
mer livery barn. The lot is the
property of the Townsite company
but we understand has been donat-
ed to the city. The we'll will be
twenty feet in diameter and about
thirty-6ve feet deep which is deem
ed amply sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of the system. Work
on the well has already commenced
and a few more days will witness
the flying of dirt on the trenches
for the water mains. The cement
abutments for the tower are COM
pleted and the steel girders and
other material for the tank lave ar
rived and are being unloaded and
hauled up to the site for the tower.
Philip will present a busy scene
when everything is running full
blast.

Our High School Ball Team

This is the first year that the
school boys of Philip have pre-
tended to have a base ball team,
but they are taking advantage of
every spare moment to get in
shape for the season, and present
indications are that it will take a
pretty good bunch to defeat them.
The first game of the season has
been arranged with the Wall High
School for Saturday, April 10Th,
and will be played at the local fair
grounds. Our high school boys are
deserving of support and assistance
from the people of Philip and we
hope that good crowd will be
present at their opening game to
encourage them to victory.

Accidental Shooting

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. f.
Il. Tobin, living on a farm ten
miles southwest of Leola, McPher-
son county, was the scene of a
tragedy, of which the little daugh-
ter of the couple, aged two and
one half years, was the victim.
The little girl secured possession
of a rifle which had been left stand
ing in the corner. and was drag
ging it around the room when her
mother, who was engaged in writ
ing in the room, took the weapon
from the child and placed it in her
lap. When Mrs. Tobin had re.
sumed hold of the muzzle of the
gun.in the attempt to take it from
the child, the hammer of the gun
evidently caught in the fold of the
mothers skirt, for the weapon was
discharged, the bullet striking the
child in the neck and killing her
almost instantly. Mr.. and Mrs.
Tobin were former residents oi
Fremont, Nebr., and the remains
of the unfortunate little girl were
sent there for interment.

Market Report

Sioux City, Ia, April 4, 1911.
A stronger and higher market is
governing in fat and killing cattle
owing to a reduction in receipts.
Beef steers are strong while about
a dime has been added to the best
of fat cows and heifers from late
last week. On this basis there is
an active demand both from local
packers and those purchasing on
orders. Beeves are quotable at
$5:4O "a $3.50; butcher stock S.. 25
% S.. so; Gamers and cutters $2.75
"a $40; bulls and stays $4.OO "a
S.. 25 and veal calves $3.50 a 1925.
Under very light run coupled
with the fact that dealers were able
to sell down closely on last week
the upturn has been more pointed
in stockers and feeders than in kill
lers. Prices are generally 10 %
15c higher for the week with the
larger share of the recent decline
regained. The inquiry from pro-
spective buyers is stronger than
this time last week. Quotations:
Feeders $500 q $5.65; calves
and yearlings A.25 q $5.35; and
feeding cows and heifers 1915 a
$4.65.
The undertone to fat sheep and
lambs has been decidedly bearish
especially on lambs due to increas-
ed marketing. Lambs are quota
BILE at $3.50 q 1910; yearlings
and wethers $40 a $5.25 and
ewes $40 % 4.9O.
Hogs = big dime lower, range
$6.05 @ $3.50; the bulk at Is. 12l
! @ 1915.

Western Star: Monday evening
bad runaway occurred in the
east part of town. One of Calhoon's
teams was discing Rev. Schroder's
garden when small incOnsiderate,
tisty dog, ran under the heels of
one of the horses, barking furious
ly. The horse made lunge and
then away went the outfit. The
driver was thrown off the seat and
the tongue came down. In their
mad race the team passed the cor
ner of Taggard's house which was
struck by the disc and somewhat
damaged. The tongue, now broken,
stuck into the ground and the disc
was turned over striking the hind
legs of the tagging horse and in,
juring him so badly that there is
not much hope for his future use

She was burned so severely that
she died in few hours.

she will raise the money, as a

Her course is highly commendable,
and it is to be hoped the generous

cause to congratulate themselves
in the future upon their good work.

OF LASTING BENEFIT

Delegate Andrews works over
time to bring good things to his
people. and he hes a habit Of bring
ing about results.
His latest measure is bill to
promote the reclamation of arid
lands, which will permit the organ
ization Of irrigation districts and
the establishment of any system of
irrigation voted by majority OF
the residents and land interests OF
the district, and that prtented or
unpatented. entered or unentered
lands shall bear their just proper
ton of such public improvement. II
means. in effect, that a majority OF
the residents of any district ma,
vote to tax all lands embraced II
such district and that tight-waC
or two cannot hold up improve
ments that might develop a larg'
tract.
The bill is drawn with great car
and has the approval of the liant
commissioner at Washington. Fav
orable action on this bill would b
of inestimable value to the Mimbre
Valley.

than v. Pres. W. B. Story, General
Manager Fox, General Supt. Kurn,
Chief Engineer Felt. E. j. Engel, as
sistant to the president and Division
Supt. Summers.
The party arrives at four o'clock
in their special train and were met
at the station by a party Of Deming
boosters, who took them out in the
Laughren and Burdick cars to feast
their eyes on a half dozen of our
big irrigation pumping plants and
fields Of beautiful green, and it is
absolutely no secret that they feast
ed and became mentally fat on
Mimbres Valley facts. Fox and Kurr
have been Deming's friends for 9
long time and now the other distin'
guished gentlemen are full-hedged
members Of the booster band. They
had all heard of the wonderful sue
cess of irrigation pumping in thi'
region, but in order to get real en-
thusiastic one has to see water com
ing out of the big pumps and th'
mammoth fields in cultivation
Once this inspiring sight greet
their eyes they are boosters as loni
as they live.
The editor insited on each of tn
party taking copious draughts o
so. so in order to give them all tn
inspiration possible. 1t wouldn't b
at all surprising to see a bunch o
Santa Fe magnates owning a mic
piece Of Mimbres Valley realty, an

WATER ENOUGH FOR
DOUBLE OUR AREA
Facts that Every Deming
Man Should be Able to
Impart
EASY TO REMEMBER
Water Supply can Never Fail
as Long as Mountain
Ranges Last.

1t Is a very natural thing and en-
inently proper for strangers coming
to the Deming country to ask all
sorts of questions about our water
supply.
No person. great or small, ever
comes here without pronouncing
the water in this valley the best and
purest they ever saw. They surely
couldn't be honest with themselves
and say anything else. 1t needn't
take five minutes to convince any
reasonable or unreasonable person
that the earth contains no purer
product. 1t should not be very diff
fcult, either. for any resident to
easily tell why the water underlying
all this valley is pure, but when Il
comes TO giving an easy and intelli-
gent reason why the supply of wa
ter can never be exhausted. the av'
erage person does not as a rule
take the time to thoroughly inform
himself.
In the first place we have an ares
of practically $50 square miles II
the irrigable portion Of the valley
so perfectly level as to have watel
easily applied, that is so that on
well will conveniently water a quar-
ter section. Scattered over thi
broad area are better than IL
pumping plants of various sizes. VI
to 1000 gallons per minute, the mo
tive power being gasoline, crude oi
and electricity, there being in US
or in process Of construction at thi
time nearly Is miles of transmissio
, wires. This only goes to show tina
water exists in every portion of tn
r area named. Now comes the rel
reason why it exists in unfailin
5 quantities.
The drainage area from the NORTH
, east, north and northwest is abou
A fourteen hundred square mile
a where the annual rainfall is neve
: less than twenty inches in all tf
mountain districts. This drainai
v does not include the Cooks Moul
: tain area nor an area almost equ
s in extent of the mountain rang
/. south of us which contribute mate

e er valley.
!. For the last two centuries,
s least, water conditions in ahese toy

tect and make the Mimbres Vail

REALTY ON THE RISE

Ten years ago farmer out IN
central Kansas wished to retire
from active life. He sold his 24O-
acre farm to his just married son
for 5000, mostly on time.
what shame for the old man
to take advantage Of the boy" said
the neighbors. ITS more than the
lands worth"
Two years later the son sold the
farm for $7l00. The new owner in
a year sold for $4,000. The farm
then sold for $500. The farm has
changed hands six times since then,
always at climbing figures and its
last sale was for s26,50O-this, too,
without any material improvements
having been made.
IL is an extreme instance, but the
reports just made show these in
creases in the decade in the value
of Western farms, Missouri, l07 per
cent; Iowa, 1873 per cent; Kansas,
1888 per cent: South Dakota, 376 per
cent: Montana, 394 per cent.
Some students Of conditions de-
clare that these increases are toe
large for safety, that 1t is unreason'
able for land out in the prairie
states to change hands at SIS tc
500 per acre. They caution
against collapse and warn invest
ors against securities based on such
appraisals. The fact remains, how
ever, that shrewd hardheaded farm
ers who know the worth Of land arr
buying Western farms at such fig
ures. For a decade, critics hav,
warned that land Is too high ant
