besides a local market amounting to

The phenomenal returns have started

nearly 200 acres to peaches. F. G.

come in next year, plans to organize
a holding company, which Will plant
the trees after buying the land on
time. The first crop, 1t is believed,
will pay all expenses of planting and
the second will more than pay for
the land. The orchard in full bear
ing would have a gross income OF
over 100000 per year.
The support of local capitalists who
have watched the peach crop for the
last two years will be enlisted In the

TAFT SETTLES
THANKSGIVING DAY
Banks Want It on 23d, The
atrical Men on 30th.
Five THURSDAYS

New York, n. Y, Aug IA ques-
ton that has been agitatiDg for some
time both the local and travelling the
atrica1 managers throughout the coun-
try Is said to have been settled to
their satisfaction by president Taft
deciding on Nov. 80 as Thanksgiving
day.
All theatrical managers have fig
ured on this date, the last Thursday OF
November, being Thanksgiving day,
and have signed their contracts, cut
their terms for the holiday, and or
dered their printing accordingly. But
the trouble came in the fact that the
holiday this year normally falls on the
fifth Thursday and the last day of
the month, which makes 1t bad for the
bankers, as the last three days of the
month are the busiest of the national
banks, which are compelled by law
to render their statements on the first
Of each month to the treasury depart
ment. And 1t being optional with the
president to fix the holiday for the
fourth Thursday of November If he so
elects, and that being the Thursday
on which the holiday has hithertQ been
held. 1t would seem but normal that
the president would grant the bankers
request, made some time ago, and
change the date to the 23d.
All the important booking agencies
in New York City are booking the
holiday as November 80, and have
nearly all contracted for their Thanks
giving attractions for that date. AS
the Thanksgiving holiday Is the most
profitable national holiday In the year.
the importance of a final settlement Of
the question was obvious.

HEAVY SHIPMENTS

Cotton Crop in Lower Pecos
Valley Is Large and
Promises Well

Carlsbad, N. NJ, Aug 1.-THE warm
weather Of the past few days has
caused little cessa ton in the gather
ing and mark citing of the peach crop
in this section Of the valley thfs
season. About so car loads of choice
liberia peaches have been shipped
from this point already and while
this particular variety is running low
1t is being closely followed with
other varieties in rapid succession.
The majority Of these peaches are
shipped from the large orchards
owned by MeLenathen and Tracy.
These growers have successfully dem
onstrated the value of thorough Gull
tivation and irrigation. Last winter
they introduced smudge pots into
this section Of the valley and their
value has been practically demon
strated. Their use will be general
next season.
The alfalfa seed crop is now being
abundant yield. Threshers are busy
in every section Of the valley and
from this crop alone many thousands
of dollars will be realized by the
sxmers.
rhe thousands Of acres of cotton
which were planted In the lower Pecos
valley this spring are now in fun
bloom and hold out flattering prom
Uses to the planter. With the present
favorable conditions continuing
throughout the season another one
of the chief assets of this section
will demand its customary prominent
place in the markets of the world

They say they are preparing for
strict. investigation of these houses,
both on the north and south sides of
the tracks, in an effort TO prevent
violations of the law. Criminal prose-
cutfon will follow wherever sufficient
evidence can be obtained, the county
attorney says, and as soon as the chief
of detectives obtains sufficient proof
against a number of questionable re-
sorts, complaints will be filed against
the proprietors in the county court
The arrest of the two young Mex

the necessity of keeping a close watch

BIC LAGUNA RANCH

Vegetable Gardens of Chi
nese at Torreon Are Re
peatedly Looted

Torreon, Mexico, Aug. 17.-An i'm
por.ant transaction was made public
this week whereby Julio Lujan
rented the Sacramento hacienda, in
GLIDING it's immense cotton. planta-
lions, to Jose Cueto, for 500, 900 per
year. Mr.. Lujan is closing up his
offices in Torreon. Mr. Cueto was
formerly partner in the ownership
of the venecia ranch in Sacramento.
The Venecia and annexes was this
week rented to J. F. Birmingham Of
Gomez Palacio by its owner. Cristo-
bal Martinez. The considera ton Is
not made public.
Chinese Gardens Looted.
The abuses against the Chinese
did not end with the bloody mas
sacre of May Is but continue in
less horrifying degree but in
greatly annoying fashion. Repeated
raids are made on the local Chinese
gardens by people of the lower
classes who take with them carts
which they fill at their pleasure
with the choicest vegetables grown
In the gardens.
If the Chinaman on guard shows
any curiosity in the matter he finds
himself looking down the barrel of
pistol or some other weapon. For
this reason many Chinese have re-
fused to work and the gardens are
being rapidly depleted of those vege-
tables which were planted earlier.
This will doubtless produce d vege-
table famine and the Chinese stalls,
which have been the pride of the
local market will have little to
