With twenty-five first prem
iums apd five seconds to the
credit of the farmers Of the vicin
ity of Estancia, as a result of the
display Of farm and garden pro-
ducts at the First State Fair, it
appears that the Estancia Valley
is not so slow as a farming COM
munity. And when the fact is
taken into consideration that our
products had to compete with ir-
rigated products from other por-
tions of the state, and that none
of our stuff that drew down
prizes was irrigated, except the
cabbage, the victory is the more
appreciated. 1t has been con
tended for some time that corn
could not be grown IN the Estan-
cia Valley, but with six prem
iums on corn, not counting the
pop corn, which also drew first,
in competition with the whole
state, it appears that the bottom
has been knocked out of this con
tention, and the farmers have
swung the club which did the
knocking.
The display showed only forty
five entries, and with a premium
on two out Of three of the en-
tries, our display came near be
ing a prize display from begin
ming to end. A number Of com
ments were passed on the ex-
hibit as a whole as well as on
individual exhibits.

DE,ATtI OF
INFANT At
W|LLhRD

The death angel visited our
town and called from our midst
little Raborn Ruby, aged five
months, who had been a patient
sufferer for the past ten days
from pneumonia. Medical aid
was called in vain. The parents
have been in New Mexico but
short time, having come to our
town about a year ago, but IN
this time have made many
friends who sympathize deeply
with them. The little one had
won the hearts of everyone by its
sweet little face and pleasant
smiles, for altho SO young it had
a smile for everyone.
To the parents, we say that
their loss is Heavens gain, for
there'Il be sweet little hands to
beckon them to the home beyond
And they can think of their lit
tie one as playing around the
Saviour S knee.
The baby was plucked from
amidst others, having two little
sisters and a little brother,
While there will be a vacancy in
the home, it will be sweet to
think Of Raborn as being among
the angelo beyond the reach of
srouble and care of this world.
The funeral was held at the
house at two o'clock, being con-
lucted by Rev. Hurst. of Pro
greso, and the babe was laid to
rest in Willard Cemetery.

Little Case, Big Precedent

In very little case the interstate
commerce commission has rendered a
big decision. A suburban electric rail-
way from Washington to Mount Yer
non has been ordered to reduce certain
fares from IS to 10 cents. Not very
exciting, considering that there are
only nineteen miles OF the entire road.
But the commission ordered the re-
auctions on the sole ground that it
found that the road should be valued
at only $4,000 per mile, while it was
capitalized at and earning returns at
1901, 900 a mile. The commissions
characterized this as obvious overcap-
italization, holding that the company
was entitled to fair return on the act
ual investment and no more and so or
dered reduction of 33 per cent. in
rates.
The precedent is about as big as
could possibly be established. The
overcapitalization sponge never stood
so good chance Of squeeze as since
this decision was rendered. Success

The Plain Truth

When a railroad which probably has
the densest railroad traffic in the coun-
try is able to show a record Of 1872, 49,
826 passengers carried and not single
person killed, it is an achievement of
which they may we'll boast. This note
worth record has been made by the
Long Island road in the past 1872 years.
The density of the traffic on this sub
sidiary Of the Pennsylvania railroad is
revealed in the computation that the
number Of passengers carried one mile
since 1898 is nearly 5000, 000,0
Accidents and deaths on city streets
and country highways have shown an
alarming increase in recent years, but
in the same period modern science and
engineering have very greatly lessened
the loss OF life upon our railroasd.

of publicity by cooperation in the rooms
of the local Commercial Club. Impress
the date on your mind and be sure to
turn out.
This is a subject every citizen OF
Leavenworth should take deep inter
est in. No town ever had the oppor-
tunity that the people Of this town now
have to build city. We have been
favored by nature with natural resources
that only need to be developed TO give
profitable employment to from 1000 to
5000 men. The possibilities for the
investment of capital need only to be
brought to the attention Of men with
money. This can be done by cam
paign of publicity. Mr.. Wilson will
show US how Seattle accomplished so
much in a short time. He will tell us
how we can bring the capital and the
opportunity together.

The New Day In Ireland

The depopulation of Ireland which
has been going on since 1841 appears
at last to have met a decided check.
The British decennial census of this
year shows a population for this island
of 4,381,o51 which is only 1924 un-
dar the figures of ten years ago. This
is much the smallest loss that it has
suffered in any decade from the time,
seventy years ago, when famine swept
away thousands and a great emigration
began which still continues but in
steadily declining volume. Compared
with the loss of 1924 in the past ten
years, Ireland lost, besides its natural
population increase, some 246, 1000 be-
tween 1891 and 1901, 100000 in the
previous decade, 237,540 from 1871
to 1881, $4,000 from 1861 to 1871,
753,821 from 1851 to 1861 and no
less than ,622, 740 from 1912 to 1851
much of this being due to starvation
from the failure of crops. The island
now has a population less by 5000, 900
than it had in 1901, and less by 3,000,-
900 than it had in 1841, when the
high record was established, and the
latter figure just about measures the
volume OF emigration, chiefly to the
United States, since 1853.-Spring-

The creased pig event came off at
the ball ground in the afternoon, but the
pig was so fat it could not get out of the
way. 1t was pinned to the ground in
the first round by Souder and Miller,
two of the ball players. While some
six or seven were after his hogship,
Souder and Miller seemed to have the
advantage. Catching pigs, Souder says,
is right in line with catching balls be-
hind the bat.
The Kid Band enlivened things at
the ball ground by furnishing lots Of
music. In the afternoon and evening
they played at the band stand in the
park and never failed to attract atten-
ton and draw much applause from the
crowd which gathered.
Our Fourth of July crowd was the
largest, best natured and jolliest that
Leavenworth has ever seen. The cele-
bration, though gotten up on such
short notice, proved an entire success.
The committee having the affair in
charge deserve credit for having given
so much of their time to make it a
success.
The horse races were pulled off out
at the Cascade Orchards track and were
witnessed by a large crowd. Some
good horses were entered for prizes,
which were very liberal.
In the bucking contest Dude Brown
took the SIS prize and Pete Carter $40.
There were three entries in the run
ming race, Dude Brown first, F. A..
Reynolds second and J. H. Miller Of

In the saddle horse race Guy Chap
man took first money, Frank Davis
second and Lee Howerton third.
