A little nine pound girl arrived at Jess
Hubbard's last week to make things
more lively for this neighborhood in the
near future. The girls have kept close
guard over the little one lest the coyotes
catch it while they are not looking.
Miss Gresham had quite unique ex-
perience on her arrival last week for an
extended visit to her sister, Mrs. Henry
Lyon. Mr. Lyon went 70 meet her in
a buggy which came with the first set
tiers to the valley and was not in ths
prime of condition, and when about five
miles from home the trap let one of it's
hind wheels stop to rest, and this COM

a drink of cool water while they hitched

said that the walk in the hot sun caused
her to enjoy the cool night that followed
as she never enjoyed anything before.

Although the Commissioner of
the genearl Land Office may avail
himself of the aid of contestant
in determining the validity or in
validity of a lieu land selection,
his refusal to accept such aid is
not the denial of a legal right,
and his exercise of discretion in
such matters will not be control
led by the Department unless it
is clearly apparent that it has
been abused. Applications to
contest therefore denied and de-
cision of the Commissioner af-

$ In a trip through the country
; to the northwest of Estancia
J Monday, we saw some wonderful
crops, Wonderful for severa
reasons. Only a few short years
ago, it was said and many be-
lieved it, that nothing Of any
note could be grown in the Els.
tancia Valley. For years the
valley was one great sheep pas.
ture, and most of those who had
opportunity to pass through the
valley thought that was all it was
fit for. 1t has not been a half
dozen years since one of the
sheep men made an offer of one
dollar per ear for all the corn
which matured in the Estancia
Valley. Needless to say he with
, drew the offer before the harvest
time came.
The crops are wonderful, first
in the acreage now maturing.
Immense fields Of corn, beans,
potatoes, sorghum, maize, and
practically every crop known to
the temperate zone, are seen in
their full green splendor. Gar
dens and truck patches are SIM
ply immense. Another wonder
full thing about the crops is the
size of the individual plants. On
several Of the farms we visited,
we found corn which rivals that.
of the Ohio river bottoms of our
boyhood days. Our readers may
laugh at the idea of getting lost
in an Estancia corn field, but we
are willing to risk the statement
that we can take them to fields
where they will have trouble in
finding their way out. We found
many acres of corn nine and ten
feet high. A great de,.l Of the |
corn is already in the milk, Some
is too hard for roasting ears. |
Several fields of oats we saw are
immense beyond description. Thp
field of j. M Milbourn on the old |
McGillivray place is an example.
Here the oats was up to our
shoulders. 1t is heading out, but
not nearly all headed, the heads
being only partially out of the
boots. We brought back a sam
Pile of this oats to back up our
statements. 1t measures five feet
andone inch in height. Some of
the stalks are as thich as a lead
pencil. w. H. Ligon and Andrew
Eblen each have fields almost if
not equally as good. Mr.. Mil
oourn's wheat averaged about
eighteen bushels per acre, which

ner's, c. L. Riley's. L. G. Grow
er's and Rev. .Windsor's.
/ There are some who fear the
warm days are hurting the crops.
After SO much rain during July,
this could easily be true. But a
close examination seems to veri-
ify the statement of Mr.. Milbourn
Il guess we're more scared than
hurt, so far" The warm wealth
er with the dry nights naturally
has its effect on the crops. But
where the preparation of the soil
was careful and thorough and the
cultivation continuous preceding
the rains and since, we found
little complaint. Our fsrmers are
learning every day that a. crop
will not make itself. Cultivation
and perspiration are as necessary
or more so than irrigation, espe-
cially this season.
One thing we must not over
look is the orchard of G. L. Riley.
He has a number of apple trees
four years old on a north hillside
slope. These or at least most of
them have had no irrigation what
ever. The soil has been kept
stirred and open for the penetra-
s'.sl of the air and moisture, when
t isture fell. The trees have
bcen carefully pruned, and as a
result Mr., Riley has as fine a
young orchard as any one could
wish. AS evidence that the trees
have not been irrigated, they are
growing on ground much higher
tnan the windmill and tank.
The acreage in beans and the
condition of the crop is more than
all through the whole
of our trip. Thousands of pounds
of beans will mature if there is
no more rain this fall. But such
a condition is hardly to be thought
Of. With rain during August,
the bean crop will be a record
breaker and no mistake.

After all the statehood prom
ises and talk, it is we'll to remem-
ber just which members of the
senate proved themselves friends
of the territories when the cri-

statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona: Bradley Of Kentucky,
O'Gorman of New York, Bailey
of Texas, Bristow of Kansas,
Kenyon of Iowa, Brandegee, of

Washington, d. G., Aug. 10
Stand-pat Republican lenders
of the Senate and House
flocked to the White House
today to inform President
Taft they would fight to the
last ditch before they allowed
either the Senate or House to
pass any measure over the
presidential veto.
"We do not propose to let
any attempt ut making laws
over the head Of the President
go through without fight"
said Republican Whip John
Dwight. Senator Murray
Crane of Mass ichusetts backed
up this Statement.
Washington. Au5. 8. The sen
ate today passed the Flood Reso-
luton by a vote of So to Is, after
having defeated the Nelson Sub
stitute by vote Of 43 to 26. The
resolution passed the Senate just
as it was reported from the com
mittee, and practically the same
as adopted by the House on May |
23 by a vote of 142 to so. The
only change in the resolution
since having been adopted by the
House is in the wording regard
ing the matter Of the ballots for
the special vote on the amend
ment clause.
The Flood Resolution provides
that New Mexico be admitted to
statehood with the constitution
as adopted by the people on jan
uary 81, with the provision that
at the same election at which
state and county officers are elect
ed, the voters shall decide wheth- |
er they desire the clause relating
to the amendment of the consti-
tuition as drafted by the constitu-
tional convention or whether they
desire to substitute in lieu there
of a paragraph making the con
stitution more easily amended.
The vote on this proposition, how
ever, can in no wise alter the
matter of statehood, itself.
In the case of Arizoa, the
Flood Resolution provides that
its voters shall vote again on the
question as to whether or not the
recall as written in the Arizona
constitution shal! extend to the
judiciary. The result OF this
vote will likewise not affect the ]

President Taft. While it has
been reported that he has made

President Taft today announ
ced his intention of vetoing
the Flood Resolution as soon
as the same is presented to
him. Speaker Clark Of the
House has said that if this is
done, 5he house will at once

the senate would do likewise. |
