TRACE OF SPENCER

Deputy Sheriff Tom Clifford came

a week searching the surrounding
country for Geo. Spencer, the old
rancher who disappeared so myster-

whatever was found of the missing
man. There is still considerable
snow in that section and it is pos

HEAVY RAINS.

Heavy rains have caused the rivers
of San Juan county to overflow their
banks the past week. On La Plata
valley the damage to culverts and ir-
rigating bitches has been heavy, while
bitches on the San Juan valley and
also the Animas valley have suffer-
ed. At one time the San Juan river
was higher than the top of the gov
ernment water gauge. The rainfall
has made the range grass grow lux
uriantly, and cattlemen say the feed
in the hills of this county has not been
SO good in many years as this year.
Alfalfa hay is somewhat spoiled for
the first cutting by rain, but other
crops will more than make up for this
loss. Apples and pears are grow
ing large, and the prospect is for
about half crop of each, of extra fine
quality. Raspberries and blackberries
are now being marketed. the crop be-
ing large.-AZtec Index.

up la some kind of style-the latest,

"The groom wore the conventional
black, with his hair done up la Pad

by nature we are unable to deter
