ers.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures encountered by the Courier
representative in collecting data for
this issue and one which is most typ
ical of the agricultural progress of
the county. was the private water
system recently installed by Mr..
W. 2. Daily on his ranch.
The plant is interesting in more
ways than one. In the first place.
the plan of drilling the well was
rather a new one in the county, but
If the amount of water developed in
the Daily well and one or two others
that he put down by the same plan,
is any criterion, it bids fair to be.
come popular with the ranchers of
this section.
The well is ten inches in diameter
and 752 feet deep. Work was be.
gun on it February Is and it was
finished April Is, just two months
to a day, although the installation
of the distributing system required
a couple of months longer and Mr..
Daily did not begin irrigatng until
about the middle of June.
The unusual feature about it is
the large amount of water that the
well produced in comparison with
other wells similarly situated in that
neighborhoed, and this difference is
accounted for in part by the advan-
tages of the system of drilling used
over the old method.
As near as the writer could get at
the facts, it seems that under the
Layne e. Bowler System of drilling
an accurate account of the various
formations encountered as the drill
goes down is kept, and after the
main body of water is reached in
stead of putting in solid steel cas-
ing, from the measurements of the
various formations which have al
ready been recorded, a casing is
manufactured for that particular
well.
At all points where water bear
ing strata were encountered the
casing is perforated in such way
as to permit the water to enter the
well instead of shutting it off and
thereby losing il as the old style of
casing does to some extent. BY
this means, every particle of water
hearing sand traversed by the well
is drained into same. The idea
seems entirely practicable and feas-
ible. and the fact that no other
wells in that vicinity are producing
more than forty inches of water,
and that the wells of Mr.. Daily and
Mr.. Stiles, both of which were put
down by this system, are producing
$50 inches, or there-abouts. each,
certainly seems a good endorsement
of the efficacy of the system.
Mr.. Daily's distributing system
includes 1000 feet of steel pipe and
1900 feet of canvas hose, which en-
ables him to irrigate his l63 acres
of beans and walnuts conveniently.
An S0-horsepowcr Fairbanks
Morse gasoline engine and a Layne
& Bowler pump is used and the en-
tire system installed at a cost of
about $4,000, the well alone costing
about $4,000. This is a very comfor-
table sum to spend on an irrigating
system, but Mr.. Daily is more than
pleased with his investment.
Thus we have q splendid example
of agricultural and horticultural
progress made possible by enter
prising men who are not satisfied
until their land is developed to its
highest possible capacity for pro-
duction, and who have the courage
to back their judgment with good
hard coin. -Oxnard, CAL, Courier.

Mammoth Products Show In.
exhaustible Richness of
Mimbres Valley Soil
SUPERIOR POULTRY
Perfect Specimens Prove Sal.
ubrious Climate, Sunshine
and Pure Water

Luna county fair has come and
gone and legions of people now
realize, more than ever before, that
asa perfect crop-producing area,
the Mimbres Valley has no superior
in the whole world.
The specimens of everything
grown were perfect in form and
absolutely without superior in prop.
er size and development.
There were pumpkins almost as
big as a barn, In comparison with
ordinary fruits Of the vine, and wa.
termelons that almost had to be
handled with a crane, but the or
binary run of exhibits could not be
bettered on top of the round earth.
This is a very strong statement but
the vast crowds Of people who saw
them are ready and willing to veri-
fy this statement.
If any exhibitor feels that his or
her products or fowls failed to get
the blue ticket, he or she ought to
be consoled with the fact that the
judges, j. M. Crawford, Frank
Barrett and W. j. Evans, did the
very best they could in the short
space of time allowed for making
the awards.
They did not know the name of
a single exhibitor, as everything
was marked by number, they had
no personal interest in the matter
whatever and none of them were
interested in any exhibits of any
character.
The fancy work and art judges
were Mrs. H. H. Hougland, Mrs.
Frank Barrett, Miss Grace Goebel,
Miss Mae Waite rbury, and Mrs. Ben
Larsen
Chairman Miller, of the fair COM
mittee, worked days and days with
out one cent of pay and did the
very best he could to satisfy every.
body.
Assistant Secretary W. M. Groves
did his level best to keep all rec
ords straight, but the rapidity with
which the exhibits came made it a
very hard job. They all did the
best they could and people should
be governed accordingly.

awarded.

DECLARES HE Is AWAITING A REPORT FROM
DISTRICT JUDGE PICHFORD WHO is IN
VESTIGATING THE AFFAIR TODAY.
ALL COMMUNICATION IS NOW CUT OFF
Women and Children Ordered to Places of Safety and
Local Authorities Are Unable to Con-
troll the Situation.

At daybreak today it is believed that the two warning
factions in the county seat fight at JAY Delaware county,
will break the temporary truce and begin battle that
can only be ended by the death of many and the sending
of several companies Of state militia to the little town in
the heart Of the Spavinaw hills and declaring martial law
Governor Lee Crce who alone has the power to order
out the state militia evidently does not realize the
ousress Of the situation and at 10 o'clock last night
stated to TIE World the long distance telephone
from Oklahoma City that he would not order out the
militia until he had report from District Judge John H.
Pclford of Stillwe who he has requested to make an
investigation He had not received that report last night
although a special from Grove to The World declared
that Judge Pcord had wired the governor to order out
the militia
1t Judge Pichfords decision later sustained by
the state supreme court that ordered the county records
removed from Old Jay to New Jay where they are.

Intensely Critical.

MCSKOGEE, Okla, Dec. liza
special dispatch to the Phoenix from
Grove, Okla, says:
The situation at Jay is intensely
critical. Sheriff Thomson has serv-
ed notice on the residents to remove
women and children from their
homes to places of safety. Both sides
are resting on their arms ready for
battle.
Sheriff Thomason is experiencing
great difficulty in securing men to
aid him as the majority of the peo-
pie favor Old Jay as the county seat
He has not more than 25 men while
the raiders number more than a hut
dred under the leadership of Sam
Boney, a Cherokee Indian. The Old
Jay forces are stationed within the
courthouse and nearby residences
and business buildings
a final appeal was made tonight TO
Governor Cruce for assistance but It
was unavaillng.
Hostillties are expected to begin at
