NEWSY LETTER FROM
new MEXICO READER
l.. TIWBERLAKE WRITES
OF CARLSBAD
COUNTY l75 MILES ACROSS
Man Rides 100 Miles Horse
back to Serve On Jury
3,OO0Ga1lons to Minute Sp'g
Carlsbad, N. NJ. Sept. %.


Editor Observation-Disclosures
every person over ten years Of
age in Hampstead county has
heard it said that Washington is
inan inaccessible part of the coun-
| ty. Perhaps it does seem so for
those who have to ride fifteen, or
maybe twenty miles to the county
site. But what if they had to 90
as far to court as the people here
have to go. A man came in here
about two weeks ago, and, while
talking to him, he told me he had
ridaenhorseback a hundred miles
to serve on the grand jury. The
next day another man came in
from the opposite direction and
said he had come sixty miles to
attend court. I do not mention
this to bring to mind anything
that has been said about our court
house, or its location; but to show
the Inconvenience Of living here,
when compared tolivingin Hemp
stead county. This county is one
hundred miles across one way, and
2 hundred and seventy-tiye miles
the other way. Freighting here is
doneabout likeit was done in Ark
ansas fifty years ago-hauled on
wagons to the country, and neigh
boring towns for a distance Of a
lhpndred miles oEmore.
/ We we're joined about two weeks
ago by our esteemed friends, Mr..
n fFfl& l4rs. G. k. i3eilseH u4s tssEstusr4##
ington- We are indeed glad to
have them withus. tits a pleasure
to again be with some one we
know, after being SO long among
strangers.
The best thing | have seen il
thiscountry is Carlsbad Springs,
located two miles north of town
on the bank Of the Pecos river.
"a friend Of ours took my wife
and l out to the Spring Wednes-
day afternoon. The spring is the
largest [ ever saw. It sends out
more than three thousand gallons
Of clear, sparkling water every
minute, or 1about four and one
half million gallons every day.
Now this is some water, but when
one sees the size o fthe stream as
it comes from the ground, and
the force with which it runs, he
will be surprised that the flow is
not greater than it is.
There are a few fields Of cotton
here, but the crops are not good,
if compared to the cotton grown
Arkansas, ,orother cotton states.
Il suppose the average yield per
acre would be about of bale.
Unlike Hampstead county towns,
we see no wagons loaded with
cotton coming to market, no corn
or other crops being harvested.
AS far as gathering crops is con
cerned, fall Of the year is like
any other part of the year.
| The weather here now is cool,
clear and fine.
Good luck to the people Of
Hampstead county
Sincerely yours,
l.. A. TIMBERLAKE.
