RAISE CHILE AND
GAN IT SAYS Ed
INQUIRE
Old Timer in Rio Grande Be-
lieves There Is Golden 0p-
pOrtunity for Experienced
Canning Man in the Red
Hot" Business.

Commenting on the proposal Of u.
u. Bontson Of old Albuquerque To es-
tublish a general canning factory this
coming spring. Edward Mcclure. for
more than twenty years a resident Of
Albuquerque ana the valley, said today
that In his opinion "A canning factory
can be made a paying proposition by
canning nothing but green chile.
There Is a generous fortune lying
around awaiting for the mon who will
start the chile Industry In Alhuuuer-
que" said Mr.. Mcclure. New Mex
leo chile beats California chile mile.
The chile that is canned at the Cali
fornia factories does not compare with
New Mexico chic. The central Rio
Grando valley has the edge on tho
world on chile. The farmers know
how TO raise Il. Produce market
for the chile Ia the way OF a canning
factory and watch the farmers grow
more of Il than they over ala before.
1 am strong for a canning factory, but
believe Albuquerque chile" should be
canned and sent all over the world.
1T would be che best grade OF
canned chile obtainable on thc market
and will advertise Albuquerque better
than anything else"

Washington, Jan. 12.--Smiths and

100 years or more, passed out OF the

OF the early history OF Smiths and
Myrtle islands little IS known, except
that the tract comprised part of the
grant made To one John Neale about
1896. and that tradition marks u as
one OF the retreats Of captain John
smith OF Pocahontas fame

property was executed by George W.

excepting about sixteen acres used by

neys In the matter. had many diiii-
culties IN emecting the deal, largely
owing 10 the fact that John y. Curtis.

which was never recorded. All mem-
oranda OF the records have been lost.
The oldest residents Of Northhamp-
ton county declare that Myrtle island
was originally part of smiths island,
hut that sixty or more years ago the
wash of the sea cut a channel through
smiths island and that the portion now
lying south OF the existing channel
was thereafter called Myrtle island,
Because of this division OF the Is
land against Itself the claim was
made on one occasion that the part
called Myrtle island, ana comprising
about 1000 acres. belonged TO William

the Lees to ownership OF the whole

OF an action In ejectmeDt.
