BIG CROP OF ALFALFA.

Some two weeks ago the farmers
began cutting their alfalfa in the
lower country. The weather was fine
and much of the first crop was cured
and stacked before any damage was
done to it by rain. Last week the
Animas valley ranchers, also many
of those in the eastern part of the
county, began moving their first crop
of alfalfa. The two or three show
ers that we have had in the past
week delayed the work but as the
showers have not been heavy and
there has been great deal of sun
shine but little or no damage has been
done to the crop so far. 1t is to be
hoped that the farmers will have an
opportunity to get up the first crop
before the July rains begin in earnest.
At the best it will require careful
handling in order to prevent loss from
the showers that are about due. The
spring has been very favorable and a
big crop is reported from all sections
Alfalfa and timothy raising is one OF
the chief industries of this country
In some sections of the county the
first crop of alfalfa will not be ready
to cut until about the Fourth Of July
In the open country some distance
from the mountains the rains are noi
so continual and not so much dam.
age is done to hay during the rainy
season.

ROOSEVELT LEADERS WAITING

AT the present time there is but
little news from the Roosevelt head
quarters. 1t is presumed that the
leaders of the new movement are
waiting to see what the Democrats
will do at Baltimore. Should con
seryative platform be adopted the
Wilson and Bryan forces will be alien
ated from the Democratic party. This
would lend encouragement to the
Roosevelt leaders and perhaps offer
an opportunity to form a union Of the
two forces losing out at the two ma
tional conventions. The Roosevelt
people are in hopes that Bryan will
be kicked out at Baltimore and Wilson
defeated for the nomination. They
insist that with the aid of some Of
the Bryan influence they can sweep
the Mississippi valley and Pacific
slope clean and have fighting show
in all parts of the country. 1t is
hardly expected that their hopes will
be realized. The chances are that
the Democrats will patch things up
in some way in order to hold Bryan
and Wilson. 1t is claimed by the Taft
leaders that Roosevelt will draw as
heavily from the Democratic side as
he will from the Republican side and
that the Republicans have nothing to
fear because of his being in the field
as an independent candidate.

COUNTRY GROOMING.

Reports are coming in from all sec
tions Of the San Juan country that
the business outlook is better than it
has been tor nearly two years. The
report of the big fruit, grass and
grain crops throughout this section
has had much to do with the stimulp-
tion Of business in general. The mer.
chants of Durango report better bust
ness. There is an encouraging look
on the faces of the farmers and the
business men. But the evidence is
not only with the talk and looks. The
surer evidence is in the investment of
capital. Here in Durango number
Of residences are in the process Of
construction, improvements are pc
ing made in the business properties
and new business blocks are going up
or are being planned. This is an un-
usual showing considering the fact
that all are in the habit of resting
cd their oars during presidential
campaign. Then too considering the
reaction, resulting from the failure Of
the Southern Pacific to build when it
had planned, and also considering the
TACT that the continual rains of last
year and the big food which did con-
siderable damage and the closing of
the smelter for the winter, it is evil
dent that this country is in good con
dition There should be no effort
made to create boom. Booms are
not good as to hEal results. What
we want and what we are going to
have is good healthy growth.
