The Charter Oak Company.

N. M. Richardson, the secretary
of the Charter Oak Mining &
Smelling Company, who had been
at the company's property on
Calf creek Tor ten days, passed
thru here last week. She says the
company have employed an expert
to make an examination and re-
port on the mine, after which the
board of directors will determine
what is to be done, if anything, in
the way of development work.
The mine WAS being uDwatered
when the men in charge of the
work were unfortunate and lost
the pump, it dropping to the bot
tom of the shaft. The unwatering
had progressed to such an extent
that an examination of the mine
can be made and the work will be
thorough, in order that the comp
any may know just what they
have and can form an opinion up
on which to work. The board of
directors have the money to go
ahead with development work,
but they will make no move until
they get the report of their expert.
George Helbig, of Encampment,
is now superintendent of the mine
having been recently placed in
charge, succeeding W. L..
Mathews.

The Ball Game Friday.

The Hanna school, in charge of
Prof. Fl. @. Hume, to the number
of 81, came up from that place
Friday morning. The time was
devoted to an enjoyment of the
sights around town and especially
the river, until the ball game be-
tween the Hanna school and the
Saratoga school was called on the
Fiar grounds. Fortunately the
day was warm and pleasant and
everybody enjoyed the weather.
The game was a good one, we'll
played and very much enjoyed by
all. The score at the end of the
9th inning stood 16 to 10 in favor
of Saratoga. The feature of the
game was the pitching by Garrett
Price and the catching by Joe
Harden. Garrett, while light in
weight, is scientific and used his
head for all it was worth and it
won the game for the Saratoga
team. Joe Harden is the best
catcher in the county and not a
single ball got past. him, which is
considered a most remarkable re-
cord. The Hanna boys did ex
cellent team work and while they
had no advantage as to age, they
averaged much larger and HEAVIER
than the Saratoga boys. Individ-
ually the Saratoga boys out-class-
ed them. The game was umpired
by Chas. McPhall and Joe Briggs.
the latter from Hanna, and their
decisions were considered fair on
all occasions. 1t was a good,
square game on both sides.
In the evening the Hanna
school children rendered a play to
a good audience in Jensen hall.
The school contains some talent
and Saratoga people express them
selves as much pleased with the
play. All of the Hanna teachers,
eight in number, came up from
Walcott in the evening and were
present at the play. On Saturday
morning the happy youngsters
left for home, vowing that they had
had a most enjoyable time, and e1-
pressed the determination to come
again soon.

Boxing Bout a Farce.

The 10 round boxing bout
scheduled for the 18th was
either a frame-up or lacked the
proper kind of material to make
lit popular. At any rate the Jap
Geo. Kogo made short work of
his antagonist in the very short
time of about one minute. The
match attracted considerable at
tention from the fact that the
Jap applied the "Jiu Jitsu"
science against the American
slugging method, with boxing
gloves. Scarcely had the eX-
hibition began before the wirey
little Jap with cat like alertness
had work his way into the guard
Of the white man, secured the
strangle hold and the pugalist
was through. The jap immed-
lately arose from his victory;
but it was several minutes be-
fore the crowd could understand
that the bout was over.
Again the Jap proved himself
the better man by settling his
bills while the white man left on
the early morning train, uncere-
moneously leaving his debts be-
hind.

Summers Burkhart presented a

striking out the instruction

after which the resolution in

A resolution thanking the peo-
pie Of Clovis for their hospitality

George H. Hunker. of San

resolution providing that one

convention, however, did not
take kindly to this idea and it
was not adopted, although Mr..
Norment had made it only as a
suggestion.
A recess was taken for the
delegates of the different dis

for delegates and alternates and
the hour of 6:Syhaving arrived,
with some of the delegates still
being considered. a recess was

Clovis Band Furnishes Music
During Convention.

That the Clovis band boys did
themselves proud during the con
vention and that the brand of
music they delivered met Tie
approval Of the town people as
well as the visitors is certain.
OF course the first thing in
order, by the committee on re-
ception was to look into the
music and get a band together
that could do credit to state
occasion of this nature. The
boys played well and to their ef-
forts is largely due the inocula-
tion of life into the convention
which had been frightfully
by the gloomy weather.
Let it be said that on any notable
the band boys can be
relied upon for their end of the
finished product.

Saving the Moisture and
Increasing Crops

Now that our moisture condi-
tions are favorable it is up to us
as farmers to make crops this
year. We know it is not the
amount of rain that falls on a
coun ~ that makes the crops,
but a.har the amount that we
can store and savein the soil for
the use &C the crops.
In thefirst place the soil should
be put in condition to receive all
moisture falling upon it instead
Of letting it run off. Deep fall
plowing and early winter plow
ing is most favorable to moist
ure storage. In mixing the
.seedbed it is we'll to emambar
that no after cultivation can
make amends for poor prepara-
ton. Our poorest farmers are
those that plow the least and
shalowesr. Again. the depth Of
our farms is the depth we plow
1t is not advisable to do deep
blowing at this time of year for
immediate planting unless the
soil can be packed back mechan-
ically Soil that has not been
plowed yet must necessarily be
plowed shallow or else must be
put in condition with disc har-
row or lister at once.
To save the moisture in land
that is to be planted in row
crops it is advisable to disc the
land at tonce, or single list it. AS
soon as this is done the harrow
should be used on it enough to
prevent any crusts from form
ing and also to keep the weeds
from starting.
At no time should a crust be
allowed to form on the surface
of a field that is being prepared
for a crop or that has a growing
crop on it. Evaporation from
the soil is going on practically
all the time. During the times
of evaporation, moisture is con-
stantly carried from the lower
soil to the surface by what is
known as capillary movements.
This capillary movement brings
the moisture to the surface like
oil through a lamp wick, where
it escapes into the air. This
constant drain soon dries out a
soil
