Corn is also heavy producer. 1t has

planted everywhere. Apples and
pears are the leading crops, but
grapes, peaches, plums, figs, etc, do

Money for New HIahway.

Deming -Messrs. r. C. Hoffman
and V. S. Hills have secured the
funds necessary for the building of
eight miles of road, beginning where
the road leading northeast of town
crossed the Santa Fe railroad. The
grubbing is to be done for $40 per
acre. The amount of grubbing to be
done is twenty-seven acres. After
grubbing is finished the use of grad
er will be brought into use, which
will cost $40 a day. The sand will be
scraped away leaving hard and solid
roadbed, and this being an east and
west road, the wind will keep it free
from sand. Four culverts will be put
in. Over 5000 has been subscribed for
this piece of road, and an effort will
be made to have the county donate
toward the building of this road.

One Of the greatest discoveries OF
science is due to observation OF the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part OF its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen min.
utes earlier than when It was in the
farthermost part; whereas by ali
rules OF astronomy they should have
occurred at the same minute each
time It was deduced from this that
light was not instantaneous, and CON

A simple little house like this is

knew a man, a clerk in lubri-

new house on pleasant street about
twenty years ago. At first he paid
$40 per month, but in seven or eight
years time the rent was raised to
$25. He is still living in the same
house, and is now paying $35 per
month. The house has not improved
with age, and he is continually look

advantages he now has. He has paid
enough rent to buy the house, to pay

he was offered the property years ago
for $4,000, which he thought was too
much money The lot itself is worth
more than that today. This is only

There is another very great advan-

fact that you are not obliged to have
your rent money ready promptly when

plant tree or shrub or some flow

the landlord; you can make altera-

convenience; and If the house or

you can rent It and borrow the money
to build another. and the rent from

.s<fhe mammoth tower at Tuckerton,
N.pJ., is to be part of a wireless
telegraph plant which will cost ST.

direct communication with con-
tinental Europe and the station, it is
explained, is to be one of a series
with which a German company pro-
poses to encircle the globe. As Ger
man capital is behind the enterprise,
eos will the whole structure of the
tower be completed by German labor,

eenstruction is being imported from

struction of wireless telegraph plants.
Its immense weight will rest on the

WINS NEW YORKER A BRIDE

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Dec. 30.-Miss
Sylvia Thorpe, 81 years old, of
Pittsburgh, Pa. is to be married in
ST. Louis soon to Henry George
Danes, 25 years old, of New York,
who won her by defeating Walter
standow, of Eau Claire, Wis, in an

Danes and Standow. who is a news

across the country to San Francisco
on a wager of $500 by Danes's father
that his son could complete the
tramp. They reached Johnstown,
Pa, on November II. and there met
Miss Thorpe. Both fell in love with
her and proposed, and she answered
she would become the bride of the
man first reaching st. Louis.
