THIRD CUTTING OF
ALFALFA FINISHED
Chamberino Bridge Being
Repaired; Anthony Farm
ers Would Help Refugees.

Anthony, N NJ, Aug. 2.-The third
cutting of alfalfa is being put up and
while there was a small proportion
caught in the showers the first days OF
the week. still the larger part of the
crop is safe and of very fine grade.
I There is a slightly smaller crop than
usual, due to a shortage OF water
few weeks back. In fact the crop mas
averaged slightly lower in yield all
through the season so far, but the in
creased acreage now coming into bear
ing from the paintings of the past few
years, assures a larger movement of
hay than ever before. The price is
firm here at S11.50 and S12 for choice
The Farmers association met at the
school house and among other business
transacted, raised the rate Of the COM
mission charged for handling the hay
from so cents per ton to fiat rate
OF per cent on the invoice This was
done to provide for certain losses in
Cured last year in handling so much
damaged and off grade hay, and also
to provide ample funds for the larger
business and widening Of the trade OF
the association

Would Aid Refugees.
There is great unanimity OF opinion
in all Of this part OF the valley that the
affairs in Mexico and the lack of action
by our government is calculated to
make Americans ashamed There are
so many here who are well acquainted
with the conditions and the people OF
Mexico who declare that If drastic
action is not taken at once and a firm
front put up that Americans viii not
be safe in Mexico for the next genera
ton Some of the farmers OF the Canu-
tillo neighborhoOd are offering to take
as many of the refugees as they can
get and employ them on their farms
until the matter is settled, but the men
have stayed in Mexico so this may not
be so much help after all

Repairing the Bridge.
Mr.. Bailey, OF the FL PaSo Bridge
company, is up here in charge OF q
gang of men recovering the spans OF
the Chamberino bridge, of which there
are eight lying scattered in the river
bed and sand bars near the site OF the
bridge. Mr.. Bailey is certain that he
can save all of them and the only eX-
pense will be the new pillars and the
labor necessary to replace The new
piling work will be not less than SO
feet into the bed OF the river and viii
be protected by rock thrown in around
them after they are driven. This, 1t is
thought, will hold the bridge until the
elephant Butte PROJECT IS 4AA4SnGNs
when there viii be little danger OF the
repetition of this years floods A very
large amount of hay is held in storage
on the west side from the first cutting
on account of the lack Of bridges.
