MASS MEETING
OF TAXPAYERS

The meeting called for Satur
day afternoon to consider the
steps which have been taker
looking to a reduction of the de
linauent taxes of the New Mexi
co Fuel & Iron Co., was held ir
the Brashears building, and was
we'll attended.
w. D. WATSON was elected
chairman, and A. L. Bilsing
secretary.
In response to a call by the
chairman the editor of the News
Herald explained briefly the
legal steps which had been taken
and the present status of the
case, which explanation was am
plifed by Fred H Ayers.
The chairman then made a
fiery speech setting forth in very
plain terms his views of the case,
which were to the effect that the
common taxpayers had been
walked over with hob nailed
shoes, their interests ignored
and held for naught, and that if
they submitted tamely it served
them right-but he didn't think
they would submit tamely. AT
ter thorough discussion quite
generally participated in, it de-
veloped that The sentiment was
unanimous in opposition to the
proposed reduction.
The following resolution was
passed unanimously:
BE it resolved by this meet
ing of citizens and taxpayers OF
Torrance county, that we are
unalterably opposed to a reduc-
ton or scaling down of delin-
ouent taxes of the New Mexico
Fuel & Iron Co., or any other
company, corporation or individ
ual, and we shall use all means
in our power to prevent such re
duction."
After discussion it was decided
that the views and sentiments of
the meeting should be presented
to the county commissioners,
and the following named com
mittee was appointed for thai
purpose:

doing. His corn is very sturdy
and thrifty. showing unusually
heavy stalks about eight feet ir
heighth. 1t is just now coming
into roasting ears.
The Milbourns are cutting
their latest sowing of spring
wheat this week. 1t is very
heavy and it is thought will yield
above forty bushels per acre.
S. B. Grin, who lives six miles
west of town, brought in sam
| pie bunch from his oats field last
Saturday. Mr.. Grin has good
crops all around, but he is par
ticularly proud of his oats be-
bause they look 80 pretty. They
are just typically fine oats, stand
about four feet in height and will
yield about fifty bushels to the
acre.
Residents in the vicinity of Ed
Ogilvie's place northeast of town
tell US that he has the biggest
beans they have seen this year.
The beans stand two feet high,
and give promise of an extraor'
dinary yield.
Last week we made mention
Of some Early Harvest apples
grown by R. L. Porter. We now
have full information in regard
to them, and it is of interest to
all residents of the Valley. The
tree is one of four or five planted
by the original settler on the
ranch bought by Mr.. Porter, and
it is about fifteen years old. 1t
stands near the watering trough,
and during the winter water ran
out around it and froze, and the
frost remained in the ground
there longer than in exposed
places. This had the effect of
retarding the blooming, and it
seems probable that this had an
important bearing on the result
the extraordinarily fine quality
and extra size of the fruit. Mr..
Porter thinks the tree has pro-
duced twenty bushels of apples.
They are of extra size and
quality, the larger ones measur-
ing over nine inches in circum-
ference and weighing seven
ounces. There are no small ones,
and there is apparently not a
wormy or blemished apple in the
lot. The other trees of the same
age are of late varieties and are
bearing good crops. None of
them have had any attention in
pruning or cultivating.

TORRANCE COUNTY
CROP NOTES

R. E. Chapman, who lives five
miles this side Of Manzano, was
in town Tuesday. He tells us
that he has all kinds of fruit this
year. He had a good crop Of
cherries, and has grapes. peach.
es and apples. He planted an
orchard the first thing when he
came here five years ago and is
now beginning to reap the re-
ward of his labors. He lost the
larger part of his apple crop this
year because he did not know
when to spray. However, he
has sprinkling of many differ
ent varieties, and now has the
knowledge of when and how to
spray, and thinks that hereafter
he will have lots of fruit. The
apples left him by the moth
show up very fine. Most of
them are late varieties and have
not yet reached maturity. He
reports field crops in his neigh
borhood excellent. He thinks
he has increased his potato crop
very largely by spraying. Early
in the season his potatoes showed
signs of brown rot, but he stop
ped it by spraying, and now has
large quantities of marketable
potatoes, but there are also lots
of small ones and he thinks the
yield will be unusually heavy.
J. A. Cobb was over from
Lucia Tuesday. He tells the
same story of fine crops that
comes from every part of the
county. He says the fine rain
of Monday afternoon and night
makes the corn crop an accom-
plished fact. There are num-
ber of farmers in the Lucia
neighborhood who planted corn
late, not expecting to get any
thing but fodder, but they are
going to be burdened with a
good crop of corn.
The settlers on the east side of
the valley are getting into the
crop game this year all right. 0.
w. Bay, who lives northeast of
town about ten miles, has about
fifteen acres of corn now in roast
ing ear. Mr.. Bay is tall man,
and he cannot reach the top of
the stalks. The corn is now
made, and will yield fine crop.
VIM. Bryant in the same neigh
borhood has demonstrated what
can be done with just an ordin-
ary we'll and windmill and
small box reservoir. He has the
finest garden in the valley, with
every variety of garden truck
you can think of. He has corn
that is getting hard, great big
pumpkins and squashes, and
water melons more than half
grown, and they are going to
make big ones. A. Loveall in
the same vicinity has about forty
acres of beans and corn that
can't be beaten in anybody's
country. The fact seems to be
that in all parts Of the county
the farmers who have worked
have made a most gratifying
success.
Nicolas Baca brought in a hill
of corn from his field last Satur-
day to show the lowlanders what

HOW Do THEY LIVE?

7 HOW DO THEY LIVE?
Some highly interesting in
formation comes to us in the last
bulletin of the Nebraska state
bureau of labor.
1t seems that the average
monthly cost of living for wage
earners in that state is $57.22, and
the average monthly earnings of
male employees in the state is
$59.05.
Evidently the wage earners of
Nebraska are rich beyond the
dreams of avarice.
Here are all the plain people in
that great and glorious state
earning on the average the ire
mendous sum of ST 90 every day,
and keeping their families on it, j
and having, at the end of each
month, the great sum of $1.83
surplus with which to buy auto
mobiles or such like trihes.
But the really and truly inter
esting part of the bulletin is in
little piece of information tackled
on to its obscure end.
'In the city of Omaha" says
the bulletin, "the cost of living
exceeds the monthly earnings of
wage earners by So every month,
and in the city of Lincoln by So
every month"
We are filled with intense cur
iosity to know how the wage
earners and their families live in
the cities of Omaha and Ne
braska.

general effect. Punch was served dur

which represented large yellow rose,
hung a yellow bag out from which
peeped many little white cloth cats,

extended to each plate bearing dam

given as favors. The guests when
seated were instructed to draw a cat
