OUR ADVANTAGES
UNSURPASSED
Pacific Coast has Nothing on
us in Soil, Water or Climate
Says Homer w. Schofield.

Tn editor is in RECEIPT Of let
ter from Homer w. Schofield, for
merly manager and largest stock
holder in the Alamogordo Telephone
company, in which he makes some
favorable observations for this To-
cality and makes several sugges-
tions An excerpt is as follows: :
Land about San Diego, without
as good soil and without near the
water, and upon which no more
profitable crops will grow, (than
about Alamogordo,) is selling at
from fifty dollars per acre up,prin-
cipally up. Then Alamo has bet
ter climate than California. San
Diego is said to have the best eli
mate on the coast, and the Alamo
climate certainly beats it.
81 might little later send some
comparative data relative to land
and soil conditions out here, and
the pumping proposition. l rather
expect to remain here over and dur
ing the 1915 exposition, and it
strikes me that if the people of
Alamo would make an effort the
stream of immigration might be
made to run towards them some. l
see that the legislature has appro-
priated $4,000 for an exhibit here,
and | would like very much for the
Alamo country to get into the pic
ture. 1t has been suggested that
part of the exhibit consist of NOV
ing pictures of the sights of the
state. l think the idea is a good
one and | also think we who are in
terested should do what we can TO
get Alamogordo properly mention
ed. There will be lots of immi-
grants come via this port"

co. HIGH SCHOOL
SHOULD BE HERE
State School Supt. White Says
Alamogordo is the only
Eligible Candidate.

Befor leaving town Thursday Sup
erintendent of Schools X. s. Tip
ton received the following commun-
ication from the state superintend-
ent's office. Mr.. Upton says that
the statement was unsolicited by
MIN. but nevertheless is very ex-
plicit:
I'VE note that you are having an
interesting time with reference TO
your county high school. IL Is the
opinion of this department that II
Alamo has the only high school
with a four year course in Otero
county, II will be necessary for the
people of the county TO designate
II as the county high school and the
other schools would not be eligible
until they had developed a good
high school course. This would
not be true in counties where there
we're no well established high
schools"
The above came as somewhat of 6
surprise, though II has been knowr
for some time that In most casei
Supt. White has deemed county
seats as the most logical locations
for high schools. In the case o.
otero county the Supt holds tina
Alamogordo n not only the logica
location but Is the only place which
Is eligible for a county high schoo
at the present time. because II hai
the only high school with an &c
credited four year course.

SAVED FROM DEATH In
TANK OF LINSEED OIL


EDGEwATER, NJ j., Sept. a.
Risking their own lives to save
others yesterday. a gang of workmeli
rescued Superintendent John w.
Lowe and Assistant superintendent
Edward Smith, of the Midland Lin
seed OIL Company, from burial alive
In a tank of linseed at this place.
Lowe took advantage of the shut
ting down of the works on the holt
day to make an inventory of the
stock on hand. They had climbed to
the top of a fifty-foot tank into
which seed is placed and permitted
TO ferment. Lowe removed the man
hole at the top. A rush of gas over
came him and he fell headlong into
the seeds.
With q rope about him, Smith at
once went after him and he, too, be-
came unconscious. In some manner
the rope end followed him into the
tank. Hurrying to the firehouse, the
workmen borrowed fire helmets and
were lowered into the tank. Both
men were found buried In the loose
seed.
DR.. Roberts, Of the North Hudson
Hospital, Weehawken, had been
called. working over both men with
pulmotor, he restored them to con-
seriousness. They were removed to
their homes very weak. A few
minutes more in the tank, it is be-
1ieved, would have cost both Of them
their lives.

points which had been testified false
ly Both Beekman, the bankrupt.
and his brother Abram, face perjury
charges as a result of their testi-
mony in the bankruptcy court.
Bankruptcy Referee Edwin g.
Adams is considering dropping the
charges since Theodore has gone on
the stand and corrected his past
testimony. Abram will probably be
given chance to "re-testify'' this
afternoon.

WOMAN In SLIT BATHING
SKIRT MOBBED BY MEN
Vision in Purple Faints Under
Rough Handling.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. g.
Mrs. Charles tanning created such
sensation on the beach yesterday by
a slit-skirt bathing costume that she
was literally mobbed.
Mrs. tanning, who is the wife of a
hotel owner of Burlington, appeared
at the foot of South Carolina avenue
in suit of vivid purple silk. Her
skirt, which did not reach below her
knees, was slit on each side from the
hem to the waist. Her stockings and
cap were also dlzzily purple, and she
led toy poodle, around whose neck
was a huge bow of the same hue.
Scarcely had she stepped upon the
strand when an excursionist picked up
handful of sand and threw 1t at one
of the Sits. 1t struck. Mrs. Lanning
turned to reprove him and received
another singing handful of sand on
the other side. A dozen men then
took up the game. while hundred
others laughed and jeered.
Policeman Craig and number of
life-g guards fought their way through
the crowd When they got to Mrs.
Lanning she was unconscious. They
carried her to the hospital tent, where
DIR. Charles Bossert revived her.
There was such throng about this
place that an automobile was run
down upon the beach to take the
woman to the Hotel BiScayarl, where
she has been staying. She Is under
treatment for hysteria.
