one out. OF course. any person who

able to hit the long fly or the sim

would possibly be rs to 2--in other
words hatsman of ordinary ability
would succeed in hitting safely only
two times In twenty-five attempts,

IMPORTANT FARMERS MEET
Continued from First Page)

City. Florence and elsewhere. already
have had inquiries from buyers about
the prospects for crops next year. the
probable acreage, and the varieties likely
to be grown. This is regarded as the
best indication of a ready market.
From data given US by farmers with
whom we have conferred, we believe
that the vegetable acreage in the valley
will be increased at least SO per cent
in 1914"
Several other matters of impor-
tance will be taken up at the
meeting of the Otero County Ag-
ricultural association tomorrow
afternoon and it bids fair to be
one of the most interesting meet
ings that has ever been held.

Big irrigation Canal Scheme

Otero county may have big irrigation
canal, like unto the Panama Canal run
ming through it before many years-that
is, it will if resolution passed by the
Dry Farming Congress held at Tulsa,
Okla, recently. ever results in bringing
about what is hoped for and expected of
it. The instigator of the scheme is n. H.
Parks. of Grandfield, Okla. who introduc-
ed. He thinks that inasmuch as enor-
nous expenditures have been made by
the federal government in improving
waterways in the east, while nothing of
the kind has been done in the west, it is
about time for congress to be favorably
inclined to the proposition, since it will
make the arid region the most productive
territory in the United States.
The plan is to build canal from some
point on the Missouri river in North OAK
ota through the great plains states. or
arid region of the United States, connect
ing with the Colorado river. The main
object would be to irrigate the arid region
and If done it would be the most gigantic
undertaking in the way of irrigation in
the country. It will be suggested that
Colonel Goethals and the machinery, or
as much as may be needed. that was
used in the building of the Panama
canal be transferred to do the work.
Those who attended the Dry Farming
Congress in Tulsa were quite sanguine as
to the future of the scheme. and believe
that it will ultimately be brought about.
It's a good thing. so lets push it along -

A Reyiew of The Smallpox Epidemic

The first case of smallpox was report
ad on Oct 2. The second and third came
on Oct s. Knowing that these did not
come from a clear sky we started out on
Monday, Oct. 6, looking fer the origin
and found it. We found five families
with unmistakea5e smallpox. Three of
these had been told they had chickenpox,
two had not consulted a doctor. One of
these families lived on North Main street
the others on North Sixth and Seventh,
near Catalpa avenue. One Of these
children was attending the High school.
two or three the Liberty school and one
man working. Exposure had already
been wide spread.
Within three hours after finding these
cases we had ordered a supply of vaccine
points for the schools. we had arranged
for d meeting OF the Board Of Education
also for special session of the City
Council, and had reported by phone to
the State Board of Health. We knew
that day that serious situation confront
ed the city--that big epidemic was be-
fore US. Nothing that came afterwards
surprised us-the surprise all came that
day,
During the month of October we placed
a quarantine card on SO houses with over
90 cases of smallpox. In November we
quarantined 20 houses with 54 cases of
smallpox In December there has not
been any new cards put up. No case has
ever been traced to house under quar-
antne About twc-thlrds OF the cases
| occurred IN the northwest part Of town
about one third in the northeast part of
town and very few south of the rail-

Arranging Stock

The Lincoln McCrea are very
busy in the repair department lining
up the supplies for the summer
work and placing the stock in such
a manner that when the farmer
comes in in a hurry for some certain
part of his machinery it will be east
ly found and no time lost to the far
mer. All he has to do to get the
part in hurry is to have the num-
Der of the part wanted and it will
under this new arrangement be easily
found. This store is arranging ev-
erything so they can serve the Gus
toner in the best possible manner.
This week the store reports that
their harness maker. N. E. Walker,
has taken six orders for hand made
harness. This shows that the farm
ers of this vicinity are progressive
and want the best that money can
buy.

Candidates Chosen

The city Caucus was held last
Friday evening and not very large
per cent of the voters of the town
were present. It seems as if the
people of this town would take more
interest in the welfare of the place
than they do. The people want a
good town, but still they will sit by
their fire side and let a few do what
there is to do and then you can hear
some one following his head off be-
cause this and that is not done right.
The following men were nominated
for the five candidates for council
men: Z. A. Dammareil, Joday
Long. ]. F. Brown, Herman Heiber
and M. Bleck.

A Cold Murder

Friday morning the town was
alive with crack shots for a short
time. Someone noticed a coyote
coming into town at race horse speed
and it was soon decided that he
must be stopped before he ran him.
self to death. Several of the boys
got out with rifles and tried to bit
him while he was running around on
the side of the hill. After a time
the animal stopped in disgust at the
bunch who was watching him and
Chet Mellison got in lucky shot
and the fellow was no more. 1t is
not safe in this town for anything to
try to get through without getting
shot.

Import Good Horses

Lewiston, Idaho, Mar. 20 (Spec-
al to Gazette B. H. Schooler, of
the firm of Follett & Schooler, big
horse dealers of Genessee, arrived
home this week with fine carload
of draft animals. He was three
days on the road from the east.
The carload consisted of twelve head
of draft horses, nine mares and
three stations. These are some of
the finest horses ever shipped into
the Genesee country. The horses
will be kept in Genessee until the
spring opens up and then they will
be taken to the Follett & Schooler
farm east of town where they will be
cared for.

Troy Objects

AS yet the N. P. hasn't put the
helper back on the hill and their
trains are still running behind sched-
ule time making it impossible to
finish business in the county seat
between trains. The new superin-
tendent is, evidently, going to show
the company where they have been
grossly extravagant heretofore by
having a helper on the hill. which
he perhaps imagined was an orna-
ment rather than a necessity. There
is some talk now of having automo-
bile service between Troy and
Moscow during the summer months
and if the plan materializes, it is
quite likely that a 12-passenger Car
will be pushed into service. There
is no question but what such service
would receive liberal patronage and
would be a paying proposition if
two round trips day were made.
Such service would be greatly appre-
ciated now. Troy News.

Rejoicing in Lewiston

Lewiston. Idaho. Mar. 20. (Spec-
ial to Gazette.) Perhaps no devel-
opment of years has caused more
rejoicing in Lewiston and Charleston
than the news announcing that Gov
ernor Haines had approved the bill
whereby Idaho appropriates forty
thousand dollars for the purchase of
one-half of the Lewiston Charleston
interstate bridge. AS the Washing
ton legislature appropriated thirty
thousand dollars for the Washington
half, this sum to be supplemented
by ten thousand dollars secured
from Charleston and Asotin county
The action of the Idaho executive
assures that the structure is to be-
come free-a development anticipa-
ted for years by the two communit-
les. The Washington appropriation
was limited to thirty thousand in
pursuance of the fixed plan of the
state highway development that in
matters of this kind the community
directly benefited shall bear a por-
ton of the expense. That portion
usually equals one half of the total
sum neces sary, but Representative
Halsey of Asotin Comfy, author of
the Washington bill, was successful
in having the state appropriate three
quarters of the cost or thirty thou
sand dollars.

School Notes.
tBy Special Correspondant.)

Miss Dryden, the County Super
intendent, paid the school a short
visit last week and was greatly
pleased by the progress of the
pupils this term. She also made
several statements regarding the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of hav-
ing the higher grades here next
year. She states that in one way
the 11th and 18th grades here next
year would benefit those who are
not preparing for a college education
while. on the other hand. it would
be detriment to those who take
the grades here and expect to enter
college, as the new school building
contains no resources to permit the
study of chemistry, botany and
physics; and without credits obtain
ed by labratory work in these stud
les they are not accepted by colleges
or higher schools. The patrons of
this district should give this situation
special attention as we want to make
the *. H. S." the center of edu-
cational facilities.
There is constant rivalry among
the eighth grade spelling class for
supremacy at the head. They take
so much interest in their spelling
that it is great honor to anyone to
stand at the head of the class the
entire week. Last week Edward
Murphy was the victor and the pre-
ceeding week Edith Compton held
the post of honor.
The high school students are be-
coming quite proficient in all thei,
studies but especially so in geome-
try and E. History.
