GOOD CROPS
At TORREON

Hon. Juan c. Jaramillo, accom-.
panied by his wife and little
daughter Tomasita, came down
from Torreon this morning to
visit and attend to business mat
ters. Mr.. Jaramillo informs US
that the farmers of the Torreon
Grant have had a very successful
season, and although they farm
small tracts, the aggregate of
their products makes a very nice
figure. Mr.. Jaramillo has
shipped and sold As, pounds of
beans, Adolfo Gallegos has han
died 10000 pounds, and Mrs.
Garcia has 25, 900 or 10000. Be-
sides this the farmers of the
Grant hold upwards of 100000
pounds. They have the best
crop of corn ever produced on
the Grant, and also had a good
crop of wheat.

JUVENILE
IMPRESSIONS

The intricacies of the English
language as generally spoken is
we'll illustrated by an exchange
between two Estancia seven
year-olds last Friday. 1t was
during the deliberations of the
jury in the Holloway-McKinley
case, the jury having
been out since the previous eve
ming. The jurors were passing
through the court house yard in
charge of the bailiffs.
One of the youngsters pointed
to the crowd and said, There's
that jury"
The other replied, 'Aw, it's no
such thing. | heard they hung
that jury last night

LAND AND LEASES
WANTED

The committee having in
charge the soliciting of land and
oil and gas leases for the deep
we'll project are now busily at
work, and the indications are
that the residents will do their
share. If the non resident land
Fowners do as well, the required
land and leases will be secured.
Nonresident owners could ex-
pedite matters very much if they
would execute their deeds and
send them along instead of wait
ing for a letter from the the COM
miitee. This could easily be done.
The deeds should be made to S.
Spore, trustee, and sent to the Es-
tancia Savings Bank to be held in
escrow and delivered only upon
completion of the wells according
to the terms of the contract.
The contract and bond Of
$10,0 600 are now in the hands of
the committee as heretofore stat
ed, and it remains only for the
land and leases to be put up to
complete the deal.

GOOD SHOWING
At STATE FAIR

The indications were Monday
that Torrance county would have
very respectable showing, with
a good prospect of winning a nice
bunch of premiums, at the state
fair. Mr.. Farley spent a lot of
energy and money in getting the
agricultural display together, and
the winnings in that line will be
largely due to his work. w. w.
Wagner Of Mcintosh was there
with some live stock, J. E. Moody
entered his fine black team, and
Peter J. Moe entered a very fine
three'year-old colt. There may
have been other entries in this
line that we did not learn about.
Also, another line of products in
which the Estancia valley ex-
GELS was represented by the Hit
twins of Willard, and the heir

Mrs. Ben Striplin, which were
in the better babies con-
test. If these babies do not win
prizes we shall think the judges
were prejudiced. In the agri-
cultural and horticultural lines
there were two large loads of
products, and while they were
not in place on Monday when the
News-Herald man was there, it
was evident that the display
would be a nice one. P. A.
Speckmann took over load, and
remained to help Mr.. Farley ar
range the display and look after
It.

OPPORTUNITY.

First Mortgage Gold Bonds, secured
by improved farms, are superior in
many respects and much more desira-
BILE as an investment, than many of the
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange.
They are not effected by strikes.
political eccentricities or stock market
manipulations. They do not fiuctuate.
For safety. stability and attractive
income the farm mortgage stands at
the head with few equals and no SUI

For the benefit Of those of small
means we have Gold Bonds in denomin-
ations of $4,000. netting so interest.
No expense in collecting interest or
