STRAWBERRIES GROW ON ICE

rem plains. Here they could rest and
enjoy some Of the almost forgotten
luxuries Of life.
Pacific spring IL 1000 feet above sea
level. and about, at the headwaters of
the Sweetwater river. Is a series Of
small valleys. or rather meadows,
sheltered by the southern extremity
OF the Wind River mountains. On the
north side Of the hills is what is local
ly called FIAT" where the grass grew
in green luxuriance. In this tall
prairie grass was found the tiny red
wild strawberry.
This does not seem marvellous In the
warm sunshine. But take a spade and
remove the turf, and solid cakes of ice
are found at depth of often less than
q foot.
The reason for this is quite simple.
The warm spring sunshine melts the
snow which runs down the montain
side. This goes on until late summer
and fall, when the small streams of
water freeze at night.
As the warmth of the sun at this
season touches only the top of the
mountain, the little stream soon be-
comes solid ice. BY the action of the
elements and washing Of earth down
the mountain, a deposit Of soil is made
on this ice, which, when the summer
rolls around once more. springs into
fresh, green life.
The few hours Of sunshine which
reaches this sheltered spot each day
suffice to ripen the Strawberries, but
cannot melt the ice beneath them or
warm the soil below the roots Of these
brave volunteers. ~

A. D. PAXTON AnhAneeS FOR
CULTIVATION OF ORCHARD

Archie D. Paxton, the well known
orchardisi Of Orange California, who
owns u large tract of land ten miles
east Of Deming, has just finished
having put in II well on his place by
the Lucas Brothers, and n 25-h. p.
Columbus engine has been installed.
A Layne and Bowler centrifugal
pump has also been placed by Ed.
A. Mooney and the well now shows
a flow Of 600 gallons a minute.
Mr.. Paxton has planted forty acres
to apple, pear, and ounce trees and
will in the near future have one of
the finest fruit orchards in the MINI
bres Valley. lie is an experienced
fruit raiser and has expressed great
faith in this section as a fruit pro-
Queer, which is demonstrated by the
fostering Of his present venture.
Several other noted orchardists
from California and Oregon have
bought farms in the Mimbres Valley
and all have arranged to 20 into the
fruit raising business on n large
scale and in the next five years this
locality will be leading rival of
California and Oregon in the raising
Of apples, pears, peaches and small
fruits.

Residents Of southern Luna count Y
are preparing to defend themselves
in the event Of war with Mexico, ac-
cording to s. J. Smith, member Of
the democratic state central commit
te. who was in Albuquerque Saturday
night, returning from Santa Fe.
Mr.. Smith applied to Governor Me-
Donald and Adjutnnt General Harry
7. Herring when in Santa Fe for fifty
government rifles. They were COM
PEELED to refuse his request because
of the fact that the state had already
distributed all the rifles to the New
Mexico National guard companies,
he was told.
Mr. Smith stopped in Albuquerque
Saturday night and bought several
rifles. He left at IL 20 Sunday
morning for Deming on his way home.
He lives south Of Deming, ten miles
from the Mexican border.
The people of the southern part Of
the county, Mr.. Smith said, are con-
templating the organization Of com
pany of home guards to prevent dep
relations by small parties along the
border, if the United States and Mex
leo finally openly declare war

GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES
USE OF L000EP0lE PINE

Lodgepole pine, of which there are
abundant stands in both the Rocky
Mountain and Coast ranges, when
treated with preservatives ought to
serve in the place Of red cedar as n
pole timber, says the department Of
agriculture in a bulletin just issued
on Rocky Mountain woods for tele-
phone poles.
The rapid extensive of telephone
and power lines in the West is making
the question Of pole supply one Of in
creasing importance. Western red
cedar, for lang the standard pole
timber Of the western states, grows
only in Washington, Oregon, and
northern Idaho, and in the states
south Of that region its cost is high,
owing to the great distance over
which 1t must be transported. In
addition, the heavy drain on the
supply promises to result in increas-
insly higher prices.
The tendency Of lodgepolc pine to
decay rapidly when in contact with
the ground has SO far kept il out of
the field as a competitor of the cedar,
according to the department, but the
general adoption Of preservative
treatment by railroad and telephone
comapnies changes the situation. Al
and additional cost for treatment
that still leaves the pine pole the
cheaper Of the two in most markets
outside the cedar region, states the
department, the pine may be made to
last longer than untreated cedar.
Tests carried on at the forest service
laboratory also showed lodgepole
pine To be ~ strong ns the cedar, If
not actually stronger.
Fire-killed lodgepole pine, of which
there is n vast quantity in the Rocky
Mountain region. showed a strength
under test 40 per cent that Of live
red cedar. In elastic values. the two
were practically equal, and in stiff
ness, fi-s.- killed lodgepole pine is quite
comparable to the cedar. The pre-
judice against the use Of fire-killed
material is a mistaken one, says the
department, for there is no inherent
difference in wood seasoned on the
stump and wood cut when green and
then seasoned. On many areas such
material remains entirely sound for a
number of years after the fire which
killed il and besides is thoroughly
seasoned and thus ready for preserv-
alive Treatment as soon as cut.
Engelmann spruce is another
Rocky Mountain tree which the de-
partment suggests might be used for
poles. II is not as strong AZ lodge
pole pine, nor does II take preservav-
tive treatment as well, but Il grows
farther south, and in many districts
is the only local timber available
for pole use.

visions broke hog prices last week,

provisions at this time are illogical,
as much cured meat will be needed in
operations against Mexico. particu-
larly in the Army. as the Navy is the
only branch Of the service that can
use fresh meats to advantage. Re-
ceipts are 1000 today. and the month
