men, etc.
The chief industry is fishing, in
which several wholesale firms
with 300 or more men are engaged,
Capital invested in the business is
| estimated at over 100000 and
large shipments Of fish ON ice are
made almost daily during the fish
ing seasons. The bulk of the fish
shipped are mullet but many
pompano, Spanish mackerel, bass,
trout, sheep-head, snapper and
other fine food fish are shipped.
The oyster business is small.
Next to fishing, the cultivation
of fancy pineapples engages most
attention, as the profits of this in
dustry often reach $500 an acre.
1t requires about 81 500 to prop
erly prepare and plant an acre in
pineapples, but after this, 5000 a
year would cover the cost of Gull
tivatioin. The plants bear in
twelve to eighteen months after
planting, and continue to bear an
nually thereafter without replant-
ing for five or six years.
Truck farming is an industry
yet in its infancy and offering
good returns on intelligent and
well directed efforts. Profitable
and easy crops to raise are sweet
potatoes, Irish potatoes and sugar
cane, which pay $3.50 to $500 per
acre.
Oranges, grapefruit, lemons
and lines are successfully grown;
so are some other fruits of lesser
note.
Prices of town lots and of !
lands out of town vary so greatly
that it is impracticable to give
quotations here, but almost any
me who does not expect to find
n a new and sparsely settled
country like this, the improve
nents and conveniences of Ohio
nd Massachusetts, can find here
omething to suit him in price and
whether he wishes i'm
'roved or unimproved property.
The town government consists
f a mayor, marshal, five alder
len, clerk, collector and assessor,
nd treasurer, The chief streets
re being paved with asphalt and

JAPANESE Ruddhists,

japanese Buddhists have a word,
"nazoraeru," which is translated by
the dictionaries as "to initiate" but
it has the esoteric meaning of "to
substitute in imagination one OBJ
ject or action for another, so as to
bring about some magical or mirac-
ulous result" An example of this
is laying a pebble before the image
of Buddha to show that you would
like to build temple in his honor
if ysu were rich enough and MAX
ing a bookcase revolve which con-
tains the CYL volumes of the Bud
dhist canon and earnestly wishing
that you had time to read them, by
which you acquire the sarre merit
in the eyes of heaven as if you did
read them.

FOR RE-NOMINATION

The several thousand friends of
H. j. McGrath in this section were
pleased this week when formal an
nouncement was made that he
would be a candidate for renom-
jnatiOn for the office of Sheriff on
the Democratic ticket.
It is needless for any person in
Grant county TO be informed of
the efficiency of Mr.. McGrath in
his capacity of Sheriff. A clear
record speaks for itself.
Being a resident of southern
Grant county and especially ia
miliar with the country surround
ing his home and down to the
Mexico border. he will be one of
the strongest candidates on the
Democratic ticket. AS a business
man Mr.. McGrath has been most
successful, and a business head
is needed in the office of sheriff.
Southern Grant county has en-
couraged Sheriff McGrath to be
a candidate for denomination, and
the Democrats stand ready to a
man to support him.

ed away with the game Sunday
afternoon whereby the Espee base
ballists were opponents. The fin
al tab was 6 and 3, the locals car
rying off the big number. The
game was the best yet played on
the Lordsburg lot and gave the
fans something to talk about un-
til the middle of the week. Ev-

McMeans had to his credit four
teen strikeouts and played an all
around good game. Dean was not
far behind and gave a good exhi-
bition. With heavier support he
would have stood better chances
of winning the game.

was held up by some rummie who
took the score book back to Tucson

DEAN ALEXANDER
FOR TREASURER

The Western Liberal this week
carries the first of of its political
announcements, being that of
Dean Alexander for treasurer and
collector, subject to the approval
of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Alexander is especially quail
fled for this position, having been
connected with the office faithful
ly for a number of years. In speak
ing of his candidacy Mr.. Alexan-
der says: 81 am out for the NOM
ination for the reason that | be-
lieve that | am entitled to promo
tion, having more than served my
apprenticeship. There is no need
of my telling that if elected the
office will receive my undivided
attention. and am sure that | am
the only one of the prospective
candidates that intends to pursue
that course. Also | believe that
can serve the public a great deal
better by having the office myself
than by working as a deputy.
Many people in southern Grant
county have expressed their de-
light At the announcement of Mr.
Alexander, believing him to be eff
ficient and the man for the office,
besides being strong factor on
the Democratic ticket.
