Dr.. Francis Church Lincoln of the
mining department OF the university is
building up the mining library so that
1t will contain a valuable fund OF ref
erence material for students, visiting
engineers and mining men. He has
recently received a large shipment OF
the old files of the Engineering and
Mining World. dating back as far as
the '70's. The magazine Is the oldest
and most distinguished OF the mining
journals, and it is hoped that the com.
plete file, from the time of establish.
ment during the Civil War; may be
secured. Robert H. Richards, profes.
sor emeritus of the Boston Institute OF
Technology, Is interested in helping
DR.. Lincoln to secure this file. The
, complete file of several of the techni
cal journals is at the mining library
located in the Mackay School Of Mines
and these as well as reference works
, are available for use at any time.

PRESIDENT WILSON
AND THE LUCKY FARMER.

THE present is the first administra'
ton that has made determined effort
TO show the farmer how TO get salts
factory prices for his harvests. For.
mer administrations have shown the
farmer how TO fight the boil weeyil.
the chinch bug, the army worm and
other insect pests. But this is the
first administration that has dared to
make common cause with the farmer
against the usurer, the transportation
shark. the fake middle man. and the
other human pests who in the past
have grown rich on the produce of the
farmers toll.
with these things accomplished in
little more than three years, after
twenty years of weary waiting, the
road to greater freedom is not back
ward to the old order but forward,
holding steadfast to these friends who
have proved true."-The Farmers
Open Forum.

SOME DEMOCRATIC

With such a candidate as President

Republican paper of the Middle West,

RICH IRRIGATED
FARM CLOSE To
CITY IS SOLD
Capt, W, H, Clearwater Dis
poses of Splendid Farm
Near Old Town to Retired
R, |, Physician.

What is popularity known as the
'Gillonwater farm probably the
richest irrigated tract Of central New
Mexieo---was sold yesterday to the Al
varado Farm corporation, headed by
Dr. Brown, retired physician OF
Providence, r, I.
The farm of about 600 acres repre-
sents decade of work by Capt. w
"A. Glllenwater. who began more than
ten years ago to buy up small tracts,
then for sale in the valley at low
prices. AS the land was bought ii was
put under high state of cultivation,
more than $500 acres of stable ma
nure being hauled on it from the city
in one year alone, and more than
5000 loads altogether,
The farmhouse is one mile north
of Old Town. but part of it is less
than a mile from the corporate limits
beginning, the chief crop has been
alfalfa, but trucking and poultry have
also been important features. The
alfalfa production was one Of the
largest in all New Mexico the yield
having been brought up until it was
fully fifty per cent greater than that
OF the average Rio Grande valley
ranch.
Captain CLEARWATER will make his
headquarters in Albuquerque, but will
devote his time hereafter to the ham
ding Of electric light and power
plants, il being understood that he
has made important eastern conncc-
tions for such promotion and opera
tons.
The amount paid for the ranch was
not disclosed, but 1t is known to run
