OPPOSED ID DAY.
 LIGHT SAVING

New York, Jan. 16-Residents of Alaska are opposed to the daylight saving plan. The New York daylight saving committee, which is urging the adoption of the plan in this country, made public today the fol- lowinv letter from the secretary of the Skagway Commercial club of Skagway, Alaska:
 "I regret to inform you that the residents of Skagway could not pos sibIy cooperate with you in this movement from the fact that we would prefer to turn the clock back in ihe summer time, remembering that in the summer we have all day all night, with afew minutes at midnight that is called dawn.
 "Residents in the northerly part of the Yukon report that there is so much daylight there that it is necessary to blindfold the chickens so they may go to roost."

This sort of extensive farming is
being carried out also in MANY other

large tracts of land by the aid OF
tractors and gang plows for the SOW
ing of small grain and forage crops
On the farms east of Taylor Springs
several large tracts have been plow-

the meager results obtained in some

than has been followed heretofore

ut is better to be born lucky thaa

Some people go hunting and never
get even a rabbit while real deer
come and commit suicide in others
dooryards.
On Friday last, John Luther Of
Flora Vista was harvesting his
team in the stable yard when he no.
ticed a commotion among the hor-
ses in the pasture. A young deer
came bounding across the ranch
and disappeared in the lower part
of the orchard. A few minutes later
Tohn drove around the corner On
his way towards the store, and
when he reached the bridge cros-
sing the arroyo south Of the NJ. E.
Church the deer leaped down into
the arroyo and then apparently be-
wildered attempted to leap out agais.
Striking the barbwire fence above
it was hurled about twenty feet
away and lay still. When John got
down to where it was he found 4
had broken it's neck but was stili
breathing. Promptly cutting it,
throat, he was able shortly to load
its carcass into the wagon which
was SO conveniently there.
This story may seem stranger
than Judge Palmer's lobo adventure,

for it, while the judge hasn't even
a bite.

The Belle Land and Development
Company a Colorado corporation,
which has been operating a tele-
phone system in the northern part
of Rio Arriba county, for a number
of years with its principal office at
Chama, is now making some very
important extensions of its lines.
A new line is being run from the
present terminal point at Abiquiu

will make direct connection with the
Mountain States lines to Santa Fe
a branch line will be extended from

is now at work on the lines and it
is expected that the work will be
completed before long. In addition
to the exchange now operating at
Chama the company will establish an

PACKING AND STORAGE
PLANT MAKING HEADWAi

During the past few DAYS +. c
Ger cG'Ct, who has Just completed the
construction of an $85,00 pac' me
ard storage plant at Pocate'la, Ore
lY'n. has been in the city in CON
ference with VIM. Gregg, relative to
the construction or a similar plant
here.
Mr.. Gregg recently organized the
Santa Fe Produce and Cold Storage
company the object of which is to
erect a plant of that kind.
Investigation has shown that local
sheep, hog, and cattle ~raisers are
ANXIOUS to sell to local packers if
the opportunity is provided and that
farmers wish to increase their
present earnings by raising more
alfalfa and peas if the same can
be utilized on the ground finishing
a few porkers, lambs, or beeves for
local buyers. This applies parti-
c%ularly to local men who are not
prepared to feed as many as a car
load to begin with.
No healthier or better meat is pro-
duced than that of New Mexico and it
is high time the stockraisers, feeders,
butchers. and local merchants. who
hardle meats of any kind, got to-
gether for their mutual benefit and
cut out the freight from here to
Chicago and back again and the pro-
fit of the buyer, the feeder, the
packer and the wholesaler to the
benefit of the people within the
state.
Here in Santa Fe Approximately
$50n,000 worth of meat products are
said to be consumed annually. Five
statesmen visit the city regularly
every week to sell these articles for
some thirty cents per pound, to the
neighbors of those who produced
them in the first instance, and
thought they were robbing some
body when they sold their sheep
and cattle for 8 or 10 cents per
pound.
Santa Fe as a consumer is a mighty
small corner of New Mexico so the
opportunities Of the people of this
to make the difference bet.
ween the price of meat in the pig
or steer and the same meat on the
block are limitless.

Electrician. Hold Meeting

The New Mexico Electrical Associa-
ton opened its third annual onven
tion at Albuquerque Monday at the
Commercial Club. M. l.. Fox made
the address of welcome, and E. F.

and Manufacturing company of FL
Paso, responded.
Mr.. Fox dwelt on the Importance
of electricity. He told his hearers
that electricity was only in its in
facy and that few really knew what
electricity was.
Mr.. Sells, in his response said in
proportion to its population, New
Mexico was doing as much if not
more in the Advancement of eiectrici-
ty than any other state.
w. P. Southland told the members
of the association that it was not
their purpose to increase the rates,
but to increase their business
through logical advertising and by
gaining the confidence of the pub
Tic. He believed that FL Paso should
be brought into the association be-
cause of its nearness to this terri
tory.

Pinon Nut Production.

The demand for pinons is con-
s~tantly growing and this year the
shipment east of pinons exceeded the
shipments of previous years by
hundreds of thousands of pounds. J.
Agrees of a New York firm bought
by far the largest part of this years
crop his total purchases in the
southwest amounting to more than
l 100000 pounds. He made large
purchases here, in Arizona, Colora-
do and northern Chihuahua. Not less
than $1,000 pounds of the nuts were
purchased through Gallup.
This wholesale purchase Of pin
ons gave Agrees and his firm pract-
icat control of the market for this
years crop. The pinons that are
produced in the country tributary to
Gallup are said to be the best on
the market. .
Mr.. Agrees was in this city Mon
day on his way to California. 1t is
possible that his firm will go into
market after other products of this
part of the country in the near
future.-Gallup Herald.

WHEN STARS ARE IN THE

When stars are in the quiet skies.
Then most I pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes.
As stars look on the seal
For thoughts, like waves that glide

Are "stillest when they shine;
Mine earthly love lies hushed i'll
light
Beneath the heaven of thine.
There is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are wrapped
sleep
Sweet spirit meet me thenl
There is an hour when hoy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide;
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shouldst be by my side.
My thoughts of thee too sacred are
For daylight's common beam;
can but know thee as my star,
My angel. and my dream;
When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most | pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes,
As stars look on the sea!

wasted. He wants commission form

people could do better. Perhaps
they could, but that would not be

tive form of government. Mr.. Bryan
further says that the capitol building
is a play ground for seventy four
men. If Mr.. Bryan wants to get
mad and stop playing in the states
