OF the colonel how long he could hold
his position. i
Until / am mustered out!" Fun
ston replied; and he made good by re-
pulsing the F%ilipinos.
When the volunteers were dis
charged, Funston retained his rank
as a member of the regular army. AS
a regular he made a mark by main
tanning order in San Francisco during
the disaster Of 1906. Temporarily in
charge of the troops at the Preside,
when the disturbance came, he quick
.ly declared martial law and set about
obtaining accommodations for the
homeless, keeping down the cost OF
food and arresting trouble-makers. It
was while he was in command Of the
troops at Vera Cruz in 1914 that he
was raised to the rank OF major-gen-
eral. He then was 40 years old.
The ambition of .Funston's youth
was to go to West Point, but he ia
ed in an entrance examination. In
later years he repeatedly outranked
West Pointers who were in school
when he failed Of admission,
physically, Funston was N Of the
smallest men in the United States
army. He was barely five feet and
five inches tall and usually weighed
less than 100 pounds. In civil life he
was modest and retiring.

HEAVY SNOWFALL
IN ESTAAC|A VALLEY
(By speoial correspondents

Estancia, N. M, Feb. 17.-There is
joy in a multitude of homes in the
Estancia Valley at this time. Per
haps ten inches of snow has fallen
here during the last few days; falling,
melting and falling again. At this
writing snow continues to fall, with
five inches on the ground at Estan-
cha. The depth Of snow increases
toward the mountains. This practi-
cally insures the farmers a good bean
crop this year. Instead Of a $400, 900
crop as last year, it is easy to predict
a 100000 crop for this year, If con.
ditions continue at all favorable, as
many who have given little attention
to beans previously will put in large
crops this year. Prices, which had
slumped for a time, have come up
again and beans are selling for $3.50
the hundred. Homesteaders continue
to flock in and the land in this valley
is being rapidly taken and occupied.
