worth the price to have health.
 Artesia, New Mexico, is town of about fifteen hundred popuia- tion; was built in a hurry. Just sprang up. On account of the in- troduction of the Artesian wells, whereby the fertile valley of the Pecos river became productive through irrigation, and later the wells failed to flow of their own accord and pumping them became necessary, the town took down fall, and there are many vacant houses here. However, there is now an oil boom on that bids fair to give the town a new start, but up to this time house rent is very cheap, and good ones, at that
 I have made one trip of inspec' tion through the oil fields and will say that they are running some very fine alfalfa farms in drying to locate oil. I saw some of the prettiest farms I ever saw, mostly in alfalfa the staple crop which they harvest four and five times each year, and which now sells here for $21.00 per ton, an eighty acre farm producing as high as six to ten thousand dollars per year.
 This is certainly hot, dry and dusty country It has not rained enough since we landed here the 9th day of last December to SOW turnips back in Arkansas. The days are hot even in winter, though the nights are always cool and pleasant.
 I wish further to say to my friends there that while in office I tried to make an efficient and courteous officer and in trying to do so I worked too diligently. Stay ing too close to work, my health gave way, which l trust will soon be fully regained, and l do thank one and all for the many kindly favors shown me in the past. say all, for I never tried to make an enemy intentionally Hoping to again see many of my friends there, and assuring any that may care to write me at any time that it will be greatly appreciated, l am, Yours very truly,

SENATE COMMITTEE FAVORABLY REPORTS BILL APPR0PRIATINC
 VAST SUM FOR AERIAL FLEETS

Washington, July 17-A huge American air fleet is nearer reality today than at any time during the past few weeks becoming almost certainty when the senate committee reported out with favorable recom- mendatons bill appropriating $40 million dollars for airplahe construction Competent naval critics have as sured the administration and members of the cabinet that the European war can be speedily by the crea
 ton of an air fleet sufficiently strong to drive the Ger man flers to ground. At the time comes informal
 ton from Berlin by indirect route that thousands of trained mechanical experts in Germany who for the past few years have been engaged in Zeppelin construction have had their work of this craft virtually discard ed diverted to the construction of airships.

 It was put in evidence that the game warden had demonstrated with Varney for maintaining fish traps and for selling fish. Donaldson tes- tifide that Varney had threatened to "sink him in the St. Francis, '' and that he (Donaldson) had been warned to stay away from that place.
 The cases were tried before iu- ries and the accused was fined $25 and $10 respectively in the two cases, the cost in each case amounting to about $25. Varney gave notice that he would appeal the cases to the circuit court.
