RICARDO Lieutenant John W. Collier, of the territorial mounted police procured a search

warrant

from Vaughn

_{the latter}

p.--t _{of last}

Levi Goodson, Mills and Tom Drake were suspected of the

theft

and taken to Vaughn where they were tried on the charge of breaking into the house of Mrs. Shepard, Mills and Drake.

The defendants were dncharg-e-d

and Goodson was held overto the action of the grand

INVESTIGATING THE EXPRESS COMPANIES Washington,--_D.

_{C, July}

_18.-_-It

isnews to most people

that

the

Interstate

Commerce

Com-mission has undertaken

the

in-vestigation of the express com-panies. The announcement

that

thispolicy has

just

been decided on is misleading, for

the

Com-mission has had men in

the

field for months making a searching inquiry into the business meth ods of

the

companies. As a result of this investigation it is believed,

the

carriers under

in-vestigation filed new schedules which are probably intended to meet some of the more serious complaints regarding

the

man ner of conducting the express business.

It

has been contend-ed for a long time

that

the

ex-press monopoly was making

ex-cessive profits.

It

v,ill

gratify

the public

if

something can be done to insure more equitable charges for service and

better

protection to the customers of the companies.

.-The center of population of the United States is 4 2 miles south

of Unionville, Monroe county, Indiana, according to

DEEDS GIVEN OUT

EVERYBODY HAPPY TO GET TITLE TO THEIB LOTS Af TLB THE LONGWAIT

Those who have waited more or less patiently for the past four years were rewarded Tues-day by receiving deeds totheir lots.

There have been many

squab-bles over

the

government lown-sit- e

but

at

lastall seems happily settled.

J. O. Welborn, acting for Pro-bate Judge Lucas Romo, has been busy all this week dis tributing the deeds

to

the lot claimants. There have been some few mistakes,

but

on the whole everyone ought to be

sat-isfied.

Now we may expect to see some good buildings goupand the numerous shacks done away with.

Also we hopeto see

the

people get together and organise for civil improvement, a commercial club and many other things for the betterment of

Ft.

Sumner and the surrounding country. The town should incorporate, streets should be cleaned, all! abuses stopped; our citizens must pull together and in twelve months time make Fort Sumner the model city on the Cut-of- f.

It

is maintained by those who have tried it

that

greater results can be obtained from a given amount of water

than

under the old method of surface irrigation.

largest

_that

method of moisten-ing the ground for

fruit

grow-ing purposes. While

is not new in this country, having been tried in

a

number of states, it isnew inTexas and appears to be meeting with

pop-ular favor. Santa Fe New

The Ft. Sumner baseball team started out this week tomake a reputation in

a

series

of

games with Roswell, Carlsbad andAr-tesi- a.

They arebooked for nine games

at

these towns

and

every local fan expects them to "bring home the bacon." ManagerE.E. Crutchfield was detained home on business until later and Tom Perkins isacting in his place.

The team is composed of the following: Perkins, Burt,

Simp-son, Hunter, Hornberger, Maup-i-n,

Withes,

Freeman, Anaya and Foor.

We are allholding our breath, anxiously waiting the list of causualities.

According to figures received, the deaths from the plague in India have reached the enormous total ofG50,G0Ofor the

half

year endedJune, 30.

The disease has taken such a hold on

_that

country

that

its rav-ages are little heard

of

except through the occasional official statistics.

The hardest efforts to stamp

it

out have failed, and

they

have notbeen able to effect

any

per-manent improvements.

SANTA FE TO

SINK

TrST

WELL The Santa Fe railway com-pany shipped ina heavy well

rig

and several hundred feet

of

12 inch casing Thursday prepara-tory to starting work on

_the

long

calked of

test

well

at

this point. Tho company's water supply

at

1hispoint has been inadequate

for the past year, and

getting

moreso all the time, with

the

in-creased traffic. They haul water from here to nearly all points west as far as Vaughn. The com pany has a number of wells here 30

feet

deep and 12 _{foot in} cir-cumference which are fed from the underflow from Sunnyside springs and when rains have been scarce this supply has been woefully short. In fact

the

big

tank

has been full this

last

week for the first time in several months. Oldtimers in

the

val-ley, who claim to know what they pre talking about are fever-ishly awaiting results on this well, as all predict an

ar.er,k;

flow

at

a depth of from 50 to 800feet.

An abundant water supply here would not only assure

tr?

building of the Las Vegas

cut-off and other railroad improve-ments, but would also mean irri-gation from artesian wells and thus save the river

water

for more land in the valley.

STOPPING CUSTOMS LEAK

For many years, according

ta

the customsofficials, the govern-ment has been loosing lirtre sums ofmoney annually because the importers ofSicilian lemor.f. did not pay dutyon all the sound fruit,they imported. When

Co-llector Loeb discovered

this

leak the authorities pet about

the

making of regulations which wouldstop the leak. They

final-lydecided tobase the amount óf rotten fruit, (on which customs duties are remitted), on

the

sam-ples shown by the importers to the trade. The Secretary of the Treasury approved thisplan", bui the importer? protested

that

it was not fair. "Why

not?"

ask-edSecretary McVeagh. The

im-porters could make no satisfac-tory reply, sothe order

stands,

and

the

government will save much money.

CANTALOUPE GROWERS GET TOGETHER

TWO ASSOCIATIONS TO SHIP

FROM SAME BUILDING

The quarrel which for months

has

existed between the two sets of cantaloupe growers came to afinal settlement Wednesday morning when G. C. Stark weather General Superintendant,

J.

E. McMahon Superintendant, and J. Brinker General Agent of the Eastern Railway of New Mexico, stopped here for several hours to make final settlement with the farmers in regard to a shipping shed which is soon to be built

at

this point for the

of the melon grow-ers.

The meeting lasted for about

three

hours and was a most

in-teresting one as each man was allowedtogive his opinion and

for

a while the merry crowd was kept quite busy listening

to

the

best

debators, nevertheless they all gotdown to business and the

granting

of a shed by the Santa Fe was given, giving the honor of a lessee to Mr. O. B, Earick-

-son.

Now Ft. Sumner will be placed on themap and will be no hard

matter

to find the hidden trea sures which

the

farmer is about to disco er.

GAME PROTECTION The Department of

Agricul-ture

has made careful estimates of the number of deer killed last season, and

it

announces

that

in 22 States for which statistics are ..available

the.

bag was 60,150 deer.' No estimate was made

for

California and some other States, such as New Hampshire North and South Carolina, no statistics were available.

Mak-ing

fair allowances for such States, the number of deerkilled in the United States last year is estimated

at

75,000. to 80.000 The number of elk killed isput

at

2,000, or less, and

of

moose 3,050.

Congress has decided to make an investigation of the business of

the great

Express Companies with a view to establishing

a

parcel post in connection with the post officedepartment. The Express Companies have filed new

rates

with the

Interstate

Commerce Commission, greatly reducing the former rates of transportation. This shows

that

they are reducing the former

rates

of transportation. This shows

that

they are afraid of a parcel post. Congressmen and Senators have been receiving many strong letters from their constituents from all parts of the country urging them to pass the parcel postbill, and itis not believed

that it

will be very much longer before such will be done. We

are

far

behind European countries which have had parcel posts for many years.

July 18th, 1911.--Work on one of the largest single span

up-lift bridges ever tobe construct-ed has been started by the Southern Pacific Company in San Pedro harbor, California. The length of the bridge is 187 and one half feet. The bridge will carry a double track and will beoperated by electric

pow-er, capable of lifting tha ponder-ousmass of steel infiftyseconds, affording a clear channel of 185 feet for the passage of boat traffic.

The new bridge is what is known as the Strauss tr.unnion type, differing from the Bascule bridge of the Salt LakeRailroad, also at San Pedro, in

that

the latter islifted on a rocker, while the Southern Pacific bridge will be lifted on a tail pin or hinge.

It

is also to be double tracked. A latch operated by a motorwill hold the bridge in placs when it is down. This new bridge will replace the present Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric tres-tle bridges.

The Southern Pacific Company made application to the War

De-partment a year ago for permis-sion to build this bridge, which was granted on the first of

Dec-ember, last, on condition

that

thé structure would be complet-ed within a year. The Southern Pacific engineers have been work-ingallof these months in mak-ing tests for pier foundations and studying the various designs of bridges. Test wells bored to a depth of100feet found noth-ingmore solid in the harbor bed than sand. .Three cofferdams

are now being constructed. They will be bound witli concrete and sunk to a depth of eighty feet

after which

pijes will be driven to a depth of eighty feet.

The Santa Fe New Mexican says:

One of the most certain of proofs

that

the United

States

is' prospering under the

Taft

ad-ministration as it never prosper-ed before, even though money for development is difficult to

se-cure on account of socialistic agi-tation and Democratic tariff tink-ering, is the

fact that

during the past eleven mouths theconsnmp-tio-n

of beer has increased 6.872,-53- 4

barrels or6.21 per cent and of distilled spirits to the amount of$7,433,880 or 5 66 per cent. A nation

that

consumes56,308,-45- 8

barrels of beer and $146,973,-93-6

worth of distilled spirits in eleven months can not complain about hard times or increase of poverty.

The Santa Fe New Mexicanis

right

by saying:

It

is not only the sheepman and the wool

in-dustry

that

are about to be ruin-ed by Democratic tariff tinker-ing but Louisiana sugar, growers testified before the Congression-- . al Committee this week,

that

the reduction of

the

tariff on sugar would effect adversely two

mil-lion people in Texas and Louisi-ana and would wipe out an

in-dustry

that

is growing rapidly.

Complaints are rifeof decreased

States their numbers have decreased
