It's a soo'l thing occasionally to
know hat other ie.ilu think of you,
lii'tu-e tln following iirticle uti "The
Panhitmlle ami New Mexico," from
the Cucro Weekly Star, published nt
Cuoro, Texas, written by A. S. Crisp,
editor of that paper, who recently
paid this territory u visit, la of mark
ed interest. Mr. Crisp is a mem
ber of the .tate legislature of Texas
and one of her best newspaper men:
Now Mexico.
In a recent Issue the Star publish
er promised further mention of a trip
to New Mexico. We went up vii
Kort Worth and through the great
Panhandle country, daylight catching
us at Childress.. This is a division
point on the Forth Worth and Den
ver and quite an important little city.
The country is rapidly opening up in
farms, as is the whole section to
Amarillo. Home of this land Is black
rrairie, other a rich red soli and some
is sandy, but all seemingly good cot
ton land and Is a demonstarated suc
cess with small grain. Crowing fruit
trees looked very thrifty on all lands
also.
For some distance before Amarillo
is reachpd the altitude Is so great that
cotton growing Is not attempted. In
nuch countries as Oklahoma or Ar
kansas just us far north, and further,
cotton grows to perfection, showing
that it is not a matter of latitude,
but of altitude as the nights get too
cold for the plant. While the lands
are new and rich for the most part
In that section, yet we have a great
advantage of them in the regularity
and amount of rainfall and we be
lieve this Is the easier country to
make a living In save such classes as
want to speculate in the values of
real eftate.
11k" ranliandlc.
But It must be understood that this
great elevation precluding cotton cul
ture onvers inly q small portion of
the Panhandle. A herd of buffalo at
the Goodnight ranch Is one of the
natural objects of more than passing
Interest that may be seen from the
train, while another novel sight for
folks from our part of the state is
the number of great steam plows
with which ttiey break a large num
ber of furroughs at one passage of
the traction endue.
Except a little timber skirting a
few streams there is little or no wood
1n the Panhandle, coal being the uni
versal fuel In this fast growing sec
tion. Uetween Amarillo and Chnn
ning. some fifty or sixty miles, the
country is very broken, and that ad
jacent to the railroad at least Is tot
ally unfit for farming.
Beyond Channlng It levels off Into
A good stock country and continues
through most of New Mexico till
Trinidad, Colo., is reached, which Is
fourteen miles into the Centennial
fate and as far north as our Journey
carried us. Just this aide of the New
Mexico line at Texllne the soil Is
thinner than further down Into the
Panhandle.
Railroads Ieal
Railroads as usual are taking the
lead in the development of this great
Panhandle section and will In time
make a regular gridiron of It, there
being under construction now, tend
ing to its further opening up sev
eral Important lines and connections.
Amarillo Is quite a railroad center
and has something like ten thousand
Inhabitants. Much wholesaling and
quite a lot of manufacturing la done
there.
In the upper Panhandle country
the railroad runs for many miles
along the beds of the Red River and
the Canadian river in which there is
verv little water but great wide
stretches of sandy channel, with lit
tle or no banks In most places. The
scenic beauty and the fertility of the
Panhandle are great attractions In
Its behalf and when the rainfall gets
more reliable its agricultural possi
bilities will be well nigh limitless.
While Childress is far Into the
Panhandle from Fort Worth It still
requires almost the entire day to
reach Texline, as you get breakfast
at Childress and It Is about supper
time when the New Mexico border is
reached.
Stock raising and mining seem to
be the sole occupation of that portion
of New Mexico traversed by the Den--er
route and mining with some Irri
gated agriculture Is the support of
that section of Colorado around
Trinidad.
Mining Industry.
Great numbers of mining camps
surround Trinidad for miles In .each
direction. The Irrigated gardens de
rive their water from a stream called
Purgatory river, but dry farming Is
carcely attempted. Trinidad Is a
ftplendid little city of some ten thous
and or more inhabitants.
That section of New Mexico on the
Panta Fe and contiguous to Trinidad
is also considerably Interested In
mmlng. At the Baton mountains a
-onslderahle tunnel carries the track
over and for many miles southward
the country rises to a great elevation
and Is very mountainous and broken
the railway having to pick Its way
through as best It can. Until Olorie
Ih passed (the scene of the Civil war
battle) the country seems entirely
devoted to sheep and goats with no
agricultural possibilities.
The valley of the Bio Grande is
now soon encountered and Mexicans
and Indians have for centuries led
ditches from Its banks to produce
crops of forage and other vegetation
which would be Impossible without
auch mechanical application of mois
ture. The PhH1ok.
It might be noted that from where
the Santa Fe strikes the Bto Grande
above Albuquerque It keeps within
sight of the stream for most of sev
eral hundred miles distance to El
Paso.
For some miles before Albuquer
que Is reached Indian villages, some
of them hundreds of years old are
encountered, and come of them have
us much as a thousand Inhabitants.
They seem to be Industrious. Irrigate
their little farms and hive a few
m k. cut their alfalfa with reapers
and drive good horses and mules. Hut
they live in little mud bouses (adobe)
Because, of living in these little
little towns these Indians are called
Pueblo (Spanish word for town).
They are all Catholic In religion
from the occupancy of the country
l the .Spanish In the early days and
ench village has Its French priest.
They are monogamists and live In
simple, upright domestic relations, no
the knees si that they can conven
sant with their habits.
I'ncrgctic Indians.
They nlso have far more energy
than the average paleface ascribes to
the re, man In general, and make
excellent section hands along the
Panta Fe railway. But they will not
work except In groups and whenever
one quits under a real or supposed
grievance they nil lay down their
shovels.
In clress It Is sometimes difficult to
tell the sexes as they all have their
shawls or blankets and the women
wear white moccasins and ieggins to
the knees so that they can conceti
lently get about through the brush
and briars of the couilry. They are
nil great walkers, neither men or
women thinking anything of pitching
out for a walk of twenty or thirty
miles to the city.
They have none r.f the feirs that
bother white people, as women or
men will lay down on the nul l side
to sleep andi rest wherever fatiene or
darkness overtakes them. But the
government throws about these In
dians the same protection it does
everywhere .e in a very severe
penalty for selling them liquor In any
form.
(Junrrli-s of Stone.
Another feature of this part of
New Mexico which should be spoken
of Is the vast quarries of due build
ing material, white and red sand
stone which Is exhibited by the cut
ting of the railway track through
great stretches of hills through ns
tine building materials as man ever
reclaimed from the bosom of the
earth. The same quality of stone
(red) Is shown to magnificent advan
tage In some of the line buildings of
Albuquerque.
Albuquerque.
Our pen stopped at Albuquerque
in the former mention of our trip to
the northwest. In its commercial
and manufacturing aspects as well as
a health resort, Albuquerque is the
metropolis of both. New Mexico and
Arizona, having u population of
about twenty thousand and being a
sort or middle ground between Chi
cago and Los Angeles, where ends of
division and great railway shops
inane u tne nome and headquarters
or Hundreds or prosperous railroad
folks.
1 nisi was its chief start toward the
important euy it 13 today, and when
to this it has been made a great wool
market and one of the big lumber
points of the west its financial and
industrial supremacy was secure.
Albuquerque lies in the valley of
the Bio Grande as It divides in twain
the territory and the river is a much
more pretentious stream here than
where the Santa Fe first strikes It in
Its southern course. The town lies at
the foot of a success of great hills
"mesa," or table land, which over
look it from an eminence of some
hundred feet, and from this great
elevation the city water supply is ob
tained in wells and stored In an im
mense earthen reservoir which gives
all the pressure desired In the water
works for tire or the ordinary use of
water.
In llio Foothills.
This elevation Is really the foot
hills of mountains which Ho twelve
or fifteen miles beyond, but which
look to the naked eye in that clear
atmosphere to be only a few hun
dred yards distant. Through the
valley In which the city Is situated,
as well as up and down the river a
great deal of irrigation Is carried on.
ditches being led about with swift
flowing streams rushing boldly nbout
In all directions to finally find their
way back to the river.
Alfalfa Is far and uwny the prin
cipal crop, except an occasional good
patch of oats and the market gar
dens in the outskirts of the city
which seem to be in a highly flour
ishing conditions. Otherwise agricul
ture about the environs of Albuquer
que seem to be strictly an amateur
pastime.
The fact that the city lies so close
to the river and because of the shal
low depth to water on the river's
level and its consequent nearness to
the surface, causes all f'Srms of tree
life to flourish in the highest degree.
Its streets being lined with large and
beautiful cotton woods, silver maple

Beautiful Orchard.
Apples, pears, peaches and

a few-
other
fruit trees attain tine size and look
splendidly, but owing to mild winter
and late frost they nro bearing no
fruit this season.
The magnificent sidewalk trees, the
beautiful homes and yards and the
large electric car lines, and com
manding business buildings assure the
stranger at once that he Is within
the gates of a city which has the
right to herald Its Importance and
boast of its achievements.
Albuquerque has attained to a
postoftlce of first class with $4 0,000
postal receipts, having long en loved
the carriers. Long straight streets
with miles and miles of the most
substantial concrete paving, as well
as the viaduct which takes vou over
vast acres of railroad switches with
cars as thick as thev can stand
thereon, readily strengthen your Im
pressions of its claim to cltyhood.
laimlter ami Sheep.
Mining in this Immediate section
Is followed In a desultory sort of
way. but it Is railroading, sheep and
lumber that do the business. Ex
cepting Montana, no state equals New
Mexico In sheep raising, while train
loads of great pine trees brought in
dally from splendid forests nearby
keep perhaps a thousand men ns
busy ns bees.
Many of these trees measure more
than three feet In diameter ami saw
out the most beautiful planks and
timbers of different kinds. In the
saw mill proper an engine and boiler
with over six hundred horse power
(drive wheel twenty feet In diameter
and four feet wide) gives an Idea of
the power required.
Belt saws and moving machinery
deftly handle and switch the logs anil
planks and do the work of the place
:.s smoothly as if human hands had
performed It all. I'ifTerent widths,
lengths and grades are swiftly Hur
ried wherever desired and refuse Is
taken by conveyors to the furnaces
and the saw dust from the numerous

more to run several other engines Is

for the purpose and burned to pre

Parries in position to know in
formed us that the yard of this mill
had constantly stacked more 'ban
u million dollars worth of limber.
All over this yard ate trestle ways
as high as the first siory of the mill
so that the lumber can be more
easily and readily handled and so
that mud in bad weather cannot in

When the i.igs an first 'irought to
the mill they are thrown Into an
artificial lake supplied from the Itio
Grande Irrigation ditches and here
they are permitted to Mioroughly
soak, to ease the woik of the saws.

boxes go to Europe nnd we noticed
some marked for I)allas. San Antonio

the mill are made nnd forwarded In

I In ml ruc Buildings.
The concrete building block has
taken a firm hold in Albuquerque
and there are many beautiful houses
of the most approved architecture
constructed from this handy nnd
popular material. Concrete exteriors
ruch ns used In the Alvarado, the
great railway hotel extending several
blocks, is aNo much In evidence.
Two of the handsome buildings of
the place are the Commercial club
and the Elks' hall, the former built
In 1XM ami the latter later at n cost
of jso.min to the "Antlers." Every
facility for receptions. Information,
etc.. Is kept In the Commercial club,
while the Elks have a large and mag
nificent lodge room for themselves,
with lodge rooms for other orders.
banquet hall nnd skating rink which
they rent.
They also have .1 splendid opera
house for which their geographical
position attracts many of the best at
tractions of the American stage. This
building is immense in size and beau
tifully finished ami furnished. ue
of these buildings Is constructed of
native red sand stone and the other
of brown pressed bricks and both are
models of architecture nnd the build
ers' skill.
Banks nro Solid.

snould lie said r the great strength

New Mexico as well as Texas has
been changing some of her laws, so
the saloons open only the back doors
on Sunday, Gambling was formerly
licensed by the state at JITiO per
table. This has been repealed and
no more such permits will be Issued.
Those in force expire with this year
and the new statute will be effective

Albuquerque bis n number of
colleges and universities, not the
least Interesting of her schools being
a government institution for Indians
where more than Ave hundred boys
and girls nre taught saddlery, car
pentry, domestic arts, etc., In addi
tion to a liberal ncademlc course. In
the summer the boys go to Colorado
state from the school to assist In
gathering the crops from her irrigat
ed lands.
lVnving Albuquerque the Valley
of the Rio Grande furnishes but one
place In consequence till El Paso is
reached, nnd that Is Las Cruces,
where Irrigation is extensively prac
ticed. It seemed to have been a
long time since It rained In the ter
ritory and where the Rio Grande
was not turned over the land It pre
sented a very parched appearance. El
Paso Is a splendid bustling city, pos
sible 50 per cent larger than Albu
querque. Here for many miles the
Bio Grande river Is led out over a
pleasant valley making all nature
smile and producing about all of
verdure or vegetation In that region.
Where these ditches cense white
drifting sand almpst as barren as a
nock surfeits the view for scores of
miles, until It tapers off into the
beautiful black prairie lands thnt
mark the approach of Valentine, Jeff
Davis county. Here big northern
companies are buying up nnd ex
ploiting the country. introducing
steam plows with their traction en
gines. Before reaching Valentine a
fine herd of antelope was seen from
the car wlndyw grazing upon the
prairie.
On the Rancr.
But It had not rained for more than
seven months, the range was parched,
cattle were very poor, and reported
dying in some cases, and It made a
fellow long to get back to old Tie Witt
county, where all the lands nre not
quite so fertile or fresh, but where
a kind providence sends the early
and later rain and where the efforts
of the husbandman are commonly
followed by bounteous harvests.
Good land also obtains about Mar
fa nnd Alpine, but it was dry till the
country nbout lel Itio and t'valde
was reached. Here the range was
green and pretty from recent good
rains and crops In Kinney nnd I'val
de counties while backward, looked
healthy and promising. But to di
gress, it might be observed that the
country for many miles beyond Del
Itio Is rocks and very precipitous
seemingly designed for little else than
a vast waste of building material and
an indifferent goat ranch.

Kansas City. Mo., August 1. The
Western llockmuster probably Is the
wisest marketer in the live stock
trade. He has to deal with sheep,
tile class of stock subject to the most
violent price llueluatlons on the
market, and his experience has
taught him the lesson of patience
and bow to spend a few dollars In
order to save a hundred. He has not
only distance to overcome, but also
many times I awall the conven
ience of the railroads and unneces
sary delays, yet, taking his market
ing the year around he is the most
consistent ami nervy of all men who
market their stock on the hoof and In
large numbers.
1 '.astern Market Ioucr.
Prices of sheep the last three
weeks In the eastern markets haye
'been 60 to T.'i cents lower than In
Kansas City. Thousands of native
lambs In Chicago have gone over the
scales TiO to 73 cents below cost.
Louisville and Cincinnati markets,
at which points Kentucky and Ten
nessee rind an outlet for their sheep,
have been 75 cents to Jl lower than
here. Choice West Virginia lanubs
sold In Jersey City last week at
$7.25, as compared with $7.70 for
native lambs in Kansas City. Re
gardless of these prices the eastern
ers are rushing their lambs to mar
ket to be added to un already exces
sive supply.
Western sheep are not meeting
any reverse in prices. Chicago Is
still paying a slight margin over
Kansas City prices, but the western
er who, unfortunately, was on th-j
road to market when his less skilled
eastern brother started the market
downward by unwise marketing, had
his sheep sidetracked at some feed
ing point near a large market ami
will send In only a few carloads at n
time and, by constant marketing, will
nurse prices rather than demoralize
them.
Small Bci-clpts Here Ijist Week.
Iist week Kansas City received
only 13.800 sheep, yet that was due
to no shortage in the supply In this,
territory. More than twice that many
are In neafby feeding lots awaiting
the clearing of the eastern mutton
market. Of course the westerner
sometimes loses out y holding his
offerings, as feeding Is expensive, and
he is occasionally forced to throw
them on a ragged market, but he is
not willing to take chances with a
dilapidated demand before he has
tried a little doctoring by keeping
the offerings away.
The eastern markets generally
maintain a margin of 25 to 50 cents
over Kansas City. This represents
the difference in freight shrinkage,
but at the season of the year when
one eastern Ibx-k is ready to move
they all go at once and generally
break prices 75 cents to $1.25, while
the western ftockmaster generally
gets his sheep In condition and slides
Into the market in numbers more in
keeping with the demand. About ten
day9 ago 100 carloads of sheep from
Arizona and New Mexico were head
ed this way. but the unfavorable
market prospects have caused them to
disappear as completely as if they
had been swallowed, so far as the
trade Is concerned The owner 13

10 SHIELD FATHER
Solomonville, Ariz., Aug. 1. Not
withstanding the fact that he had
been released from the penltentiary
at iuma less than two months ago.
lobe Lavy is in a lair way to return
to that institution again almost im
mediately. Iicy s service was for cattle rustl
ing, and he Is now in Jail at .Solomon
ville charged with horse stealing.
The offense was committed in Gra
ham county, near Duncan.
The pluck of Lucy's 15-year-old
daughter nearly saved him from ar
rest. When the otllcers traced him
to his home she mounted a horse and
rode beside him until their horses
were exhausted.
She kept so near him In the mad
chase that the otllcers In pursuit
dared not shoot lest they kill her
also.
Her frail body, however, was un
equal to the task she had set for it
and after having kept herself be
tween her father and the otllcers for
a number of miles her strength gave
out and she was compelled to discon
tinue her protection and the otllcers
were then emubled to capture her
father.
