cordingly controlled

It was but human nature that it should

No one could wonder thul civil war had

It whs part of the almost universal de-
moralization produced by the war that
every sentiment should now exhibit its ex-
cess every reaction prove dangerously vio-
lent. There was everywhere a sort of moral
exhaustion; a relaxation of the very prin-
ciples of just and temperate government
which the war had beln fought to vindi-
cate; a loss of tone an uect-sH of perilous
agitation. .
The war hud brought many things in Its
train calculated to work distress and to
throw both morals and business into con-
tusion. Pot tine thing. It hud saddle. 1 the
couptry with an almost Incalculable bur

ThS Mtates anil the congress alike had
resorted to the demoralising expedient of
issuing paper mpneV which they -Miuld not

from year to year and Its value had

The continental money in particular had
fallen so In value that the commodity must
have been valueless indeed which fell under
the reproach of being "not worth a contl

What They Say Briefly Stated.
"You certainly have a splendid city In
El Paso and I am sure I shall find many
Interesting things to write about." declored
Miss Eva Brown of Austin Texas a stu
dent of the státe school of Journalism
conducted In connection with the Univer-
sity of Teyss who is interested in getting
material for a series of articles she will
write covering the history of El Paso and
its environs.
We are going to sink a test well on my
brother's ranch six and a half miles from
Columbus. N. M.." said Miss Mary Ander-
non a teacher of the Columbus schools
who was in El Paso Wednesday and who
ailed at the Chamber of Commerce to ex
hibit some samples of heavy parafflne oil
which had seeped up through the earth
and which she had collected In bottles.
My brother J. H. Anderson Is organizing
company arid expects to begin actual
drilling operations in a few weeks."
'An interesting feature of the El Paso
alth Week ohscrvonco." said a member
of the Equal Suffrage league "will be a
lecture by a prominent local physician ac-
companied by an actual demonstration of
In i aid to the Injured methods.' Nurses.
ttendanCS upon the baby show will be
I oa subjects in these demonstrations.
anil the lecture promises to be one of the
most valuable and Interesting ever heard
In 'Hils city."

revived that concern nnd the sinking
has been resumed. The well Is down I-
20(i f. et and it is planned to sink It to a
depth of at least 3000 feet unless oil Is
struck sooner. An Oklahoma man Is doing
the drilling and believes there is a fine
prospect for oil.
Portales N. M. is now sure of a fine
Oraamery plant as a company has been
orgnnlzed for the purpose of putting in a
first -class plant at that point which is
composed of some of the most solid nnd
substantial men of that section. It Is also
understood that an Ice factory wljl at once
he organized along similar lines.
The Panhandle fair which will open at
Amarillo Texas on September 21 promises
to be an Unqualified success In every fea-
ture. The following Panhandle counties
have already made arrangements for ex-
hibits: Roberts; Gray Hemphill Lips-
comb Lubbock Crosby Deaf Smith and
l'iilmer. and others will take similar action
It being confidently expected that fully
twenty-five counties will be reiprescntcd
when the fair opens.
It Is said thnt when the New .Cornelia
mine located' In the Ajo mountains of
Arizona begias operations on a large scale
Papago Indians will he given employment
in 'large numbers. The. work for a long
t)me will be on the surface and very warm
a ml the Indians are well adapted to this
kind of labor. A new railway is being
built from Glln Bend to the mine.
The alfalfa seed crop is now being har-
vested in the vicinity of Chandler Ariz.
and seed Is selling at 13 cents per pound.
The crop will be harvested from 1.500
acres of alfalfa and as the yield is about
200 pounds to the acre it will bring the
growers the handsome sum of about
$40000. which is equivalent to about two
cuttings of the long green.
The West Texas water show to be held
at Sweetwater. Texas On September 7 and
8. Is attracting much attention and the
agricultural exhibit In connection there-
with will be something usjique. The agri-
cultural building will be constructed en-
tirely of Nolan county products and inside
the structure will be a handsome display
of all the products of that section..
W. W. Slate and C. F. Henry have leased
several thousand acres of land in Quay and
Boosevelt counties In eastern New Mexico
and will at once begin drilling In search of
oil. These people have had considerable
experience in the Ok'ahorna. oil fields and
announce their intention of drilling 2000
feet If necessary to test the possibility
of oil.

Clayton doesn't boom It grows and Its
growth Is backed by Intelligent and con-
servative business men. Anyone can read-
ily realise that this country has "arrived."
Just take a look at the wonderful crops
and the thousands of sleek and fat cattle
and sheep throughout Union county.
Clayton N. M. News.
All of eastern New Mexico Is enjoying
an era of progress and development which
Is the greatest in Its history. Clayton gives
promise of becoming one of the leading
cities of that section
Oreat Britain wants to buy one million
head of cattle to be delivered in Liverpool
as early as possible. To fill this order will
mean something near $100000000 In the
pockets of American cattlemen who are
already enjoying prosperity. But it will
also mean stripping the ranges of beef
(Ariz.) Dispatch.
The shipment of such a quantity of
American beef cattle to England at this
time would certainly mean higher prices
for the American consumer. But the pro-
ducer has the right to sell his product to
the very best possible advantage.
General Venustlano Carranza first chief
of the constitutionalists etc. has now cap-
tured the Mexican capital four times. His
ability to take cities is only equaled by his
facility in evacuating them. Tucson
(Ariz.) Star.
Carranza has always kept his capital
and his government on wheels and it has
not been difficult to set the wheels to roll-
ing when the exigencies of the situation
has seemed to demand such action.
The Balkan League must soon put Itself
on one side or the other of the fence or
It will be violently knocked off on the side
of the allies. The state of indecision can-
not he maintained at Sofia and Bucharest
much longer. Phoenix (Ariz.) Republican.
The Balkan states must first adjust their
own differences before they can take one
side or-the other. And they have had suf-
ficient war among themselves to take some
of the war pep out of them.
Southern California's first woolen mill
has commenced operations. California
can produce other things than fruits and
native sons. Douglas tArlz".) Dispatch.
Southern California is making no mista!;-
in turning toward manufacturing de-
velopment. The development of smoke-
stacks Is one of the surest evidences of
progress and prosperity.
If the Russians keep on making "strategic
retreats" at this rate they will eventually
lure the Germans clear to Manchuria
And then maybe the Jap will lick their
enemy for them. Can that be the real pur-
pose of Russian strategy? Bisbee (Ariz.)
Review.
The Russians are steadily retreating be
cause they are no match for the German
and Austrian forces. It looks as If the
retreat will continue Just aa long as the
Germans are inclined to pursue.
Lets vote bonds and build some real
roads for this county every county around
us Is doing so. Fort Davis (Texaa) Post.
Real rals is the correct Idea. There
has already been too much money spent In
building roads that prove only of a tern
porary character in every portion of the
great Southwest.
The question of "better babies" seems to
be causing a deal of worry out In El Paso
Why don't the worried ones consult Major
Bill Fewell? Houston (Tex.) State Topics.
A very timely and pertinent suggestion
but as the major has been absent nearly
all the summer his services in this respect
have not been available.
Two cars of alfalfa seed 60000 pounds
have been shipped and another is sched
uled to leave this week making a total of
about 90000 pounds shipped which was
sold at 14 cents a pound f. o. b. Fort
Stockton. These three cars brought' the
producers $12600. There l.s yet over 1000
acres to cut and thresh which it Is esti-
mated will yield from three to five more
carloads of seed. Fort Stockton (Texas)
