PACKING HOUSE AT HOME.
J. W. Scott a farmer living near
Denison. is a breeder of fine hogs. He
raises hogs for his own use and for
ihe market. He says he has a method
by which hogs bring him more money
man oiner people disks out oi ineirs.
His plan is to kill his hogs and cure
them before selling. In regard to
this way of disposing of his hogs he
said: "I find no trouble whatever in
saving hnm.s and bacon from year to
year and I believe every farmer in
north Texas should have his packing
house at home." said Mr. Scott. "The
farmer may as well raise his hogs
save his meat cut it himself make
his own lard and all that sort of thing
and next year sell his meat to those
who need it. as to sell his hogs to a
packing house for about half what the
meat will be worth to him next sum-
mer. I have never seen the time when
the farmers could not sell all the
meat they had on hand if they wanted
to. and get just as good a price for it
as a. packing house and I don't see
why it would not be a good business
for the farmer to cure his meats and
sell them next summer at from 10 to
15 cents a pound instead of selling
the bogs at 2V& to 3 cents. Of course
he will not have as much weight to
sell but he will get more than 8 cents
for his hogs."
JUDGE ALLEN REAPPOINTED.
Hon. A. . Allen judge of the crim
ina! district court for Harris and
Galveston counties received on the

priation of the bar - of both counties.
He is a young but strong lawyer and
his friends predict that if he remains
upon the bench he will win many lau
rels. Approximately he has disposed
of 1000 cases during his past term.
The members of the Harris and Gal
veston county barswere almost unani
mouely in favor of his reappointment.

NEW YEAR'S PARDONS.
Governor Otero issued two pardons
on Now Year's day. one of them being
in Jieu or the Christmas pardon which
ho did not issue this time on account
of beiug in Washington so near til
Christmas that he did not get itme to
thoroughly investigate the claims for
the Christmas pardons. The prisoners
pardoned are Mexicans. They are
Toribio Gutirrc-z. who has been in the
penitentiary fifteen years and has been
a good prisoner and Antonio Lucero
y Perea. who has also ben a good pris-
oner and whose work on the stone ma
sonry of the capitol some time ago
moved the capitol rebuilding board to
ask for his pardon out of the consid
eration for his valuable services at the
buildingof the capitol. Thev were
both serving long sentences for murder.
CLIMATE IS FATE."
One of the most interestine books on
New Mexico and its healthfulness is
Col. Jlax Frostss new book. ' Climate
Is Fate." it is full of information such
as health-seekers look for. and is writ-
ten in the excellent style which char-
acterizes all of Colonel Frost's writ-
ings. It is issued by the territorial
bureau of Immigration and is illus-
trated n such a manner as to give per-
sons abroad a good Idea of the many
nteresting features of life and occupa
tions tne scenery and physical geog-
raphy of New Mexico. It reflects great
credit upon the author and cannot
help being a great benefit to the ter
ritory.
DEPOT WORK COMMENCED.
Through some error the material for
the new depot and hotel of the Santa
Fe at Albuquerque arrived in inverse
order and caused a delay in the com-
mencement of the carpenter work on
the structure. The foundation has
been finished for several weeks but
the roofing material commenced to ar-
rive.then the next materials below in
the building followed and so on down
to the floor timbers which have at
last arrived and the work of laying
them has commenced. Several fore
men have been imported from Chicago
but the majority of the workmen will
be secured in Albuquerque.
AGAINST FOOT BALL.
of Albuquerque took laudanum with
suicidal intent Wednesday night. A
physician was called and saved her
life. She had bought the daudanum
at a drug store and signed the poison
dook to the effect that she wanted it
for toothache. She then retired to
her room and drank the drug. Mrs.
Webster s husband was killed last
year and she has been having spells
or despondency ever since. In an ex
tra hard attack of this she tried to
tnd her existence.
MADE AN ENVIABLE RECORD.
Governor Otero will undoubtedly
succeed himself as chief executive of
the teritory. He has made a most en-
viable record for himself and has very
materially advanced the chances of
our people enjoying statehood. His
record should be taken into considera
tion when the appointment is made.
as it will undoubtedly be. and if this
is done New Mexico will enjoy a con
tinuation of the present wise and pro-
gressive administration. Chama Tribune.
MEXICO.
KILLED TWO ITALIANS.
George C. Topham. who is well
konwn in railroad circles in Mexico
is in jail at Teziutlan for killing two
Italians. He was engaged in buildine
a number or tunnels for the Sail Mar-
cos & Tecolutla railway and among
his employes were the two Italians.
They were getting . $9 a day and they
didn't want the job to end. so thev
would go and tear away a part of the
work at each night. Mr. Topham
found that they were the men who
were damaging his work and fired
them. This made them so mad that
tney swore that they would not allow
him to leave the camp alive. They
made an attack upon him with guns
nd he bested them. One pulled down
on him and he grabbed the pistol so
that the hammer came down on his
finger. He shot that one through the
neart and the other hid him over the
head when Topham shot him in the
stomach and killed him. Mr. Topham
says is was a case of they killink him
or he killing them and he was fortun
ate enough to get them first.

AN UNLIKELY STORY.
A sporting man. of Raton who is
in las Vegas claims that he saw and
recognized Pat Crowe on the streets of
Ias Vegas last Saturday. He declares
that he could not have been mistaken
as ho ahd known the notorious crook
lor tne past twenty-five years. It is
not very reasonable that a man wonlH
lot a chance like that slip. There
would have been about $50000 in it
for that man if he had run Pat in nr
he could have at least put some officer
next and received a share of the laree
amount of money offered as rewards
lor the capture of Crowe.
