Special to The Timet.
Las Cruces, N. M., Aug. 31.—A
trainload ot commercial apples from
thirty-five acres Is the record of a
Mesilla valley orchard. "El Mau-
xanal’’, owned by J. U. Stewart, has
the heaviest crop of high grade ap-
ples ever known In this valley, with
the possible exception of the same
orchard In 1908.
The Stewart place Is a model Irri-
gated farm. While apples are by
far the largest crop, alfalfa, beans,
asparagus and other crops are grown.
The orchard proper consists of 35
acres of commercial apple trees. Mr.
Stewart bought this ranch in the
spring of 1908 and gathered 10,000
bushels of marketable apples the
first year. The season of 1911 will
probably equal that of 1908.
Car shipments will bfegln in the
latter part of September, one Hous-
ton firm has applied for 20 car loads.
The Mesilla Valley Produce Ex-
change may market the entire crop.
The Mesilla valley apples are excel-
lent keepers; some of last year's
crop was kept until late this spring.
This gives thp growers plenty ot time
to seek out the best markets.
One car of box material has ar-
rived and two others are on the way.
An expert box maker is putting these
boxes together at the rate of 400 to
#00 per day. As soon as the season
reaches the full swing a large num-
ber of pickers will be engaged and
the crop gathered as rupidly as pos-
sible.
The apple trees are 16 years old
and in excellent condition. A large
quantity of lumber is being used to
support the limbs.
The work of dismantcllng the land
office building will commence Sep-
tember 5. The land office site will

< pleted. Temporary quarters have
not ag yet been selected for the land

ed by Mr. Garrett, he is defraying all

mended for his enterprising spirit.
It Is understood that like improve-
ments are soon to be begun in front

team had its initial practice yesterday
at the ball grounds. Miss Ira Tatom,
on account of her thorough knowl-
edge of the game, which she learned
at Carlsbad college last year, coacned
the team, and Its success is assured.
Owing to tho large influx of land
seekers at this point a meat famine
was narrowly averted by the foresight
of Mr. J. I. Keith, our local purveyor,
who noticed late Monday night that
the promptest action would be neces-
sary to get enough beef In to supply
the community. He telephoned at a
late hour to the Good ranch, whore

eral beeves Immediately. They ar-
rived at an early hour this morning

erage soon to make Its appearance

time been experimenting, has suc-
ceeded In perfecting what may al-
most be called a pure water melon
juice, extracted from the periphery
of the melons, which are raised so
abundantly In the sandy soil peculiar
to this locality. If Texacola proves a
success, the profit derived from the
growing of melons will Induce capi-
tal to establish a Texacola factory
here to extract the juice, and as a
consequence will be a boom to the
melon Industry of this community.
‘‘Pony’’ Andrews today bought a
beautiful Jersey milk cow from Live-
stock Inspector Matt “Sullv” Davis,
the consideration being $100. Sully

cow business must be profitable.

ber of local anglers returned yester-
day from a fishing trip to the Rio
Pecos. They brought In a large bas-
ket full of fine catfish and report
large quantities of fish In the river
at this time.

BOYLES, OF GLOBE,
BEAT BUNCO ARTISTS
Special to The Tltnee.
Los Angeles, Cal.. Aug. 31.—E. D.
Boyles, a cowboy and rancher of
Globe, Ariz., felt $7,500 slipping
through his hands yesterday, but to-
day he Is probably the happiest man
In town, for he escaped what he be-
lieves to be the dutches of several
bunco men. At Boyles' Instance J.
A. Thompson, who halls from ‘‘some-
where near Fnrt Worth," was ar-
rested Hnd Jailed, pending an investi-
gation.
According to Boyles, he met
Thompson and several other men
Kunday morning. He was Informed
that they were on the “Inside'' of the
race business, and that he could place
bets at their "office" at Arcadia. He
went there and found telegraphers
busy with clicking keys and other
evidences of prosperity. So he placed
a “feeler" of $1 on a horse. He was
soon handed $5. Then little by little
his enthusiasm got the better of his
judgment until he handed over a
cheek for $7,500. t
A* he got no returns. Boyles soon
got suspicious and immediately stop-
ped payment on the check. As this
maneuver tied up the alleged attempt
at bunco, Thompson was release! by
the police, as Boyles expressed a de-
sire not. to prosecute. As the »«««>
now stands, Boyles Is $400 ahead of
the game.

FURTHER RECESSION
IN STOCK MARKET
Sharp Rita at Opening Wat Fol-
lowed by Decline
MOVED IN VERY NARROW RANGE
Trading Was Aimless, Tradars Wars In-
different and Business Fell to Very
Small Proportions
Associated Prctt Dispatch.
New York, Aug. 31.—Following a sliarp
rise at the opening of the market and
a subsequent recession, stocks moved In
a narrow range today. Trading was
aimless and traders were Indifferent.
Business fell to the smallest proportion
of several days.
Pressure was again directed toward
Lehigh Valley to a marked extent, and
at one time during the day the stock fell
six points from the high mark of the
session, it was said holdings of a large
interest In the property had been thrown
on the market.
Later In the day Amalgamated Copper
was attacked In much the same man-
ner, relapsing nearly two points. The
similarity of the two movements gave
rise to the belief that both were bear
raids, Intended to facilitate short cover-
ings.
Lehigh Valley’s bottom price of the
day was the lowest of the year. Inter-
est continued to turn largely on the pros-
pects of strikes on the Harriman and
other line*.
Securities of both corporations
against which the supreme court enter-
ed decrees in the anil-trust suits, were
active today. Transfer books of the
Standard Oil company closed today and
transactions In tills stock in the out-
side market were consequently for cash
only. An offer was made ot 310 for the
stock “ex-subsidiary," but traders re-
fused to deal in the Issues on those terms
until a better opportunity is presented of
determining their value.
Various plans were afoot today to pre-
vent violent fluctuations in quotations
tomorrow, but at the close of the day it
was uncertain what course Hie trading
Would take. American Tobacco securi-
ties were strong throughout the session.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales,
par value, $1,340,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call, #

CHICAGO GRAIN.
A**ortatrd Prr** /H+patrH.
Chicago, Aug. <31.—Unexpected etrengrth
to foreign markets, the result mainly of
war risks having brew advanced, brought
about today higher prices for wheat.
The close was at a gain of % to over
last night. Other leading staples all rose,
torn % to T#®>1 cent; oats, % to ?##l
cent, . and provisions 2V#®6 to 10#12V#
cents.
Th« decided change of the character
of news from across tho water would ap-
parently have lent to a more radical up-
turn here but for heavy liquidating sales
In the September options. The unloading
if that future, though, was not without
some compensating effect, being taken as
a sign of light deliveries tomorrow and
to that effect, forming U bullish Influ-
ence. Drought In Australia was also
counted as a source of the strength of
prices. On the other hand fine condi-
tions for cutting and threshing in the
Canadian northwest were reported.
December ranged from t>4*-a'W% to
94 Vi Mid closed \ up at 94 Viru U, with
the final lone steady.
Talk of a probable reduction or wiping
out of the German duty on corn had
much to do with a bulge In tho market
for that cereal. December fluctuated be-
tween 62V4^4# and 63%. closing T#(ftT net
higher at 63%- Cash grades were in good
demand. Number 2 yellow was quoted
at 65#65%.
Oats also received an upward impetus
from tiie shortage of feed in Germany.
High and low points touched for the De-
cember delivery were 46% and 46%, with
laHt sales at 46. an improvement of
cent over last night.
Packers were buyers on all soft spots
in the market for hog produ- is The end
of the session left higher figures for the
entire list- pork up 5 cents to rent*:
lard, 5 cents to 10@12V# cents and ribs
2V##5 to 10 cents.
