Del] Valley - Congressman

the oply national park that
went through the last Congress.

having gotten the bill through

mmittee were read and discussed
Said resolutions to be presented

Dell Valley........The milo harvest is practically finis-
hed with the exception of a few fields that are still too
green to cut. A major portion of the harvest work wasdone
by contracted individuals this year.
CLOWN - KING - MUNSTER
You will vote FOR or AGAIN-
ST : "the Amendment to the
State Constitution providing for
a Court of Criminal Appeals of
five members, and prescribing
the term of said court. "
This amendment would in-r
crease our Court of Criminal
.Appeals from three Judges to
five Judges. The Court now op-
erates with three Judges and two
Commissioners who are assis-
tants to the Judges, but have no
authority as members of the
Court. The two present Comm,
of Appeals would become Jud-
ges and hold their offices, one
for a term of two years and the
other for a term of four years,
beginning trie first day of Jan.
following the adoption of this
amendment.
Proposition 10 on the Ballot
Dell Valley.......The Annual Halloween Parade, sponsored by
the Chamber of Commerce had more than 100 entrants Monday
afternoon. Everything from ghosts to clowns, to monsters was
seen by the spectators. Among the more clever were the "knight
in shining armour" and several characterizations of local figures.
Winners of the Parade were: Erin Lynch (center) "Old King Cole,
first place; Bucky Stevenson (right) "Herman Munster", second
place, and Lindsey Snodgrass (left) "Clown", third place. Father
John Casey was on hand to hand out small bags of candy to all par-
ticipants of the parade.
Dell Valley -Harvest of many
crops are proceeding rapidly
with the aid of fine weather.
Cotton picking by mechanical
picker is in full swing with
most of the ginning being done
on the roller-Pima gin, Grades
are running about half Middling
and half Strict-low middling.
Some cotton is being ginned
by-pass which means that after
the seed is removed from the
lint cotton the usual cleaning
of the cotton is not done and
it goes directly into the bale.
Some mills prefer to do their
own cleaning when they have
a special or specific purpose
for the final use of the cotton
fiber.
Milo maize harvest will ’be
practically through this week
with only the very late planted
fields showing green grain and
high moisture. The frosts have
been light up to now and die
late grain has remained green.
Most of the grain cutting is be-
ing done by contractors. Pay-
master Oil Mill Co. and Larry
Carr are buying a lot of grain
locally and the balance is be-
ing shipped to El Paso feed
yards. Prices range from $1. 70
cwt. locally to $2.05 cwt. de-
livered in El Paso. The last
cuttings of alfalfa are taking
place now and fields that are
little too short for a good cutt-
ing are bing grazed by cattle.
Castor beans are still too
green to harvest. The crop
looks good but will have to
wait two or more weeks until
it is completely dry so the beans
will shell out clean.
Tomatoes are still coming
off all week from areas not
frosted heavily. The packers
have had a busy season. This
industry will be expanded more
next year again.
Dell Valley -In the last issue
of the Herald, we listed the first
8 amendments of sixteen app-
earing on the November.8
Ballot. Here are the remaining
8:
Proposition 9 on the Ballot
Increasing the Court of Crimi-
nal Appeals to Five Judges
You will vote FOR or AGAIN-
ST: "the amendment to Sec.
3-b of Article VII of the Con-
stitution of Texas providing
that taxes or bonds previously
voted in any independent school
district or in any junior college
district shall not be abrogated,
cancelled or invalidated by any
change in boundaries and author-
izing the continuance of the le-
vy of taxes after such change
without further election. "

CATTLE REPORT.......The USDA issued its Cattle on Feed
report for 32 states on October 17, 1966, Pre-trade predictions
ranged between 8-12% more cattle on feed than a year ago. It
was generally felt that a figure below 10% would be constructive
for the more distant futures contracts. The market failed to live
up to expectations. This is known in the trade as a contra-re action
to a bullish report. We can see i some reasons for this and some
that do not justify recent market action when based upon this re -
port.
The number of cattle on feed for six months or more shows a
19% increase over a year ago and the number of cattle weighing
over 1, 100 lbs, shows a 20% increase.
Both of the groups (cattle on feed for six months or more and
cattle weighing over 1, 100 lbs. ) represent the smallest part of
each classification, but we think that they illustrate, statistically,
the pressurers that could hang over the cash market for some time
to come. These cattle will have to be marketed, and they may
come with higher weights than normal. Both ii the above-men-
tioned factors could further depress the cash market. How long
will this last? This is the question that is uppermost in the minds
of traders. We think that it can safely be assumed that the majo
rity of these heavier cattle may have to be marketed between
now and the first of tire year. We would assume that the worst could
be over in early winter, and that some price improvement will
be seen between now and the end of the year. (E.F. HUTTON)
Estos indios recibieron al hom-
bre bianco, por lo general, en
un ambiente de paz. Sus imper-
ios no alcanzaron el grade de
civilizacion de las tribus encon-
tradas en Mexico por los con-
quistadores. La convivencia pa-
cifica que trataron de establecer
hombres del calibre de William
Penn no se realize. En un prin-
cipio los colonos compraban de
los indios los terrenes; tai vez
la compra mas famosa fue la
de la Isla de Manhattan., donde
se establecio la Nueva Amster-
dam y que hoy en dia es el cen-
tre de Nueva York. La dicha
isla fue comprada en una suma
infima que tiene comparacion
posible con el valor actual, sin
embargo existio un acuerdo mu-
tuo y no se uso de la fuerza.
Andando el tiempo los tratos
que se hicieron con los indios se
convirtieron en documentos sin
valor, violados por los blancos,
quienes fueron despojando a los
indios de los mejores terrenos
de caza despertando asi el odio.
Es historic^ que una de las’*3*"*
mayores perdjdas que sufrieron
los indios fue la destruccion de
las manadas de bisontes por
parte de los blancos. El dicho
animal que se contaba por mill-
ares suplia la alimentacion basi-
Ca del piel roja, quien mataba
solo lo necesario para satisfacer
sus necesidades, mientras que
el hombre bianco equipado con
armas modernas inicio una ma-
tanza insensata que practica-
ftiente hizo desaparecer la espe-
cie. Las cosas no podian con-
tinuar asi y se inicio una guerra
que durp mas de cuarenta anos,
en la cual participaron cheyenes,
sioux, apaches, kiowas, chero-
kees, comanches y otros.
