First Alfalfa.
The first alfalfa in the Hereford
country this year, and, in fact, the
first to be raised by irrigation, is
being cut this week on the McDonald
farm north of town. The yield will
run from one-half to three-fourths of
a ton. This must be a fair yield
wben it is known that the seed were
planted last September. Four more
cuttings, which are expected to run
as much as a ton per acre for each
cutting, will be had. Just as rapidly
as the hay is matured and removed
from the field the irrigation ditches
are opened and the work of Major
J. Pluvius begins in earnest by arti-
ficial means. \

Receives Painful Bum.
Wednesday afternoon, at the close
of a birthday party for her 8-year
old daughter, Annie Fitshugh, Mrs.
G. A. F. Parker met with a painful
accident by having her hands burned.
The little girl had lighted a candle
in her own room and had placed it
too near a sash curtain, which catch-
ing afire, was soon ablaze. The
little girl ran to her mother, who
made baste to put out the blaze by
tearing the curtian loose with her
hands and carrying it out of the
house. Her hands were severely
burned. Physicians dressed the
burns and it is hoped no serious
harm will result.

Two Thousand Mile Trip.
R. Bartholomew and son of Hardy,
Iowa, are in Hereford this week in
an E-M-F car which they have
driven without accident from Hold-
ridge, Nebraska, where they traded
two motorcycles for the machine,
after riding the two machines from
their home at Hardy, a distance of
600 miles. From Holdridge they
went by way of Cheyenne, Boulder
and Denver, and from the last place
came down the Denver road to Ama-
nita and then to Hereford. They
own some land near Kelso, this
county, and while here on their
pleasure trip, are looking after their
interests. The entire trip has re-
quired 3 weeks, but 8 days were
spent in visiting relatives,,
Another Fire at A. & M.
A fire Tuesday night at A. & M.
College completely destroyed the
main building, the loss being heavy
and almost irrepairable as many
books and records ofSalue were
burned. This is the third disastrous
fire at the College this session. Just
what provision the Regents will
make has not been decided. No
doubt, larger and better buildings
will be erected. There is some talk
of changing the location.

Left a Note of Thanks.
Last week while W. B. Parmer
and some others were out on his
ranch east of town some 12 miles,
they placed their dinner bucket,
containing a good supply of desirable
grub, at a vacant house near where
they were working. During the
morning a tramp came along and,
seeing the tempting dinner, he fell an
easy victim to the grub box, but he
was rather thoughtful of the owners
thereof. After partaking of a most
bountiful meal, which was really in-
tended for three good sized men, he
penciled the following note:
"nabor i am very much oblige and
if that 15 cents ant a nuff See me in
tows and ill make it ail rite."

Presbyterian Services.
Large crowds and increasing in-
terest are the best words of comment
about the protracted services now in
progrest at the Presbvterian church.
Rev. Thompsen, pastor at Amarillo,
is doing the preaching, assisted by
Pastor Baker, but all the ministers
of the town are aiding in the services
by their presence, prayers and per-
sonal work. The song programs are
being conducted by Miss Pattie
Estes. The best singers from all
the choirs are to be seen on the plat-
fore^ every night and this feature of
the' meeting, aside from the good
singing, indicate a splendid co-opera-
tive spirit. Mr. Thomsen is a good
preacher, an earnest talker, and at
times leads out into a bit of oratori-
cal effort with pleasing results. He
carries the conviction by his re-
marks that he is strongly spiritual,
not self-seeking nor wishing to gain
praise for himself. His sermons are
logical and forceful. The attendance
has been good from the start, be-
ginning Sunday night, when Rev.
Shore filled the pulpit in the absence
of the evangelist who had not arriv-
ed. The meeting will continue until
Sunday or longer. Two sessions are
being held—one at 10 o'clock a. m ,
the other at 8 -.15 p. m.

Attorney Dameron Announces.
W. Elmer Dameron, the present
incumbent of the county attorney's
office, authorizes the Brand to place
his name io the list ar * candidate
for re-election. Mr. Dameron is
serving his first term and those who
are io a position to know say that he
has made a proficient officer. I'
will be remembered tbst he was
elected in November, 1910, while
still at school, making neither an
announcement nor canvass for the
place, his friends taking the initiative
step to have his name placed on the
ticket "without his knowledge or
consent." It is well known that Mr.
Dameron believes and advocates the
enforcement of the law, fairly and
impartially, without regard to the
position or influence of parties con-
cerned. Those who are not fully
acquainted with the detail work of
his office are invited to make a care-
ful and rigid examination of all re-
cords pertaining to his official con-
duct. and to render their decision of
approval or disapproval accordingly,
lie asks for re-election to a second
term upon his record as an officer
and is willing to abide by the will of
the majority in the July election.

pleasant evenings cf the season.

FronClorli Journal. Mtrils
Tbe people of Clovis and surror and
ing country will be glad to know tha
authoritive information has been10
handed out that work will actually
be started on the Coleman road
within three weeks and that the ,,
Santa Fe system is now busy shipping
material for tbe construction of the
line into Lubfltck, Texas; part of
which has been unloaded. The sur-
veyors will complete the final survey
between Clovis and Lubbock within
the next few days, is the informa-
tion that came through railroad cir-
cles to tbe Clovis Journal early in
tbe week.
\ This road, giving Clovis a direct
route to Ft. Worth and Dallas,
Texas, will be one of the greatest
boosts that the country has bad since
it was settled. At the present time,
the route via Amarillo, Texas, to
Texas and Oklahoma points is not
only long, but shipments of freight
from Texas points is greatly delayed
and in the opening of this new route,
much satisfaction will be gained by
the shipping and traveling public.*
Tbe Santa Fe system have had the
line mapped out, and under contem-
plation, and while it was publically
known that it would be built in tbe
near future, the news that it is to be
started in the above time will help
tbe wave of prosperity that is sweep-
ing Eastern New Mexico caused by
the unparalled prospects for a bin
busting crop.
This, when completed, will not
only give Clovis the best railroad
facilities in the Panhandle, but will
add greatly to the railroad payroll
here and give us connections with
one of the best strips o'•*—* *- un-
d?r the Te* * >ne. Especially were
the teachers from Central Texas de-
lighted with the climate. President
Cousins waa at Hereford last Friday
and states that tbe prospects for a
large attendance was good.
