Dear Editor and readers of
I'he Murray News.
As 1 haven't seen a letter
from New Mexico in your paper
l will write a few' lines about our
country,
We had a line rain the 19th and
20th of May that broke (lie long
Irouth and made many sad faces
look bright, it being (he iim
rain we have had since my arrival
iast November, but we had three
big snows in April which was a
great help.
I think this a tine country.
We grow most everything here
i hat you grow in Georgia except
■niton, and some are raising it.
My greatest dislike to this
country is the sand-storms and
vind. The people here say the
summers arc lovely,
We have church in 2 1-2 miles
of us and we live l 1 2 miles
from Saint vrain, our nearest
town.
This country is nearly all set
tied up now*, there being a house
or claim shanty on nearly every
quarter settion. Under the now
law any one can file on 320 acres.
We have good water at a deli h
of from 25 to 250 feet.
Rattlesnakes and antelope are
plentiful m this country.
Good luck to The News and
its readers.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM COL. C. L. HENRY.
Tells o f His Long Trp to His
New Home in New Mexico.
Something About the
Country and its Pop¬
ulation.
Gallup, New Mexico, May 28,
1009.—To The Murray News and
its many readers:
I have be£» thinking ever
since I arrived at this place that
I would write a letier back to
The News but it took us several
days to get settled down to house
keeping and then it tfidk me
several more to get an office and
enough things in it to open it to
the public and invite them to
come and see me arid trust their
business to me. consequently I
have not had the time to write
hack. *
We had a very nice trip out
here and sp'-nt about two weeks
on f he road, We spent two days
in New Orleans seeing the things
uf interest there and then visit¬
ed ridaffres in different parts of
Texas for a few days before leav¬
ing on (lie last lap of our jotir
ney. As w© came througli
Mississippi and Louisiana we savi
plenty of corn and cotton up and
worked over and lots of nit© gar
dens am! in some parts of Texas
it was the same way but as we
passed through north western
Texas everything was dry and
,-o«>l and nothing growing, and
w hen we got into Colorado we
saw plenty of snow ami ice. We
arrived in Gallup on the morn¬
ing of t he 27th of April and soon
after our arrival one of the worst
sand storms that had ever hit
tliis place also arrived and stayed
wit ft us until the next day even
»»«• Mrs. Henry and the two
.
children and Cooper McEntire,
who came with us.
Hotel most all the time Tor the
first two days. The sand storm
was so bad that there was lota of
the time that one could not see
across the street, but since that
time we have been having de
lightful weather. It ha., been
cool, dry and pleasant all the
time except one or two days we
had a little sleet. We still have
to have tiros here on account of
the Altitude of this place which
is about 0500 feet. The old, set¬
tlers here say there is not out
two months in the year here but
what we will have to have tire
and they are .July and August
and it is likely that we will have
to have tires then atter the sun
goes down. Wraps are always
worn after the sun goes down
here.
This is a coal mining town of
2500 people in the incorporation
and about 2000 people at a min¬
ing camp about two miles north
of here. This county has three
Indian reservations in ir, towit:
Tin; Navajo, the Zuni and the
Lagonni trines. The Indians are
very peaceable follows and don’t
seem to do any one any harm.
They simply stand around on
the streets with their big heavy
woolen blankets over them all
the time and a big red bandana
handkerchief tied around their
foreheads and large silver rings,
about t lie size of a dollar, in
their ears and wearing sandals of
their own make on their feet and
sometimes they have their faces
painted red. The population of
the town is composed of Indians,
Mexicans, Italians, Germans.
Scandinavians, Japanese, Frensh
Scotchmen, tnglishmen and
in fact all sorts ot people, it is
sal1 * that there are only about
or ^ native born Ameri
cans here. Wages for washer
women are $1.50 per day oi $1.00
f° r a halfday and for laborers
frrt,n a dii >' «P- Parpen
ters and brick masons get from
$3.tK) to $5 00 per day. Most of
the houses here are made out of
brick or Adoubas. An adouba
is a large mud and grass brick
which has been run through a
mud mill and then cut up into
whatever size you want it, al-
ways either 4 x <5 x 18 or 4xG x 14
t x 0 x 1*2 and then laid out on
the ground and let get thorough¬
ly dry afnd then they are placed
in the house. The walls of the
Adouba houses are always eitner
12. 14 or 18 inchei thick They
are said to be the best houses
for this country, because they
keep cool in the summer and
warm in the winter and this sand
cant get through them during
one of the sand storms, and it
does sometimes come through a
brick house. Coal is the cheap¬
est thing we have here. There
is said to be coal under every
foot of the ground around Gallup.
Quite a number of coal mines
are now m operation here. The
largest one is operated by the
American Fuel Co.. of Denver
Col. They work about 1000
hands. There are a number of
sheep, goat and cattle ranches in
this county. Some dry farming
but not very much as yet. This
is also a division point of the
Sante Fe Railroad and quite a
number of railroad people live
here. The Saute Fe lias a Round
House and quite a number of
other buildings here and are
planing to build a very large and
commodious Depot although they
have a good large one now. This
place has splendid public schools,
an electric light plant, water
works, ami allow me to say that
the water is certainly fine, four
churches, Methodist, Congrega
tionalist, Episcopalian and Cath¬
olic, a Masonic Lodge, Odd Fel¬
lows Lodge, K. of I J . Lodge, W.
0. W. Lodge and several others
There is also two good newspa¬
pers here.
I have been to the Masonic
L >dge twice and saw them give
t ie 3rd degree to two men and
the first degree to one man. The
Saeriff of this, McKinley county,
t >ok the 3rd degree last Monday
night Have also attended the
Odd Fellow’s Lodge twice and
the last night 1 was there the
soldiers from Fort Wingate, a
• mall town in this county 12
miles east of here where Uncle
Sun lias some soldiers stationed,
oatne dirwh aud put on two de¬
grees, Initiatory and First and
let me tell you brother Odd Fel-
1 iws of Murray, they certainly
did the work well. The Lodge
here had a nice supper after the
work was over and some speak¬
ing. The Odd Fellows here own
the building that they occupy
and it is certainly a nice Hall
room; They keep a Hue Range
in the kitchen for use on just
such occasions as the one I men¬
tioned and have hot and cold
water and in fact all that is need
ed not only in ixegulia but in
most everything else. They get
something over $100.00 per month
rents. The Masons and Odd
Fellows have botn been very
nice to me since 1 have been
here. The W. 0. W Lodge is
weak in this place aud do not
have regular meetings.
Perhaps l hid better quit for
this time as this letter is already
too long. Wishing The Murray
News aud all its readers success,
I close. C. L. Henry.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local treatment, as the cau
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf¬
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
thr Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is suilamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and w hen it is entirely
closeu, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inilamatioii can
he taken out aud this tube re¬
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forev¬
er; nine cases out of ten are
eaused by Catarrh, which is noth¬
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
