Irrigation boom eyed for El Paso Valley by San Antonio farmer
Major Amon Barns, new Angelus hotel proprietor, promotes irrigation as El Paso water could turn the valley into a farming gold mine. He cites 1250 foot wells near San Antonio, artesian flow claims, and examples from Collins and Praeger showing profitable irrigation, with plans to drill more wells and rent land to tenants.

The Lesser and Greater Lights Poem by Emma Murray
From a window I gaze at midnight a world of darkness and sleep. City lights keep faithful vigils while lesser lights gleam in the heavens above the brighter lights. I long for a swift reward and dream of a beauty world, but return to duties, finding strength in the steadfast star that shines above.
