I was born on Sunny View Farm and Ranch in the
Sacramento Mountains on May 30, 1906 - the eight of
ten children, I was five years old, and my Mother was
42 when the twins, Raye and
Faye were born. I remember
people came from all over the
country to see the twins, as
twins were rare in those days.
They traveled on horseback,
in buggies, and wagons.
People took time to visit in
those days. Often, some of
them would spend the night.
I know large families are
not so popular these days, but
I’m thankful I grew up in a
large family. We did not need
to go anywhere or have anyone visit us to have a picnic.
We worked hard when there
was work to be done, and
*(0LOOHU
played games together when
we had time for that. Friends were always welcome,
but we never lacked for entertainment. If we wanted a
baseball game, we had our own teams.
My Mother’s maiden name was Martha Ann Baker.
Her Father, Shepard Baker, was a Primative Baptist
Deacon. He died before I was born, but her Mother,
Sina (Harris) Baker lived with
us for several years. She was
blind, and we children helped
care for her. Sometimes, she
would spend a few months with
mother’s sister, Sarah, who
married Lon Buck. He was a
mortician in Alamogordo, NM.
One of Mother’s brothers, Riley
Baker, was the first Sheriff of
what is now known as Otero
County.
My parents moved from
Texas to New Mexico in 1890.
They moved to Hay Canyon
where my Uncle Riley had a
home. They were living there
when Joseph and Ada were
born. Then they moved to a
place near the mouth of the Agua Chiquita Creek for
awhile. In the spring of 1898, they filed on a home-
During the Regular Legislative Session of year 2000, the New Mexico
Legislature passed a Joint Memorial requesting that the New Mexico
State Game Commission
establish carrying capacities and herd size for the
elk in New Mexico. Further, the Joint Memorial
requested that the State
Game Commission establish appropriate elk numbers with the cooperation
of Federal Land and Wildlife Management Agencies. At this request, the
Lieutenant Governor’s office established an elk/

which included the New

Douglas-fir tussock moth outbreak - An outbreak of Douglas-fir tussock moth in the Sacramento Mountains
east of Cloudcroft has caused concern among homeowners and real estate developers. Heavy defoliation of
white fir, Douglas-fir and spruce has been detected in several areas and may cover over one hundred acres.
The insects have completed their development and control is not effective at this time. Douglas-fir tussock
moth has not been a serious pest in this region in many years and it is not known if this outbreak will continue
to expand next year. In general,
healthy defoliated trees recover
without serious problems,
however top-killing and tree
mortality may be seen on the
less vigorous trees. Trees
defoliated over multiple years
will have more severe injury.
High value ornamental trees that
have been defoliated this year
should be monitored next
summer for caterpillars. The
biological insecticide B.t.is

moth caterpillars in their early

stages.
Douglas-fir tussock moths have an interesting life cycle. All of the dispersal from tree to tree occurs when the
insect is a tiny caterpillar that is carried by the wind. The tiny larvae do little damage until the last few weeks of
their life as larvae when they become voracious. Trees with full canopies can be completely stripped of needles.
As the caterpillars molt, hairs from their bodies become airborne and can cause skin rashes on people allergic
to them. The largest outbreaks of this insect occur in the northwest part of the country where thousands of
acres may be defoliated. In New Mexico outbreaks have been smaller and in many years the insect is undetected
in the forest. It has been a more significant problem on landscape trees - especially spruce and white fir
planted in higher elevation communities like Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, Santa Fe, and Los Alamos.

Phase 1 of the Timberon Road should be
completed on schedule in November, 2001.
They will begin paving operations after Labor Day Weekend.
Phase 2 of the Timberon Road is currently
shaping up like this...
There are several archeological sites along
the 2nd half of the road and a contract has
already been awarded for data recovery this will be going on through the fall.
The right-of-way plans will be completed
by the end of the year, at that point the County
will begin negotiations with the landowners affected in an effort to secure the property for the road easement.
Logging of the Phase 2 area will probably
start sometimes in summer or fall of 2002,
but the actual contract for construction will
not even be advertised until November,
2002. Work will begin on second half of
the Timberon Road in the Spring of 2003.
How long the construction will take depends
on how the bidding goes and who gets the
contract.

“Air Force leaders have repeatedly commented that
air space and community encroachment are the main
problems at their bases in some states. New Mexico is
not vulnerable to the air space saturation of other more
crowded states that impede Air Force training operations, and encroachment by local communities is also
not a problem,” Domenici said.
“Whether we have a new base closure process or
not, I recommend that the people of Alamogordo and
Otero County continue to strengthen their efforts to
build on the very good support now offered to the base
and the service men and women deployed here,” he
said. “Mutually beneficial projects work to improve
both the base and the community. We’ve seen it with
the Gerald Champion Hospital partnership and now
the Bonito water pipeline project.”
Domenici pointed out that the Bonito project, for
which he gained $18 million last year to replace about
30 miles of water pipeline from La Luz to Holloman,
will ensure that water is available to support Holloman’s
mission and serve Alamogordo.
“Securing that funding solved one aspect of the most
immediate water problems in the Alamogordo area.
Like communities throughout the West, Alamogordo
faces long-term challenges in terms of having the water it requires to continue to grow. Fortunately, this

organization of business and civic leaders.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon outlined proposed
legislation to authorize a single round of base closures and realignments starting in 2003. The proposed
Efficient Facilities Initiative (EFI) Act of 2001 would
authorize the Secretary of Defense to recommend a
single round of base closures and realignments to an
independent commission in 2003. The Defense Department maintains there is 20-25 percent more military base capacity than actually needed.
“Quite frankly, this proposal is unlikely to receive
congressional approval. The procedure proposed is
viewed as being vulnerable to politicization. But even
in the remote chance that the new BRAC proposal were
approved by Congress, Holloman is in great shape,”
said Domenici, who serves on the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

Humor by Norman M. Maisel of Quemado
There was a huge cloud of blue smoke and dust billowing
around Bub’s front gate. Jimmy had just arrived. He ran
breathlessly up the steps and into the house.
“What in the world is wrong with you?” Bub asked him.
“Have you got a wild bobcat up your drawers, or what?”
“I’m about to make us both millionaires. We’re gonna be
filthy, stinking rich. That’s what.”
“What are you talking about?”
“The sharks!”
“The sharks?… What sharks?”
“The ones on TV. They’re having a feeding frenzy. The sharks
1RUPDQ0DLVHODQGKRUVH are attempting to eat up all of them tourists in Florida.”
“Yes, Bub replied. “I saw that on the news. But just how do
you think that those sharks are going to make us rich?”
“Easy.” When ever jimmy got real excited, he always began running his words together.
“We’regonnagobuyustwosharks!”
“Jimmy, just slow down and start over, so I can understand what you’re trying to tell me.”
Jimmy took a big gulp of air and began again. “We are going to go and buy us a shark.
Then we’ll travel all over the country with the county fairs. What we’re going do, is build us
a big glass tank. Fill it with water and put the shark into it. All of this will be inside of a great
big tent with bleachers for all the people to sit on. What we do, is have two entrances. On
one side, the sign will read FREE SWIMMING LESSONS. Then above the door on the other
side of the tent will be a sign that says SHARKS… A FEEDING FRENZY AS SEEN ON
TELEVISION… ADMISSION $10.00.”
“Jimmy. You’re sick. Sick. Sick. Sick.”
“Well wait just one darned minute. That’s not all.” Jimmy paused to finally take a breath.
“Now gonna get us another shark. We’ll pull out all of it’s teeth and put it into another glass
tank. Then we’ll charge twenty dollars so people can get their picture taken with a real live
man eater… WE’LL BE RICH! I guarantee it will become a major tourist attraction. And
you Bub, as the first investor, will become a partner in company.”
“The only thing I’m going to do, is to ship you off to Florida with a one way ticket and a
letter telling them to feed you to the sharks. Now come into the kitchen and have some
coffee, while I go make out the mailing label to paste up on your forehead.”

Parasitology is the study of parasitism. Parasitism is a state in
which an organism is metabolically dependent to a greater or lesser
extent on another organism known as the host. Parasitism can be
harmful or beneficial. Parasites can be single cell organisms such
as amoebae or multi-celled organisms such as fleas. The parasite
host relationship often has evolved through time with very simple to
very complex transmission methods and no discussion of the relationship of the host to the parasite is complete without immunological considerations.
Schools of veterinary medicine have considerable numbers of hours
of intense academic training in parasitology. A basic knowledge of
biology and zoology is a prerequisite to the discipline.

The flea and tick control has recently been made easier with new
drugs that can be safely applied to the skin and have effects of several months between applications.
New Mexico has a high incidence of plague that is related to burrowing animals such as ground squirrels having fleas. Fleas from
infected animals can infect cats or other animals which in turn may
infect humans. Therefore, flea control can lower the incidence of
human bubonic or pneumonic plague.
Certain geographic regions have specific parasite problems and
are related to many factors including intermediate hosts, climate,
and host density. When you have your animal’s annual vaccinations

Below is a map showing this year’s road decommissioning plan. Editor’s note - This map was color-coded,
and of course, this paper is black and white. So a hint, everything that has a box and arrow pointing at it
and labeled RD…. is a small section of road that is to be closed. If you want to know exactly what parts
of the roads are to be closed, contact the Lincoln National Forest for a colored map.
The Lincoln National Forest decommissioned 12 miles on 11 roads within the Scott Able burned area as part
of the emergency burned area rehabilitation effort last year. We plan to decommission an additional 25 miles
on 28 roads this fall.

These roads are little-used by the public and do not have any future forest management activity that will
require their use. Decommissioning them will reduce the miles of roads requiring maintenance, will reduce
pressures on wildlife, and will improve watershed conditions by re-establishing former drainage patterns and
restoring vegetation. Work to decommission these roads may include scarifying, seeding, waterbarring, and
recontouring. The work is scheduled to be accomplished during the months of September through November.

September is not too early to begin thinking about Christmas if you are
planning to mail overseas. When you are buying for someone, think of
light things. For example, if you wanted to send green chili, buy dried
instead of the canned. (But check to see if there are any restrictions to
the country you are mailing). Mailing overseas is a little easier this year
with the changes last January. Check at your Post Office for information
on international mailing.
In our area September also begins the exodus of summer residents and
it is important to once again go over the procedure for forwarding mail.
Please, if you plan on returning next year, be sure to check the temporary
block when you fill out the change of address. You must also put in a date
when you think you might return. If you do not, the system will think that
this is a permanent move. Many people check the permanent box because they think of their winter residence as a permanent one. If this is
done, you will lose your post office box or rural box and your mail will be
handled accordingly. Individual post offices no longer do the forwarding
of mail for their office. It is sent to a larger area where it is entered into
a computer which generates the yellow address stickers. Besides losing
your mailing address, your mailers will be notified of a permanent address change.
On September First a new stamp joins the Holiday Celebrations series,
the EID Stamp. It commemorates the two most important festivals in the
Islamic calendar. The “Eid mubarak” phrase featured in Islamic calligraphy can be translated as, “May your religious holiday be blessed”. December 16 marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, and is observed by offering special alms with prayers, feasting, exchanging gifts,
and visiting family and friends.

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT UPDATE - INSECTS AND DISEASE This
is the time of year when many forest pests become very apparent. The
Sacramento Mountains are experiencing several outbreaks of Douglas fir
Tussock Moth. The large brown blotch you see southeast of Cloudcroft
(around the tower) is one such outbreak. Despite it’s name, this pest
defoliates mostly white fir. It also likes ornamental blue spruce planted
around the area. The destructive caterpillars will soon, stop eating trees,
pupate into moths, mate and lay eggs that will hatch next June. These
outbreaks tend to crash in two to three seasons because of a fatal (to the
moth) virus that builds up in the population. Although the Tussock Moth
is a native species and present to some degree every year, they develop
into large outbreaks on about a twenty-year cycle. Many of the older
trees which were 90+% defoliated this year will die. This could be the
second year of this outbreak. Next year we may see vastly reduced numbers of moths as the virus takes it’s toll.
Many areas around Timberon and High Rolls are seeing piñon pine
dying. This seems to be a proliferation of pine engraver beetle (ipps
pini). We discovered some scattered mortality earlier this season off of
the Westside Road. This insect seeks out trees under stress (lightning
scarred, drought, impacts from development) and enters them to lay eggs.
The larvae then excavate tissue between the bark and the wood, which
kills the tree. This insect can produce up to three generations per year.
Because it’s a brood source it’s important to remove any green slash
created from thinning and clearing, or to cover slash with plastic. Thinned,
vigorous growing trees can repel attacks by pitching the beetle out of the
trunk. This pest can also kill ponderosa pine.
White pine blister rust is a fungus that is infecting our southwestern
white pine. It’s telltale sign is dying single branches which turn a bright
straw color. This disease has been marching across the country for the
past 100 years but has only been in the Sacramento Mountains since
about 1980. If you have a white pine that is infected you can prune off
infected branches but the tree is doomed. We have been testing individual trees across the forest, searching for disease resistance. We have
several candidates to date that show resistance. In the future we hope to

BUYING LAND? If you are purchasing land, always make sure
that it has legal access from a
public road. If there is other private land
between the land you are purchasing and
a public road, there should be
some type of documentation that
you will have access across that
land. Documentation may include an easement or documentation in the deeds. (Forest Service
personnel are not trained in legal
matters - if you have any questions,
please consult a professional.) If
you must cross land administered
by the Lincoln National Forest to
get to your private property, i.e.,
your property is surrounded by
Federal land and no public road
accesses it, please give us a call at the
Ranger Station and speak to Brad Orr.
PERMITS FOR NATIONAL
FOREST USE Every year, we receive dozens of applications from individuals and businesses to use the National Forest for various purposes.
These uses include recreational activities such as outfitting and guiding,
recreational events, group activities, and vending. We also issue permits
for water pipelines, private roads, utilities, mineral materials, mailboxes,
and other commercial and non-commercial uses. Some uses of the National Forest require no written authorization, such as hiking, camping,
and picnicking. However, many uses, especially those where improvements will be built, ground will be disturbed, over 75 persons will participate, or an income will be derived from the use, require written authorization from the Forest Service. If you are contemplating such a use,
please contact the Ranger Station in Cloudcroft to inquire about your
proposal. We will be happy to advise you on the permitting process.

Interior Secretary Gale Norton today announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and several conservation organizations have reached an agreement in principle that will enable the Service to complete work on evaluations
of numerous species proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Under this agreement with the Center for Biological Diversity, Southern Appalachian Biodiversity Project, California Native Plant Society, and the
Biodiversity Legal Foundation, the Service will issue final listing decisions for
14 species and propose eight more species for listing. The Service also will
be able to take action on four citizen petitions to list species under the Act.
The Service and the organizations have agreed to extend deadlines for eight
other critical habitat designations, thereby making funds available for these
actions.
“I am pleased that we have been able to cooperate and find common ground
that will allow us to protect these species under the Endangered Species Act,”

Norton said. “I hope this can be a model for future agreements.”
While the formal agreement is still pending, the Service will immediately
reallocate funds to begin work on the species covered by it. The species
covered by the agreement face significant threats. One species is affected by
the agreement in our mountain area Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly - Proposed Listing Rule
The Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly is restricted to the vicinity of Cloudcroft in the Sacramento Mountains in Otero County, New
Mexico. The species is threatened by destruction and fragmentation of
habitat from private and commercial development, habitat degradation
and loss of host plants from grazing, encroachment of conifers and nonnative vegetation into non- forested openings, over-collection, and, due
to its limited range, vulnerability to local extirpations from extreme
weather events or catastrophic wildfire including fire suppression activities.
Under the agreement, the deadlines for final critical habitat designations for
five species and proposed and final critical habitat designations for three others will be extended into the next fiscal year. The Service will use the funds
that would have been spent on these actions in fiscal year 2001 and early
fiscal year 2002 to list new species, propose new listings, work on other critical habitat designations, and respond to petitions.
“All parties to this agreement ultimately want the same thing – to conserve
and recover threatened and endangered species,” said Marshall Jones, the
Service’s acting director.
While the Department and the conservation organizations have reached an
agreement in principle, the parties must still negotiate a written settlement
document. The agreement, including the written document, must then be
reviewed and approved by the appropriate supervisory officials at the Departments of the Interior and Justice before it is finalized and presented to the
courts.

New Mexico has 9 million acres of
national forests and about 13 million
acres of land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Most are
open to public hunting and other recreation. In addition, the State Game
Commission has purchased an easement to state land for hunters and
trappers to use. It is the hunter’s responsibility to get pertinent information from each agency and to know the regulations of each agency on it’s
managed land. See phone numbers in this article to call for more information. Unfortunately, all regulations of other land management agencies cannot be included in this article.
The U.S. Forest Service and BLM may close some roads seasonally. In
addition, there are off-road vehicle restrictions in some units on Forest
Service and BLM lands. Their local offices will be able to assist you.

Rainforest Action Network is in the headlines again. This time it’s 20
celebrity environmentalists carrying a banner blaring, “Save Free Speech!
Stop Boise Cascade!”
They all got arrested for disrupting a Boise Cascade paper facility in
Chicago. Much-arrested singer Bonnie Raitt was one of the busted. So
was John Densmore, former drummer of former rock group The Doors.
You probably wouldn’t recognize the other 18 celebrities by name – mostly
non-profit types – even though the rainforest radicals spent a lot of money
marketing them.
“Save Free Speech?” Aren’t those banners supposed to say “Save the
Rainforest?”
“Stop Boise Cascade?” Okay, radicals don’t like big corporations.
But what, you may wonder, does a forest products company have to do
with saving free speech? I wondered too. So I looked into it.
The Rainforest group claimed that Boise Cascade tramples free speech
by objecting to protesters disrupting their business. Rainforest radicals
recently trespassed to hang a nasty banner on the company’s corporate
headquarters in Boise, Idaho.
“We have a right to civil disobedience,” said a Rainforest spokesperson. Well, amigo, to me “civil disobedience” means breaking laws for
political reasons. Does anyone have “a right” to break the law?
A lawyer friend told me that speech which incites people to unlawful
action is not protected by the First Amendment if there’s a direct connection between the speech and violation of the law. Trespass is a violation
of the law. So is obstruction. Civil disobedience is strictly AYOR – At Your
Own Risk. It’s not protected free speech. That’s what I always thought.
The Chicago Police Department thought so too. The cops hauled off the
Rainforest lawbreakers. Which brings us back to the question: what’s
Boise Cascade got to do with trampling free speech?
The answer: nothing. The banner was a smoke screen.
What’s really going on is this: Rainforest Action Network (RAN), according to several non-profit critics, has been violating the terms of its
privileged tax status. RAN not only doesn’t pay income taxes, but its contributors can also deduct donations from their own income tax.
That’s quite a favored status, and many non-profit organizations have it.
It’s called a 501(c)(3) status, named after the pertinent section of the
United States Tax Code.
But it comes at a price. To get and keep a 501(c)(3) status, an organization has to engage primarily in educational activities. Advocacy – lobbying and direct action – is strictly limited. Go beyond those limits and
your exempt status may be revoked.
RAN has gone beyond the limits, said the Washington, DC-based conservative think tank, Frontiers of Freedom (FOF), founded by retired Senator Malcolm Wallop of Wyoming. RAN should be stripped of its tax exempt status, FOF said.
It’s who FOF said it to that has RAN in banner-carrying hysterics: Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles Rossotti. Sen. Wallop’s organization sent a long list of RAN’s advocacy violations to the commissioner
and asked that RAN be stripped of its exempt status.
About a month later, another group sent Commissioner Rossotti a complaint against RAN, this one alleging unlawful acts. The Bellevue, Washington-based Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise (CDFE), presented
the IRS with evidence of RAN’s alleged unlawful acts, including a document they say appears to show extortion. CDFE asked the IRS to investigate.
That’s what really happened. But RAN can’t face being accused by fellow non-profit groups. They had to find a big bad corporate villain to
blame it on.
by J. Zane Walley
It wasn’t hard. RAN operates shakedown campaigns against various
large corporations, including Citigroup, Texaco – and timber giant Boise
Cascade Corporation. RAN runs boycotts, protests and blockades against
numerous companies and offers to stop in return for concessions and
money payments.
CDFE’s Ron Arnold said, “If that’s not extortion, what is it?”
RAN immediately claimed that Frontiers of Freedom and the Center for
the Defense of Free Enterprise were on the take from Boise Cascade. RAN
said the whole tax exemption thing was a dirty trick by a corporate villain.
Not so, said the two groups. Neither has received grants from Boise
Cascade or even talked to executives from the company. Both non-profits
were founded to educate the public about American freedoms. Each
singled out RAN for their own reasons.
CDFE, for example, has operated a public exposure Web site about RAN
since last year (www.RANamuck.org) as part of a massive project exposing the funding of hundreds of environmental groups.
It’s the funding that makes RAN hysterical. Rainforest Action Network
rakes in over $3.2 million a year. Over 75 percent is in tax deductible
grants from big foundations with fat stock portfolios. Less than 12 per-
cent comes from membership
dues.
If the IRS strips RAN of its educational status, the outfit will
have to reorganize as an advocacy group. Advocacy groups
are not eligible for foundation
grants or tax deductible donations. There goes nearly $2.5
million a year.
The Sierra Club changed to an
-=$1(:$//(<
advocacy group years ago when
its mission changed from education to activism. RAN doesn’t want to do
that. RAN doesn’t want to lose all that money. I’d get hysterical about
losing two-and-a-half-million bucks, too, pardner.
Bottom line? It’s about the money. Not free speech. Not Boise Cascade.
Not dirty tricks. As President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Where
there’s smoke, there’s usually a smoke-making machine.”

Here is the Pioneer Story of Rumaldo Aguilar Duran, of Carrizozo, from
the American Memories Collection at the Library of Congress. It was
written by Mrs. Edith L. Crawford, an author working for the WPA Writers’ Project, after she interviewed Mr. Duran on November 18, 1938. Mr.
Duran was 58-years old in 1938.
Mr. Duran said: “I came to Lincoln County, New Mexico, in 1887, from
Franklin, Texas, (now El Paso, Texas), and have lived in Lincoln County
for fifty-one years.
“My father, Jose Aguilar, married my mother, Salome Duran, at Old
Mesilla, New Mexico, (I have forgotten the date). They moved to the
Upper Nimbres Valley in Grant County, New Mexico, where my father
worked in the mines. There were both silver and copper mines there. I
was born February 7, 1880, at a mining camp in the Upper Nimbres Valley. When I was about three-months old my father was killed in the mines
at San Vicente, Luna County, New Mexico, which is near what is now Silver
City.
“After my father’s death, my mother went to live with her father and
mother, Nestor and Santos Duran, who lived in the Upper Nimbres Valley,
not far from us. After a few years my grandparents and my mother moved
to Franklin, Texas, (now El Paso, Texas), where they lived for several
years. My grandfather worked at his trade as a carpenter and mill worker.
While we were living in Franklin my mother married a man by the name
of Amado Montero. They had one child, a girl named Nestora.
“In September, 1887, we left Franklin, Texas, for Lincoln, New Mexico.
We traveled in a covered wagon drawn by two small ponies. In the crowd
were my grandfather and grandmother Duran; my step-father, Amado
Montero; my mother; my step-sister, Nestora; and myself.
“It took us about a month to make the trip. The sand was so deep
between Franklin, Texas, and Tularosa, New Mexico, that we had to travel
very slowly. While we were traveling through the sand we broke an axle
on the wagon and had to lay over for a
week while the men went up in the
mountains and got a piece of timber to
make a new axle for the wagon.
“We came by way of Tularosa, the
Mescalero Indian Agency, through Dark Canyon
to the Ruidoso River, and up Gavilan Canyon to Alto,
New Mexico. From there we traveled almost due north,
down Cedar Creek Canyon, by the “V”
Ranch, and on toward Fort Stanton
Army Post.
“Just before we reached Fort Stanton we heard shooting. We were all
very much afraid of the Indians and my grandfather, who was driving the
wagon, drove off to one side of the road in the brush. Leaving the rest of
us hidden in the brush, my grandfather and step-father took their guns
and sneaked up the side of the mountain to see what was going on. When
they got to where they could see they found it was the soldiers from Fort
Stanton at target practice.
“That was the only scare we got on our trip but the men always kept
their guns where they could reach them, as the Indians had been giving a
lot of trouble in this part of the country in the early eighties. From Fort
Stanton we traveled southeast down the Rio Bonito and arrived at Lincoln
about the middle of October, 1887.
“We first lived in a house belonging to the Catholic Priest just south of
the old Catholic Church. My grandfather worked at his trade as carpenter. Sometime later, I do not know the exact date, my grandfather bought
a small farm about a mile south of Lincoln, where we raised corn and
vegetables.
“On July 20, 1900, I was married to Honorata Mirabal. There were
seven children born to us, six boys and one girl. Aurra, Juan, Simon,
Romundo, Isidor, Enrique and Manuel. All of these children died in in-

Last month, the Museum had a record of 494 visitors who came from
18 states and four foreign countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, and Mexico. We have now had visitors from 49 of the 50 states only Delaware is missing - and 34 foreign countries from an over the
globe. With the coming of Labor Day and the opening of schools throughout the region, we anticipate the usual slowdown at this time of year, but
the number of summer visitors has really exceeded our past totals.
Whether it was the heat in the lower areas, or Fodor’s Travel Guide plugging Cloudcroft as one of the best “little-known” places in the world, we
don’t know, but we hope it continues. A record number of visitors,
along with more rain now and more snow this winter, would really make
our year complete.

Museum grounds - the tack barn and the log cabin which is used as a
blacksmith shop - now have lighting and power, thanks to the efforts of
Carroll Wood, assisted by Pat Bradley. Both of these buildings have
been so dark that the items on display were hard to really see except on
a very bright day. Now they are well lit, and can be used without having
to drag extension cords over for any activity taking place. Many thanks,
Carroll and Pat.
Speaking of the blacksmith shop, Philippe Ducroc, the professional blacksmith who has made several presentations in the past,
will be at the Museum again on Sunday, September 2nd, from 2
to 4pm to demonstrate the art of making horseshoes. If you
have not seen him in action, you will be surprised to learn all the techniques involved in what appears to be a fairly simple task. Philippe will
also demonstrate during the weekend of Oktoberfest, but the times have
not yet been settled. Try to make one date or the other and increase
your knowledge of a fast disappearing art.
The next Museum project will be the placing of sidewalks to the tack
barn and blacksmith shop, hopefully before the winter snows begin and
the areas become quite muddy. Once these are completed, we can concentrate on the displays themselves, and the cataloging of all the items
in the Museum into the computer. There are about 20,000 items altogether, so this will take some time to accomplish. We hope to obtain a
grant to help provide the necessary manpower to get this job done.
We are always looking for volunteers. We have lost several of our
volunteers this year because of age and infirmity, and we need to replace them. We can always use help with displays, buildings and grounds
maintenance, computer work, archival research, and tours. Almost
anything you might like to do would be helpful. Hours and days are
flexible, so please give some thought to contributing some of your time
to the Museum.
Membership in the Historical Society is $12.50 per person and $25
for a family or business. Admittance to the Museum is free to all members, so there is an advantage to membership. Also, the membership
fee helps us with the cost of operating the Museum.
The Museum is open to visitors on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 10am to 4pm and on Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. It is closed on
Wednesday and Thursday. Admission is $2 for adults and $0.50 for
children. Come visit us and see what changes have been made to our
displays.
If you should have any questions, comments, or suggestions about the
Museum or the Society, please call
us at (505) 682-2932, or write to
us at P.O. Box 435, Cloudcroft, NM
88317.

fancy. Not a one lived to be over three-months old.
“When our last child, Manuel, died, we adopted by wife’s brother’s little
boy who was the same age as our Manuel. We called him Teodoro Duran.
We have three adopted children now. Teodoro, who is married and lives
here in Carrizozo; a girl named Emma Lucero, who was fourteen-months
old when we adopted her, and who is now eighteen and lives with us here
in Carrizozo; and we adopted a baby boy named Isidor Martinez, who was
two-months old when we got him. He is eleven now and lives with us here
in Carrizozo.
“In 1915, my wife and I moved from Lincoln to Encinoso. A man named
Sam Farmer and I put in a general merchandise store and had the post
office too. In November, 1918, I was elected sheriff of Lincoln County
and served for two years. In December 1918, I moved to Carrizozo and
have lived here ever since. “I served as County Commissioner for Lincoln
County from 1906 to 1916. I was Assessor for two years, 1925 and 1926.
I was Treasurer for two years, 1931 and 1932.
“When I was a small child, my step-father left my mother and my grandparents raised me and I took their name of Duran. My grandfather and
grandmother both died while we were living in Lincoln. I do not remember the dates of their deaths. I do not know whatever became of my stepfather. My mother is still living and lives with me here in Carrizozo. My
half sister is now Mrs. Nestora Greigo and lives here in Carrizozo.”
Note: Rumaldo Duran gave this interview in 1938, when he was 58
years old and living in Carrizozo. The interview was conducted as part of
the WPA Writers’ Project, and this manuscript is now archived at the Library of Congress.

stead claim in a beautiful valley surrounded by the rolling hills of what is
now called “Miller Flats.” They named it “Sunny View Farm and Ranch.”
It is located five miles from Mayhill and eight miles from Weed, NM.
My Father, Green E. Miller, was a traveling photographer and was gone
from home much of the time. He took pictures of families, cattle roundups, lumber operation, and many other interesting events. He always
took pictures of the entire school group on the last day of school. He
developed his own pictures in a small dark room, built especially for that
purpose. Many of the mountain people still have some of the pictures.
The negatives were made of glass.
My Mother often rode side-saddle and worked cows as long as she was
able to do so. She could ride and rope as well as any cowboy, sitting
straight in her saddle. When we first moved to the homestead, we had no
milk cows. My Mother asked Mr. John Prather for permission to catch
some of his range Herefords and tame them to milk. He hesitated because he feared the calves would not be as good as the ones left on the
range. She assured him she would take good care of them. When he sold
his calves in the fall, he told Mother she could milk all the cows she cared
to. It was no easy task to tame a wild cow gentle enough to milk her. But
my Mother thought nothing was impossible. She had two mottoes in life
- “Where there is a will, there is a way” and “There will be a way provided.” Then she would go to work and do all she could to provide the
way, and trust God to do the rest. She had great faith, courage and integrity.
We raised most of the food we ate and fed the stock. We had deep
snows all winter and spring rains and that good mountain soil would
grow anything, except the vegetables that require a longer growing season. We had a large garden full of good fresh vegetables - corn, beans,
pumpkins, squash, and hay in the fields. We also raised sorghum cane
and had our own sorghum mill. It was fascinating to watch the horse go
round and round, squeezing the juice from the cane into a long metal vat.
When the vat was full, a fire was built under it and the juice boiled to the
proper consistency for sorghum syrup. Then it was poured into wooden
kegs. It was very delicious with hot biscuits and our own butter. We often
used it for sweetening in place of sugar.
After harvest, my parents would take a wagon load of produce to Roswell
to trade for sugar, salt, coffee beans, and other items we could not raise.
We ground our coffee beans fresh every morning on a hand-turned coffee
mill. We had white corn ground into corn meal by a water-powered stone
grist mill, operated by Mr. J.C. Bell, just above Mayhill on the Penasco
River. We carried the corn on horseback. Mr. Bell kept a portion of the
meal as payment for grinding it. Mr. Jergins on James Canyon ground our
flour as long as he operated the mill there.
We had a good orchard of apples, peaches, pears and plums. We also
had currant and gooseberry bushes and rhubarb. If our fruit trees failed,
Mother would go to High Rolls, Mountain Park and La Luz to buy fruit.
We filled our jars every fall. We also picked Algerita berries for jelly and
went up higher near Cloudcroft, in the Sacamento mountains to pick wild
raspberries and elderberries for jelly. It was great fun to camp out while
we picked berries, although it usually rained while we were there.
Sometimes we would find a hollow tree full of honey made by wild
bees. When the snow was on the ground we would saw the tree down and
get tubs full of delicious honey. It was too cold for the bees to harm us.
We raised our own meat. The winters stayed cold enough that we could
hang a beef in the pine tree in the backyard and it would keep frozen until
we ate it all. Seasons have changed a great deal since then. Hog butchering day was great fun for me. Though, I know now it was hard work for
the ones who did it. I was thankful I need to baby sit.
Mother sugar-cured all the hams and shoulders and salt-cured the bacon, rendered the fat into lard and made the best sausage I have ever
tasted. She also used the heads to make hogs-head cheese. She raised
sage for seasoning. She kept the best cracklings from rendering the fat to
make good crackling cornbread and used all the other fat scraps to make
lye soap in a huge iron pot. We used it for washing clothes on a rub
board and for scrubbing the board floors.
Mother also made hominy in that iron was pot. She used yellow corn
for that. It seemed to have a better flavor. Every year she raised a great
number of chickens and turkeys, and every summer she would take a
buggy-load of butter, eggs, fryers, and fresh vegetables to Cloudcroft. She
made the trip once a week. The people who had summer cottages in
Cloudcroft were happy to get fresh country produce. Mother used the
money to buy material for our clothes and other necessities. The always
gave a tenth of her earning to the Lord’s work. She tithed the produce
and gave it to the minister’s family or some other needy family.
We used wood stoves and wood hauling day was fun. We all enjoyed
hauling wood. We used juniper in the cook stove and pine and pinon in
the heater. Pinon roots, split up, make excellent kindling for starting
fires.
We would take time to pick up pinon nuts by the sack full. That was the
only kind of nuts we had to eat and use in cooking.
We lived in a large two-story house, with a covered porch running around
three sides of it. All the rooms were large in those days. I still prefer
them. During the summer, we used the south porch next to the bedrooms for sleeping, and the north side next to the kitchen for dining. The
front porch led into the living room.
Although Mother had never had professional training, she was a very
good nurse and old-fashioned doctor. People from all around would
send for her day or night, when they had sickness in their family. She
nursed several people through sieges of typhoid fever, including one of
my brothers and two of my sisters. During the flu epidemic of 1918, she
nursed several cases, but none of our family had the flu. We did not
contract any of the so-called childhood diseases, except my older sister
and I had the mumps. I suppose one reason for this was because when
an epidemic was going around, she tied a small bag of asafetida around
each of our necks. She was a great believer in herbs. I do not know if the
asafetida really helped kill germs, or if the odor kept people from getting
close enough to expose us.
This ends part 1 of the Miller family story by Lela Miller Teel, basically
in her words as found in a manuscript in the Sacramento Mountains
Museum. Part 2 will continue the story next month.

Although there was no Family and Community Education Club meeting in August, we still
have some interesting news to report.
At the Artesia-Mayhill Goodwill dinner, we drew the winning raffle tickets. A floral wall
hanging made by Patty Posey was won by Barbara Gilbert of Odessa, Texas. Waneta Snyder’s
“Four of a Kind” wall hanging was won by Lee Schwartz of El Paso, Texas. Clayton Coburn,
of Alamogordo, won the handmade queen size quilt. This quilt was lovingly made by the
following club members - Patty Posey (quilt chairman), Waneta Snyder, Audrey Corona,
Virginia Reed, Virginia Lewis, Mary Helen Foley, Lynn Corona, Jimmy Dockray, Edna Wood,
and our guest Virginia Varbel. The funds raised will support our club’s projects throughout
the year.
On August 13th - 18th, our club joined with the Alamogordo and La Luz clubs to sponsor the
“Homemaking Section” of the Otero County Fair. We set up displays, received entries, participated in judging, conducted the bookkeeping and displayed the entries for the public to
see.
The September 12 th meeting will be at Bluff Springs. We will meet at 10am at the turnoff to
Joyce Komraus’ home. Remember to look for the blue water truck on 130. Then we will
caravan to the picnic area of Bluff Springs. Husbands and guests are welcome. Bring you
own main course and a “picnic food” to share with the group. Bring a folding chair.
Annual dues need to be paid now. Mail them to Joyce Komraus, or bring them to the
September meeting.
If you are not a member and are interested in joining, or you just want to see how much
fun we have, call Marsha Slane at 687-2133.

The Extension Club met July 16th. There was a
lot of business to attend to. Sixteen club members were in attendance,
we were glad to see so many with us.
I would like to thank Gene Campbell for presenting the nice donation
from Dell Telephone to us. We will put it to good use. Thank you again,
Gene.
Our program on Thursday was a self-defense talk from Under-sheriff
Dave Plotner. Thank you Laquita, for asking him to come talk to us.
Ladies, if you would like to join us at our meeting, you are more than
welcome to come. Meetings are held every third Thursday of the month.
The next meeting is on September 20th, we will be having crafts that day.
So if you want to meet new people, join us and have a good time. Remember ladies - every third Thursday of the month in the Timberon Lodge at
10:15am. Lunch is with James and Marie in the Timberline. Hope to see
you there… Keep safe and happy…

The plentiful rains of this summer 2001 have given blessed relief from
the fears of wildfire. July was quiet in this respect. Our EMTs and adjuncts responded to 3 medical emergency calls. Timberon is truly blessed
to have such caring people always ready to respond to any situation.
An EMT refresher course for re-certification will be held September 79 for anyone interested. Contact Louise Kennedy for further information.
Congratulations to Stuart Brown for being named Volunteer of the Month.
We are glad to welcome Linda Martin as a new member of the department.
In addition to those individuals in whose homes 911 calls are answered,
coverage is now provided 8 hours every working day by the TWSD office.

cause there is public lands included sense. The jury is still out as to how much water yield is yielded as a result of
in that grant. Fort Bliss was men- reduction of small diameter tree growth but it does seem to be some water
tioned and Frank advised Fort Bliss yield by implementing that kind of land treatment. The commission is definitely looking at that option as renewable resource for water in New Mexico
and we will continue to do that. Last year the New Mexico State Legislature
appropriated money to the state land office for monies to be spent for the
improvement of state land other than the money they generate through grazing leases. This community may see the first chance of some of that money if
the Sacramento River Water Shed Proposal is approved because the Otero
Zone Water District which is the sponsor of that application is involved with
some land treatment on some state lands involving those two major ranches
on either side adjacent to Timberon. If that particular grant proposal gets
approved this community will receive some benefits of the very first time the
state land office has appropriated money for improvements of state land. If
that grant is successful a letter to the state land office would very much be
appreciated for reaching out and doing some things they have never done
before in terms of improvement of state lands other than the people that have
traditionally been a part of that with grazing leases. These two things will
indirectly affect Timberon one way or another.
Howard advised Timberon has had input into the regional water planning.
They had a couple of meetings in Timberon a few years ago and Gary Scott
does attend some of the meetings so Timberon is not completely out in the
dark. They have a copy of Timberon’s Forty Year Water Plan and as they get
