The winter of 1889 and 1890. so far,

and 1916 enjoyed an open winter.

Buds and flowers were frozen aud
the entire corn crop killed except in

the frosty nights. The heat and

Frost, Ice and snow were com

raise vegetable products failed. The
condition of the farmers is described
~ being desperate. Ahpu, FIVE inches
of snow fell when the rye had been

ropes and with man holding at
each end walked thrO Ugh the field Of
rye. dragging the robe to strip off
the snow from the stalks and head Of

The Canal Problem.

The Annapolis correspondent of

of last week. says the announcement
this morning that bill had been
filed in the Equity Court of Wash.

ment of a receiver for the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. occasiOned no great
amount of interest or surprise among
tine members of the Legislature. The
I bill was filed in the interest of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which
holds $3.50, 900. or majority Of the
repair bonds issued under the act of
1873.
The defendants in the case are
George s. Brown. Georges. Cuttings,
Frederick M. Col5ton and Bradley
T. Johnson, trustees. representing
the bondholdprs of 1914, who applied
for RECEIVER some time ago. 1t is
believed here that while suits are
pending from both the bondholders
of 1873 and those of 1874. that the

the interests from clashing. 1t is
claimed in some quarters that the
Baltimore and Ohio has the call on
the question of the canals restoration

At the Goyeruor's Office

Gov. Prince to-day received a petition
from the Bernalillo county grand jury,
which also bore the signature of Judge w.
d. Lee, asking that q reward be offered
for the capture OF one Jose Gregorio Casa
! dos, OF Nacimiento. 1t appears that this
man, on July 20 last, murdered Manuel
Antonio Gayaldon, and he is now, it is
alleged, at large through the negligence
of the law officers in precinct 20 of Ber-
nalillo county. The reward will be offered
for Casados capture.
At the recent term Of Judge Freeman s
court in Lincoln county, Luciano Ro-
nero was found guilty of assault with in
tent to murder one Abran Betran, and
sentenced to one year in the penitent!ary.
The evidence was to the effect that the
shot was fired without provoCation while
the prosecuting witness Beltran, was sit
ting in the doorway oil Romero's resi-
dence. This was the story told by Bel
tran and corroberated by Romeros wife.
The Woman's evidence went to the
jury without any protest on the
part of Romelos attorney and
Judge Freeman was not informed that
she was Romero's wife. Soon after the
sentence had been passed it was learned
that Beltran and Romero's wife had long
been and still are crminally intimate and
this fact coming to the knowledge of
Judge Freeman and the court officers, a
petition signed by them, the county Off
Gals generally and many citizens of the
county have sent Gov. Prince petition
urging that Romero be at once granted
an unconditional pardon.

Stop This Monkey Business.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
1t was with feeling of disgust that
again read an announcement that Judge
Seeds order had been set aside by three
ordinary, everyday justices of the peace
in Taos county, and it leads me to ask, in
all candor and earnestness, is there any
dignity pertaining to or belonging to the
office of associate justice in New Mexico?
If there is, say it is time for the Judge
holding that dignified position to establish
it and maintain it, at whatever cost. If
the office is simply one in name, with no
powers or functions, ! say abolish the
office, thus putting stop to the monkey
business that for so many weeks now has
disgraced this county this travesty on JUS
tiCe this caricature on law and order

American citizen, one who believes in
that great axiom of liberty that underies

hold those great principles, and it makes
me very weary, using common phrase
of the streets, to see hand-full of ir-
responsible and unprincipled politicians
and their henchmen thus set at de-
fance all law and order, and thus to
make sport, as it were of one of the as
soclate justices of this territory; and in
my humble opinion, and l am satisfied
that | voice the sentiment of a great
! number of the best element of both
Democrats and Republicans, it is time
for Judge Seeds to assert himself and main
tain the dignity of his court, and put
stop to these dis9raceful proceedings that
now rest as blot upon the judicial rec.
ords of this county and territory. If he
has power, under the laws of this terri
tory and the United States, to compel
compliance with his orders, | say, by the
Eternal, enforce it or else surrender, and
thus put an end to it.
This burning disgrace is doing this ter
ritory an irreparable injury, and as one
who believes in Americanism, in the up.
holding of right and justice, law and or

force-by force | am proud of the New

all about, and | believe the day is not far
distant when it will finally triumph over
them. Keep up your lick; your reward
is sure to come. Yours for law and Or

y imely Suggestions,

Go ahead, says the Cerrillos Ruatler,
and let the world know that You have
confidence in the resources proven to
exist. Resources that show ia almost
every creyico of the rocks. Resources
whose output arc filing dozens of cars a
day for shipment. Resources that are en-
ploying labor and supporting families. If
we can't leap and run, ct first, We can
crawl and walk; gaining steadily
by industry until after awhile we will
really be flying, as the saying goes.
There is no reason to be discouraged.
Within a year the demand on our coal
resources has increased 100 per cent.
Many thousands of dollars have been in
vested in other mining interests, which,
if successful, will materially benefit and
improve the town and section. During
the year many good business houses have
been built, and the importance OF Ger
rillos as a trading point has been greatly
increased. Let the good work go on
and everybody assist with good word.
