TEACHERS COLUMN.
Free Text Books.

EDITOR HERALD-In reply to Superin- tendent McDonald's article upon free text books. 1 wish to place myself upon record as very much in favor of it.
 l have known several instances, where children have lost large portion of the school benefits, because of their inabili- ty to procure books in time; and more particularly has this been noticeable, where pupils have been recommended for promotion, and could not pass to a higher grade, through lack of proper text books.
 Itis true that the present school laws provide way by which the necessary books may be obtained; but when the remedy suggested is worse than the dis ease, few can be found willing to take the medicine.
 It would be far better to limit the number of school months, and give all a chance to attend upon an equal footing, than to continue upon the present basis.

A REGENT Washington dispatch says: The report of the Committee on Territories on the admission of New Mexico into the Union gives that territory more favors than were ever before accorded a candidate for statehood. It provides that New Mexico shall be given four sections of land in each township instead of the usual two for school purposes. Ten per cent instead of five of the proceeds of the sales of public land is given, and the government do- mates 130,000 acres ot public land to aid in the construction of pub lie buildings and the establishment of eleemosynary institutions. MT. Mansur, chairman of the Commit tee on Territories, thinks the bill will pass both houses without any trouble. The committee has been at work at a similar bill for Arizona and will report a satisfactory meas t1ra

Echoes Of GarZa.

San Antonio, Tex, March 22.- A dispatch received here from Gen. Schofeld says that the charges against Capt. Bourke will be rigidly investigated.
 Two of the eases against Alejan- dro Gonzales, brother-in-law ot Catarino Garza, charged with vio- latlon of the neutrality laws, were dismissed by Commissioner Price and in the third he waived examin- ation, as also did Romeon Vasquez, Agapita Candles and Francisco Vera, who were placed under $2,000 bonds each to appear before the United States district court. The bond was promptly given and they will not be examined on March p, as was anticipated.

The question of statehood will no doubt be settled by May 20th, the day set for the democratic ter ritorial convention, If not, the se- lection of delegate must be post poned until later in the season. II it is settled affirmatively 1t will have to be postponed till the con- vention to nominate state officers is held. There will be but one excuse for nominating a delegate to con gress in May, and that will be on condition that the question is definitely settled before that time that Arizona is not to come into the union at this session of congress- ProspectOr.

SAYS the Southwestern Stockman of the 26th ult A delegation from our Live Stock Sanitary Commits sion, consisting of Chairman Town, Hon. J. V. Vickers and pr. A. J. Chandler, V. S., were on this morn ing's train, en route to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to act jointly with a del egation from the New Mexico com mission concerning the late restric- tive quarantine regulations of that state against New Mexico and Ari- zona cattle. It is to be hoped that this joint delegation of representa- tive gentlemen and cattlemen will meet with full success, bringing such evidence to bear on the gov ernor of that state that he cannot but allow the free introduction of cattle from the sister territories to the northern states. All interested in the production and sale of live stock will watch with interest the outcome of this meeting. Our com mission is to be commended for the energetic manner in which it takes hold of this important matter.

Land Matters SlmpIiied.

A special to the Denver News from Santa Fe says: The United States court of private land claims today handed down a decision which will greatly simplify matters brought in future before that tribun- al. This was test case in which the United States attorney filed a demurrer to the petitions praying for the settlement of land grants must state the particular nature of the grant and it's substance, and be accompanied by plat of the land and certified copies of all archives of record. It is not necessary, how ever, to name all claimants to the grant, nor set out the royal author ity of Spain and Mexico for making the grant, nor is a more definite description required than that laid down in the original grant archives. The decision gives much general satisfaction to attorneys and claim ants here, and will greatly facilitate the work of the court.

That Boundary Line.

Col. John P. Baker, paymaster United States army, has just return ed from pay trip in southern New Mexico and Arizona, and from him 1t is learned that the International Boundary commission appointed by President Harrison about a year ago, is now at work under the or ders of the secretary of state loca- ting and working a boundary line between the United States and Mex leo, in accordance with the plans of the convention between the two countries held some time ago.
 It is expected it will take two years to complete it, as the survey will extend from Fl Paso along the border of New Mexico, Arizona and California to the Pacific ocean. The line has never been very definitely worked in some places and the United States will be the gainer in lands, particularly in Lower Cali fornia, which ought some day to be good orange growing land.
 Col. John ". Barlow, corps of en- gineers, United States army, is the officer in charge, assisted by Lieut.. Gaillard. of the same corps. Capt. Walter L. Finley, of the Ninth cav airy. has been designated as quar- termaster of the expedition, and a detachment of infantry and one of cavalry under command of Lieut.. Seyburn and R. G. Paxton have been sent from Fort Bayard to ac- company the party as escort. The headquarters of the party are now at Fl Paso, and they expect to work out about forty miles and then move their camp from Fl Paso to point eighty miles distant, and so on, work ing about forty miles each side of them until completion of the work.

THE name of John c. Herndon is being quite prominently men, toned as a suitable person for Con- gressional honors. THE HERALD believes Shat northern Arizona is entitled to the nomination, and if MT. Herndon wants it, he can and will receive the support of Apache, not only in the nominating conven- ton but at the polls in November. The Democracy of this county, however, have no fault to find with our present delegate. They appre- ciate the work he has done and is doing for our Territory, and in case Arizona is admitted as a state would undoubtedly help send him to the United States Senate as re- cognition of his past services,

AriZOna'S Admission.

Several republican officeholders advance the opinion that the bill for the admission of Arizona will pass the house but will be hung up in the senate, This seems very inn probable, as nearly every man on the senate committee on territories, is in favor of the admission of Ari- zona as state. Wm. NJ. Stewart, of Nevada; Joseph NJ, Carey, of Wyoming Geo. L. Shoup, of Idaho ; Henry c. Hansbrough, of Dakota ; are all western men and are hartily in favor of the bill, while Jones, of Arkansas; Carlisle, of Kentucky :; Faulkner, of West Virginia; Cor don, of Georgia, and Hill, of New York, are democrats and strong sil- yer men, and are naturally in favor of her admission. Platt, the repub- lican member from Connecticut, will no doubt vote against the bill, but there is a strong pressure being brought to bear on Davis, of Min nesota, by influential men who are heavily interested in the territory, and there seems to be a strong pro- bability of his supportingthe meas ure. Jones. of Arkansas, is one of the best friends Arizona ever had in the senate, and is doing some good work for her now. He lead the fight for her subsidy bill two years ago. -PheniX Gazette.

WE have been informed that the Territorial Board of Equalization are inquiring into the advisability of reducing the assessed value of cattle during the coming year. Of course every taxpayer likes to see his assessment reduced, just as much as he hates to see 1t raised without regard to public interest. In the case of the assessed value of cattle, we think the stock raisers have a reasonable grievance. Take Apache county for example. the cattle were assessed at $8.50, sup posed to be .on the basis of what they would realize at public auc- ton. We doubt if bunch of stock cattle put up for auction would draw a bid for $500, $5.50 a head is the highest figure we have heard of be. ing paid for stock cattle in New Mexico. We think that $7 would be a most reasonable assessment of our cattle, looking at the low prices that even steers bring.

A number of Winslow parties have recently made locations in the coal regions 90 miles north of that place. The location is called Chah Sapi coal fields, and IT locations embracing 160 acres each, having been made and a survey made by U. s. Surveyor ". G. Marnon. These coal fields cover a large ex- tent of territory and the quality is said to be excellent and a good deal of it is first class coking coal, and the locators claim that their loca- tions all contain coking coal.
