evident; but its performance does not
come up to the programme. Those who
have heretofore relied upon it's power
are beginning to grow doubtful: and the
majority, who have all the while scoffed
at its pretensions, are confirmed in their
skepticism. The committee must speed
lily secure some big appointment if it
hopes TO preserve credit with its fol-
lowers, who are beginning to tire of con-
tributions to a fund ostensibly for the
purposes of party organization but real
ly to defray the expenses of frequent

We observe that the National Bank of
North Dakota, located at Fargo, and the
First National Bank of Lakota, of Lako-
ia, n. D., have both been closed by the
Comptroller of the Currency. These
banks were both run by E. A.. Mears.
For some years past Mears has sent Gin
culars east giving very roseate view of
his institutions and soliciting invest
ments. Mears seems to have been the
Dwiggins of North Dakota. A lot of lit
tie banks were established by him in va
rious parts of that state, Eastern men
having been induced to take stock in
them by the promise of IL per cent in
terest. Since 1891, however, no dividend
has been paid. None of these banks
had over $4,000 OF $4,000 on deposit,
and the most of them not SO much.

The High school.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, Aug. III am very glad to
see the resolution passed by the Board Of
Trade as to the use of the university
building for our highest public school.
1t will be a saving of expense as well rs
economy of effort to bring all the larger
children into one building instead of
having them scattered through the ward
schools. Besides, that is the usual way in
all large towns. Albuquerque and Las
Vegas have built expensive structures for
high schools, and then have schools for
the small children in each ward. We
ought to have built high school before
now, but the expense has prevented it.
1t seems as if it is almost providential
that just at this time the university build
ing can be obtained for the purpose, and
at almost nominal cost. This enables
our board of education to put our schools
on modern basis Mt once. Nothing is
so much needed as this. We can not ex-
pect good families to settle here till there
is full provision for their children. There
are many children now sent off to institu-
tions in other places who ought to be
educated here, and this will enable them
to stay at home. 1t gives better hopes
for the future of Santa Fe that high
school can now be established. Let the
school board act at once.

AMONG oRCHARDIsTs.

Postmaster Weltmer's fine orchard in
Tesuque valley is flourishing. He has
commenced budding several hundred
young trees with nectarine and cheice
apricots.
Joe Anderson, the gardener who has
charge of John H. Knaebel's orchard,
brings the New MEXICAN sample of
apricots that can not be excelled in any
land. In size and flavor the apricots
from this orchard are truly enticing.
The Foster st. John is superior new
peach ripening here for the first time this
season. 1t is a yellow meat, free stone,
of rich exterior color, very firm whom
ripe and appears to be a better peach
than the early Crawford. Grant Riven-
burg imported the stock from Huntsville,
Ala. His young trees yielded some 200
pounds of fruit this year.
Mr.. Cockrell, entomologist at the Las
Cruces college, has received from Cali
fornia lot of diminutive beetles, and
the parasites upon which they subsist.
These beetles came originally from Aus
tralia, where the species is highly es-
teemed as an instrument for the destruc-
ton of insects which prey upon trees and
vines. Mr.. Cockrell will liberate these
warriors in the Mesilla valley, and it is to
be hoped they will devote all their ener-
gies to the determination of parasites
common to orchards and vineyards.

Z. S. LAND COURT.
Decisions Confirming the Gaia del Rio
Grant and Against the Canon
de San Diego Claim.

III the L. S. Court of private land claims
this morning Chief Justice Reed rendered
the opinion of the court confirming the
Gaia del Rio grant to the extent of the
area claimed by the boundaries set forth
in the petition of Messrs. Spiegelberg,
Felipe Delgado, Toribio Ortiz, ct al, the
court adding that the conflict touching
the location of the northern boundary
could be settled when the survey was
made and the return presented in court
for approval, as provided by law.
This is a very valuable tract of some
10000 acres lying bet Heen Aqua Fria and
the Rio Grande in western Santa Fe
county. J. II. Purdy and n B. Laughlin
appeared us attorneys for the claim
ants.
This decision by the chief justice, con
Cured in by n full bench, settles very
important question affecting grants
which the U. s. attorney contends were
made for agricultural purposes only, and
should be confirmed for the area actually
cultivated, exclusive of the grazing lands
and water rights which, the U. s. attorney
argued, were held in common to be utilized
only so long as the cultivation of the
fields kept up, thereafter lapsing and be-
coming part of the public domain of the
United States. The court holds that the
expression in the grant that pastures and
waters shall be held in common and free
for all, intended to signify that they
should be reserved to the children and
legal representatives of the original
grantee, not in common to all the world.
In the matter of the Canon de San
Diego grant, involving 9752 acres in
Bernalillo county, covering the famous
Jemez springs, Amado Chavez ct al,
claimants, Mr.. Justice Sluss announced
the opinion of a majority of the court,
dismissing the petition; this was concur
red in by the chief justice and Justice
Fuller. Dissenting opinions were rem
dered by Mr.. Justice Stone and Mr.. Jus.
tice Murray. These opinions are both in
teresting and important and more ex-
tended reference thereto will be made in
these columns tomorrow.
This forenoon the court was occupied
IN hearing case No. So, the Tacoma grant,
calling for $4,000 acres in western Santa
Fe county; N. B. Laughlln representing
Desiderio Gomez at al, claimants.

Additional Exhibits.


Ex-Gov. Prince, acting secretary of the
Worlds fair board, has issued circular
letter announcing that the A., T. 4 8. F
R. R. company has agreed to send car
to the Worlds fair to carry the summer
exhibit Of the territory without expense.
The car will leave Las Cruces August ~,
and will stop at Socorro, Albuquerque,
Las Vegas and Ration, and at any other
points that may be requested, for the
reception Of articles. Thus the method
10 afforded Of sending large and credita-
BILE collections and the result depends en-
tirely on the public spirit and enterprise
Of the people.
Grasses and unthreshed grain are need
ed to show their full height, and grain in
bulk to show its grade and quality.
The best vegetables of all kinds should
be sent. Fruit is very important item.
Experience has shown that the softer
fruits can not be sent with safety in their
natural condition, and these should be
put in jars. The articles can be left with
the station agent until the passage OF the
car.

GRIM e CALENDAR.
Two Shooting Scrapes - A $4,000
RobberyGreen Goods Kicker
Recaptured.

The Indians at Santa Clara pueblo cele-
brated their annual feast on Saturday,
and it was witnessed by fully 1000 peo-
pie, many going from this city on an ex-
cursion over the narrow gauge road. In
the midst of the festivities Vidal Sanches
and Manuel. Lobato, two Mexicans, in
dulged in Il shooting scrape, over San
ches' wife, ii is said. Sanches opened
the ball by firing at Lobato, and an I'M
known bystander received the bullet in
his forehead. The missile struck tho man
between the eyes and glanced upward
out at the top of the scalp. He will
probably recover. Deputy Sheriff Err
hart was on the ground and arrested the
two men. They were brought in on the
train Saturday evening and placed in
Jail.
The two men had a preliminary hear
ing before Justice Garcia this morning
and waving examination we're bound

$4,000 and Lobato for $500.
BIG HAUL.
Jose Roibal Martinez, ain aged and
we'll known resident of Abiquiu, mourns
the loss of $4,000 in gold hoardings. On
Thursday last two men unknown to the
inmates of the house appeared during
Mr.. Martinez absence and forced the
women to reveal the whereabouts of the
family wallet. They secured $4,000 and
taking two of the best horses on the
place made good their escape. The
money was buried in the earthen floor
of one of Mr.. Martinez rooms. At
another point in the premises he had
buried $4,000 in coin, but the robbers
had no knowledge of this and left salts
fed with the booty they secured. They
rode to Espanola and on Friday left near
there the horses they were riding and
stole two fresh ones from Mr.. A. Douglas.
No clew to the present whereabouts of
the robbers.
RRgAPTURED A CROCK.

Is last. Kicker was taken after hard
chase throughout the southwest at
