Western Passenger Association Agree
ment-Other Track News.
The Western Passenger association
at its recent meeting settled the
question which has been such a per.
picking one to railroads-that Of
whether OK not to charge for carry
ing bicycles, baby carriages. etc.
The association declared for trans
portation charges and after Dec. l
the decision becomes operative. The
minimum rate on these articles has
been fixed at 25 cents. The Western
Passenger association comprises all
roads OF the west and hence people
in this vicinity may govern them
selves accordingly. Another import
ant matter simplified by the associa-
ton was the issuance of half fare
permits to clergymen and such 9TH
ers edited to them. Heretofore
each road had to be applied to separ-
ately for this privilege. Now it has
been so arranged that by forwarding
an application blank, procurable at
any railroad office, to B. D. Cald-
well, chairman of the Passenger as
ISOLATION at Chicago, permit on any
road in the association will be re.
turned. thereby avoiding much in
convenience to all parties concerned.

silver and the Ranches.

There are several rank gold bug sheets
published in New Mexico. Perhaps they
are sincere in their utterances, but their
views do not meet with the approval of
nine-tenths of the people residing within
the boarders of this territory. The i'm
mediate vicinity in which these papers
circulate may not be effected by the low
price of silver, but the same is not true
of the territory as whole. Every ranch
man and fruit grower in San Juan county
has been made to suffer and is suffering
at this time because of class legislation,
legislation against the white metal. No
prosperity in the silver camps adjoining
means no market for our produce and
fruit. The result is apparent. Those
ranchmen who are SO unfortunate as to
have plasters on their ranches can not
pay the interest on the debt, to say moth
ing about the principal and their taxes.
Business houses suffer general falling
off in trade, and the wage Garner must nee
essarily receive less compensation for
his services. Neither New Mexico nor the
entire great west can become really pros
porous without better price is received
for her chief product-silver-two or three
Jim crow sheets to the contrary notwith-
standing. 2. Snow listen to their
howl about the increase in wages east of

ARE ALL MEN LIARS?

1t isn't really the fault of the news paper
man as a rule that inaccurate statements
SO often find themselves In public print.
The chief trouble is that nearly every
body, even the preacher, sometimes,
feels justified in lying to the press re-
porters. 1t ought to be made penal
offense to lie to newspaper man. If any
lying is necessary he ought to be given a
monopoly in the premises. Nihe chances
to one he would stick closer to the whole
truth than most men, for when he lies it
sees the light of day in cold type, check
that the ordinary, everyday, allaround
liar doesn't have to contend with. Here's
a subject for the proposed territorial
press association to discuss when it as
sembles at Albuquerque next month.

PLAN OF A PRACTICAL CALIFORNIAN.

A few days ago the New MEXICAN
printed an Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing that Wall street syndicate
had purchased Colorado mine, capital
lied it for 100000 and listed the stock
on the New York stock exchange. The
dispatch emphasized the fact that this
was the first Colorado mining property
to be put up for call in New York and
added that the syndicate was trying to
get ether mines with the same objec in
view.
Now comes the New York World to
the front with the carefully matured plan
of Irwin G. Stump, of California, well
known in mining circles, for making it
safe and profitable to deal in mining
stocks. This the World pronounces one
of the most startling propositions ever
mooted in that region of wonders known
as Wall street, but nevertheless it can
ddly admits that the plan is worthy Of
serious consideration.
Mr.. Stump proposes the organization
of large and reputable company or syn
dictate for the purpose of dealing in gold
and silver mines on strictly business
basis, Just as any other properties are
dealt in, buying and selling mines on a
small commission. He sees no reason
Why the mining business, if properly
conducted, is not az safe and legitimate
40 any other, and is persuaded that the
field may be made most inviting one
for capital. In unfolding his very sensi-
BILE plan he says: "lf a mine-owner wants
TO sell a mine there is no reason why he
should have to deal with sharpers who
will cheat him and then cheat the invest
ors in the mining stocks. II a concern is
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1895-08-10

equipped with the best mining experts
they should do it for small per rentage.
As a result, mining stocks, represent
ing an outlay of money only, and not an
output of wind, would pay dividends and
would be dealt in by conservative invest
ors. If solid company had certified that
they had paid SO much for mine, on the
basis of such and such tests, the investor
would know where he stood"
Unquestionably the practical Cali
fornian is on the right track. The diff
Guilty with what has been properly termed
mining speculation in the past has chiefly
grown odt of the greed of investors for
quick and inordinate profits, and the fact
that rogues. perceiving the expectations
of their clients, have almost invariably
fed this unreasoning greed with promises
of millions in an incredibly short space
of time. OF course such expectations
have usually been disappointed and thus
mining stocks have come to be very gen
orally regarded with distrust.
Mr.. Stump's plan for remedying this
evil so injurious to the legitimate mining
industry, coming at time when money
is loosening up and long idle capital Is
seeking safe investments, is most oppor-
tune. If carried into practical effect it
could not help proving highly beneficial
both to investors and mine owners, and
would, moreover, 80 stimulate the do
velopment of mines that the nations out
put of the precious metals would be large
LIZ augmented.

PRESS COMM EMF.
Comparative Value Of the Different
Cuttings of AIfaIfn.


Cuttings of Alfalfa.
Analyses made by Mr.. Oscar Snow at
the New Mexico Agricultural college, the
accuracy of which is vouched for by
Professor Arthur Goss, show that the
first cutting of alfalfa is much higher in
nutritlve value than the second and sub
sequent cuttings. Taking the value of the
first cutting at 80 per ton, the feeding
value of the second and third cuttings is
only 1925, and that of the fourth cutting
$3.50.
1t is commonly believed that the alfalfa
of southern New Mexico is of better
quality for feeding than that grown in
other parts; but the analyses do not show
this. Sufficient tests have not been made
here or elsewhere to settle this point
definitely, but so far as they go the
Mesilla valley appears well up to the
average, while the first cutting is about
7 per cent above.-Las Cruces Farm and
Orchard.
