U. s. LAND COURT.
Three Important Opinions Handed
Down This vi Canada dc
Las Mestenas Case on Trial.

The United States court of private
land claims, with Chief Justice Reed pre-.
siding and all the associate justices pres
emit, resumed work this morning at the
federal building. Opinions we're handed
down as follows:
In the Ojo del Apache grant case,
wherein May Hays claimed eleven leagues
of land in San Miguel county, Judge
Fuller handed down the opinion of the
court, holding that the grant, having
been made by an alcalde and not in pur-
suance with the governors grant, was
void. The petition was accordingly dis
missed.
In the Miguel and Santiago Montoya
grant case, involvinga tract of land in
Rio Arriba county, Judge Murray handed
down an opinion of the majority of
the court confirming the same. Judge
Sluss dissented.
In an opinion of the court by Judge
Reed, the Lo de Padilla grant in Berna-
lilo county was confirmed to the Isleta
Indians.
The Canada de los Mestenas grant case,
involving lands in Taos county, is on
trial, Mr.. Catron representing the claim

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
scotch Syndicate Figuring ON q Large
Investment In the PecOs Valley
Instructive Notes.

A week or so ago Secretary Miller re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Stewart, repre-
senting capital in Scotland that seeks
profitable investment in the United
States, propounding a series of pertinent
questions touching the success of the
sugar beet raising experiment in New
Mexico and intimating that himself and
associates might conclude to engage in
the production and manufacture of sugar
beets in this sunny and resourceful
region.
Mr.. Miller promptly referred Mr..
Stewards letter to Mr.. A. @. Campbell, of
Eddy, one of the active promoters of the
Pecos Irrigation & Improvement CON-
pany, and has received very complete
and satisfactory reply thereto. Mr..
Campbell intelligently and fully answers
the questions seriatim and accompanies
his reply with carefully prepared blue.
prints and much printed information re-
garding the soil, climate and water sup
ply of the Pecos valley.

the best roots found?" Mr.. Campbell
says: eve beg to refer to blueprint
herewith attached showing the result Of
experimental acres grown in the Pecos
valley, comprising the counties of Chaves
aud Eddy, last year. The analyses Of
beet roots were made by an English
chemist of unq uestioned ability and en-.
tirely unbiased The results show higher
saccharine matter than has ever been
found in the sugar beet root, so far as we
are advised, throughout the entire world
As to the number of acres in the Pecos
country available for the purpose indi
Gated, Mr. Campbell replies that there
are not less than 100000 acres of irriga.
BILE land, classed as high grade beet land
lying under the irrigation canal systems
of the Roswell Land & Water company and
the Pecos Irrigation & Improvement
company, the entire area being practi-
cally meadow-like land.
Touching the value of land that will
produce from $50 to 800 per acre gross
per year to the farmer, Mr.. Campbell
says it is difficult to make estimates, but
adds that high grade lands under irriga
tion in the Pecos valley, capable of yield
ing the maximum tonnage in sugar beets
can be purchased for from $40 to $50 pei
acre and that from 10000 to $4,000 acres
of such land could be obtained IN the
valley.
Mr.. Campbell then gives detailed in.
formation regarding the irrigation sys
TENS of the Pecos country, the unbound
ed water supply, the superiority of the
soil aud climate, the thrift and industry
of the people, the cost of labor and living
and the success that has attended the
sugar beet culture experiments in the
valley.
The Importance of this correspondence
will be realized when it is understood
that the Scotch syndicate mentioned con.
templates an investment of 9750,O00 in
the sugar beet industry.

A SEND-OFF WITH EXHIBITS

Minot Mirror: Editor Taylor, of the
Washburn LEADER. while in the city this
week took occasion to pay his friends
Il visit. Mr.. Taylor was the first man to
publish II newspaper in the Territory of
Dakota. His brother, also a newspaper
man. was the first man in the Territory
convicted of criminal libel and Mr.. Tay-
lor himself is the first man arrested ON
tina! charge III the State of North Dakota.
His case. in which he WAS here at this time
to defend. was dismissed and is therefore
at M end. He has been thirty three years
iii the Territory and State-0ne of the
Md timers. He neither drinks rum nor
uses tobacco in any form, and this is The
first time he has ever figured rs principal
in amy case in court. He is Il hale and
hearty maj for his age, and does his days
work at the case .'et with com parativ..
ease. He has made Il good paper out of
the Washburn LEADER and has n large
number OF readers in this county who
are also his persona friends.
To the above kindly send-off by Bro.
Wilson, we feel compelled to add Il gloss
ary or more properly an explanatory note:
1t was not the first paper in the Terri
tory that Taylor published but simply tn e
resurrection Of the first. The Dakota
Democrat was first published by 81 town
site company in tho early sixties, at Sioux
Falls. After issuing a few numbers the
press and PRINT shop was destroyed by a
Sioux war party. In commencing the
publication Of his new paper II the sum
mer of 1868, Taylor simply resarrected
the old name-Dakota Dem ocrat. At
that time there we're two other weekly
papers in the Territory, viz: The Vermil
lion Republican and the Dakotaian. of
Yankton-l,o.h Republican. The editor
of tho Vermillion papcr-Ed. Barker-af-
terward edited the Fargo Republican and
later ON a Hlllsboro paper. Editor Kings
bury yet guides the destinies Of the
daily Press & Dakotain of Yankton. S. D.
A year or so after tho suspension of the
Democrat, Maris Taylor who had been
assisting on the defunct journal, i'll COM
pany with Captain Sin.hiscr,-who af-
terward cut some figure in Bismarck's
Q .rly history-started the Dakota Herald

remain an indefinite period ut the

There was one other case for the
consideration of court, A. G. McGil-

McGillivray's horse ranch is located

HERE are some facts that are
worth. considering: For thirty
years, from 1865 to 1894, the reve-
nues of the government never
failed to exceed the expenditures.
In 1892 there was a surplus of
S145,543,S1o. The excess Of reve-
nues over expenditures in 1890
amounted s85,o4o,271. When the
Mckinley bill went into effect
the surplus dropped to S~o,o14,453.
After the Wilson law passed the
tide turned, and instead of a sur
plus in 1894 there was a deficit of
S6o,So5.223, while for the present
fiscal year it will not fall below
S2o,ooo,ooo. During the four
years of President Harrison's adj
ministration the revenues of the
government were S124,ooo,ooo
more than expenditures, while
during the first two fiscal years
and ten months of the present adj
ministration they were $4,000,
600 less. The abrogation by the
Wilson bill of the reciprocity trea-
ties alone cost the country hum
dreds of millions. The high tide
of our export trade was reached
in 1892, the year following the ne
gotiation of the reciprocity treat
les. The exports that year were
S1,o3o,278,14S. In that year the
exports of agricultural products
alone amounted to s754,48o,843, a
sum nearly as large as the total
exports for the year after the trea-
ties were revoked. During Six
teen months of the Wilson bill
our imports were S1o7,ooo,ooo
more than during the same length
of time under the Mckinley law.
This sum represents only a small
fraction of the money which the
Wilson bill cost OUT manufactur-
ers and wage earners. The goods
represented by this S1o7,ooo,ooo
should have been made in Ameri-
can factories.
