merrily on. At 1920 President Elliott
raped for order. He said an import
ant step was taken in setting aside a
day for good roads discussion. He as
serted that the side path was a good
thing, but it, was not certain whether
wheeling men was justified in building
them as it retarded the good roads
movement. Chief Consul Potter, of
New York, as the chairman of the day.
received an ovation when he assumed
charge Of the meeting. He was in
troduced by Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff,
who made brief speech. J. Cohen,

TreaSurer's RepOrt.

Samuel Eldot. New Mexico territorial
treasurer, has made his biennial report
to the governor. From Dec. 3, 1894,
the total revenue raised by the terrific
ry during 1895 was S137, 976 80 and dur
ing 1896 S2S4, ,659.9S. The expenditures
during 1895 were $3.50, 52S.32, and dur
ing 1896, S246, 42l.17.
The total assessed valuation of the
territory in 1895 was S41 ,14O, $50. 81.
Bernalillo county has almost double
the taxable property of any other
county. In 1896 the appropriations
amounted to SITS, ,906.75, and the cash
receipts were S13O, ,26S47. The de-
mocratic legislature of two years ago
squandered SIS, 7SO.70 for extra en-
ployes. On November 2S, 1896, the
various banks of the territory held
on deposit S32, ,3O1 81 of territorial
funds.
The report shows that the agriculture
al college at Las Cruces has received
from the United States treasury since
Nov. "a, 1890, the sum Sl4S,00
The report of the treasurer shows
that the territory is steadily running
in debt, and reveals the gross misman-
agement of many past democratic
gislatures.-CitiZen.

LOUIS PAPN DEAD.
He Expired This Morning After a
Struggle With Pneumonia.

| Louis Papin, one of the best known
and most respected men in this part OF
the country, died at $50 this morning
of pneumonia. He was taken sick Oh
| the second inst and Notwithstanding g
careful attention grew gradually worse
until Sunday night his life was
despaired Of Yesterday hope was
given up, and this morning he was gone
at the age of Al. The remains are be-
ing EN- balmed by Emerson and Berrien
preparatory to shipment to Somerset,
Ohio, his wife's home, for interment.
Louis Papin has for years been iden
tilted with this country. He was born
and raised in ST. Louis where the
Papin family were the original settlers
Of the city and descended from French
stock of high degree. Louis was
student at st. Navier's Catholic col
lege and it is said also at the college of
the Christian brothers. At the age of
seventeen he removed to Somerset.
Ohio, where he met Miss Mary Scott,
whom he afterwards married in 1886 in
the Catholic meeting house on North
Oregon street. In 1877 or 1873 Mr..
Papin came into this country for his
health. He was one of the party who
went out from Hillsboro, N. M, to bury
the settlers slain by Victoria's gang,
and after having his horse shot under
him by the red skins was carried off by
cOmpadre on the latters morse and
narrowly escaped with his life.
Mr.. Papin was for while at Deming,
and in 1888 entered the service of B.
Schuster and later that of L. j.
Prudential & Co. in chihuahua, re-
moving later to this city where he
continued his valued relations with
the firm up to the time of his death.
He was elected Ito the city council in
1890, and it is probable that he would
have been the democratic candidate for
mayor in April next, had he lived.
The deceased leaves wide circle of
friends to mourn his loss with his fami
ly. He leaves a wife and two boys,
Roland aged 9, and Henry aged 10.
Mrs. Papin is very much fatigued with
caring for Roland who has been i'll for
sometime and with care and anxiety in
the case of her husband. Mr.. Papin
died at his place of residence, 601
Magoffin avenue.

now on corn entering Mexico is 55
cents per fanega-300 pounds, but it is
