shipped seven carloads of cattle from Winslow Saturday to Kansas.
 The fourth annual meeting of the Oaklahoma Live Stock Association was held Feb s and at Woodward, Okla.
 The number of cattle brought into this country from Mexico in 1897 was very large. In 1896 there were i'm ported POO, ,563 head; l47 ,534 in 1896 and 295, ,S5s in 1897.
 Stock cattle last month sold up to 8 on several days at Kansas City, but they were fancy. Last January the top was s4 25. And yet the top for beef cattle in the two months was just the same, says the Droyers' Tele- gram.
 Arizona Range News: The Texas Raisers' Association will hold it's an- nual convention at Fort Worth, March s, and 10. The Second An ,nual Fat Stock Show is scheduled for the same dates and large attendance is assured. The price list is ready and may be had on application to D. o. Lively, the secretary at Fort Worth.
 Cuba has been almost denuded of cattle, and since the raising of the embargo ordered by General Weylet the island has been drawing about Is.GOO head monthly from Mexico. An effort is now being made to secure a part of the trade for Texas, and it is believed that there will be demand during the current year of 100000 head for the Cuban markets alone.
 Arizona Range News: It is re- ported that yearling and two year old cattle are being imported from Mex ico and Canada, scheduled as calves, thus escaping the higher duty which they should pay under the Dingley law. The loophole in the law which allows this is said to have been point
 
 ed out by Secretary Wilson and a provision was inserted in the bill to cover the matter but in committee the provision was stricken out.
 Phoenix Herald: During the past year 267 ,034 head of cattle have been shipped out of the territory which at an average of sl5 per head should make the cattle trade of the territory amount to S4, 900, ,5l0, business that is at least respectable in the cattle dimes Of course our sheep and hog in- .dustries would swell the live stock in- dustry of Arizona enormously, for both are in fiourishing condition and large shipments to outside markets are made during the year.
 Stockmah: It was hoped that the inspection of cattle from Arizona to points north and east, would not be made this year at New Mexico and Colorado points, as was done during the past few years by the authorities of Colorado aud Kansas, but it seems that the same practice will be indulged in, even though these states cannot exactly agree as to what they want, or what to do. It has al- ways appeared to this journal that the inspection of our cattle at way points after leaving our borders, is only subterfuge for the collection of fee, which we still believe. Frequently the cattle are never seen; the man who has charge of the shipment gives the data necessary to report, and upon payment of the fee is allowed to depart with his cattle. It is heavy tax to pay, after paying the inspec-

been changed, since it has been learned
that Cuba must be surrendered, and now
the cry is to Bring the bones of the
great ~discoverer home" One Spanish
paper says:
They are ours, ours alone. Spain
cannot abandon them. They represent
for Spaniards all Il religion--the religion
of our incomparably splendid past: the
religion of the country of liberty, for
Columbus alone did not creat the great
power Of Spain; he alone did not make
her famous, placing her in a position
above all the nations of the earth: but,
as an illustrious writer has said, he car
| ried out the work of God, revealing to
us the new world, redeeming its savage
inhabitants, and rendering real the
mystic redemption promised in the Cru
cifiXion.''
That is all very fine and pious, and pos
sibly the Madrid editor believes this, or
hopes to make others believe he believes
it. There are really some fine touches in
it-that about the country of liberty"
for instance, meaning Spain. The fact
is this is the only chance Columbus ever
had to rest his bones in u country of
liberty, now that Cuba is about to be
freed from Spain.
1t is true that Columbus, thanks to
the progressive Queen Isabella, helped
to place in SPANS hands great power
and wealth, and what was his reward?
To die in poverty, neglected by the land
and sovereign he had enriched, the nn-
grateful and selfish Ferdinand.
If the Spanish will stop to consider
the matter for a moment they will real
lie that in all probability, Column
bus bones are now beyond removing
and have become a part of mother
earth. 1t is some time since the italian
navigator quilted his troubles and sor-
rows brought on by the ingratitnde of
the country which he aided in max
ing great at one time, and should a
search be made in his tomb there would
be nothing found to remove to the land OF
an ''incomparable past Could Column
bus be consulted in the matter, as he
was a man of progress, he would in no
| uncertain tones demand that what little
there may be left of him remain in a
land governed by a country which has
kept up with the times. Four hundred
and six years after gratitude has been
earned is a little late to begin to show
gratitude, and Spain will do well to let
the dead rest, forget the glorious past
and endeayor to catch up with the Goth
century.

New Mexico Industry Threatened.

The action of the commissioners APP
pointed by the United States and Can
ada for the purpose of adjusting the
trade, sealing and fishery differences be-
tween the United States and the Do
minion of Canada, is of considerable in
terest to New Mexico.
One of the things the commissioners
for Canada are trying to accomplish is
the restoration of the old reciprocity
provisions of the old trade treaty be-
tween the two countries, which would
be all very nice for the Canadians. I'm
der that treaty in 20 years !Canada's
trade with the United States grew from
So, OOO, 900 to $4,000, 900 per annum,
while the trade of the United States
with Canada decreased from SO. 500, 900
to So, 900, 900. The industry in New
Mexico which would suffer from such an
arrangement is wool growing. Can
adian woods are of a superior quality,
equal to those raised in any part of the
United States, and should the tariff be
removed under the operations of reci-
procity it would not be long until the
New Mexico sheep men would feel the
effect of that competition in the reduc-
ton of prices. 1t is true that at pres
ent the wool product of Canada is not
very large, for the reason that the
United States is the market for the
northern %tleeces. Under the present
tariff that market is almost entirely cut
off. but with the bars let down, the
Canadian farmers would rapidly in
crease their flocks and become large
sellers in the markets of this country.
In Quebec, where the session of the
commissions are held, the lumbermen,
wood pulp paper makers, and other
manufacturers and industries of the
United States, which are threatened by
the possible enactment of reciprocal
provisions, have their representatives
looking out for their interests, but the
fockmasters and wool dealers are not
represented. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the wooden manufacturers of New
England have ever endeavOred to have
wool placed upon the unprotected or
free list for reasons not difficult of dis
cernment, and it is safe to say that the
free wool men are we'll represented in
the Canadian city, doing all that is pos
sible to provide for the admission OF
wool grown in the Dominion at the low.
est possible rate of tariff, and free il
that can be accomplished.
To the territory of New Mexico the
possibilities of free wool from across the
northern borders is not a very cheering
outlook. The sheep growers have no
organization and by reason of their
scattered locations cannot send repre-
sentatives to Quebec, but the big dealers
in the staple ought to take the matter
in hand at once and send some one to
look after that interest. Low prices for
wool makes business slack in the terri
tory and no one would derive greater
benefit from the maintenance of the
present tariff than the big buyers of
New Mexico, and they should lose no
time looking after a matter of such
great importance.

The Dolores Romero Case.

In the investigation of the charges
made against County Commissioner Do
lores Romero, of Union county, held
before Governor Otero on yesterday, it
was shown that in many OF the cases of
malfeasance and misfeasance in office
charged against the board Of county
commissioners of Union county, of
which Mr.. Romero is a member, he
either did not vote or voted against the
action proposed and that such was car
.ried out without his participation. In
other cases he proved that he acted in
his official capacity upon the advice Of
the district attorney, the boards legal
adviser. In the principal charge, that
of having received payment of illegal
mileage, he entered a complete denial,
and there was no evidence adduced to
sustain the charge.
: Governor Otero, after a patient and
thorough investigation, concluded that
the charges were not proven and dis
missed the case. 1t made no difference
to the executive that the accused was a
Democrat. He was accorded q fair,
thorough and courteous hearing, and the
governors action was based upon the
charges, the answer to them, the facts
adduced and arguments of counsel.
Even handed justice was dealt out in
the Ease by the governor, which, of
course, was to be expected, but which is
very refreshing and agreeable, when
compared with the actions of Democratic
executives in similar cases, when Replb-
licans were removed upon the flimsiest
pretexts and simply for political reasons
and to make Democratic political capital.

One Precious Volume Treasured by the
Great Literary Man.
Twas but a little torn volume, but the
great literary man priced 1t more thar

He had come across it many days agone
at IA secondhand bookstall, and when he
| saw the price mark, 5 cents, above the box
! where it lay with many others in scattered
confusion his eye lit up with a deep and
holy joy. Selling it in his grasp, he hur-
ried with it into the store, deposited q
nickel upon the counter and, without
waiting for the shopman to wrap it up, he
placed it in an inside pocket and walked
home, his head high in the air.
What dreams, what a~nticipations, what
Civilizations, had not that little tome called
up in his fevered brain that day!
Then he was "a poor student, waiting for
a chance to please the public with his
writings. His success had been small, il
any, and sometimes he vas half inclined
to give up the struggle. Indeed, such We're
his straits that more than once he allowed
his eyes to roam over the "Help Wanted,
Males column in the voluminous Sunday
papers. But then Immediately there would
come renewed determination and fresh re-
solve, and he would conquer the tempta-
ton to apply for work.
Work? No, IA thousand times no! He
would be a literary man in spite of every
thing!
Then it happened that he came across
this little book that had proved of such in
calculable value to him in his vocation,
for he was now one Of the literary giants
