1t is to be hoped that the commission
ers who 90 to Cuba and Puerto Rico to
arrange for the removal of all Spanish
troops from those islands will make
short work of the matter. The Span
iards on the islands do not seem to real
ize that the war is over, and the native
people are not in much better condition
than they were before war began.
There Will be no peace so long as a
company of Spanish troops remains on
this side of the Atlantic, and the objects
for which American soldiers died in the
trenches before Santiago will not be ac-
complished until the last transport bear
ing Spanish soldiers has sailed for
Cadiz.

Erroneous Impression Corrected

1t has been imagined in some quarters
that with the settling up of the country
and fencing in of the formerly extensive
ranges, the growing Of cattle will be
greatly circumscribed. But a promi-
nent stockman says the reverse will OBJ
tain. All the smaller ranchmen and
farmers will take to growing stock,
so that It will not be confined so largely
% heretofore to the few extensive cattle
raisers. Then there Is sure to be plenty.
This cattle expert called attention to
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio,
Iowa and other states, where so many
thousands Of cattle and sheep and stock
generally are successfully grown and
marketed. He also made q special point
Of the fact for instance, that Ohio grows
and manufactures everything consumed
in the state, so that practically nothing
IL imported from outside. This is one

The Republican territorial convention

Now for the facts as shown by the rec

The present board of county commits
sioners had been in Office just IL days,
when the following remarkable order
was passed, rs shown by page 5 OF the
records Of the proceedings of the board,
on January II, 1897:
I'm the matter of the New Mexico
Land & Irrigation Company, comes W. E.
Gortner, attorney for the said company,
and shows TO the board that there is
standing on the tax rolls OF the county
of San Miguel, taxes against said com.
pany for the year 1896, $7,9s5.43, and
the said w. E. Gortner represents that
the taxes are excessive and should be
reduced or abated to the amount of
~, O3l. 95; and further shows that they
are legal owners of county indebtedness
evidenced by certificates amounting to
81, O31. 95, which they ask be first a.
lowed and paid them before they be re.
quired to pay any Of their said taxes;
and the board after due consideration.
