THE LEADING INDUSTRY.
(Springer S%tockman.)


1t is, nevertheless, a fact that with
the various large industries of New
Mexico the sheep business is by far the
greatest, ever ~outclassing our mining
and cattle industries in volume of
wealth. And the business is rapidly in
creasing each year. The sale of the
wool clip and lambs bring, several mil
lions of dollars into the territory each
year. 1t may be surprising to many out
side of New Mexico to learn that we
have hundreds. of families that obtain
their livelihood from the increase and
wool of 200 or 300 head of sheep, which
a less than that man. dollars in
vested. This proves that the great in
dustry is extremely profitabl and of
great import to the territory. A great
many of our leading sheep men now got
their start through a few head of sheep
loaned them on shares, and through
persistent patience and in a few years
care of their flocks commenced to lay
in a few dollars and increase their
hocks, all the time the increase and
NoOF paying lLt ehpeIlStS lTUHp lIle
start. But the industry requires strict
attention to business the same as any
other, and those that have attended to
it have made a winning, and are now
independent business men and among
our most conservative men. There Is To-
cal markets for them, and their stock
can at all times be readily disposed of
to outside buyers each year at good
prices, and the lamb crop can be said to
be almost all profit, with a profit on
the wool eve at an ordinary market
price. But the sheep man must take
care of his flocks both in the winter and
the spring lambing season. This is the
secret of the business, as also knowing
how to keep them free from diseases.
The fact increase Of the sheep industry
this territory is gratifying to all.

Pay for Naval Volunteers,

New York, March PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Congress. in the closing hours of the
last session, provided an honorarium
for the naval volunteers who saw ac-
tive service in the war with Spain by
an item inserted in the deficiency act,
which has apparently escaped the at
tention of the men affected, judging
from the fact that only a single claim
under its provisions has thus far been
filed. The clause, which appears I'M
der the heading Naval Establish
ments" in the deficiency appropriation
act. is as follows:
The officers and enlisted men COM
prising the temporary force of the
navy during the war with Spain who
served creditably beyond the limits of
the United States and who have been
or who may hereafter be discharged,
shall be paid two months extra pay,
and all such officers and enlisted men
of the navy who have so served within
the limits of the United States and
who have been or may hereafter be
discharged, shall be paid one months
extra pay"

Gently paid off mortgage on the
house in which the family live in KAN
sas City, His arrest and his subse-
quent indictment by the grand jury
created a profound sensation. The trial
which was postponed several times and
which closed last week was the result
of this arrest.
The evidence against young James
was the alleged confession of one of the
gang of robbers. the identification of
passenger who was on the train robbed
and some minor circumstances which
were only of importance in connection
with the other evidence. Altogether it
made up chain which appeared strong
and irresistible but it was weakened
by cross-eXamination. The case in ia
vor of James consisted largely of evil
dence as to his general good conduct,
the testimony of his own family that
he was at home at the time of the
train robbery and the general sympathy
of the community that he was wrong
fully accused and should be acquitted.
The jury agreed with this sentiment
evidently and when the case was SUBJ
mitted it needed only short time to
reach a verdict that Jesse James, jr.
was not guilty of the crime with which
he was charged.

Dodging the Color Line.

FROM the Troy IlmeS.
The color line can sometimes be lodged
by cleverness. Two sturdily built negroes
entered the lobby of a New York theater
the other night, eyed the box office fur
lively and held a whispered conversation
One OF them finally advanced to the win
dow and said to the treasurer: "Cuanda
cara?' (How much.) The treasurer, who
knows a smattering of Spanish. Conclud-
ed that the questoner was Cuban and
promptly replied I'm peso zone dol

ceived the tickets Going back to where
he had left his friend, he said in hoarse
whisper: 81 told you my Spanish was
good 'nuff, Now we can sit with the
white folks. The two entered the thea
tel and sat in the orchestra. In a few
minutes it became generally known in
their vicinity that the two gentlemen of
color were Cuban ulgnitaries visiting the
city in connection with state affairs
They were wise enough to converse only
in whispers.

Never Eat Canned Beef.

~ VERY fresh phase of the army
beef scandal reveals additional
horrors. Thomas F. Dolln, who
for ten years was killing superiatend-
ent for Armour in the Chicago sicck
yards, declares that condemned beef
was ostensibly cast into the destroy
ing watts to be converted into fer.IlIz-
ers, but that in reality the product
was returned to the cutting rooms and
sashed up for the open market There
is no doubt that large quantity Of this
kind of beef was furnished for the con-
sumption of the American soldiers in
the war with Spain. Mr.. Doan says
that whenever a beef got past the
government inspectors with A case Of

ter house or killing bed" he was au-
thorzed to take his head off. thus re-
moving the evidences of Iumpy Jaw,
and after casting the smitten portion
into the tank where refuse goes, to
send the rest of the carcass on its way
to market. When it is understood that
steer with lumpy jaw is practically
diseased throughout his entire body
the dangers of such rascality will be
appreciated. Mr. Dolan says:
Il have seen hundreds and thousands
of cattle pass inspection that should
have been consigned to the destroying
tanks l have witnessed men tearing
off with their naked hands large tu-
bercles growing along the ribs, intes-
tines. lungs and vital parts of the

Not Chip Of the Old Block.

~HE acquittal of Jesse James, jr.,
the other day spoiled many able
remarks on hereditary crime.
Possibly young Jesse is guilty after
all of the crime for which he was tried
but it is clear that the jury was con-
WINGED of his innocence. The facts are
that on the night of September "a last
a train was held up few miles out
of Kansas City on the Missouri Pacific
railroad and the safes in the baggage
car were robbed of an indefinite
amount of money. Detectives were put
at work at once and in a brief time
arrests were made. and the capture of
the whole gang seemed certain. One
morning Kansas City and the sur
rounding neighborhood were startled to
hear that Jesse James, jr., had been
arrested and indicted for completely in
the train robbery. Young Jesse has
been living in Kansas City for years

been a quiet, well-behaved young man,

Who Owns the Streets.

~ HE New York papers are talking
these DAYS over row of more
than ordinary magnitude be-
tween the people and the street rail-
way companies. The latter are not con-
tent with right of way confined to the
middle of Amsterdam avenue but seek
to lay four tracks. which would prac-
tically destroy the wide street for other
than street car purposes. The contest
has been on for weeks. but it has been
only within few days that the people
have made the necessary Roadway to
encourage them in the belief that they
will win out. During that time there
have been mass meetings held through
out the district. which have called to-
gether large bodies of men and women
and been addressed by men of influence
and standing. The trustees of the Co.
lumba university have adopted resolu-
tons protesting against the proposed
railroad grab" and Mr. Croker has
pledged himself to exhaust his power
to induce the democratic members of
the general assembly to support BILL
which provides that railroads shall con-
fine themselves to the middle of the
road. The conflict is a clear cut one
between the people and the railroads.
In many respects it is a case
of more than local Importance
The railroads, under pretense of
serving the public adequately, ask
to be given free and unlimited use
of the streets. The people, anxious to
obtain adequate transportation facili-
ties are willing to surrender 1.-THE CEN
ter of the avenue, but insist that there
should be room outside of the outer
tracks sufficient to accommodate other
street demands In addition to this
they charge that to fill the streets with
tracks and rapidly running street cars
would be to establish a serious menace
to the lives and limbs of children. The
corporations claim that they are being
unjustly attacked by their enemies, to
which the people reply, with justice
that they are seeking to protect their
own interests against the encroachment
of the companies. The situation, there
fore, narrows down to a question of
who own the public thoroughfares, any
way.

he was in a critical condition,
Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas
was later reported by his physicians to
have passed a comfortable day and to
be resting quietly. The death of Sena-
tor Jones would be national calamity.
Naturally a retiring and studious man
of domestic tastes. he has of late years
developed into strong and aggressive
leader of the democratic party. 1t was
principally due to the activities that he
created that the democratic national
convention of 1896 contained a two
thirds majority favorable to the cause
of bimetallism. Senator Jones is barely
60 years of age and that he may be
spared many years to round out his long
and useful public career is the heartfelt
wish of the whole country.
