OPPOSED TO A LEASE Law,
Sheep Sanitary Board Opposed to Plan Of
,Monopolists.

The sheep sanitary board, at it's meet
ing at Albuquerque December Z, unan .
imously adopted resolutions in opposi-
ton to the enactment by congress of a
law for leasing the grazing lands of the
west, as follows:
whereas, 1t has been called to the
attention Of this board that an effort is
about to be made to secure the passage
OF an act of congress providing for the
leasing of the grazing lands belonging
to the public domain in the western
states and territories, therefore,
Resolved, That the sheep sanitary
board of New Mexico hereby protests
against the adoption of such a law as
n well calculated and intended to eff
feet the destruction of the small stock
raiser, and to throw the whole sheep
and cattle business Of the Rocky noun
tain region into the hands Of great COM
binations of capital in the form of pools,
trusts or corporations, who Will dictate
the terms upon which western stock
raisers will be permitted to exist, and
who will be greatly facilitated In their
efforts to create a monopoly of the prin-
cipal food products of the country"

Corn That is Profitable.

Kaffir corn, which is grown by many
of the farmers of the Pecos valley and
fed in place of Indian corn, gives more
feed per acre and better results than
the latter variety. Within the last few
years Kansas farmers have grown this
variety of Egyptian corn because It
stands drouth better than maize, and
this ear the product in that state was
worth 81, 500, 900. Although katir grows
wherever tried in. the southwest, few
farmers in New Mexico know anything
about it, so slow are agriculturists to
attempt to utilize anything to which
they are not accustomed. kaffir corn is
not anything like maize in appearance,
and in the field looks more like sorghum
cane or millet. The heads are punches
Of small hard grain, not much larger
than grains Of wheat, and not covered
by shuck nor grown on a cob. The tops
are cut off and fed in the rough or
threshed out Horses grow fat and sleek
when fed upon the grain, and remain in
good condition when worked. There IS
no waste IN gram OF THIS KIM. Inc
Katfir makes good coarse -four for grid
die cakes, and is fully as nutritious as
corn meal or buckwheat -four. Cultiva-
ton Of this cereal requires less work
than does Indian corn, and less irriga-
ton is necessary for it. Every farmer III
the territory should experiment with
Kaffir, and many will, if they try this
cereal. give up growing Indian corn,
and other causes more than the kaffir.

The Bill for Statehood.

The enabling act for the admission Of
New Mexico as a state, introduced by
Delegate Pedro Perea on the first day
OF the present session Of congress-, was
referred to the committee on territories
and ordered to be printed. 1t is similar
in form generally to bills introduced in
other years for the same purpose. 1t
provides for a constitutional convention
to be held, the delegates to be elected
on the eighth Tuesday after the pass
age of the act, and to assemble on the
fifth Tuesday after the election. The
delegates to which the counties would
be entitled would be as follows: Ber-
~nalillo, II: Chaves. 1; Colfax, 4; Dona
Ana, S; Eddy. /: Grant, 5; Lincoln, 2;
Mora, 5; Guadalupe, 2; Rio Arriba, 6;
San Juan, /: Union, 2; San Miguel, 10;
Santa Fe, Z; Sierra, 2; Socorro, 5; Taos,
5: Valencia, 7. The bill as printed does
not provide for the county of Otero,
which was doubtless omitted through
inadvertence, and can be recognized by
a correction of the bill before action is
taken upon it. An election would be
held on the first Tuesday of next No
vember by the people to adopt or rejec.
the constitution if one We're prepared.
The presidents proclamation would fol-
low adoption of the constitution, and
New Mexico would take the status of a
state.

Hiahest Court Against Trusts.

The supreme court or the UNITED
States has done much to redeem itself
from the oft-repeated charges of too
much sympathy with corporations, by
declaring that the Addystone Pipe and
Steel Company was guilty of a conspir-
acy against the trade in forming a COM
bination with other companies. The
much maligned Sherman antitrust law
has been sustained, thus establishing
the right of the United States to re-
strain trusts which are against the in
terests of trade and the public. That
the particular form Of combination of
which the pipe company was guilty is
not the one now most in vogue does not
matter, for the decision establishes the
principle, and congress can forbid bust
ness combinations which are for pur-
poses similar to hat Of the n directly
involved in this case. The law had been
sustained previously as to railway conf
binations and traffic associations, but
there was doubt whether it would be
applied to local corporations and manu-
featuring enterprises.

to keep UP interest payments upon
bonds which in some instances should
never have been voted, even If they
We're not in any illegal. The bond
holders in many cases purchased at
rates that enable them to make conces-
sions without the counties being
charged with reputation, and will be
glad to make fair arrangements at low
er rates of interest. There can scarcely
come a better time for adjustment of
such debts, which only grow larger by
waiting for interest and judgments to
accumulate. The county and munich
pality that lessons its debt and keeps its
interest and current expenses paid up
saves money in every deal and in every
purchase, for cash payments secure
lower prices for services and material.

Good Time 10 Adjust Bond Debts.

Mora county, like Santa Fe and San
Miguel, has taken measures to secure
the scaling of a bonded debt that is bur-
densome, and upon which interest Is not
paid with sufficient regularity to please
creditors. Probably all counties which
have excessive bond issues will soon be
able to refund at reduced interest and
upon long time, for cheaper money car
be had than ave before on New Mexico
securities. There Is more confidence in
the ability Of the counties to pay here
after If new covenants be entered into,
for industrial and financial conditions
have improved in the territory, and
promise to improve much more during
the next few years. The era Of extrav-
agance has been passed. The debts
recklessly incurred by counties and mu-
resulted In such hardships
upon taxpayers that they have suffered

Mexico. Already have they made con-
tracts of sale Of arid lands sufficient to
bring the sum Of $3.50, 900, and condition.
al sales which may bring that much
more. Negotiations are we'll under way
for the transfer Of other lands to the
value of nearly $100, 900, the lands hav-
ing g selected and propositions made
for their purchase at the price fixed by
the legislative act creating the land
board, While the funds have not been
paid over in any instance, yet the pur-
ohasers have shown their good faith
and expended considerable sums in get
ting ready to use the lands they are to
acquire. And as soon as the officials OF
the interior department approve of the
selections, which may be in a few weeks
or a few months, the deeds will be made
and the money paid into the hands Of
the territorial land board to be appor-
toned as the legislature may direct, to
the various purposes for which ongres
Intends the proceeds of the sale Of the
lands. In addition to these sales the
and board has leased for cash entail
numerous school sections, the sale of
which is now prohibited, the proceeds
to go to the school fund.
There We're those who thought when
the law was passed fixing the sale price
Of lands at So per acre, which is far
above the necessary cost Of securing
land from the national government I'M
der the United States laws, the board
would be unable to dispose of any of the
arid area which settlers had not shown
disposition to accept as a gift, or to ac-
quire at slight outlay. But the land
board began active efforts to find inter
ests to undertake irrigation work and
other enterprises which would justify |
the purchase of the territorial lands.
The measure of success achieved in the |
first year is gratifying to the board, |
and will be appreciated by the public !
when the money becomes available for
the maintenance OF schools, and other
public interests, and the establishment i,
Of needed institutions.

and Dodson had fallen out over
something, but it is not known
whether the difficulty was seen by
anyone else or not. Dodson picked
up a Winchester rifle which was
standing near him, and fired, the
ball penetrating Hector's heart and
causing instant death.
Dodson volunteered to go after a
doctor, and the officials in charge of
the work-house, not knowing that
he had committed the deed, let him
go, and since then he has not been
heard from.

DECORATION DAY.
Graves of Ex-Confederates Covered with
Floral Tributes.

Ora yes of Ex-Confederates Covered with
Floral Tributes.
The decoration of the Confed-
crate graves in Rose Hill cemetery
last Wednesday was a most touch
ing and interesting event. The
exercises were under the direction
of the Daughters of the Confederacy,
who deserve much credit for the
manner in which the program was
carried out.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
procession left the corner of West
Seventh and Garden streets, a good
sized crowd having assembled there
with vehicles. After the arrival of
the procession at the cemetery
Hon. w. B. Gordon, Master of Cere-
monies, opened the exercises with a
few appropriate remarks. Rev,
Baker P. Lee led with a touching
prayer. "Auld Lang Syne" was
then sung by chorus of voices, and
Rev. Mr.. Lee delivered short, but
touching and patriotic address,
which was listened to with intense
interest by the audience. The sweet
strains of 1.-THE Bonnie Blue Flag
were sung by the chorus, Misses
Louise Barbour and Ross Shelton
and Mrs. Weaver leading in the
verses, and Maryland" and one oil
two other songs were sung, after
which came the benediction, and
the crowd then dispersed.
While the exercises were in pro.
gress the graves of our faller
heroes were lovingly strewn with
floral tributes, bevy of little girls
strewing flowers on the graves
while the little boys hung wreath'
over the head-stones.

WOUND PROVED FATAL.
The Negro Burglar Shot by Officer Goad
Died Friday.

The Negro Burglar shot by Omcer Goad.
Died Friday.
The negro burglar shot by officer
Goad last Thursday morning near
the depot, died last Friday morning
at Eli Bowers place on South Main
street, and was buried that evening
in the potter's field.
As stated in last weeks HERALD,
the negro gave his name as James
Earl, and said that he lived near
Nashville. He also talked to the
officers concerning his pals and the
course they took in their flight. Just
before his death, however, he con-
fessed that all he had told them,
even his name and address, was
false, and refused to give his correct
name or tell where he was from.
The ball from Officer Goad's pistol
glanced the lower part of the negro 8
| spinal column and passed through
his bladder. He lived about sixty
| hours.
Officer Goad states that there were
only three of the negroes, instead of
five, as stated last week. During
his flight from the officers the dead
negro dropped pistol from his
pocket, which was found the next
morning.
Friday morning Officers Goad and
Lancaster took up the trail of the
two negroes who escaped, and fol-
lowed it as far as Pulaski, but were
forced to give it up there and return
home. The men were heard from at
several places, and it was learned
that they had discarded their old
clothing and donned the new cloth es
which they got at J. d. Blount q
