1t is a notorious fact that the people
of Grant county pay their axe In bet
ter proportion than any other county in
the entire Territory Of New Mexico, and
this alone is an apt illustration OF the
prosperity being enjoyed in this imme-
date section. The tax roll for the year
1898 amounted in round numbers to
over Sill, 900. OF this sum, over $685. 600
has been collected, the exact balance
remaining due and delinquent being
SIS, OBS. 70. In 1897 the roll was $117,OO0
and the collections 500, 900, the balance
unsolicited in exact figures being $2l,-
3S4.97. In both these years the per cent
collected is considerably over 80 per
cent, and these figures would be even
better were it not that the railroads and
all the heaviest taxpayers efused to
settle the levy made for judgments OBJ
tanned against the county, claiming the
same was uncollectible. The balance un-
collected on the 1895 roll has now been
reduced to $11, 300, 900, while only $1,000
remains on the roll for 1896. The people
of Grant county are not tax dodgers.
FOR LACK OF STATEHOOD.
Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
Never in all her long and checkered
history had New Mexico such an oppor-
tunity to reap a golden harvest as she
has at the present time. All the condi-
lions are just right with but a single
exception, and her friends can truthful
ly say to her, as was said to the young
man in the Scriptures, "Yet lackest
thou one thing" And that thing is
statehood. All the other conditions are
good and very desirable, but this is the
one upon which all the others hang, and
if we fail of. that we are likely to lose
our opportunity, and go away Every
sorrowful." Many thousands, even mil
lions, of eastern capital is now ready
to be invested in the development of the
great natural which abound
in every part of the territory, but men
hesitate because we lack what they re-
gard as a stable government.

Gas Ran Wild.

indianapolis, Ind.-Oil is used for
fuel at the State Deaf and Dumb In
stitute, and last week the tank, con-
tanning 10000 gallons, sprung a leak.
and many barrels escaped into sewer
before the mischief was corrected. Lat
err in the day some of the downtown
stores were permeated with a strong
smell of u peculiar gaseous nature, and
in one store a woman tainted and sew
eral had to be assisted in the open air.
The natural and artificial gas compa-
MES were warned of a dangerous leak,
and. after a long search, they located
the cause OF the trouble. Ii Is sup
posed that the escaping oil from the
state institute. upon striking the water
in the sewer. threw off this gas. and
had a lighted match come in contact
with it. it is admitted that the conse-
Quences would have been disastrous.

CHEYENNE'S REFUSE RATIONS,
Contend That the Issue Shall BE the
HoOf.


Some of the Cheyenne Indians living
in and near Kansas have branched out
IN the show business for a livelihood.
Some time ago the commissioner OF In
dian affairs made ruling that the In
dians were no longer to be issued beef
in the carcass, but that it must be
dressed by competent butchers and is
sued on the block The Indians OBJ
jected strenuously to this arrangement,
as they regard the parts rated as offal
by the slaughter houses and packing
houses as the best part OF the beef.
White Shields of the Cheyennes insti-
gated a revolt among the Indians in
the vicinity of Red Moons camp, in
the western part Of Indian territory,
and the Indians refused to take their
beef off the block. Major Woodson,
the agent. then suspended all rations
and the Indians still maintain their in
dependence. \ large part OF the In
dians few weeks ago at the inStiga
ton of White Shields. refused to send
their children TO school. Their rations

yielded. About a third OF the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoe Indians are no
longer receiving ratiOns on account of
their refusal to take their beef off the
block. White Shields, with two other
chiefs-Red Leg and White Horse-is
travelling about over Southern Kansas
giving dances and in this way are
maintaining their independence Of tho
government. Major Woodson, speak
ing OF the Indians in an interview,
says: There are always some of the
Indians who have an Unsuitable desire
to impress the other Indians with their
importance. White Shields is one OF
these. 1 see that a band of Cheyennes
was here short time ago giving
dances. These Indians are absent from
the agency without my consent. In
dams are very much like children and
I have to treat them as such. If they

out of them. Old White Shields has
been the cause OF some of the school
trouble too. He got mad about the
change in the issue OF beef and re-
VOTED. The other Indians wanted new
school houses built, and accordingly I
ordered them erected. White Shields
then got in his work with Red Moons
band and they refused TO send their
children to school. The commissioner
of Indian affairs wrote me TO enforce
the treaty rules and after doing with
out rations for a few weeks they con-
scented to send their children back to

went through ali right. We did up
the Black hills for about six weeks,
playing to capacity and just coming

Then it commenced to chill up
some, and some of the animals that had
been born and reared down around
the equator began to sneeze and cough
a good lot, and SO it was decided to
pack up and trek out of the Black hills
for winter quarters. Old man Bobin-
son was willing to leave after the six
weeks, for he hadn't done a thing but
just make about hundred thousand
dollars cut OF his One-ringer during
That season, and he had been especial

The -wheelers were the Gen.

were We had some trouble in loading

started down the Big Muddy. We
got along all right. except that we
poked our noses occasionally into a

far as Omaha We figured on beginning

weeks later on, which would be max
