A REMARKABLE SITUATIO II.
Facts in Regard to the Pet Eank
Financihring of the Secreta:y
Of the Treasury.

A beautiful system OF financ iering
used by Secretary of the Treasury Gage
in dealing with pet banks" is vividly
illustrated in the story of the sale Of
the cid custom house in New YJrk city
to the National City bank.
The custom house was sofa to the
bank for the sum of $3,2G5,000 The
bank credited the United States on its
books with the sum of $3,215 900, leaving
$4,000 still due, stipulating that so
long as the balance remained unpaid
and the government remained in pos
scssion-at an annual rental of $780,
GOETHE bank should not be held liable
for taxes or water rates. Secretary
Gage assented to this arrangement. No
deed has yet passed.
Now the tax commissioners of New
York city have assessed the custom
house at 100000 and called upon the
bank for the taxes. The latter replied
that the property still belongs to the
United States, and is therefore exempt
from taxation.
The following, then, comprises the re-
markable situation:
The bank has credited the govern
ment with $3,215,000, but it actually re-
ta;ns the money and has the use of it
free of charge.
The government is paying the bank
an annual rental of $780, 600, or, rather,
Mr.. Gage has agreed to pay that
amount.
The bank, while charging rent for
the custom house, objects to paying the
taxes, on the ground that the custom
house is still the property of the
United States.
The bank evades the tax, amounting
to 900 a year.
The bank charges an annual rental
of $130,600 for the use of property
which, it tells the tax commissioners,
still belongs to the United States.
The bank has paid the government
$3,215,ooo, which the government kind
~ allows it to keep and loan out to it's
customers at the usual interest rates.
The government pays the bank rent
money on piece of property which
the latter maintains still belongs to the
government. . ~-3
Of such is the kingdom of republican
pet bank financiering. And the dear
people pay the freight.-Los Angeles

never would have raised his finger to
help Carson but for the Joy of proving
the general unjust, and regimental
pet. the sergeant-a thief"
Yet Gray reverted to this episode as
explanation, of his tolerance of Canker's
harshness and thereby gave rise to a
rejoinder from the lips of o veteran
company commander that many a fel-
low was destined to recall before the
regimen was two months older:
I'm order to settle it, somebody's got
to find his life or his commission in
jeopardy. Maybe it'll be you, Billy, and
I'm betting you won't find Squeers a
guardian angel"
Yet on this sunshiny summer morn
ing, with hope and sunshine and con-
fidence in his handsome, boyish face,
Lieut.. Gray came bounding up to the
presence of the regimental commander
as though that sour-visaged soldier
were an irdulgent uncle who could not
say him nay. A stylish open carriage
in which were two remarkably pretty
girls and gray-haired, slender gen.
tleman, had reined up in the street
opposite the entrance to the row OF
officers tents and Canlzer had ripped
out his watch, with an ugly frown on
his forehead, for three of his compa-
MES had just marched in from drill,
and three of their young leutenants,
on the instant of dismissal, had made
straight for the vehicle and he half
hoped to find they had Topped off q
minute or so of the allotted hour. The
sound of merry laughter seemed to
CRATE on his ears. The sight of Gray's
beaming face seemed to deepen the
gloom in his own. Instinctively he
knew the youngster had come to ask a
favor and he stood ready to refuse.
Colonel, I'd like nightly to go over
and see that review this morning, sir;
and Mr.. Prime is good enough to offer
me a seat in his carriage. May go,
sir?'
''You can't go anywhere, sir, with the
tents of your company in that disgrace
full condition. Just look at them, sir!
as ragged as wash line on windy
day." And Canker scowled angrily at
the young fellow standing squarely at
attention before him.
II know that, colonel, but the sun did
that while we were out at drill, and the
men will straighten everything in ten
minutes. I'll give the order now, sir"
And Billy looked as though refusal
were out of the question.
"You'll stay and see it done, sir, and
when it's done-to my satisfaction
will be time enough to ask for favors.
Mr.. Gordon, send word to the company
commanders wish to see them here at
once" continued the senior officer,
whirling on his heel and terminating e
the interview by so doing. 1t was in
Gray's mind for brief minute to fol-
low and plead. He had made it tell
many time with an obstinate universi-
ty don, but he knew the carriage was
waiting-the carriage load watching,
and deep down in his heart there was
keen disappointment. He would have

house as well as any that you have in

given a big slice of his monthly pay
to go with that particular party and
occupy the seat opposite Amy Lawrence
and gaze his fill at her fair face. He
well-nigh hated Squeers as he hurried
away to hail his first sergeant and give
the necessary orders before daring to
return to the carriage and report his
failure. His bright blue eyes were
clouded and his face flushed with vex-
alton, for he saw that the rearmost
regiment was even now filing into the
Preside reservation afar off to the
north, and that no time was to be lost
if his friends were to see the review.
The distant measured boom of guns
told that the general in whose honor
the ceremony was ordered was already
approaching the spot, and away over
the rolling uplands toward the Golden
Gate a cavalry escort rode into view.
Billy ground his teeth. run and tell
them I cannot get leave" he called to
fellow sub. ''Squeers has set me to
work Strengthening up camp. Turn out
the company, sergeant! Brace the tent
cords and align tents," and a mourn
full wave of his forage cap was the only
greeting he dare trust himself to give,
as after few minutes of fruitless wait
ing, the vacant seat was given to an
other officer and the carriage rolled
rapidly away. A second or two it was
hidden from his sight behind the large
wall tents along the line of fence, then
shot into full view again as he stood
at the end of the company street look
ing eagerly for its temperance. And
then occurred little thing that was
destined to live in his memory for many
a day, and that thrilled him with new
and strange delight. He had never been
Of the so-called "spooney' set at the
varsity. Pretty girls galore there were
about that famous institute, and he had
danced at many a student party and
romped through many reel, but the
nearest he had ever come to something
more than mere jolly friendship for a
girl was the regard in which he held
his partner in the "mixed Doubtless"
but that was all on account of her ex-
uberant health, spirits, general come
liness of face and form, and exquisite
skill in tennis. But this day new
and eager longing was eating at his
heart; strange, dull pang seemed to
seize upon it as he noted in a flash that
the seat that was to have been his was
occupied by an officer many years his
senior, man he knew only by sight
and an enviable reputation, man
whose soldierly, clean-cut face never
turned an instant, for his eyes were
fixed upon a lovely picture on the op-
posite seat-Amy Lawrence bending
eagerly forward and gazing with her
beautiful eyes alight with sympathy,
interest and frank liking in search Of
the sorely disapp pointed young officer.

new MEXICOSHEEP AND WOOL
Governor 0tero in Answer to an Inquiry
from Boston Gives Some Valuable and
Interesting Information.
100000 SHEEP In The TERRITORY

In reply to an inquiry by s. N. D.
citation of Wool Manufacturers, Boston.
Mass, Governor Otero has sent the fol-
lowing letter Of information in respect
to the sheep and wool industry in New
Mexico:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt Of your let
ter of the 31st ult., asking for infOrma-
ton regarding the average weight of
fleeces and the average percentage of
shrinkage for 1900, and in reply will
state: % Weight Of fieeces and aver
age percentage Of shrinkage.-Owing to
the remarkably mild winter Of 1899 and
1900 together with the abundant rains
which prevailed during that season and
up to shearing time, the weight of
year than for a number Of seasons past.
The heavy rains washed out of the wool
the sand and dust which it usually car
ries, and the wool growers report con-
siderable less wool per head than they
obtained last year. For 1899 the aver
age weight per fleece was 5R pounds,
but this season it will probably not ex-
ceed Az pounds. The percentage Of
shrinkage for 1899 was about 55 per
cent The shrinkage, however, this
year is considerably less. as the woods
are all lighter, and the average shrink
age will not be over 50 per cent
2. The number of sheep.-Last fall
there were fully 100000 head Of sheep
in the territory. Owing to the grain
situation, there were very few shipped
out by feeders, and as the losses during
the past winter were exceedingly light
the number given by the department of
agriculture on April /, 1900 (3,7S6, ,6SS) is
practically correct. OF course, this does
not include any Of this years lambs,
as the lambing season does not begin in
New Mexico until the latter part of
April. From all parts of the territory
come encouraging reports regarding the
lambing, in many sections exceeding 80
per cent.
while the production Of wool de-
creased during 1900, the clips came into
the market in better condition than for
many years past.
Growers still continue to improve
their herds with choice strains Of De-
laine and Rambouillet Merino rams and
the quality of the wool grown in our
territory increases in fineness each
year. Respectfully,
M. A. OTERO,
Governor of New Mexico
