TFIE TIMES AS A TAX-DODGER

It was Roscoe Conkling who
said that the only persons compe-
tent 20 use the plural I'VE" we're
editors and men with tapeworms.
The San Juan Times newspaper has
no editor in fact; Whitehead is
merely a scribbler, and the ex-jus-
tice Of the peace who holds down
the forms can hardly write his own
name with a slate pencil, Not be
ing a real editor, Whitehead must
of necessity fall under the other
classification, for he uses the first
person plural pronoun as freely as
a man with the itch uses his finger
nails.
It's we, the horny handed tax
payers; we, the people; we, the
Democrats; we, the legislature, and
we, the administration, the supreme
court, the government and the devil
knows what all. A few weeks ago
Whitehead and his interior zoolog-
ical annex emitted a joint and sew
eral wall running to the effect that
We notice that we have to dig
down in our pockets the same as
before" to support public schools,
ETC., and &C we object to the way
our taxes are determined and
distributed,
Now then:
If any one, proprietor, scribhler,
foreman or other individual avow-
edly connected with the San Juan
Times has paid any taxes in San
Juan county during the past FIVE
years, the records do not show it.
The tapeworm may appear on the
tax rolls, but Whitehead never
does. What's more to the point,
the Times newspaper has not paid
a copper cent of taxes for Eve years
past; there is in all, including fines
and penalties, probably $so-good

A CrdAmery's Chance


It goes without saying that there are
many industrial and commercial enter
prisas that could be exploited in San
Juan county today very prohtably to all
oncerned, but among them all there lie
no one that offers easier or more certain
possibilities Of profit than would acream-
cry located at any one Of several points
that might be named. Such at least is
the delibrate judgment Of those persons
who have investigated the matter in its
"details and whe speak from the stand
Psiut Of practical experience.
The butter market is the one steady,
Ell the year round proposition Of the San
Juan region. Today, the best creamery
article retaile at 30 cents a pound in
Durango aad the demand is in excess Of
the supply.
AZ stated, there are many localities in
which creamery could find a suitable
field in San Juan county, However, it
is probable that under present condi-
tions the opportunities in the region
around Flora Vista will be found more
favorable than elsewhere. 1t is estimated
that cream from one hundred and City
70 two hundred cows could be gathered
at Flora Vista today, and with the estab-
Iishment Of q creamery the numbeg
would be at once increased From that
locality alone there are now about three
hundred pounds Of butter shipped 10
the Durango market each week, many
ranchmen sending from fifteen to thirty
Pounds each week, while some greatly
exceed that figure
Some advantages which Flora Vista
in common with various other sections
of the county can offer for the location
OF a creamery, are itu abundance Of hay
at low price, plenty Of water for stock
throughout the year, and, during part Of
the season, free range, The ranches
are numerous and the work Of gathering
cream would not be hard, nor the dis
tances long. A creamery Of three hun
dred pounds capacity daily would prob
ably be none toe large for astarter, The
delivery Of the finished product could
be arranged for easily, one or two triPt
week Of wagon equipped, il neces-
sary. with an ice chest in summer
would be sufficient to get the butter tc
Durango in first-class, marketable cor
dition,
Any creamery expert who wants Z
"sdre thing" at a small investmsnt q
cash, can do no better than to turf Biz
attention to San Juan county, New Mex
leo. For We've got the cows, we've
4 get the -creaps we've rot the market
too"
Almost any Of the citizens and partic
ularly the rsnchmen Of the county car
furnish information along these lines
and would no doubt do so gladly. AZ
the suggestions herewith were raainly
obtained from Mesars. @. NJ ronkinsor
and NJ. L. Page OF Flora Vista, We give

ANGLICAN CHURCH HERE.
Question of it, status Will Be De-
cid-d n xI October.

Whatever may be ones personal
Views as to the right or wrong of the
natter, the recent acton of the
Society for the Propagation OF the Cos
pei, in ceasing to make the customary
grant to the church in this diocese, and
the printed circular recently put forth
by that society, which latter will be
found on another page OF this issue O.
the Chronicle, would seem to be final
withdrawal of the Church of England
and of the S. p. c.. from any further
connection with the work OF the church
in the diocese of Honolulu. The ques-
ton as to the future character of that
work is therefore narrowed down to
one involving the relations of the
church in the Territory of Hawaii to
the church In the United States. In
considering these relations 1T is evil
IDENTIFY necessary to have in.view fact
which is apparently lost sight of by
some, viz; that the diocese of Honolulu,
in ceasing to receive assistance from
the Church Of England, did not cease to
be a diocese, nor was 1t mission OF
the Church of England In any such
sense as to enable the Church of Eng
land to hand over the work here and
I the control of property to the church in
the United States. The Bishop of Ho-
nolulu, as we understood it, claims in
dependence of all control and for this
diocese the same rights that belong to
any national church.
If these claims are admitted. then the
church in the United States must treat
with the Anglican church in Hawaii as
an equal, 50 far as the distinctive
rights of independent dioceses are con-
cerned, and If there is any union it
must be with the consent of both par
ties. How the church in the United
States will look at this matter remains
ITO be seen. It's general convention will
meet in San Francisco in the month of
October, 1901. Then the whole question
will come up for settlement. In. case
There should be IA union of the Anglican
church in these Islands with the church
! in the United States. these Islands
would no longer form a diocese but a
! missionary jurisdiction, and the Bish-
OPP. if the present Bishop should resign
> and another Bishop should be appoint
ed. or if the present Bishop should re-
main in charge, would be under the di-
rection and control Of the church in the
United States. This arrangement would
be rendered necessary by the numeri
cal and financial weakness of the pres
e lent organization here. There is, O.
course. the possibility of the church il
the United States ignoring the exist
ence of the diocese Of Honolulu ant
s sending Bishop to take charge O
o such work as might be begun here un
% der the auspices of the American
church. or of putting the Territory il
o charge of some Bishop Of the American
< Church already consecrated. but thi
. plan. II seems to us. Is not likely to b
- followed. 1t is. however, among tn
possibilities.-Church Chronicle.
