The Land Court.

The senate bill extending the term of
the court of private land claims to June
of next year will meet no opposition in
the house, as it has the support of the
general of the United States.
The court has cleaned up the docket in
the Arizona grant cases, and may settle
all contests in New Mexico in another
year. There is a very strong support to
the proposition to give this court juris-
diction in land litigation in the Philip
pine islands, Porto Rico and Cuba. The
Judges have had excellent opportunities
to become acquainted with Spanish land
laws. Their decisions have generally
stood in the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, and there has been an utter
absence of any charges of favoritism IN
the work of the court. 1t is fortunate
for the country that in the nine years
since the organization of the and court
no justice and no attorney representing
the government has resigned or died,
because the continuous service has en-
abled public and private interests to be
considered intelligently by these spe-
cialists in Spanish land laws. The gov
eminent might secure other judges tc
adjudicate island land disputes, but
could scarcely find five who would give
the complete satisfaction achieved by
the judges Of the court Of private lane
claims.

THE STATEHOOD PROSPECT.
As 1t Is Considered At the National Gap.
s.1

A Washington correspondent writes.
Ex-Delegate H. B. Ferguson, of New
Mexico, who has been here for several
days, believes the prospects for the pas
sage of a New Mexico admission bill are
very unpromising.
He finds hat it is confidently assert
ed that Oklahoma and Arizona will both
enter the Union in advance of New
Mexico. The only argument against ad-
mission which is proposed is the old ia
miliar one of lack of a%daptability on the
part of the native population for state
hood, being the same false allegation
that has been urged against the Oldest
of the territories for the last forty
years. Delegate Perea, on the contrary,
claims to be quite confident Of success.
His hopes are based mainly on the re-
cen visit made by the chairman of the
senate committee on territories and
other interested parties in the south
west. 1t is, however, regarded here as
certain hat there will be no action on
the New Mexico admission bill before
election, and the chances r wholly
against such action at the session Of
congress after election.

construct such a system was establish
ed by able counsel, three attorneys Sc
lected by the city passing upon the
question. The city hoped to place the
bonds on a 31s per cent basis, but could
secure no bona fide bid for them. The
bonds vi now be changed to bear 4
per CEN interest, in the hope of load
ing them off upon buyers, New Mexico
has within the last few months sold
capitol bonds at a premium, which bore
but 4 per ent interest. Albuquerque
and Roswell have lone likewise. Evil
IDENTIFY Denver has been losing credit in
financial circles under mixed political
responsibility, while New Mexico has
made a great advance under a Repub-
lican administration. The whole credit
should not go to the new era of pros
perity in New Mexico, for the same
prosperity has reached the live stock,
agricultural and mining regions of Col
orado as well, and Denver is on the up
grade again.

The American SUGAR Market.

Those who fear that the sugar indus
try in this country may be swamped by
competition from American islands do
not consider how rapidly consumption
Of this product is increasing. The is
lands and the beet growers of this coun-
try cannot keep up with the growing
demand. Exclusion of sugar from Eu-
rope will preserve the American mar
ket for American producers.
Twenty-eight years ago the total pro-
duction of beet sugar throughout the
world was but 1920, 900 tons, and of cane
sugar, 1889, 900 tons. The total amount,
therefore, of sugar of both kinds raised
and consumed in 1912 was but 2,619,-
900 tons, and the price Of sugar at that
date was 5.37 cents a pound. This high
price is accounted for by the scarcity of
the commodity. There was lot nearly
enough raised to go around among
would-be consumers, and those who
wanted the article and had the money
to pay for it got 1t, but at a high figure.
Since 1872 the increase in the pro-
duction Of sugar has been steady, but
has assumed immense proportions. In
1882 the production of beet sugar had
risen to 1,782, 900 tons and OF cane sugar
to 5000. 900 tons, the price having then
fallen to AL cents. In 1892 the pro-
duction of beet sugar had swelled to
almost twice its quantity in 1882, and
amounted to 3,501, 900 tons. Cane sugar
meanwhile was not fl%ourishing so we'll,
for in 1891 92 the cane crop of the world
amounted to only 1852. 900 lonesome
what less than ten years previously.
The price in 1892 has still further
dropped to 2.s3 cents.
In the year 189S-s9 the amount of beet
sugar raised throughout the world was
$50, 900; and thus, altogether, during
this past yea the entire amount of su-
gar raised amounted to S,414,O00 tons, as
against 2,619,00 0 tons In 1872.
During the twenty-eight years period
therefore. the sugar supply rose from
2,61s.O0 tom to S,414,000 tons, from
which it appears that considerably
more than three times as much sugar
was consumed in 1889 as was con-
sumed in 1872. The Anglo Saxons are
easily the greatest Of sugar,
the British, Americans and Australians
using two OF three times as much of It
as the average Of other nationalities.

The party of railway officials and la
dies from Chicago, who were led by Gu
riosity to visit a gaming house at Sill
yer City, will hereafter confne their
stunning to the gambling dens Of Chi
cago. While taking in the sights Of
what the party considered a wild west
town, the women folks were arrested
by a justice Of the peace. He would
have fined them $50 each, as he does
other feminine visitors to saloons and
gambling houses, except that next
morning they submitted a written state
ment from a silly city marshal. that he
consented to the tour in violation Of the
law. In no well-regulated town in New
Mexico (and most of them are well reg
ulated) is any class Of women permit
ted to visit saloons and gambling
houses.

Farm and RANCH.
The Year 1900 Will Be q Record Breaker
In Ohaves County.
(Roswell Record.)


The farmers and ranchmen of Chaves
county are not caring whether this year
is the beginning Of a new century or
not, ts,bE they all seem determined to
make 1t the best and grandest year for
the farm and ranch interests in the
history of Chaves county. Improvement
is the cry on every side, while n and
all advocate expansion-in their partic-
ular line of business.
A busy and interesting sight meets
the eye on every hand as goes owe
the country, and the talk Of the farmers
would convince the most skeptical that
these tillers of the soil believe this the
best locality on earth.
On the Slaughter ranch just east of
town the Roswell Land and Water
Company are putting out $50 acres of
alfalfa on the Cunningham tract, and
Harry Hamilton, the local manager,
will plant 200 on the Pierce tract. This
with the alfalfa already on the place,
will make 600 acres to be harvested this
year.
Barnett & Moss have drilled a large
stock we'll west of George Urton's ranch
and took a 16-foot Eclipse windmill out
from Seay, Gill & Co.'S Monday. These
gentlemen will build a drift fence south
west from the M. v. Corn ranch to the
Block fence, which will give them a
splendid range of about 100 sections of
land.
w. ]. Wilson, manager of the old
Chisum ranch, has a force of men at
work making many improvements
about the old place. In addition to the
$1,000 barn Just completed, Mr.. Hager-
man intends building a fine residence
for himself, to cost some $4,000 to Sl5,-
900. Mr.. Wilson will also erect some
ranch houses for the men. The alfalfa
planting of this year will amount to 600
acres. which, added to the 400 acres now
on the ranch, makes an even 1000 acres
probably the largest alfalfa ranch In
New Mexico.

ments and busiest places to be found u

j. w. Stockard's chicken and dairy
farm four miles southwest Of town. A
few weeks ago he purchased the Ed
Long place of George l.. WHY'S, and
has already expended $50 on it in i'm
provements. 1t is fitted up with all
sides, buildings for other stock. There
are incubator houses, brooding houses,
dairy house, and everything to make
the place convenient. The primary in
tention of this venture Is to supply the
Central hotel with milk, butter, eggs
and poultry. The first brood of chick
ems Matched last Monday, and from
now on they will average n brood Of
$50 chickens per week. Mr.. Stockard
will also raise Belgian -hares. and has
been offered by a st. Louis hotel %
cents per pound for all he can raise for
a year.
w. G. Triton is hauling lumber while
a force of men at the ranch are putting
it into a barn. He will also plant a good
acreage of new land in alfalfa and 9TH
err crops. He also has the building of a
s., 1000 house on the program for the
summer. This, with the artesian well
and reservoir already built, will make
Riverside one of the finest farms in the
country.
Mr.. Hagerman is making improve
ments not only on the Chisum ranch,
but his Felix ranch comes in for a
share Of his attention. He is making ar
rangements for the building of quarters
for the men and a house for the super
intendent, besides extensive cattle
sheds. Here, too, will be planted 100
acres of alfalfa, and several sections of
grass land will be inclosed for pasture.
These are only a few of the many i'm
provements being made, but will serve
to show that the country is keeping
pace with the growth of the town.
Roswell is the best town in the best
! county in New Mexico.
Roswell will o TEEN with busy
men, engaged on the sewer system, and
the water works, and the electric light
plant, and-and-well, we would not ad-
wise people looking for work to come
here financially broke.
The setting out Of shade trees and the
filling up Of the cutters is commend
able. Roswell is making sure steps, and
none Of them backward.
The making of little dwellings over
the landscape proves that people of the
best judgment are satisfied that the
bone and muscle of Roswell will not be
gathered in by Shylock or ground by a
crushing heel.

The Santa Fe county Republicans, in
convention assembled, spoke in no UNI

ments made by a correspondent of the
Albuquerque Citizen in last Fridays Is
sue of hat paper al to the conduct Of
the Republican primaries in this coun-
ty. Every primary held to elect dele
gates to the county convention was
peaceful and orderly, and called to or
der by the proper chairman. There was
a free and fair vote, and more interest
than ever before was manifested. This
is the fact, and the Citizen, in common
justice, ought to acknowledge it.

1t turns out that the buffalo reserve
asked for by Buffalo" Jones and
king, was in part once claimed by
Goodnight as a Spanish grant. Failing
to keep his clutches on the land, he asks
that it be leased free for twenty years
to Buffalo" Jones, who can then assign
to Goodnight. The reserve would in
clude half of Eddy county and one

FOR STATEHOOD.

The way to bring statehood to New
Mexico does not consist in making a po-
litical issue out of it, but in making a
strong pull and a long pull at the ma
TONS capital. 1t does not lie in our abil-
ity to work politics, but more in proving
our efficiency in running our territory
and proposed state. The Republican
delegate to congress, with the valuable
aid of the many friends New Mexico
has got in Washington, and the recon-
mendations of Governor Otero ought to
be a good step toward persuading a Re-
publican congress and a Republican
president that New Mexico, with it's
many industries and natural resources,
is willing and ready to assume the re-
sponsibilities that statehood entails.
Without any danger of future discredit
on the party or people who would be In
strumental in our admission as a state?
The few opponents Of statehood in our
midst can be classified as of the Petit
grew type of politicians, who see moth
ing in any cause except it Is done I'M
der their auspices. Let the majority
have a voice and W. may rest assured
that the northern part of New Mexico
will ratify an enabling act by a two
thirds vote. Give us statehood, add a
new star at the present congress to our
Union, and you shall have a state to be
proud of. the slanderous opposition
through the press Notwithstanding.
