SELECTING PLUM TREES.
European Plums are the Best Varieties tC
Plant in New Mexico.

press Bulletin Of tho New Mexico CO.
lege Of Agriculture Experiment Sta,
ton
The time of blooming is the keynote
to the selection of varieties for this eli,
mate" No matter how good and profit
able a variety nay be in other states
or how widely it is advertised, if in
New Mexico its blooming period is SC
early that the main crop of blooms is
destroyed by the late spring frosts, then
such a variety would be of little or nc
value here. Such is the case with many
we'll known Japanese plums, of which
we have already spoken in a previous
bulletin. However, the European plums
are better adapted to our high altitude
and dry climate. They are generally
late boomers, thus insuring good crops,
Different varieties of this type are be-
ing grown with satisfactory results
throughout the territory. The varietic7
of the European type are very numer-
Gus and cover a long period in lipen-
ing; there is also such a wide range in
sizes and colors hat a selection Of var
il les can be made for nearly any pur-
lcse for which plums are used.
Twenty varieties of the Eurol can
plums have been tested in the eX1eri-
ment station orchard at Mesilla Park
and during the last SIX years a retrd
of the blooming and ripening periods Of
these plums has been kept; also des-
criptions of each variety have been
made. All are good, and with W ex-
ceptions, late boomers, blooming after
danger Of frost is over. The Tragedy
and Clyman are what may be called
medium late boomers, being usually in
full bloom about March 26, when danger
of frost is not yet all over. h Clyman
seems to be a better cold resister than
the Tragedy, as it usually has a better
crop, ranging from a fair to a heavy
one. The Clyman is a promising plum
especially because it fruits very early.
1t can be placed on the market as early
as the Wild Goose. Most of the varie-
ties in the test tend to over-bear, and
in order to secure large fine fruits hea-
Wy thinning is necessary. This is es-
pecially true of such varieties as the
Royale Hative, Imeprial Gage, Bulgar-
ian, Fellenberg. Ponds Seeding, Vel
low Egg, and French Prune.
1t is usually unsafe to make a gener-
al recommendation of varieties of any
fruit. The value of a variety lies not
only in it's intrinsic merits. but in its
adaptations to the personal likes of the
grower, the markets, and other eXter-
nal conditions. However, the following
are a few of the varieties which now
seem to bs valuable. for general use

Organized Labor.

The convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor at Louisville, KY. is a
reminder that organized labor is be-
coming stronger again throughout the
United States. Labor unions have Won
a number of important victories during
the year, the most noteworthy of which
was the anthracite coal strike, and nat
urally that has brought home to the in
telligent wage worker the fact that in
union alone the laboring la and the
mechanic can find strength enough to
resist any oppression on part of capital.
The laboring man, too, is applying the
trust principle of combination, in place
of competition, to his affairs. This trust
spirit, both on the part of the men who
work, as we'll as the men who have cap
ital, if unchecked, will lead o or
later to the socialistic state, a gigantic
trust controlling all industries and oc-
equations, of which the directors are
elected by the people and whose policies
will be controlled by the will of the ma
jority.

That the British leaders have no re-
sentiment against the Beers is shown by
the fact that Lord Roberts at Durham,
on his way home, advised moderation
in treating the Beers. He said: And
now in the spirit of liberty, truth, JUS
tice and freedom, we are prepared to
extend these privileges which other
Englishmen value, to those who have
been fighting against u.s." 1t is the
same spirit that Americans manifest
towards the Fflipinos and clearly shows
that the An~glo-SaXons are the leaders
in civilization. Other nations would
first think of exploiting those people
hey have conquered and not of extend
ing to them the blessings of liberty and
civilization.

HON. DANIEL Il. MCMILLAN,
His Nomination for Associate Judge Meets
With Favor in New Mexico.

Hon. Daniel H. Mcmillan, who has
been appointed by the president to be
an associate justice of the supreme
court of New Mexico, was born in the
state of New York about fifty years
ago; he received his education in the
public schools of his native state, at
tended Cornell University in 1868 and
1869. He afterward studied law and was
admitted to the bar inthat state in 1872.
He was a member of the New York
senate in 1885, 1886 and 1887. He was
re-nominated in 1887, but declined the
of managers of the Buffalo State Asy-
lum from 1884 to 1899; was a trustee of
the State Normal School from 1887 to
1899; was one of the board of managers
of the Buffalo Library from 1883 to 1899;
was president of the Buffalo Library
from 1889 to 1899; was law examiner for
admittance to the bar of the 9Th judi
cial department of the state of New
York from 1883 to 1891; was vice presi-
dent of the New York Bar Association
IN 1881 to 1888, was ALTERNATE ueleSdte
to the National Republican conventions
at Chicago in 1883, at Minneapolis in
1892, and at st. Louis in 1896; was a
member of the New York state consti-
tutional convention of 1894; member Of
the commission to revise the education
al laws in 1899. While serving in the
state senate he was a member of the
committee IN judiciary, cities and
claims and was chairman of the COM
mittee on canals. During his service
in the state senate many reform meas
ures and acts were introduced by him
and passed by the Legislature. In the
constitutional convention of 1894 he vas
one of the active leaders of that i'm
portant body, served as chairman of
the committee on state offices and was a
member Of the committee on judiciary
and rules. He was also a member of
the special committee Of that body to
prepare the address to the people of the

Democratic Consistency,

Here a Democratic representative
from North Carolina really has the
temerity Of introducing a resolution in
the house for the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment of the constitution. The
Democrats of the south have been re-
pealing that amendment right along,
but for political reasons the Democrats
have thus far refrained from urging it's
repeal in congress. No wonder that a
Democratic colored man is becoming as
scarce as the dodo. Love and affection
for the colored mar in the Philippines
who is fighting the United States;
and hatred and contempt for the in
telligent, law-abiding colored man at
home. are very characteristic ilutsra-
tons Of Democratic consistency.

state of New York, summarizing the
work of the constitutional convention.
In the many public offices that Judge
Mcmillan has held in his native state,
he has acquitted himself with great
credit and has gained the esteem and
ever been an active and consistent Re-
publican. In religion he is a Presbyter-
ian. He is a member of the Masonic
fraternity, having attained the order of
the Temple and the 32d degree in the
Scottish Rite.
For many years he resided in Buffalo,
where he enjoys a most enviable repu-
tation as an eminent lawyer and as a
sterling and honorable man and citi-
zen. He has had wide experience in
public affairs and in the profession of
the law.
Judge Mcmillan has come to New
Mexico to settle and to be a permanent
resident. His son, Ross Mcmillan, is
now looking for a location to go into
the stock business, presumably the
raising of sheep and goats. Mrs. Nc
MILAN is still in New York, but will
soon arrive in the territory. The fact
that she needs a change of climate was
one of the principal reasons why Judge
Mcmillan made the change of residence
from the Empire state of the east to
the future Sunshine state of the west.
During his stay in Santa Fe and the
territory a great many of New Mexico's
citizens have met Judge Mcmillan, and
they have been greatly impressed by
his urbanity, suavity, polished man
ners, his varied and wide knowledge of
men and matters all over the country.
Among those who have met Judge Nc
MILAN are some of the leading attor-
neys of the territory and they have ex-
pressed themselves to the effect that as
associate Justice of the supreme court
of New Mexico, he will be a very valua-
BILE addition to the bench and will
prove, judging by the past and present,
a learned, impartial, hardworking and
efficient member Of the highest court of
the territory.
The New Mexican fully believes that
the future will bear out these asser-
tions.

Congress has authorized the issue by
Pima county, of Arizona, of $147, 00C
worth of 5 per cent bonds. This bond
issue Is to compromise and to refund a
debt similar to that which rests upon
Santa Fe county today and casts a dark
shadow upon every business and other
enterprise in the county. 1t is the de-
cisiOn of the United States supreme
court on the Pima county debt which
determines also, without a reasonable
doubt, the fact that Santa Fe county
will be compelled to pay it's debt, even
though the matter be taken up to the
court Of last The sooner the
debt is compromised therefore. the less
will be the accommodating interest
charges. and the soone the county will
be able to extricate itself from the
financial mire in which 1t has been
f1oundering on account of its enormous
indebtedness.

The new apportionment bill introduc

The new ap~portionment bill introduce
ed by Representative Crumpacker is
raising CONSERVATION in more than one
quarter. The southern states deprived
of several representatives for disfran-
chising the colored vote are making a
combination to block all legislation in
case an effort is made to push the
C~rumpacker bill. Kansas and Nebras-
ka, too, which loose representation on
account of the small gain they have
made in population, are pledged to fight
the bill. 1t will be a difficult matter to
devise an apportionment bill that will
please every state and every section.
The most acceptable plan yet urged is
not to reduce the representation of any
state. but to increase that of states
whose gain in population justifies such
an increase.

MINING LAW.
Some Observations Made on Court Decisions
by the Mining and Scientific Press.

If eight persons should make eight
distinct and separate placer locations of
twenty acres each, and of the To-
Gators should convey their claims to
the other, it would require annual as
sessment work of the value of $500 to
maintain the possessory right to all of
the claims; but in the case of a single
mining land, the owner thereof, in or
der to maintain his possessory right
thereto, would not be required to ex-
pend 500 worth of mining labor on each
twenty acres thereof, but his possesory
right to the entire 100 acres might be
maintained by performing thereon $lOC
worth of actual mining work, designed

America is a land of archaeological
wonders, the same as ancient Babylon
and Egypt. The cliff dwellings in this
territory are remarkable and worthy of
deep and thorough study. But in other
parts of the United States exist arch
geological remains that astound the
scientist. In Claiborne county, Missis-
sippi, are the remains of a stone wall,
which is a counterpart of the famous
Chinese wall. 1t is in greater part IN
der ground, but it has been traced for
thousands of feet and together with
other indications, shows the probability
of a buried city of great size being
found in that section. Each stone of
the wall is six feet long, three feet
wide and two feet thick, and is Joined
to the other stones by an excellent ce-
ment. The wall is broad enough to ac-
commodate 2 or 8 wagons abreast.
The wall or walls run from northeast
to southwest, and are built of "a white
or grayish white stone, cut so perfectly
that it resembles pressed brick. Each
stone weighs from two to three tons.
Thus it will be seen hat this country
may have had a civilization older than
any. of the old world and that science
is confronted with problems that it will
take years of study to solve, if they
can be solved at all.

The state board of health of Colorado
has published statistics showing that
suicide is on the increase in Colorado
as we'll as in other states. 1t is not
strange, however, that this short cut
out of all difficulties is more often re-
sorted to than formerly. Liberal edu-
cation has robbed death of many ter
rors and there are troubles in the world
which many people ave come to re-
gard worse thar death. The means of
enjoying life have been increased n
deprivation of those means is more
keenly felt and more productive of des-
pair. Says Professor Goodwin Smith
"Sensibility is increased by education.
The greater the constituencies of people
the greater the tendency to suicide"

In Holland, Kruger is among his
kinsmen and enemies of England who
have not forgiven Great Britain for
wrestling commercial and naval su-
premacy from them several centuries
ago. Kruger, therefore, represents to
the Dutch a double principle, that of a
sturdy fight for independence, if not
liberty, and also the old bitterness
against England. 1t is no wonder then
that Holland is wild in it's enthusiasm
in receiving Kruger. But an enthus-
iastic greeting is all thai the Dutch can
give Kruger IN behalf of the Trans
vaal, for according to it's government:
