unloaded during the day. Fifty men
armed with sledges and revolvers broke
oper the door and smashed the cases.
Adams says he was shot by a police
man. Rev. F. W. Emerson was also
hurt, but not seriously.
Policeman Boyles was the first officer
at the scene of the smashing. He ar
rested DR.. Mitchell and Rev. F. w. En-
erson, who seemed to be the leaders of
the mob. All of the crowd had white
handkerchiefs tied over their faces, but
Mitchells and Emerson's came off The
crowd fell back, and the shooting con. .
menced. Boyles said he shot twice in
the air. Adams was running toward
the crowd when shot. He had a sledge
and a steel bar in his hands. Emerson
was booked at the police station on

the raid. Mitchell and Emerson were
allowed to go upon their recognizance
The police say that Adams was shot

the place where the liquors were
smashed.

hundred ways there is demand fol
mechanical engineers. The courses pro
vided at the Mesilla Park college are
on par with the best similar courses
in the leading colleges of the country.
In mechanical engineering, for in
stance, a student takes a course that is
complete in every respect He has the
benefit of studying in a department
which is equipped with all the latest
machines of different kinds, the total
equipment having cost upward of $40,
0O0 AS single example, the depart
ment is equipped with 6O,O00-pound
testing machine, the only one Of its
kind in the territory, and by which it is
possible to accurately test, for instance,
the building materials of the territory
stone, wood and metal. The steam en-
gine, steam testing apparatus, electri-
cal testing apparatus, are very COM
plete and valuable; and the wood shop,
blacksmith shop, machine shop and
foundry in this department of mechan-
ical engineering are all thoroughly and
CuHlplclely Suulppeu' IL Is tlt SdHle ia
every course-the industrial feature is
kept constantly to the front. No young
man can go through college in any de-
partment without learning to use his
hands and eyes and to work with tools
and apparatus, thus giving him prac-
tical experience, which will be valuable
to him in whatever line of work he un-
dertakes. The young women, too, are
not forgotten, for the college provides
an excellent course in a department of
domestic economy, in which the young
women students learn by actual prac-
tice the latest and best methods Of
cooking and practical home work.
NOT A LOCAL INSTITUTION.
Some people in the territory unfor-
tunately still look on the College Of Ag-
riculture and Mechanic Arts as local
institution. 1t only requires glance at
the list Of enrolled students to see that

also be raised in the Pecos and lower
Rio Grande valleys.
In botany it is showing the most ben
eficial grasses for our ranchmen and
farmers; and in entomology it has done
vast amount of work, showing New
Mexico people how to overcome insect
pests, and warning them against any
new ones. The results of all these in
vestigations and many others have been
published In bulletin form, and these
bulletins are distributed free through
out the territory to all who desire them.
The value Of all this work to the lerrl-
tory at large is immense. It makes it
possible for a farmer, ranchman or
fruit or vegetable grower to obtain in
formation from the experiment station
which could not be obtained anywhere
else, since the conditions in New Mex
leo are different from those elsewhere,
and which cannot but save him much
money and valuable time.
AN INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTION.
This institution does not provide
what is known as a classical education.
The institution at Mesilla Park is de-
voted to education of a scientific and
industrial character. 1t takes young

this Is far from being the case. Stu
dents are to-day in attendance at this
college from thirty different towns in
the territory, and from nine other
states and territories of the Union as
well as from Mexico. This does not in
in the immediate vicinity of the college,
solely to take advantage Of the benefits
derived from the institution. Not more
than one-third of the students enrolled
in the college are strictly local stu
dents. Gradually, but very certainly, it
is being realized by the educational
peopie of New Mexico that the institu-
ton at Mesilla Park is providing edu>
cational advantages equal to those af-
forded by some of the best colleges in
the east, and advantages which no
young man or young woman in New
Mexico intending to go into any pro-
fession in life can afford to overlook
WHAT THE INSTITUTION NEEDS.
should receive the most liberal treat
ment from the territory. 1t is impossl-
BILE for the college to exist without
liberal appropriation from the territory
to pay those absolutely necessary ex-
penses referred to above, which cannot
be met from the federal funds received
by the institution. The buildings of the
college are in state Of sad disrepair.
The strictest economy has been exer-
cised by the authorities at Mesilla Park
in past years with the territorial funds
appropriated to the institution In spite
of all this, a visitor cannot fail to be
impressed with the crying need for
funds with which to repair the build
been used for over ten years by thou
sands Of students, needs a large amount
of repairing, and it is disgrace to the
territory, when for lack of proper sup
port by the territory public building
Of this character is not kept in proper
condition. The territorial funds, which
are very limited in amount, are expend-
ed with the greatest care and economy.
More, however, than what has been
done by the territory in the past is now
required in order to put things in
proper condition. 1t is earnestly hoped
that the legislators will make 1t "a point
to investigate the work and the merits
and the needs of the college at Mesilla
Park. If this is done, there can be no
question but that they will grant what
Is needed and what Is requested by the
college.
