The Santa re New Mexican is waging
vigorous. open war on the ax.dodgers
OF the territory aud Of the various coun-
tiee The New Mexican is the mouth
piece Of the territorial administration
It speaks OK cathedra, its sayings carry
the weight Of authority with them and
it says there must be reform and im-
provement in the present methods Of
levying the assessments and collecting
the taxes Of New Mexico. Under the
reiguing system, a system that has been
in vogue ever since New Mexico was
made, there is corruption and incompe
tency that causes grave injustice to be
done to certain counties and to the more
honest class Of citizens. reform in
this direction is badly needed. The
New Mexican is stirring up the animals
in tho right direction. 1t is making a
strong fight for the right in such a man.

Editor INDEX: From Santa Fe, the
capital of our territory, send you
greeting. l am told that this is one OF

United States Its elevation is 1900
feet. 1t is a pleasant, healthful location
for city 1t has several fine buildings

in San Juan county, is at home here in
his dual Office Of deputy auditor and
treasurer. 1t was his genial welcome
that gave me the liberty Of these cool
balls, and through his kindness I have

has been elected to the highest honorH
given by the people to the sons Of our
territory.
There is phenomena about this
country that puzzles me. From Abiqai

are covered with a thick growth Of small
cedars, the plants averaging from three
to eight feet in height Not a large
cedar tree is seen IN the whole drive.

poverty of the soil. Can it be the whole
country was once denuded of it's timber
by the consumption Of its heavy popula.
tion, and that population, by some ca
lamity, was swept away. and since a
young growth Of cedars has sprung up
on the land? l asked Mr.. Read, the
court interpreter, the reason. He said;
1T was sowhen / was a boy and guess
it has always been so. But now l think
OF it, go south twenty miles, and the

They Want Us There.

The Albuquerque Journal-Democrat
says:
San Juan holds it's county fair Sept
l7-20 inclusive about a month before
the territorial fair, and as usual it
promises to be an excellent exhibit Of
the products Of northwestern New Mex
leo.
San Juan is 10 many respects one Of
the best and most productive counties in
the territory and possesses the greas
advantage, also, of a superior irrigation
system with an abundant water supply.
For fruits, especially the more valuable
varieties, like apples and pears, the San
Juan county has no superior anywhere
ia the west, and potatoes which do but
indilierently we'll IN most sections Of the
territory, grow to perfection in San
Juan, ana find a ready market wherever
they are shipped.
An arrangement might be made be.

fair, and those OF San Juan county fair

ricultural and horticultural products
