The total production of wine in 1900
is estimated at s.61S, 700.0 900 gallons. OF
this total 3.4o3 million gallons was
produced in Europe, and $50 million
gallons in America. while the British
Empire. with vastly larger area than
Europe, and embracing every variety
of soil and climate. is only represented
by a production OF some 100000 gall
Ions OF four-hundredth part of the
whole. France. with yield Of 1.4s2

the leading wine producer. Her con-
tributiop was about half the yield Of
al. Europe. and considerably more
than third OF that Of the entire globe.

THE SITUATION.

The financial condition Of Bsrnailllo
county demands radical rctTnchmant,
The county IL bonded to the full limit,
and taxes In this city are $3.50 on the
500. Expenses are piling up at a rap
I'd rate. and actual bankruptcy is star
ing the county officials full In the face.
The county commissioners are trying
20 devise ways and means 10 cut down
expenses, but they canno succeed In
their work unless they are backed by
a healthy public sentiment In hat d.
rNction. It is up 10 the business men
of Albuquerque 10 act. II they wish
the city TO grow they must demand
less extravaganza In the conduct Of
county affairs. No city can prosper
under a five per cent tax levy. The
