FOREST RESERVES.
New and Better Rules Governing Re.
serves for the Accommodation
of Settlers,

There are many new regulations be-
ing made by the government relative
to the management of forest reserves,
and much of the red tape and verbiage
of the old system is being done away
with to the great advantage of settlers
and residents in and adjacent to the
reserves.
Too much time of the people and of
the department in charge was hereto
fore taken up with the lesser details of
the work. working a hardship on the
legitimate settlers who desired timber
as fuel and to the stockmen in secur-
ing permits for grazing privileges.
Many of these interminable features
are being done away with, and authori-
ty is being vested in supervisors in
charge of the reserves to grant the
minor privileges without referring
them to the department, when proper
showing is made to them.
Applications for timber amounting
to $40 and under, stumpage value. are
now handled by the supervisor, who is
allowed to grant a permit. This takes
but a little time and permits of settlers
securing timber for their immediate
needs in a short time. The applica-
lions of settlers located within the re-
serves to Craze cattle and horses in
numbers not to exceed 100 head may
be granted by supervisors. Larger ap-
plications and applications from per-
sons living outside the reserves must
go to the department. This is done
that settlers within h reserves may
have first rights and their wants at
tended to without long delays.
The long. tedious details of timber
sales have been done away with and
modern, practical working system has
been adopted that leaves no doubt in
the mind of the petitioner as to what
is required of him.
These are but a few of the most i'm
portant innovations, and others are to
follow until there can be no complaint
from the people by long delays.
The rules governing the reserves

1 fragrant violations will be punished. es-

Railroad Topics

Albuquerque. The change a just be-
come generally known as an official
one, though for some time there have
been rumors that the officers of the
road were contemplating the abolition
of the cumbersome term which has
been in use, namely, Santa Fe lines
west of Albuquerque
The Colorado & Southern road is Sc
riously discussing the matter of oil
for it's engine burners. believing that
even though the cost might be a little
more than coal at the outset the road
would be more than compensated by
the advertisement which it would re-
ceive as having no cinders and no SCOT
to annoy patrons. When all Colorado
roads get to the point OF using oil or
electricity instead of coal travelling
among the mountains will be like one
grand sweet song.
j. j. Frey, formerly general manager
of the Santa Fe, is president of a Den.
yer company which has just made a
sensational strike of oil at Beaumont.
The well is situated in the famous
"Spindletop' district, and is a gusher
of the most ferocious type. 1t spouts
oil 100 feet into the air. The capacity

rels a day. The other members of Mr..
Frey's company are all Denver CAPT
talists. The company owns a thirty
acre tract where it's present gusher is
located.
An attempt is to be made by the
general passenger agents of the west
ern roads to restrict the use of stock
passes. A committee has formulated
a report which will be made at the
next meeting of the western passenger
association. The passenger agents say
the manipulation of stock passes has
become such an evil that steps must
be taken to correct it. One Is issued
to every shipper of two car loads of
live stock. Return transportation is
also provided. The railroads give
these passes in consideration of being
relieved from the responsibility of car
ing for the stock In transit.
Dogs are the burden of the depot
policemen, trainmen and travellers.
Every woman, almost, who possesses
canine pets. believes she should be per
mitted to take the dogs in the parlor
car, coach, or eve the Pullman. with
out protest. Rules of the railroads
strictly prohibit this, and as a result
irate females are the rule when they
are obliged to make peace with the ex
press messenger or baggageman. Pas
sengers are not obliged to send such
pets by express, but are allowed the
privilege of putting on and taking off
their pets, and paying the baggageman
a fixed charge. which is set down in a
special schedule and set of rules that
exempts the railroad from all respon-
sibility in the matter, making the tran
saction one between the .trainman and
passenger.

HORRIBLE TALE.
Some Picturesque Word-Painting by
the Tombstone Prospector.

For a wild and woolly story, reeking
with pathos, rhetoric and other things,
the following account OF how a train
ran into a handcar as given by the
1 ombstone (Ariz.) Prospector, is about
the finest thing ever manufactured:
THE Southern Pacific pay car, laden
with treasure, hope and joy for the
numerous employees of the Sonora
branch, sped furiously around curves
the other afternoon, carrying glad It'd
ings and at the same time dealing out
relentless death. When the treasure
train rounded a curve nea Fairbank
four Mexicans were at work propelilng
a handcar. The train was almost upon
them before they knew it. Two jump
ed, but before the other w unfortu-
mates realized their danger, the engine
struck the car. 1t was a frightful mo-
ment for them-the engine sped on
needless of that which it would de-
prive and was powerless to return.
There was a terrible crash and two
Mexicans lay upon the ground-one
lifeless and the other mangled nigh
unto death. The injured Mexican was
taken to Tucson for treatment at the
hospital and the dead one taken to
Benson for treatment"

1880 miles, under the rule adopted by.
the board Of equalization, will be
$500, 900. The states of Missouri,
Wyoming, Texas and Nebraska have
a lower railroad assessment than has
New Mexico. The fine depot buildings
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway at Las Vegas and Albuquerque
were ordered assessed separately.
The board of equalization acted after
a thorough and exhaustive investiga-
ton of the subject of railroad taxation
and did what it considered right and
proper Tor the best interest OF all con-
cerned, the commonwealth, the tax
payer and the railroads.
The members OF the board are all
property owners, tax payers and re-
sponsible citizens and while there are
differences of opinion as to their ac-
ton in the matter of railroad assess
ments, there is no doubt that the board
did what was right and proper and for
the pest interests of all concerned in
the important matter of the assess
ment of railroad properties in the ter
ritory.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
A Resume of the Work Done by Equal,
ization Board.

The board of equalization fixed the
assessment of the 176 miles of the
Santa Fee Pacific railway within New
Mexico at SO, 200 per mile and on all
the grazing land owned by the com
pany, amounting to about 1,500 900
acres, at % cents per acre. this was
done in accordance with the compro-
mise entered into by the county com
missioners of Bernalillo, Valencia and
Mckinley counties and in order to give
each of those counties some OF the
taxes to be paid by the road. Under
a recon decision of the supreme court
of the United States only &C miles of
track out of 176 miles within the ter
ritory are taxable, but rather than tax
the &C miles which are located in Val
encia county alone, it was considered
best to act upon the compromise and
to assess the entire 176 miles at SO 200
per mile and the grazing land at 25
cents per acre. This compromise will
prove of special benefit to Mcninley
county and is believed to be fair all
around.
The assessed value of the &C miles
of road in Valencia county would have
been fixed at $4,000 per mile, but 176
miles of trackage will be assessed at
$4,000 per mile, and therefore the terri
tory and the counties named are gain
ers by the compromise. The character
of the grazing lands of the company is
mostly of a desert character and with
very little natural water, hence the
low figure of 20 cents per acre was
compromised on by the officials of the
three counties named and approved by
the board of equalization.
The assessment of other railroads in
the territory liable TO taxation was
made at the same rate as obtained last
year.: 81 miles of the New Mexico &
Arizona railroad in Grant county hay
ing been changed during the past year
from a narrow TO a broad gauge, were
raised 81, 500 per mile.
In this connection il may be remark
ed that the average assessment OF rail
roads per mile in New Mexico is So
$40, while the average assessment
throughout the country is S5,O25. For
the present year there are 1880 miles
of railroad in New Mexico liable to tax
alton and the assessment upon these

THE FOUR CORNERS.

leo Touch Each Other.

leo Touch Each other.
The point where Utah, Colorado, Ari-
iona and New Mexico touch each other
is called the four corners This fact
is not a strange one, but when we
come to find that this is the only place
where four states n territories join we
find that this spot is in some way a
unique one. Not only is this the only
place in the United States where such
a junction occurs, but it is the only
one of it's kind in the world. This
statement seems a broad one. but a
short study of the maps of an atlas
will show that it is correct. Few tour
lists visit the place, although a monu-
ment erected by government surveyors
marks the spot. Its distance from the
railroad and the difficulties attending
upon a trip there are enough to deter
all but a few of the most hardy tourists
from visiting il. The -four corners"
is nearly a hundred miles from Man
cos, Colo, which is the most onven
lent railroad point to the place. From
there a road leads to Navajo Springs,
where the Ute Indian agency is To-
Gated. Then a road leads to the San
Juan river, and from it a trail which
crosses the a Juan near Scott's
trading post in Utah. The trail follows
the bluffs on the south side OF the
river for assistance until it ascends a
spur of the CarizZo mountains.

INSANE
Andy Mitchell Crazed over Religion
and Other Troubles.

Andy Mitchell has been for sixteen
years running engines over the Santa
Fe and Santa Fe Pacific lines. He be-
gan his railroad career in National
City as a fireman in 1856, and is well
known to all old-timers over the Santa
Fe system.
The San Bernardino Sun tells of his
misfortune in the following article:
Andrew J. Mitchell, who for seven
teen years a in the employ of the
Santa Fe company, and who for the
greater part of this time has resided
in this city, was taken to the county
hospital last evening to be examined
for insanity. He appears to be insane
over religion, and was making a rellg-
ious speech from the balcony of the
Commercial hotel when taken into Gus
tody by the officers.
Until a year ago. Andy Mitchell
had a run out of this city. At that
time he showed signs of insanity, and
although his visions were not as pro-
nounced as those of last evening, they
were enough to d~isqualify him for
further service as an engineer.
I'm fact his whole life as a trainman
seems to have been unfortunate. For
years he called himself the 'hoodoo
engineer because of the numerous ac-
cidents he has been in. If a switch
was misplaced Mitchell was sure to hit
it. but, as far as known, he was never
held responsible for any accident. Last
night he adopted a new title, viz: The
Son of God and he loudly proclaimed
himself the second Messiah.
policeman Clews suddenly put a
stop to his rambling discourse on re-
ligion. labor unions, and 'scab' engin-
GERS, and the crazed man was taken
to the hospital in a hack.
Mitchell returned from an eight
months outing in the east about a
week ago. Since his return he has
been stopping at the st. Charles hotel,
His friends had noticed no signs of in
sanity since his return. He was seated
last evening in the st. Charles when
suddenly he arose and walked across
the street to the Commercial hotel, and
mounting to the balcony of the hotel
he commenced preaching. He could
be heard for a block away. A great
| crowd was attracted by his unusual
conduct, and as he was brought around
into Court street by the officers he con
tinued his shouting. Mitchell will
probably be examined today. He has
two children living in Los Angeles"

BINDING

is everlasting when properly done. Every business man
would like to preserve his books, but he cannot do it
when they are in a dozen pieces after he uses them up.
he does not want them to break, neither does he want
them to be tight in the fold, if SO, they cause him great
inconvenience. There is much in the way a book is
sewed. If it is not sewed properly the breaking of a
single thread will occasion an entire section of twenty
pages to come out, necessitating the ~rebinding of the
book, causing loss of time and inconvenience. If you
want a good blank book you should get one with a patent
fat-opening back, thereby enabling you to utilize all the
space in the fold. that you would otherwise not be able
to do. Then the quality of paper used is just as essential
in turning out a fine book as is the workmanship. The
CITIZEN carries a full stock of the finest ledger paper
manufactured. When you want any kind of a fine blank
book telephone to The CITIZEN and our representative
will call.

PRINTING

There arc different kinds, to be sure. Moreover the
quality of stock on which it is done must be considered if
you would create a good impression of yourself amongst
your customers. You might think it would not make
any difference, but if public opinion on that point was
weighed you would find that it is quite a factor in draw
ing trade. Don't be behind the times. If you want to
keep pace with civilization, you must follow customs
which is naturally the greed of every man, nowadays,
who has genuine pride. The art of printing is some
thing that few people can acquire. They may print, but
the art is not present. Again, the art may be there,
but the stock on which the printing is done is of the
poorest quality, which entirely obliterates the art that
would otherwise be apparent. Then again, the quality
of ink and nicely and dstinctness of color used are
something that counts in bringing out beauty of art into
display. The CITIZEN printing department carries
nothing but the best quality of stationery, such as letter
heads, note heads, bill heads, ETC., as well as the finest
of inks, and turns out daily evidence of the finest work
manship in the city. If you want cheap, tacky-looking
printing, go to the places where you can obtain il; but
if you want irstclass printing, send it to The CITIZEN
printing department, or telephone to us and we will call
and get your order.

RULING

requires an exactness that is much admired when accom-
plished. If your blank books are ruled properly they
will always look neat, if in the hands of a first class book
keeper. If they are not ruled with exactness they will
never look neat, even though handled by an artist in
bookkeeping. To be exact requires skill and patience,
which is acquired by long experience and perseverance.
When a person possesses it his services are in demand in
any frstclass bindery. The CITIZEN has a frst-class
bindery and therefore employs the best skill.
Bill heads, letter heads, note heads, vouchers, invoices
and blanks of every description are ruled with the same
skill and neatness as the finest blank book that was ever
turned out. If you want such work telephone to The
CITIZEN.

Advertising

The word itself is celebrating to a man that has a
high ambition, whether socially, financially or other
wise. 1t is the same with a business man. He has to
obtain advertising in some way before he will be success
full. There are different degrees of success. The more
advertising you get the greater amount of business you
transact, a fact that nonadvertisers admit themselves.
"All things do not come unto man. He has to go after
them. If he wants advertising he pays for it just the
same as any commodity. You may say some men obtain
advertising for nothing, but the don't. They pay for it
in an indirect, if not a direct way. Thus every man
pays Tor his share. The world owes a man a living, but
he has to earn it, and if a man wants advertising he must
pay for it. 1t is better to pay in a direct way and obtain
more results than to pay in an indirect way and obtain
fewer results. The direct way for a business man to
advertise is to talk to the people through an advertising
medium that has a place by the freside of every home
within his field for business. The CITIZEN has that
place and will always have it.
If the ability of its readers to buy articles of luxury
as well as articles of necessity is questioned, then forever
will The CITIZEN defend them. Regarding the COM
parative value of morning and evening papers, it is a
fact that a morning paper is before its readers but for an
hOnr or so, while an evening paper is before the public
from 3 o'clock until bedtime, and is read by men who
labor all day and who have not time to read the morning
papers. Therefore the superior value of an evening
paper over the morning paper as an advertising medium
is quite evident.
The CITIZE is a home paper. Why? Because
the residence portion of the city being not more than
ten minutes walk from the business center, the business
man has ample time to read the evening paper before
going to lodge or to the club, and he does so. When he
has finished reading his paper it is left at home and
thoroughly read by the other members of his family.
The ladies of Albuquerque read The CITIZEN, and
as it contains all the news, both foreign and local, why
should it not command the circulation that it doesl If
you want results advertise in the
