Assessment to BE Reduced.

Assessor II. w. Adsmond at
tended the meeting of the asses
sors of the state held in the capi-
tol building in Denver this week.
Most OF the assessors made their
assessment on the same basis as
last year, but as the state board OF
equalization refuse to make any
increase in the assessment of rail.
road property, the assessors have
practically agreed to make con-
siderable reduction in the assess
ment OF all other property. Mr..
Adsmond thinks the assessment in
Otero county will be at least
twenty per cent less than last year.

water tvesyshese and No rrsans.
The Arkansas Valley was visit
ed by great rainfall last Tuesday
afternoon and evening. and rivers.
c1eeks, canyons and "dTaws" were
on the rampage for two days. Not
in years has SO great 4 volume OF
water flown in the Arkansas river,
aud it is exasperating to realize
that we have no reservoirs to cor
rail- the precious moisture for future
use. For weeks there has been
practically no water in the bitches.
and ruin stared the farmers in the
face. There were bitches, but no
water. Now there is plenty of
water, but no ditches-dams,
headgates and fumes having in
many instances been washed away
by the food waters. This ought
to prove lesson to ditch men,
and teach them that it would be
wise in times Of drouth to prepare
| for floods.
The rain was OF inestimable
benefit to farmers, but the rail
roads suffered, and have not as
yet recovered their normal condi-
ton. Some of the bitches also
suffered, the dam of the Rocky
Ford ditch being washed out, and
also the Apishapa flume Of the Otero
and the Chicosa flume OF the High
line. Although there is a plenti
full supply in the river there will
be no water for these bitches.
The Santa Fee suffered seriously
and for two days was tied up both
east and west. The first difficulty
occurred at Nepesta, several
"bents" Of that bridge being
washed out and delaying trains for
nearly twenty-four hou.s. Trains
sent east Wednesday night ran
into washout on the Picketwire
bridge east OF Las Animas and had
TO return to La Junta. Passen-
gers, east and west, were transfer
red Thursday and Friday, and it is
not probable that trains will be
able to cross the bridge before to-
day.
The track of the Colorado &
Southern between Trinidad and
Pueblo was washed out, and sew
eral trains OF that road came
around by way OF La Junta. Tues
days No. 6, the first train to cross
the Nepesta bridge, crashed into a
Colorado & Southern freight train
about 9 o'clock in the west end OF
the yards. The freight train was
standing still, when No. 6 came
around the curve at full speed. II
was too late to avert collision,
but Engineer Morrow stayed with
his engine and did his best to
tighten the crash. The tender OF
his engine telescoped the baggage
car. but he fortunately escaped in
jury.
Two young men who were rid
ing on the blind baggage had
miraculous escape from death.
The tender of the engine struck
them and the next instant they
landed in the middle of the bag
gage car. One of them, Russell
Harper, of Kansas City. nephew
Of !. b. Pearce, had his right leg
broken in two places below the.
knee, but his companion escaped
without a scratch. How they
escaped being crushed to death is
one Of the mysteries that will new
er be solved.

Washington, September 25.-President
Roosevelt was resting very comfortably
when his physicians called to see him this
evening He is complying strictly with
their injunctions to give his injured leg
complete rest and good results are ap-
parent already.
In view of the satisfactory improve
ment In the Presidents condition no pre-
pared statement was made. Secretary
Cortelyou simply saying when he left the
temporary white house at 10 o'clock for
the evening that Mr.. Roosevelt was doing
nicely. DR.. Lung, the Presidents regu-
lar physician, had left the house an hour
earlier.
Throughout the day the president re-
manned sitting up in bed interesting HIM
self with a book or chatting with Mrs.
Roosevelt, except when directing the dis
position of some matter regarded as
pressing enough to bring to his attention.
Little business will be laid before him,
but there are several matters, including
some diplomatic appointments, which
probably will be attended to shortly.
Secretary Cortelyou during the day
transacted much routine business. Only
a few Of the foreign diplomats are in the
city, but those who are here called per-
sonally to inquire after the Presidents
condition. Among the first to arrive was
the Japanese minister, Mr.. Takahlra.
There were also a number of other dis

INTEREST IN RAILWAY.
Mexicans Stirred Up Over Purchase
Of the Big Railroad.

Mexico City, September 25.-Great inter
est has been aroused In railway circles
by the announcement made today that
the government has bought in London
the controlling interest in the inter-ocean-
ic railway by purchasing the majority of
the newly created bonds in whose hold
ers, by virtue of an agreement creating
them, is vested the administration of the
property The government bought these
bonds at fraction over 3d. securing the
majority in competition with a we'll
known firm of New York bankers, who
some months ago acquired control of the
Mexican National railroad. The govern
ment has invested in this purchase a por-
ton of the reserve fund of the nation
The purchase was made at 80 and the
bonds bear Az per cent interest The
guiding idea in this purchase was in
reality the purpose Of the government
to secure control of an independent rail-
way to the Gulf of Mexico as a means of
defense against any possible combination
of railway interests that might tend to af-
feet injuriously the rate situation and
commerce of the country in general
The government has 1t is said headed
off the New York bankers, who sought
the inter-oceanic railway practically

PREPARING TREATIES.
Cuban Minister and State Department
Getting Ready for Congress.

Washington, September 25.-With the
expectation of being ready to present to
congress at the opening of its next ses-
sion a fabric of treaties between the
United States and Cuba, negotiations are
pending between Mr.. Quesada, the Cuban
minister, and the state department with
regard to a commercial treaty, an ex-
tradition treaty and a treaty to adjust
the title to the Isle of Pines. 1t is the
purpose of Minister Quesada 1t is stated,
to draw up the commercial treaty on re-
ciprocity lines. The fate of such treaty
will depend naturally on congressional
action on the subject of Cuban recip-
rocity.
An extraordinary treaty between the
United States and Cuba has already been
drafted. The provision for the establish
ment of civil government in Cuba omitted
the Isle of Pines from the constitutional
boundaries of Cuba and left its title to
further definition by treaty. The United
States has decided to leave the island
under the Jurisdiction of Cuban govern
ment until such convention can be con-
summated. The Isle of Pines is a mu-
nicipal district of the judicial district of
Bejucal, and a part of Havana province.

LINDEN
Commissioners EnIoined From Pro-
ceeding With Building Court House.

Linden, September Is. = Especially = An
other halt has been caused In the build
ing of Marengo's new courthouse by an
other writ of injunction being served last
night. This became necessary by a DIFF
ference of opinion as to the real meaning
of the supreme courts dicision of the
matter, the injunetionists holding that
the supreme court sustained the chan
Gerry court, which held that the court
house could not be moved from the lot
1t now occupies without a vote Of the
people. The commissioners held that the
supreme court decided the courthouse
could not be moved outside OF the original
corporate limits of the town of Linden,
but that 1t could be moved to any lot
within said limits without an election,
and therefore commenced to build the
courthouse as near as possible to the lot
first selected, which is about half a mile
from the present courthouse and jail and
toward the railroad
The commissioners and contractors were
told that If they continued to build upon
this lot they would be enjoined again,
but work continued and the clash came
last night when the writs Of injunction
were served.

SECRETARY SHAW
ISSUES STATEMENT
Money Once in treasury Can't
be Deposited in Banks
CIRCULATION INCREASED
Concerning Rumor That He Would
Resign, Mr.. Shaw Says He Has
Already Denied Such Reports.
Working In Harmony.

Washington, September 25.-secretary
Shaw today gave out the following state
ment:
Money once converted into the treas
nry land this. of course. includes the Sub
treasuries). cannot thereafter be depos-
tied in banks. All custom receipts are
by law payable to the treasury and SUBJ
treasures. The only fund. therefore,
available in banks. is international reve-
nue. and miscellaneous receipts, before
they have been actually converted into
the treasury. These amounts to about
half million per day and since the
stringency arose to the fullest extent
have been steadfast1y returned to cir
culation. This policy will be continued
for thirty or sixty days If needed and
longer if necessary.
In the meantime national bank cir
culation has been increased about $780,
600 largely induced by the distribution of
deposits and the further increase to the
amount of 100000 is assured.
Rumors Unauthorized.
"All rumors of experiments have been
unauthorized by the treasury department
1t is to be hoped that the public will
place no credence IN vagaries started by
irresponsible and Entrusted men of the
street. 1t is also hoped that the country

and south, and 1t is hoped also that the
banks will stand by every business and
The only way to get money out of the
treasury into circulation after it has been
actually covered in, is by the payment of
legal obligations of the government
These may be anticipated. The depart
ment did anticipate the October interest
1t now offers to anticipate all interest
maturing between October 1 and the end
of the fiscal year, If presented within
sixty days, at a rebate of two-tenths Of
one per cent per month, which is at the
rate of "a per annum.
'In other words, these obligations will
be prepaid at such a rate as to allow the
government to profit thereby at the rate
of IA per cent per annum. The amount
maturing before June 80, 1903, is, in round
figures, $40, 650,00o The profit to the gov
eminent, If this offer shall be accepted,
will be, in round figures, 100000.
No Experiments.
There will be no experiments tried
and no policy adopted until after mature
elaboration, and no feelers will be sent
out. Anything to the contrary should be
discredited."
Regarding the report that he would re-
sign Secretary Shaw said:
II denied this rumor in Chicago. 1t
would seem unnecessary to repudiate
story that has no authority and is built
on a false assumption, and is enlarged
upon simply to fill space. The President
and the secretary of the treasury are in
thorough harmony. OF this there need
be no doubt If the speeches made by the
President and the secretary will be read
and compared instead of the headlines"
