STILL IN THE AIR..
But Some Day Santa 70 May Awake TO Find Railroad
Building From Here TO Durango.

Hon. T. D. Burns in an interview in
Ell Republican, published at TERRA
Amarillo, will neither affirm nor deny
that he is projecting railroad from
Santa Fe to Durango which may be
taken as an indication that the project
is being quietly considered. It's under
stoo that data are being gathered to
show not only the feasibility, of the pro.
ject but also that it would be paying
proposition. Local talk even has 1t
that the Denver and Rio Grande man
agement is favorable to the project and
would eventually acquire such line if
it were built The policy of developing
Colorado, which has been the policy Of
the Denver & Rio Grande is to be extend

country through which such q railroad
would pass, includes the best portions
OF Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and San Juan
counties, acknowledged to be three
counties promising greater rewards for
development than any other section In

INQUIRIES ABOUT new MEXICO.
Some Of Them Would Puzzle Professor and Yet Good
Comes from Answering Them,

How we'll CD New Mexico is known
even in Missouri extracts from the fol-
lowing letter received by the Bureau of
one of similar letters received by the
bureau:
LAS am reader of the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat, l saw in it a letter
from your part of the country written
by gent who calls himself Mexican
cowboy. His letter has put me to
thinking about New Mexico very much.
He said that ranches could be bought
for $400 to $4,000 Is that SO? How
many acres are there in a ranch? Can
oranges be raised there? Could I buy
a ranch already to live on? When do
you make your gardens, If you make
any? Are the ranches fenced? If you
have a paper at hand, will you be so
kind as to send me one, for would like
one very much. If you can tell me
more than what I ask for, 1t will be
kindly received"
"P. Scan I take up government
land?"
The postscript shows that the letter
wasn't written by man.
AS foolish as this letter may sound

reau Of immigration in such cases and

new RAILROAD PROJECT.
II Too Takes the Capital Of New Mexico Into ConsId-
eratl0n

According to the Denver newspapers,
Civil Engineer G.. w. Gwin of the Den
yer and Rio Grande system, Is going
over the old Pueblo Gunnison and Pa
cific route surveyed many years ago
and If his report is favorable a rail-
road win be built from Pueblo to St.
Mary's, from there to Moffat, all in
Colorado, connecting with the line to
Santa Fe In New Mexico, via Alamo
sa and Antonito This would facilitate
the marketing of Pueblo steel in the
southwest and would also result in the
speedy change to a standard gauge of
the line to Santa Fe and the line to
Durango. When the old Pueblo, Cum
nison and Pacific route was surveyed,
1t was the intention of the capitalists
Interested to push the road through to
the Gunnison river and from there
connect with some western railroad,
making a short route to the Pacific. It
was shown however, at that time. that
such line would not shorten the route
to the Pacific and the resources OF the
country through which the line would
pass would not at the time support the
branch and the project was abandoned.
Since then conditions have changed
and the New Mexico line with a possi-
BILE extension to Ell Paso and Mexico
makes this proposed branch a feasible
project.

OPEN TO SETTLEMENT.
Tho Last Complication Of tho Tlsas Land Grant Mas
Been Cleared Away Satisfactorily.

Hon. Binger Herman, commissioner
of the general land office, has declared
open for settlement large tract of
land lying between the Chilli grant
and the Tijeras canon in Bernalillo
county.
In 1885 when Henry Carpenter and a
few others made application for the
Tijeras community grant they asked
for 10000 acres.
The court of private land claims
found that the original grant decree
only called for the valley of the canon
in width and ranging from the mouth
near where Judge Trimble's ranch
house now stands on the west and
about two miles from the town Of IT.
jeras on the east. A survey was made
and the grant was approved for 1000
acres.
During this time there were living on
this land some 25 or 30 farmers, with
we'll improved farms, who could not
get titles to the land they had lived on
for almost generation.
About the middle of December, 1901,
parties cognizant of the situation of
these farmers made application for the
opening for settlement of this tract Of
land. which consists of about $4,000
acres; the application was granted,
and last week, after having been de-
layed only about three weeks, the or
der came declaring the land open and
clearing the last Of the many compli-
cations which shrouded the Tijeras
land grant case.

struction" published at Denver, and is

100 hands and will give something like
an income of half a million dollars a

evening following he will make a SIM

| Is willing to come to Santa Fe. and
| without remuneration, address a mass
meeting here on the subject. He has
made sugar beet growing and beet
sugar making life study and knows
exactly the conditions that must be
met to make both success. BY what
he has seen of Santa Fe and surround

here, the especially good water supply.

of labor and the large area in the San
ia Fe, Tesuque, Nambe and Rio Grande
valleys that could be put out in sugar
beets, not to speak Of the practicabillty
of reclafming large areas Of good land
between Santa Fe and Lamy. He feels
confident that If the people of Santa Fe
go about 1t the right way this spring
that they can secure beet sugar fac
tory by the fall of 1908. He also gives
assurance that the factory at Rocky
Ford Colo, will take all the sugar
beets raised in this section at from
$3.50 to SAFE ton and that the Santa
Fe railway would make a rate Of not
more than 81 a ton. AS the average
crop Is 10 to 12 tons an acre it would |
be worth while trying to induce farm
ers to plant sugar beets as an expert |
ment for this year and thus secure
available data which would certainly
result in the building of factory at
Santa Fe that would give employment
to 100 to 200 people not to speak of the
large amount of money that would be /
expended in construction and that
would annually flow into the Golfers Of
the farmers in this section and the in
centive 1t would give to reclaiming
more land than is at present Jni5er

Major 0. N. Apple Is Convinced That Consumption Is

THE government hospital or rather

been in operation something over two
years. recently said Major D. M. APP

all we have expected.
I'VE have had total of some 600
patients, and the average number there
now is nearly 200. There is no specific
treatment we use, and we do not give
medicine of any kind, except for acute
local troubles. We depend wholly on
outdoor life and wholesome food.

and are not allowed to enter their
sleeping rooms until time to go to bed
at night. These rooms are heated just
enough to be comfortable, but the
windows are kept open to let In plenty

portance and we lay great stress on
its necessity.
are sent back to duty, cured, each year.
This, however. does not represent the
real percentage of cures because most
of the men leave after the first six
months. You understand, when a SOL
der Is found to have tuberculosis, and
is admitted to the sanitarium, he Is
discharged, as a matter of form, from
the service. Consequently he is free
to go where he pleases, and at the end
of six months, he is so improved that
he is usually anxious to leave. AS
matter of fact, all cases should remain
at least two winters at the sanitarium.
1.-THE more / see of the disease, the
more 1 am convinced that it is durable
in any stage, provided the patient
shows Improvement under proper hy-
gienic treatment. If he begins to im-
prove, no matter what the stage, there
Is hope for him.

OPEN VIOLATIONS OF LAW

Washington, Jan. 23.-The annual re-

to propose"
Referring to the commissions recent
| investigations into the movement of
| packing house products and grain and
| grain products, the report says: "That
| the leading traffic officials of many of
the principal railway lines should de-
liberately violate the statute law Of
the land and in some cases agree with
each other to do so that it should be
thought by them necessary to destroy
vouchers and so manipulate their
bookkeeping as to obliterate evidence
of transactions; that hundreds of
thousands of dollars should be paid in
unlawful rebates to few great pack
ing houses; that the business of rail-
road transportation should, to such an
extent, be conducted in open disregard
of law, must be surprising and offen-
sive to all ht-minded persons Equal
ly startling, at least, is the fact that
the owners Of these packing houses
should seemingly be eager to augment
their gains with the enormous amounts
Of these rebates, which they receive
in plain defiance of federal statute"
The opinion is expressed, that exist
ing laws should be so amended that
every manager who desires to observe
them can do so without the risk of sac
riicing his property.
Some method should be provided 1t
