FORT MARCY
RESERVATION
Will Be Turned Over to the City
Question at Last Sett1ed-Gov-
ernor Otero and Delegate
Rodey Agreed Upon Dis
position of Matter.
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, Dec. 30-A hearing was
held yesterday before the secretary OF
the interior upon the question OF the
disposition of the Fort Marcy Military
Reservation Governor Otero and
Delegate Rodey were heard. Before
this hearing Governor Otero and Dele
gate Rodey had conference at which
a compromise was effected. The Gov
ernor withdrew his opposition to the
plan to have the reservation turned
over by the government of the United
States to the city for the benefit OF the
city public schools. This made ev-'
erything harmonious and after a few
more details are arranged it is bellev-
ed prompt action will be taken by the
secretary of the interior and the Pres
ident will issue proclamation donat-
ing the reservation to the city OF San
ia Fe for public purposes and for the
use and benefit of the schools of New
Mexico's capital.
There has been quite a controversy
over the matter for sometime as the
citizens of Santa Fe were divided up
on the question Many of them de-
sired to have the reservation turned
over to the city under the direction
and control of the territorial board of
public lands to be administered for
the benefit and use of the city school.
Other citizens favored the absolute
transfer to the city with the under
standing that the city board of educa-
tion should have charge and control of
the reservation for the absolute and
sole benefit of the public schools. Gov
ernor Otero favored the territorial
land board plan and Delegate Rodey
the second plan. After consultation
an agreement between them was ar
rived at and the question may now be
considered settled, much to the relief
and satisfaction of all concerned as
continuance of the present state of af-
fairs has proved detriment and draw
back to the city and as the people
were getting very tired of the entire
matter and wanted it finally disposed

The Birmingham News has the fol-
lowing, which will interest our far
mers:
The cotton exports for the year end
ing July 1 will probably exceed all
previous records. For the eleven
months just past the excess over any
similar period Is about Ave millions Of
dollars. Prior to this year 1901 was
the banner year. These statements
apply to raw cotton, but cotton manu-
features exported have also shown q
marked increase and will make . re-
cord this year. Notwithstanding the
increase in value of raw cotton maun-
features, the cotton mills OF the
United States have largely increased
their capacity. The total number Of
bales taken by the mills Of the United
States last year for the first time
passed the 100000 line, the figures
being 4,O8s, 900 bales against 1914, 900
In 1900; 1896 900 bales In 1890; 1885,
600 bales In 1880 and s57 900 bales In
1870.
These figures demonstrate the Sus-
tanned Importance Of cotton, which is
sometimes said to have seen It's best
days. AS cotton leads In value Of ex-
ports and as American mills never
consumed so much as In the past year
the outlook for q sharp demand for
next years crop Ia exceedingly bright.

TWO LITTLE soYs KILLED.

Late Tuesday afternoon two little
colored boys, Gus and Ben Thompson,
aged seven and ten years respective
~, were killed by 3 local freight train,
engine No. 81, near the Nj. & o. depot.
The little fellows were on their way
to the pasture after some COWS, and
the superstition Is, became tired and
sat down on the track and fell asleep,
when the engine struck them. They
were horribly mangled, the body of
the Oldest being quito pieces and scat
tered along the track, while the
youngest had bis legs crushed and his
head horribly mutilated, and lived
only q few hours. The boys were som

negro man who works for the Ri. &
0. road as a section hand, and has the
sympathy of the community in the
sad and unfortunate affair. There can
be no blame attached to the railroad
company, as It occurred on 8 sharp
curve, and the engineer could not see
the "kids" IN time to cave them. He
was blowing the station signal when

the CROP outlook.

The Weather Bureau ct Washington
has issued the following, which will
no doubt be Of interest to our readers:
awhile planting, replantlng and the
cultivation of corn In the central val.
leys have been vigorously pushed,
considerable planting remains unhn-
ished IN the northern districts. Corn
lie unusually late, and has made very
slow growth under the low tempera.
lures Of the past week. In the middle
and south Atlantic States the crop is
much In need of cultivation, and In
Southern States is largely laid by.
winter wheat harvest is In pro-
gress as far north as the southern per.
ton OF Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana and Virginia. While an Inn
provement In condition of this crop is
indicated In northern Illinois, Ohio
and over the northern portion of the
middle Atlantic States, It has suffered
deterioration over 8 large part of the
winter wheat belt as aresult o~finsects
and increasing rust.
"Spring wheat Is generally in thrifty
condition but needs rain in portions OF
the Dakotas. Over the southern por-
ton Of the spring wheat region, the
condition of the crop lie very promis-

coats have made favorable ad-
vancement in the lower Missouri and
upper Mississippi valleys, but needs
rain In the Dakotas. In Michigan the
crop is backward and uneaven, and
while general improvement Is indicat-
ed In the Ohio valley q light yield is
promised In Indiana and Pennsylvania
"Cotton continues very backward,
having made slow growth under abb
normally low temperatures. Chop
ping has made favorable progress
throughout the belt, but cultivation is
not we'll advanced except in portions
of the central districts. Rains have
been beneficial in Texas where fair
stands Of early planted are now indi.
Gated, but worms are proving iniuri-
