TAOS VALLEY
Good Crops Result From Abund-
ance of Water in Streams 0es-
pite Scarcity Rainfall
BUILDINGS GOING UP
Judge McFie Notes Many Improvements
During Past Year and Very
Little Crime.

"The Taos Valley is the most beau-
tiful in the Territory of New Mexico"
remarked Judge J. R. McFie, this
morning, "and although this has been
a dry year generally throughout the
Territory, an abundance of water has
been had in the Taos Valley from the
streams and heavy SHOWS of last win
ter, and as result the crops have
been good. In fact the year was
very prosperous one for the residents
of that section.
I'm the town of Taos proper several
new buildings are going up. Dr. T. P.
Martin is erecting some very nice
buildings on the plaza and numerous
other improvements have been made
during the past year The Touring
mill of J. B. Randall is doing very
fine business, and has larger supply
of wheat than ever before.
THE mining region north of Taos
is not in very active operation, but
there is undoubtedly large area Of
the mining country productive of
large number Of shipping mines, pro-
vided railroad would run in close
proximity to them. The railroad pro-
jected from Ration would approach
Taos, and be easily accessible to the
mining region of Taos County, and is
greatly desired by the people of the
region.
Taos County has large number of
good, law abiding citizens there being
little or no crime shown on the court
dockets during the term of court just
closed. Not single murder has been
committed within the county during
the past five years.

Manila, Nov. 24-General Wood

Hills of Jolo on the goth instant and
destroyed the earthworks. Martin
Brennan of the Fourteenth Cavalry
was killed during the engagement and
two privates wounded.
The loss on the Moro sides is known
as 20 and probably more. Wood says
as far as he can learn there will be no
more opposition to the sultan's men
who led the fighting. According to his
understanding this action of the Moros
abrogates the Gaes treaty.

SW|NDLER
DUPES ATTORNEY
Erstwhi1e Law Book Canvasser
Secures $I25 Here on Worth
less Draft.

A clever swindler walked the
streets of the Capital City last week
in the guise of a law book canvasser,
and duped one of the leading attor-
neys at the local bar to the tune of
$125.
On Wednesday last stranger about
five feet and eight inches of heavy
build, fiorid complexion, hair that was
prematurely gray and black NOUS
tache, whose general appearance
showed the 'unmistakeable signs of an
inebriate, entered the lobby of the
Claire Hotel, and registered "B. M.
Fowles, New York City" Throughout
the day and evening Wednesday he
made numerous trips to the cafe, and
kept the dispenser of drinks busy un-
til late hour. Incidentally he men,
toned the fact that he represented the
American Law Book Company of New
York City.
The following day he approached
the proprietor of the hotel in regard to
cashing a draft on his house, stating
that his regular remittance was over
due. He was promptly turned down.
He then turned his attention to q
prominent attorney. who having had
previous dealings with the American
Law Book Company, acquiesced when
requested to endorse draft on the
firm for $125.
J. H. Vaughn, the cashier at the
First National Bank of Santa Fe,
promptly cashed the draft on the at
torney's endorsement. The draft was
made on the American Law Book Com
pany of New York City, and was sign
ed &C. NJ Ford" Mr.. Ford, alias
Fowles that evening quietly folded his
tent and left the Capital City.
The confidence that the attorney haa
placed in the erstwhile law book can
vasser was rudely shattered last even
ing, when he received telegram from
the cashier of the American Law Ro;k
Company, setting forth that no such
person as &C. M. Ford was in the en-
ploy of the company, and that he had
been the victim of a clever swindler.
The sight draft has not yet reached
the First National Bank of Santa Fe,
but upon it's arrival here, $125 will be
credited by the officials on the wrong
side of the attorneys bank book.

STRIKERS
DEFIANT
End of Trouble Between Chicago
City Railway and Employees
Not Yet in Sight.
CARS STILL BLOCkADED
Police Charge on Crowd Of Sympath-
izers In Front of the Strikers
Headquarters.

Chicago, Nov. 24-Conflicting re
ports as to the probability of an imme
diate peace in the street car strike
came from representatives of the Chi
cago City Railway Company and the
striking trainmen. 1t was learned def
nitely that the Railway Company OF
fered to arbitrate the contention which
! the company considers has remained
the sole issue between the present
situation and settlement. This
point, it was said is taking back the
men employed by the company who
went on a sympathetic strike. The
company assert that these men violat-
ed their agreements while the strikers
assert that the agreement was not
properly made. Representative strik-
ers declared today that they were no
nearer a settlement than yesterday.
Sympathizers Do Much Damage.
+ During the past twelve hours the
strike sympathizers did more damage
to the car lines than at any previous
time since the strike began. Wires
were cut and all manner of obstruc-
tions put on the tracks. A big gang
of men worked hours removing the lat
ter. The guard company on Archer
Avenue were beaten, stripped of their
clothing and robbed. Another attempt
was made today to run the State
Street cars but their progress was
slow. Serious delay was caused by
damage to the big underground turn
wheel on which. the cable revolves at
State Street. The steel rails were
slipped between four foot spokes and
then the power applied. The wheel
was twisted out of shape and the line
nearly put out of service for the day.
The rails were only extricated by saw
ing them in sections.
Police Charged Crowd.
It took the State Street trains two
and half hours to go from Sixty-first
Street to Thirty-ninth, but from the
latter street to the down town district
the progress was practically unob-
structed. The police charged the
crowd in front of the headquarters Of
the striking engineers and firemen,
but, no one was hurt.
When the first State Street trains
reached Forty-third Street, a crowd es-
timated at thousand men following
them. 1.-THE trains are under heavier
police guard than usual, since the po-
lice had orders to shoot to hit from
Inspector Hunt in event of concert
ed attack.

BONDS
BOB UP AGAIN
"Santa Fe Railway Co.," Schem.
ers Endeavoring to Sell Another
Block of Worthless Stuff.
ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL
Not Worth Paper They Are Written
Upon...line Exists Only in
vagaries.

1t will be remembered that a few
years ago under Democratic city aG-
ministration, an ordinance was passed
guaranteeing the payment by this city
of the interest on 100000 worth of
fraudulent and worthless bonds issued
by the so-called Santa Fe Railway
Company" This action of the part of
the city administration was absolutely
and entirely void and illegal Never
theless the promoters of this fraud
then and there evidently endeavored
to sell these bonds giving the alleged
security and promises by the city of
Santa Fe and that the city of Santa
Fe had guaranteed the interest there
on.
1t is a we'll known fact that nothing
whatsoever was done by the promoters
of this fake and what is more nothing
will be done The projectors of the
humbus were absolutely and entirely
irresponsible and the city administra-
tion acted without the least shadow of
law or right in the matter. The scheme
however, bobs up every once in awhile
as is evidenced by the following letter
city:
Dear Sir-I wish to ask you for
some information regarding the "San-
ia Fe Railway Company 1t is, sup
pose, a corporation of your place.
What wish to find out is the value
of a first mortgage 20 year bond of
said Santa Fe Railway Company"
Said company is incorporated in the
Territory. Now, it may be possible
that it is company which is operat-
ing in some of the other towns and
merely takes the name of Santa re. If
such is the case and you have any
way Of getting the information as to
where it is located, I wish you would
kindly inform me of the same. The
said company is officered by George
Nelson, president, and w. Nj. McGrath
secretary. One reason l have for
thinking it is Santa Fe Company is
the fact that the payment of the inter.
est on these bonds is guaranteed by
the City of Santa Fe. l would ike
very much to know the value of these
bonds as we have a party who wishes
us to handle about $4,000 worth of
them
Knowing the fact that you are thor
oughly ,eonversant with the town of
Santa F'e and the affairs of this kind,
I take the liberty of encroaching on
your time regarding the matter. If
you will kindly attend to this at your
earliest convenience you will confer
favor. Thanking you in advance for
any trouble it may couse, am
Very truly yours,
F. w. WICKWIRE.
Director Buena Vista Plantation Com
pany, EiKhart, Ind, Nov. 10, 1908.
There is no more to be said upo IN
the question except that the bonds are
not worth the paper they are written
on, that they are based upon dis
honest scheme, that the so-called San
ia Fe Railway Company" existed at
no time, except on paper and tnat the
whole thing is fraudulent from begin
ming to end Any person who purchas-
es any of these alleged bonds for any
consideration will have nothing but
the loss Of the money paid for them for
his Investment
