Editor l1point, OF the Las Cruces Cit
izen, Has a Few Words to Say.
Last week the first time in eight
years we took run up to the Duke
city, and found many new and hand
some improvements.
The city proper is four miles long
by two and half wide. Most OF the
edifices are of modern structure, and
not only in its radius, but rs far as
ones sight can reach on all sides, 1t Is
covered with magnificent shade trees,
flowers and shrubbery.
The depot represents an ancient
Spanish castle and covers about two
blocks, where an elegant hotel, rail-
road Office and all other business per-
tanning to the railroad company is 10
Gated. The whole structure is sur.
rounded by brick walks. lawns and at
night is lighted by electricity. 1t is
well worth seeing,
The constant rains, while there, pre-
vented our visiting its many institu'
tions, wooden and saw mills and other
/ industries; therefore had to content
ourselves with lots OF political gossip
and judging from talk, and taking an
impartial view. the county and city
will give, not so large. but a good re
publican majority.
Although. II was said, by the crea
ton OF the new county OF Sandoval
and no DOUBT desired by few whit
would like TO take charge OF the pi'
counter. that the Hubbells had seeI
their day. II isn't so, as Tom Is tn

TAXABLE PROPERTY OMITTED.
County Commissioners Of sandovai
County Take steps to Remedy De.

Abel f. Perea. Esq. OF Bernalillo.
has spent several days this week in
town obtaining information concern
ing taxable property located In the
new county OF Sandoval. says the San.
Ia Fe New Mexican. He has done this
under and by direction OF the board OF
county commissioners Of that county
and IL to report the information gath.
cred by him to the board in special
session on July 3. 1908. II seems that
at a regular meeting OF the board Of
county commissioners OF that county
al the county seat on the first Monday
OF the present month. the assessor, "
s. Miera, was not present. and that
the board could get but little informa.
ton concerning the tax schedules for
the present year. A man by the name
OF Silva was In charge OF the assess
or's Office, but he claimed that he was
not a deputy assessor. The board be-
ing unable to act as a board OF assess.
ments and equalization. adjourned for
two weeks and cited the assessor to
appear before 1t with all property tax
schedules received by him. This was
done and the hoard found that con-
siderable part OF the taxable property
OF the county had not been returned
for assessment purposes, and that
none OF the land grants appeared
among the tax schedules. After advis.
ing with Frank w. Clancy. Esq, dis
trict attorney. the members OF the
board employed Mr.. Perea to collect
for them all possible information con
corning taxable property in the coun
t. and submit such to the board at 7
special meeting TO be held July 3, 1908
for action and assessment, Mr.. Perea
has been diligently at work and will
be able to report taxable property t6
the amount OF several hundreds o.
thousands OF dollars for the attention
and action by the board at its meeting
July coming.

Judge Il. 8. Baker then stepped on

The class song was then rendered,

as the sweet refrains echoed through

spent in the atmosphere of the beauti.
full and literary st, Vincent's. The
