IEMEz RESERVE
Large Area Withdrawn From Entry
Again to be Thrown Open.

On the lst Of last November a large
area Of the best grazing and agricul-
tural lands in the territory were with
drawn from entry by the department
of interior by telegraphic order, to form
what was designated as the Jemez
forest reserve. This order covered the
greater part Of Rio Arriba and Sando-
val counties and for the time nearly
paralyzed the business interests Of
that region, as it completely stopped
the settlement Of land and prevented
all Improvement or influx Of people to
that region.
The desirablity of proper forest re-
serves to protect the streams and con-
serve the moisture in the mountain re-
gions of our territory is well under
stood by all our people and any reason.
able provision for this purpose will
he met with approval by them, but
in this case the order covered such a
vast area of open range and agricul-
tural lands that the people at once pro.
tested against the injustice of such
action.
In view Of these facts delegate Rodey
and others at once wrote TO the secre-
tary of the interior and others in
authority protesting against with
drawal of such lands as could in no way
belong to forest reserve and woul
seriously injure the agricultural inter-
ests of that part of the territory.
That these protests have been sue
cessful in causing an investigation by
the department Of agriculture is evil
denced by the following letter from
secretary Wilson to Mr.. Rodey:
Department Of Agriculture, Office Of
the Secretary, Washington, April 5,
1904:
Hon. B. S. Rodey, House of Repre-
sGntatives, Washington, D. c.

Hearst for his efforts in behalf of
statehood for New Mexico, but saying
nothing Of the Territory's vote at the
national convention The real test of
the Hearst strength came to a trial in
the vote on this resolution, which was
defeated by vote of rs to 81. The
Hearst amendment was then taken up
and carried by two majority. The de-
legations from Chavez, Eddy, Lincoln
and 0tero counties in eastern New
Mexico, and from Grant and Luna
counties in Western New Mexico,
championed the Heart cause, while
Bernalillo, Socorro, San Miguel and
Colfax, proved vigorous opponents.

TREASURER IN TROUBLE.
Speculated in Cotton and Came out
Wrong Side Of Game with Large
Deficit in County Funds.

On last. Friday the fact was made
public that George Knaebel, treasurer
of Santa Fe county had been checked
up by travelling auditor {. " Stafford
and found some $4,000, or SIS, 600.
short in his accounts. The cause of
this shortage was specializing on the
stock markets, or, to use the more
common language, gambling on wall
Street.
Mr.. X naebel has lived in Santa Fe for
years and has always been considered
one Of the best and most reliable men
in that city and this misfortune comes
as severe shock to all. The only
way his friends try to account for his
action is, that, the fever Of speculation
overcame his judgement and he invest
ed the trust funds when his invest
ments were gaining and the sudden
fall Of cotton at the time of the Sully
failure, brought disaster to him and
swept away what he had gained and
the county money as we'll
Mr. Knaebel's bondsmen who viii
have to make good the shortage are,
T. B. Catron, Samuel EIdodt, Fred
Muller, Grant Rivenburg and Charles
Wagner Following the disclosure Of
his defalcation Mr.. Knaebel resigned
and Governor Otero has appointed II.
B. Cartwright to fill the vacancy.

forces, however carried their plans
by very few votes and the delegation
was instructed for him.
The following were chosen delegates

tion at st. Louis

Socorro; alternate, Samuel Eldodt of
Rio Arriba county.

II. B. FERGUSON Of Albuquerque,
was reelected by acclamation for ma
tional committeeman. The resolutions
which were passed reafIirm allegiance to
the well established principles of the
democratic party, express disapproval
of the tendencies Of the Republican
party toward colonial system, the di-
vor,ement of the constitution and the
flag in the island possessions, the main
tenance of a war tariff in time Of peace,
which has become the parent of the
trusts, denounces the Republican ad-
minlstration for its duplicity in dealing
with trusts and for its attempt to dis
tract the attention of the people from
the real issue by the prosecution Of
petty crimes in the postofIice depart
ment.
The territorial Republican admins
tration is soundly denounced for its al
legged failure to call corrupt republican
county officials to account and remove
them from notorious and open theft
of public funds. 1t scores the party
in the Territory on its party manager
whom it accuses of bold theft of the
school funds. "
1t denounces the present jury law and
winds up with an expression on state
hood which in substance declares for
single statehood, but failing this, be.
ieves that joint statehood is prefer
able and respectfully submits to what
appears to be the inevitable, namely,
joint statehood.
The statehood paragraph Of the re-
solutions asks for an appropriation of a
sufficient amount of money out of the
national treasury to pay the public
debt of the Territory of New Mexico
and Arizona, and the debts of the
counties of Santa Fe and Grant in
New Mexico, and Pima in Arizona, and
a sufficient fund to establish a perma-
nent public school system commensu-
rate with the needs of the joint state.

CONVENTION
A Lively Fight Finished up With
Instructions FaVOring Hearst.
Joint Statehood Declared Accept
able Only Because Single is Out OF
Reach.

The Territorial Democratic con-
vention at Silver City proved to be an
exciting one from beginning to end,
and the outcome was anything but
satisfactory to a large number of the
best men Of the party. The main
fight was on the question Of instructing
the delegation to the National conven-
tion. Such men as Crist, Renehan and
other conservative men of the party
opposed the movement, because they
felt that it was better to send an un-
instructed delegation, free to act as
they should consider would be to the
best interests of the party when the
conditions at the convention are known,
than to send them bound down to one
person. however much they might ad-

that this fixes the record back TO 1913.
Three Rivers reported the worst con
dition there at midnight ever before

contained from three To five feet of
water, and residents were going from
