LATEST POLITE
CAL POINTERS

correspondent of the New Mexican
at Hilsboro writes that the Republi-
can county convention of Sierra Coun-
ty for the purpose of nominating leg
islatiye and county ticket will be held
at Hillsboro, the county seat of Sierra
County, on Monday, October 10th, and
that the Democratic county convention
for the same purpose may be held at
the same time. This correspondent
thinks that Senator w. H. Andrews
will have majority in Sierra County
if energetic campaign work between
now and election day is done. Sena
tor Andrews is well knownand popular
in the county which, however, hereto
fore has been considered strongly Dem
Ccratic. eis
<%N
The Republicans of Rio Arriba Coun
ty will hold convention for the nom
ination of a legislative and county tick
ct at TERRA Aramilla on Saturday the
Sth of October. 1t is reported that AL.
exander Reed, the present sheriff OF
the county, will be candidate for the
council from the district and that B. c.
Hernandez, the present efficient pro-
bate clerk, will receive the nomination
for a member of the house from the
county. There is as yet not much talk
concerning candidates for county Off
ces proper. Judge Granville. Pendle
ton, of Aztec, who has for two terms
with great credit and efficiency rep
resented San Juan County in the house
of representative of the assembly, is
being spoken of for the nomination as
a candidate for the council from that
district. The indications are that the
convention will be well attended and
harmonious and that ticket com
posed of strong and competent men
will be placed in the field. 1t is ex
pected that Senator w. H. Andrews
Republican candidate for delegate, will
be present at the convention.

MANY ACRES
ARE RESTORED
All Lands Heretofore Withdrawn For
Any Purpose Will Be Opened
For Entry.

Washington, Sept. 30.-A policy
which will result in the restoration OF
thousands of acres of land to the public
domain has just been adopted by the
secretary of the interior.
Announcement was made today at
the Interior Department that lands
heretofore withdrawn for any purpose
whatsoever, will be restored, and af-
ter advertisement for 80 days, shall be
subject to entry under the land laws
of the United States. This applies
particularly to lands withdrawn for
forestry and irrigation purposes.
The object of the secretary in re-
quiring 80 days advertising is to pre-
vent the land from falling into the
hands of spectators. Under the for.
est reserve policy, thousands of acres
have been withdrawn which recent
examination has disclosed to be agri
cultural land and also which could be
used for grazing, fuller. investigation
showing that it should be>restored.
This is particularly true in New
Mexico, Colorado and Utah. In this
cases of timber tracts in the midst d
land occupied by settlers, it will be re
stored on account of being isolated
Tracts reserved for irrigation purpos
es will be restored where projects hav,
been abandoned for any reason.

THEIR DAY
OF FEASIING
Taos PuebIos Hold Annual Fiesta
in Honor Of Patron Saint
San Geronimo.
A PICTURESQUE RACE
These indians Probably Only Tribe in
Existence That Adhere to Tribal
Customs.

The Taos Pueblos today held their
iapnual fiesta in honor of their patron
saint, San Geronimo, on their reserva-
| tion in Taos County. This celebration
| is held on the S0th of September OF
each year and attracts visitors from all
parts of the Territory, as well as many
tourists from different sections of the
country, who make the trip to Taos for
the special purpose of taking in the
festivities
Taos is situated twenty-five miles
off the Rio Grande Railroad from Ser
villeta. 1t is reached by a beautiful
stage road, which runs across the
mountains. When the Rio Grande Riv-
er is reached there is hot spring
there which has a temperature of 1O2
degrees the year Mound and the stage
stops while the passengers who wish,
bathe in this natural spring The
bridge which spans the river is toll
bridge, being owned by private cor
poration.
The Taos Indians are among the
most interesting of the present day.
They may be said to be the only race
in existence that adhere to the ancient
customs. In dress they have the same
style of clothing that generations be-
fore them have used and in farming
and other modes of living they still
use the most primitive methods.
In religion they are supposed to be
Catholics, and are, in certain sense,
but they have their own peculiar style
of worship, make their own laws and
inflict their own forms of punishment
for the disobedience of these laws. In
every way they are in class by them
selves and have never had any desire
to learn the ways of their white broth
| ers.
These Indians are self-supporting
They have ponies, goats, cattle and do
little farming of their own. They
live in a pyramid village, which is
built on each side of a small river. The
village in itself is very picturesque. 1t
| is built, as it's name indicates, in the
form of pyramid, each adobe being
on top of the other. These run up
eight and ten stories, to pyramid
and each house is reached by ladders
on the outside
Today is their day of feasting and
sport The sports are free to all Wis.
itors, whom they welcome to their vii
lage. The sports consist OF relay
races, climbing pole, which is fifty
eight feet in height, etc. The most in
teresting is their relay races, which
are run on a fine quarter-mile track on
the reservation.
The participants in this race are
are chosen from the bucks that reside
in the two villages. on each side OF the
river. After these races are run and
evening comes on, the grand final OF
corn dance is held, which is partici'
pated in by the Indians Of both vii
lagos. In this part of the program the
clowns. or fun makers, get in their
| work and /all present have a great
| time,

arrests were made by Deputy R. G

Sparks Street Washed Out.

The south end of the College bridge
remained standing and diverted the
water toward Sparks Street. The
banks midway between Don Casper
Avenue and College Street were soon
undermined by the water turned to the
north by the remaining portion of the
College Street bridge. The entire
street was nearly swept away and
those who owned homes in that vicin-
ity became fearful of their property.
No Telegraph or Train Service.
Telegraph and train, service is de-
moralized. No trains will arrive in
or leave Santa Fe today. The city is
in reality isolated. The Associated
Press is unable to send any account of
the damage in other sections of the
Territory and no mails have reached
this city last night or today. The
Santa Fe Central train left this morn
ing two hours late but was delayed
by a washout one and a half miles
south The Denver & Rio Grande
made no effort to resume service, a
washout in the Rio Grande Canon, 21
miles north of Santa Fe, utterly tieing
I'D traffic. The Santa Fe Central is
fighting washouts in the local yards,
at the Indian School, at Clark at Es-
tancia, and at a point 80 miles this
side of Torrance. The Santa Fe will
make no effort to run trains on the
main line today and probably not to-
night. The service is demoralized by
miles of damaged track at Elota,
while there are many smaller wash
outs at frequent intervals. Trains
from the east are held at Rowe while
those from the west cannot pass Ber,
nalillo. 1t is possible that the trains
will be turned back and service re-
sumed in that manner. BY noon the
Western Union had succeeded in clear
ing wire as far as Alamosa. 1t is not
known how badly the balance of the
service has been damaged. The Uni
| ted States mail cannot arrive before
| tomorrow at the earliest.
| Many Bridges Gone.
1t is reported that seven bridges
among them the fine stone bridge
spanning the Galisteo, have been
swept away between Albuquerque and
Las Vegas. Great destruction OF
property is also anticipated.
Highest for Many Years.
The Rio Grande at Espanola is the
highest known for many years. The
river is running mile wide and is car
rying everything before it. The may
ors of Albuquerque and Ell Paso were
telegraphed last night to look out for
large flood Albuquerque is practical
ly unprotected and the damage ma!
reach great proportions in that city i
all reports are true.
| Damage to Property Along River.
If rain continues to fall in the noun
tains and in this vicinity it is possible
| that the damage has only begun. Th'
4 water does not have to cut in mucf
farther to demolish dwellings and ruiz
town lots. Reports from the country
Indicate that damage has occurret
along both banks of the river.

POWERFUL AND DESTRUC-
TIVE FLOOD WATERS
Swept Down Santa Fe River Last
Night Doing Great Local Damage
Capital Without Railroad ConneC-
ton.

The Santa Fe River, angry at It's
long played farce as waterway, rose
into gushing trorrent last night and
swept before it the Delgado, College
and Canon Street bridges, all smaller
| foot bridges and damaged to a large
extent the Don Casper, Galisteo and
| Guadalupe Street bridges, carried
away small outhouses, destroyed
Sparks Street between College Street
and Don Gaspar Avenue and injured
adjacent property to an extent which
cannot now be estimated.
Reached Highest Point This Morning.
At three O'Clock this morning the
river was at it's highest. The bank on
both sides failed to contine the Hood
which came racing down from the
mountains. The College Street wood
en- structure was the first to succumb.
The piers holding this bridge were not
| in good repair and with crash the en-
tire south end broke up and passed
down the river. Part of the Delgado
and the Canon Street bridges
soon followed, the south end OF the
first and the north end of the second
| giving way to the flood Property was
threatened on both banks and many
men were seen endeavoring to protect
| their houses by rudely constructed
stone embankments.
Effect on Don Gaspar Bridge.
The flood then began to attack the
Don Gaspar Avenue stone bridge. On
each side the banks and wingWalls
were undermined and then carried
away until the bridge was nearly $50
lated from the street. The bridge its
elf withstood each attack without any
perceptible damage, but the approach
es to the bridge, which were filled WITH
dirt and loose stone were almost en-
tirely washed away This was stopped
by the use of brush, wired together
and thrown into the excavations
Large logs were also thrown in to di
vert the course of the water.
Galisteo Bridge Safe. !
The Galisteo Street bridge was able
tor hold out during the day, the stone
/ piers protecting the high wooden struc
4 ture. The flood, however, carried
away portion Of the bank on botf
| ends Of the bridge in a similar mannel
as at the Don Casper Avenue bridge
| This damage had not reached an!
dangerous proportions during tn
i morning and the bridge will probabl!
Withstand the food If a remarkabl'
rise does not again take place.
Railway Bridge Slightly Damaged.

also damaged to small extent ou
