Early today the work Of breaking
camp began and a busy forenoon was
spent getting the equipment ready for
transportation to the railroad.
Just before o the Guard marched
into town, band playing, flags waving,
the canteens Of the infantry tinkling
like dull.toned bells. The trip was
made from camp in heavy marching
order, SO the cavalry had all the bet
ter Of 1t. The soldiers got away on
No. /, filling four cars to the guards.
1t is hoped that next year a much
larger number of men al be placed IN
tie fed.
Troop A acquitted itself well dur.
ing the week. The green mounts.
with which the boys had so much
trouble for a day or two, have become
orderly, well trained animals. The
precision of the movements Of the
mounted men and the steadiness OF
their horses have become generally
noted.
In speaking of the success Of the
encampment commentator Of the

Fair association should not be forgot,
ten. The association gave two hun.
dred dollars in cash to the guard and
this amount was utilized to great adj
vantage. Also the superintendent Of
the Aqua Pura company delivered free
ice at the camp every morning.
The citizens Of Las Vegas have to
thank the encampment week for many
pleasant associations made among the
officers and soldiers. 1t Is to be
hoped that the associations so pleas.
antly begun VIII be continued and that
in other summers the camp on the
mesa will become revivified. that the
white tents will again dot the plain
that hearts OF soldier and citizen may
again be stirred by the sound OF mar
tial music, and the city be frightened
by the touch Of color which nothing
but the soldiery can impart.
Good luck TO the New Mexico Nat

Berlin's Wealth,

The income tax statistics for 1908
show that the highest Berlin income
returned by single individual amoun.
ted to over $4,000. The next highest
was over SG53, $50. The taxes paid on
these amounted, respectively, to $780,
100 and $26,15O. In Berlin the muni.
cipal taxes, which throughout Prus.
sia are assessed in accordance with
local necessities on income, amounted
to exactly 100 per cent. Of the in
come tax. The two incomes mentioned
are the only ones quoted at over $780,
600 a year, but there are thirteen who
pay taxes on incomes between $780,
600 and $500,000. There were thirty
three incomes of between S125,000 and
$3.50, 900. and 621 between $4,000 and
$125.OOO. The number Of those taxed
on incomes of above $3.50 was $500,
while there were 37S,4S4 who paid
taxes on incomes below $3.50.

An Unselved Mystery.

It is most unpleasant truth that
during the last thirty years the death
rate from cancer has nearly doubled,
and that as yet there has been no ef-
fective treatment found for 1t.
In England and Wales in the year
1876 out of every 1000 deaths twenty
three were from cancer, while In 1888
this had increased to forty-six per 1860.
and the proportion is still increasing
with greater rapidity. The foregoing
considers the sexes together, but when
we separate the statistics we find that
women are much more subject than
men. In 1899 thirty-four, deaths out OF
every 1000, for men, and fifty six out Of
every 1000. for women, was cancer q
record. Cancer is atspresent perhaps
the worst disease that attacks adultsof]
mature years, those under twenty five
years being practically free from III
and as yet no cause can be definitely
assigned.
During a good many years the opin1
ion has been stated by physicians thai
cancer can be caused by too much meat
eating, or by an oyerfed condition, ac1
companied By incidence, and statisttcd
seem to bear out this conclusion:

Caution and Counsel.

Boastfulness or fippancy is not sue.
cessful advertising for a printer. Claim
ing everything is not convincing and
excessive volubility fatigues. Get a
good point and talk to it with modest
confidence and the logic Of common
sense. And don't forget the period in
punctuation, knowing when you have
reached it and stop there. This will
carry your reader with you over q
short journey and he will part company
with you reluctantly and be glad to
meet you again.-Progressiv Printer.
