In the District Court for Taos Coun-
ty an order was entered yesterday
granting Frank Staplin, receiver of the
Fraser Mountain Copper Company, the
right to sell certain personal property
to pay certain expenses of the receiv-
ership. Another order was entered
authorizing the receiver to pay a bal
ance due on freight on carload of
copper matte that he had shipped to
the smelter where it was sold OF the
sum received for this, part Is to be
paid out for the freight charges while
the balance is to go toward expenses
Of the receivership.
Frank Staplin, the receiver, yester-
day filed a complete and exhaustive
inventory of the Fraser Mountain Cop
per Company, showing that the sums
raised by the sale of stock and through
other means had been expended for the
development of the magnificent mining
property and the erection of mills and
other buildings. The inventory ap.

esting Discussion.

increasing prevalence of insect pests
and the best methods of destroying
them or counteraction of their raw

mously adopted:
Resolved, That full display of the
horticultural products of New Mexico
at the ST. Louis Exposition is of great
Importance to the Territory and fail
ure to adequately represent our forest
growing industry on that occasion will
be misfortune difficult to repair. We
therefore urge the commissioners to
obtain as good display as possible
of late winter apples and dried fruits
to be on exhibition at the opening of
the Worlds Fair and that succession
of shipments of selected specimens be
made throughout the summer and fall
in order to impress on visitors the SUI
periority in size, color and quality of
the fruits Of New Mexico"
The subject of Fruits Which Are
Failures in New Mexico" and the
plague of Locusts and How to Pre-
vent 1t" were suggested as topics for
the next meeting.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Hon.
l.. B. Prince; vice presidents, Dr. w.
S. Harroun, r. E. Twitchell and Ar
thur Boyle: secretary. Miss Eugenia

tion of county vice president was de-
ferred until the next meeting.

TAOS COUNTY CONDITIONS.
Cattle and Sheep Doing Well So Far,
Although Water Very Scarce
Shoshone Property to Be Worked

| Gherson Gusfl.,rf. well known citi
zen of Taos County, spent yesterday
in the Capital on business. To New
Mexican representative in the lobby OF
the Palace Hotel he said: "Cattle and
| sheep in Taos County are in very good
| condition, despite the dry weather
The weather has been mild, feed has
been plentiful and this accounts for
this very gratifying state of affairs.
"We have had but little snow, only
about one-tenth of our usual snow fall.
have been buying and selling sheep
in Taos and Rio Arriba Counties and
have just finished the seasons bust
ness having within the past few
months shipped 10000 head at an aver
age price of $1.40 per head out of Taos
and eastern Rio Arriba Counties The
spring clip of wool is not yet ready
and so far there are no buyers for it
in that section. l think it will be in
May and June. Whether we will re-
ceive as good prices as we did last
year is problematicaI.
Business is good in general in the
town Of Taos and in fact throughout
the county and merchants report to
have had good year. New settlers
are coming into the county in small
numbers and athe town of Taos is i'm
proving nicely. The Shoshone mine
which has been worked for years by
Alexander Gusdorf, the Taos merchant
and myself, but which has been idle
for some months will commence opera
tions soon again. The company which
consists of Colorado Springs capital
lists, Alexander Gusdorf and myself, is
now in progress of organization by G.
D. Weimer, an expert mining man and
resident of Taos and when its or
ganization is completed, active work
on the property will be the rule. The
mineral property carries gold and cop
per and we believe we have good
thing of it. 1t is situated twenty-One
miles from Taos and two miles from
the Fraser Mountain Copper Company's
mines. |
"As a former citizen of Santa Fe l
am very glad to see the many eviden-
ces of improvement and advancement
in the good old town for which l have
a very great liking l am always glad
to spend a few days on vacation

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
The Seven Wonders.

To the Editor OF The Evening Journal;
Here are the seven wonders Of the
wor.C
First. The great gully in tho pavement
between Second and Conrad on Union
street, which the Street and Sewer De-
partment has overlooked.
Second. Whether the garbage collector
for Union, Front ana Fourth streets has
died. lie has called once during the lasi
three years.
Third. Why certain property owners on
Union street are not required to pave
two plots between Front and Fourth
streets. Is the Street ana Sewer Comm!s-
sion interested in the sale of gum boots
Fourth. How is it that carriages and
automobiles that traverse Union street
can ever get through without being de-
mo.ished, and how can a horse travel that
road and retain his legs7
Fifth. Has the Board Of Health lost Ste
sense Of smell? The members should dwell
for time in the vicinity Of Union and
Sixth streets
Sixth. Why do some builders on the
West side prefer clay in mixing theii
mortar 10 river sand?
Seventh. Who is going to be the neXt
sheriff Of New Castle county?
Wonderer.

TENRY C. DAVIS has been for
II mally notified that he is the
Democratic candidate for Vice.
President. The old gentleman accept
ed in a vigorous little speech, and now
perhaps he will be allowed to rest and
doze tin the summer is over and the
chilling November winds begin TO
blow.
The speech OF Mr. Williams notifying
Mr.. Davis took something more than
an hour to deliver, and a careful peru
sal leaves a nasty taste in ones mouth.
Sarcasm is a proper weapon at times,
but It's use should be occasional But
Mr.. Williams continued for one hour till
his blade lost its edge and his blows
failed.
Mr.. williams gained a wide reputa'
ton and won the admiration of ever
his opponents by his very able leader
ship in the last Congress, but his ad
dress as temporary chairman OF thu
Democratic convention and his lates
utterance are Disappointing. The occa
sion and the man suggested a grav
treatment Of national issues. Mr.. VIII
liams was nippant, sarcastic and a
times absurd.
Contrasting his remarks with tn
speech Of the candidate is to the i'm
measurable advantage of the latter
Mr.. Davis spoke briefly and he adde
little to the sum OF human knowledge
but at least he showed that he ha
some sense Of the dignity which belong
to an occasion like that Of notifying III
candidate OF a great party of his non
nation for the second highest Office

seven acres of woodland in the extreme
western section of the fair grounds. Here

idea Of the Philippines from a visit to

the thousands OF miles to the islands. AL
most every industry carried on there is

How to Stop Auto Fisnds.
n the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
A cold-blooded scheme for prevent
ing automobiles from exceeding the
speed limit is to be put into effect at
Mlshwaka, Ind. The town has a single
street OF asphalt several miles long,
which is a favorite speedway for tour
lists. The Office Of the chief OF police
is in the centre of this stretch. In
front of the Office groove win be cut
In the paving and in this will be set
long knife blade extending the width
Of the street. A lever in the police sta
ton viii raise this knife about two
inches above the level Of the pave
ment whenever word is given that a
scorcher is approaching and refuses to
stop. The blade is sharp and viii cut
all four tires on the car and render the
machine helpless. What may happen
to the occupants of the car by the sud %
den severance and dehation OF the tires
seems not to have entered into the call
culation. They may be thrown out and
killed, but the police win have the
satisfaction OF having stopped the We
hicle and ruined about 500 worth OF
tires. A cheaper and equally effective
plan would seem to be to use double
barrel shotgun loaded with slugs.
