the city and for the present is the
guest of Rev. and Mrs W. R. Dye on

DR.. Baum has one of the latest and
most improved cameras for the pur-

2,7OO plates with him which indicates
that he intends to do some work IN

safe to conclude that every one OF the

COUNTY Commissioners.
In Session Yesterday - Accounts
Amounting to $4,000 Ordered
Daid

The board of county commissioners
was in session yesterday all day. Inc
forenoon was consumed by auditing
and approving bills and accounts ana
attending to routine county business
It was found that several OF the JUS
tices of the peace in the city limits
were in the habit of charging fees III
cases of violation of city ordinances 10
the county under alleged criminal pro-
ceedings under the name OF the Terri
tory. The county commissioners
promptly put stop to this practice.
The reports of the justices OF the
peace have heretofore been rendered
in the Spanish language and 1t Is
thought it is about time that all reports
of county and precinct officials were
made in the English language hereaf-
ter. Up to yesterday the bondsmen OF
the late treasurer and ex-officiO col
lector, G. w. Knaebel had not paid into
the county treasury the sum OF $o,ooo
as required by the county commission
ers to be paid on July l.
| The accounts against the county ap-
proved, audited and ordered paid
amounted to $4,000
| During the afternoon the board act
ed as a board of equalization and taxa
ton. Quite a number of very well to
do taxpayers appeared before 1t and
pleaded extreme necessity and poverty
and asked for reductions in assess
ments which had been either raised or
restored to last years figures by the
board. There was much rhetoric and
considerable "hot air" used in trying
to induce the commissioners to come
to the opinions of these applicants and
to adopt their views of the tax ques-

BEN. BaKER IN
NEW uExIC0
Says the Land of Manana is All Right,
But Wants Single Statehood.

The New Mexican takes the Occa-
sion to republish an interview with
the associate Justice. BENJAMIN S. Bak-
who with Mrs. Baker is now in Omaha
and which appeared in recent num-
ber of the Omaha Bee. 1t is very graft
flying to note that the Judge has placed
himself on record as being in favor
of single statehood for New Mexico.
When the Judge in his interview says
1--WE are all for single statehood" he is
absolutely and unqualifiedly correct.
Single statehood, the people of New
Mexico want and will have. They will
take no joint Statehood humbug for any
cause and will vote down any constitu-
tion for joint statehood which may be
submitted to them should the bill now
pending in Congress become law. The
interview reads:
"Hon. Benjamin S. Baker, judge of
the Second Judicial District of the
Territory of New Mexico and associate
justice of the Supreme Court, is in
Omaha on trip of business and pleas
ure combined. He reached the city last
evening. After he had expressed him
self in regard to these facts Judge Bak-
er continued:
"New Mexico is all right. The
stockmen are suffering for want OF
rain on the ranges as we'll as the farm
ers in the valley. The Territory is in
good financial condition, Governor
Otero has given us first class busi-
ness administration. We are all for
single statehood for New Mexico, but
it seems the members of Congress are
nearly all against us, but are for Civ
ing us statehood jointly with Arizona
There are advantages and disad
vantages in this jointure. On joint
statehood we are much like the two
campers. They were to cook week
about. If either complained of the
others cooking he had to take up the
burden for the balance of that week
The first meal of one week one Of
them, thinking he would bring out
protest, baked batch of biscuit, put
ting in about equal portions of sal
and -four. When his companion sam
pied one of them he exclaimed: Lord
it is salty; but, like it, like it.
"'Omaha is looking fine. Mrs. Baker
is with me. We will be here for sew
eral weeks, with headquarters at the
Millard l am mixing pleasure ant
business. l am as enthusiastic owe
the future of New Mexico and the cit,
of Albuquerque as ever. We have tn
climate, natural resources and the pee
pie. Come and see us.
