Promises to Continue the Good
Work of the Past.

The board of trustees of the
New Mexico School of Mines met
in regular annual session We'd
nesday afternoon in the office of
{. T.. Brown, secretary and
treasurer of the board. There
were present President Juan Jose
Baca and MesSrs. c. r. Brown
and u. J. Savage. Following is
a summary of the proceedings:
A faculty for the next year was
elected as follows: Chas. IL. KeycS,
Ph d., President and Professor
of Geology; Rob't p. Noble, NJ d.
A., Professor of Chemistry; O. II.
Smith, G. E., Professor of
Mathematics and Surveying; +.
A. Drake, A. NJ, Professor of
Languages. Provision was also
made for Professor of Mining
and Matallurgy, and for an

positions were not filled. Chas.
IL. Gordon, Ph d., Professor Of
Geology for the year just closing,
was given one years leave Of
absence. Miss Ruby III. Berry
was elected Registrar and
Librarian. NJ. p. Hunter was
elected Janitor.
On the recommendation of
President Keyes degrees were
authorized as follows: ID. +. Rid
dell, Mining Engineer in Metal
lurgy; A. j. Hunter and Haynes
A. Howell, Bachelor of Science,
on completion of work prescribed
and now nearly completed.
On motion of Mr.. Savage the
following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the Trustees of
the New Mexico School of Mines
extended a vote of thanks TO Hon.
Thomas b. Catron, Chairman Of
the Territorial Library Committee,
for the valuable loan of engineer
ing, mining, and geological books
and maps to the School of Mines.
The board decided to meet
hereafter once a month, subject
to the call of the President.
AS far as the work of the board
of trustees is concerned, this
meeting marks the close of what
has been in most respects the
most satisfactory year in the
history of the School of Mines.
The attendance of technical
students has been larger and the
technical work done has been OF
a higher grade than ever before.
A very large measure of the
credit for this fact is due to the
members of the board Of trustees,
who have been generous to the
extent of a considerable sacrifice
of their own interests in the
discharge of their official duties.

SEVERAL CITIZENS ARRESTED.
The Now Board of River Commits
sioners Is Having a Hard Time
to Collect Assessments.

The last Legislative assembly
passed law providing for the
election of board of FIVE river
commissioners in each of the
counties of Socorro. Valencia,
and Dona Ana. Under the
provisions of this act. every
property owner within five miles
of the Rio Grandc in these counties
is required to pay "A pro rata
share of the labor necessary to
prevent such property from
damage or injury by the waters
of said Rio Grande, and also for
the purpose of draining any lakes
caused by the overflow of said
river or otherwise.
1t is also provided that all able
bodied male persons over twenty
one andunder sixty years of age
shall be subject to tax of not to
exceed three dollars for the
purposes of this act. The pro
rata amount of the tax against
each person under the provisions
of this act is to be fixed finally
and without appeal" and I'm a
summary manner by the board
of river commissioners.
At their last meeting, the
board of county commissioners
for Socorro county appointed
board of five river commissioners
for the county. These latter met,
organized. and divided the valley
within the limits of Socorro coun-
ty into five districts, assigning to
each commissioner a district
within which To exercise his
prerogativeS. Considerable money
has already been collected and
labor expended under the provi-
sionS of the act referred to.
Several prominent citizens of
Socorro have, however. refused TO
pay their assessment, believing
the act to be invalid. and have
contributed to fund to test the
law in the courts. They have
been arrested and their cases will
probably come UP before Judge
Green Monday. Attorney Jas.
G.. Fitch has been employed to
conduct the case and will take il
to the supreme court if necessary.

BEAUTIFUL BLUE CANON.
Capt. Matthews Employs Chicago
Scenic Artist to Produce Large
Colored Pictures from
Canon Road.

The Chieftain stated some time
ago that Captain II. J. Matthews,
manager of the SocorrQ Telephone
company, had put the Blue Canon
road into good condition, that he
intended to keep it in that condi-
ton, and that the public was
invited To make use of the road
free of cost. The Captain has
now taken another step in regard
to the Canon that can not fail to
result in great good to Socorro.
He has employed a Chicago
scenic artist to produce some
large colored pictures of the
Canon and of the Rio Grande
valley as seen from the upper
Canon road. Nobody who has
ever passed over this road can
ever forget the inspiring beauty
of the valley scene. Capt. Mat
thews expects to receive the
pictures in few days. when
they will be distributed where
they will attract most attention
and do the most good as adver-
tisements of Socorro and her nm
surpassed scenic attractions.

twelve to eighteen hours earlier

people Of northern Minnesota in

High School Aid.

The fact that the population Of
Minnesota has increased but z. IS
during the past five years while
during the same period the high
schools Of the state have dou bled
in number is a noteworthy fact.
How has it come about that
there has been such a tremend-
Gus stride forward in education?
Partly without doubt by reason
of the fact that the common.
wealth is older and has more
time to think of the refnements
Of life. But the most powerful
reason has been the notable sys-
TEN of educational supervision
which has been in force in Min
nesota during the past ten years.
Minnesota has a state high school
board which has the distributing
according to conditions which it
may lay down, Of the annual ap-
preparation made by the state for
education. This appropriation
now amounts to nearly four
hundred thousand dollars annual
and it is given to high schools,
graded schools and rural schools
which comply with the require
ments Of the state high school
board.
Naturally the schools Of the
state are anxious to secure this
aid. Therefore the state high
school board has been able to
wonderfully raise the standard
Of education in Minnesota and to
wonderfully increase the number
of high schools, schools which
are most properly termed the
peoples college.
Minnesota should be proud of
it's record in education. No other
state in the Union has been able
to do SO much in the past ten
years.

'Sakhalen, the surrender Of in
termed ships to Japan, the limita-
ton of the Russ naval power in
the far east, these are the things,
next to the removal Of Russia min
fuence in Korea and Manchuria,
that most nearly concerned
Japan. And all these things it
appears she has surrendered.
We cannot believe that this is
actually so. When We know tie
full scope of the peace terms we
shall find that Japan has simply
agreed to a compromise. If
Japan has actually yielded at all
these points she is discredited in
=
the eyes of the world; her diplom-
acy is a poor, weak thing, her
courage pitiful pretense, her
manhood miserable make be-
lieve.
What Japan asked was not too
much for a nation forced to war
and completely victorious to ask.
To ask, or accept substantially
less would be cowardly, the act
of a weakling.
