Hon. F. L. Wight of Clayton, repre-
sentative from Union County in the
Thirty-sixth Legislative Assembly,
was born in Kennebec County, Maine,
in 1865, and is the Oldest son of F. d.
Wight of Denver, Colorado, for many
years citizen of Trinidad in that
state and in the banking business
there.
Mr.. Wight is descendant of fami-
ly that was among the earliest settlers
of New England, his ancestors having
arrived there during the year 1850 and
many of it's members held high and
honorable positions in various New
England states during the last 25O
years. Mr.. Wight came to Trinidad,
Colorado, with his parents in 1874, and
since that time has passed his life in
southern Colorado and northeastern
New Mexico, with the exception of
the years from 1880 to 1886 which he
spent in Maine acquiring classical
education under the tutorship of Pro-
fessor A. H. Abbott, cousin of the
we'll known historian, S. G. Abbott.
For a number of years, Mr.. Wight en-
gagged in stock raising in what is now
Union County in this Territory and
that successfully. During this time
he studied law and few years ago
was admitted to practice before the
territorial courts, the law firm with

NEW MEXICO TO
BE PROTECTED

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, Feb. 4.-Speaking OF
the Smith-Culberson bill now before
both Houses of Congress, F. H. Newell,
chief engineer of the reclamation ser.
vice today said:
"The bill as it stands represents the
work of many hands. The objections
have been carefully met and the
bill is now believed to satisfy the par
ties in interest. If the bill passes now
the government will be committed to
the Engle plan as a means of settle
ment. Aside from admitting the Tex
as Valley to participation the bill
merely authorizes full examination
of land and water right in the valley,
especially in New Mexico. This work
is necessary and will take some time.
The passage of the bill will afford a
warrant to the reclamation service to
go ahead with it's work as soon as
the valley land owners in Texas and
New Mexico have all signed up. The
project as originally stated is Engin'
eer Wallis report. has not been modi'
fed in any particular and the inter,
ests of New Mexico, as we'll as Texas,
are being carefully guarded. There
will be water enough for all the irri'
gable land in the valley on the terms
previously stated"

From an unfortunate combination

rain which had been falling the past

This storm is the tail end of bliz-

At noon the thermometer began to

walking unpleasant in the extreme.
No snow will be left locally by
nightfall. At noon the telegraph

BAD EVERYWHERE
EXCEPT HERE

Washington, Feb. 4.-Reports to
the Weather Bureau show some very
unusual meteorological conditions
throughout the country, particularly a
development of an abnormal cold spell
in the north central states, despite the
absence of any general storm, and
this extreme cold has spread through
most of the United States during the
past four days. Great contrast also
has developed between the two sides
of the Rocky Mountains. West of that
range rains have developed to re-
markable degree. The semi-arid re.
gions of Arizona and south California
have been visited with almost as much
rain in the last sixty hours as they or
dinarily receive in year. The cold
est weather of the year has prevailed
in the central and eastern districts and
in the last twenty-fOur hours snow and
sleet has extended almost to the coast
line of the east gulf and south Allan
tic states. The forecasts do not indi-
cate any decided change to warmer
weather during the next forty-eight
hours.

Two years of an active administra-
ton are tersely accounted for by
Colonel George w. Prichard, the pres
ent solicitor general for the Territory
of New Mexico, in his biennial report
for the Office, submitted to Governor
Miguel A. Otero. Colonel Prichard's
statement is inclusive of the period
from December 27, 1902, to December
Is, 1904, during nearly all of which
time the lamented Edward L. Bartlett
filled the Office with credit to himself
and the Territory.
Solicitor General Prichard took pos
session of the Office on the 21st day OF
November, or a little over two
months ago. Since that time he has
given four written opinions to various
officers and members Of boards in the
Territory. These opinions are includ-
ed in the fortyh hne opinions rendered
by the Office syce the last biennial re-
port Of the s,icitor general.
Much to Do Now.
For the last sixty days the Office OF
solicitor general has been especially
strenuous. For one thing there has
been a positive flood Of official bonds
to be passed upon. Bonds for the re.
demption of the outstanding indebted
ness Of various school districts have
been prepared and necessitated grave
consideration. In addition to this, the
solicitor general has written dozen
official opinions and has carried the
responsibility of fourteen cases before
the Supreme Court Of the Territory
each of which had to be briefed and
the briefs printed, and many Of the
fourteen cases requiring oral argu
ment. In the past two years the bust
ness Of the Office has rapidly accumu'
lated and a greater increase for the
two years to come II anticipated.

In his formal report Colonel Prich-
ard enumerates the cases before him
as styled.
General Bartlett's Work.
In the course of his remarks Colonel
Prichard says: From the data in this
Office, find that the solicitor general
has given forty-nine written opinions
to territorial officers, various boards
and commissions, since December
9th, 1902, and has also during that
time sent out a large number of off,
cial letters to other officials and indi-
viduals in the Territory. A large num-
ber of applications for acquisitions on
the Governors of various states and
territories and on the Republic of
Mexico has been passed upon by this
Office within the period mentioned.
Different officers and boards and pub
lie repositories have during this per-
iod submitted their bonds to this Of
flee to be passed upon as to form as
required by law. This Office has also
examined the title to and the deeds
for property donated under the act Of
1908, for the blind institute at Alamo
gordo, and the reform school at III
Rito, and rendered aid and assistance
to the deaf and dumb asylum.

SAYS HE COULD
ONLY SURRENDER

Colombo, Ceylon, Feb. 4.-General
Stoessel, former commander of Port
Arthur, and Russian officers and 9TH
ers accompanying him, arrived here
today from Japan by way of Shanghai
on board the French line steamer
Australian. In an interview with a
correspondent of the Associated Press,
General Stoessel denied statements
published to the effect that Port Ar
thur surrendered prematurely. He
was especially indignant at statements
made by a London newspaper Janu-
ary 25, in a dispatch from Pekin, that
there were at the time of surrender
25, 900 able bodied men at Port Arthur
capable of making sortie, hundreds
of officers all we'll nourished, plenty
ammunition, the largest magazine be-
ing untouched and full to the roof and
that there was an ample supply OF
food for three months, even If no fresh
supplies were received. General
Stoessel characterized these state.
ments as unjustifled and not supported
by facts,

A Good Example

An official of of the western railroads on which the
president is travelling makes the following announcements
"he presidents train this road will be paid for at
the regular rates. and all bills for transportation will be
settled through the auditing department of the Pennsylva
MIA road and will be paid by the president The only spec
ia courtesy which will be accepted by the president will
be permission to ride the engine through Red Rock
yon'
That is fine.
The spectacle of president who seeks to compel rail
roads to give the public square deal accepting favors
from the railroads is not edfying one.
Besides
The president is private trip His transportation
has relation to the public business He for pleas
ure He should pay his way private citizen pays his
way
This is the first instance record where any president
has paid fare at regular rates.
Whether not the government should pay the presi-
is open question Certainly either the
or the president should pay the bills
President Roosevelt has set good example for public
officials Men in public places the of the peo
pie and they should not place themselves under obga-
lions to transportation companies
Our congressman paid 20 cents mile when they go
to Washington public business. Almost without excep-
ton they travel passes and draw their mileage from
the public treasury.
Members of the state legislatures are also paid lib
eral mileage, but travel Free

them at the right moment. No faster fighter cleverer
with either hand fighting in the weer division to-
day than Duffy.
But his one handicap has been the lack of knockout
punch There's force behind his blows and that force has
scored good many knockdowns to his credit-bu few
knockouts.
On the other hand Melody much less of ring
tics than does Duffy. He's not speedy clever in his
workout he has the sleepy punch He there with the
Knockout and Duffy has connected with it.
I don't think Melody has the head piece in the ring
that Duffy has, But his staying powers and his punching
ability go much farther in doping him the winner next
Friday night.
Both are in splendid condition. Their good habits
and clean living to keep them in shape If anything
Honey has shade the best of condition through being
climated.
Pat Devanney writes me from Occur d. Alene that he
would like to match Kid Rogers against Kid Scaler for the
preliminary but that deal has already been closed 1t is
likely that Rogers and Scaler may meet later.
Jim Murphy of Butte father of the famous Murphy
Mdgets who national fame tiny BOXERS club swing
ers and bag punchers writes that he intends stopping off
with the boys in Spokane his way to Portland and that
he would like to augment athletic show by agreeing to
stop Jerry Mccarthy in 10 rounds. Murphy is middle
weight but Jerry fought to draw Frank Dunn,
other mddleweight who defeated Murphy
Winnie Cutter, the new Spokane pitcher, was secretly
married last night in San JOSE Ca to Miss Louise ConkeS
daughter of attorney of that city Winnie and his bride
will arrive in Spokane the latter part of the week
Negotiations are again for match between Barney
Muln and Jerry Mccarthy for $500 side. The Muln
money ready and word from Mccarthy to when he
will post his $500 will close the deal for the two to come
together
Mulln has all sorts of backing for such go and if Jer
Try raises the money Butte he writes he will do there
will be good fast go with big stakes in it for the winner
Big jim Mccormick Sullivan's sparring partner, in a
go with heavyweight is of the probable attractions
of the near future for Spokane ring followers.
In view of the fact that with Jeries' retirement from
the ring Mccormick is apt to be the next heavyweight
champion of the world, the matching Of Jim in Spokane
would be big event. WILLIE B. GOODE

Why They Lost Their Jobs

The Workers Magazine has collected the stories of
seventytwo working who lost their jobs The list has
been tabulaed and shows the following causes for dis
charge:
Drinkink, II.
Careessness 8.
Sweled medicines, 7.
Gambling, 5.
Laziness f.
Following these come many others, such as 'business
closed down. 2; dull season. 2; ''feow clerk stole" l.;
"sassed boss l. woman worked cheaper" l.
fault with the employees. Indeed the remarkable part
of this symposium is the exceeding gfankness of the dis
charged in admitting this fact OF the entire seventy
two but two three make any claim that their employers
at fault
Another fact is revealed There is little record of in
efficiency the part of the workers aside from that in
duced by bad habits. -Four admit they lazy Three
of these just out of high school and they will take
hold of the job with rmer determination succeed
They have learned that business is not 'snap''
Liquor drinking heads the list of causes The idea that
the wheel of business must be lubrcated is not borne
out by experience.
Gambling goes along with drink. 1t is simply a short
cut to business ruin.
Careessness which is second in the list is nexcusabe
This fault together with that of sweheadeness is pc
cuiary the fault of younger persons and is not without
The deduction from the entire matter is this: These
workers discharged themselves. They voluntarily put
themselves out of business.
