SCHOOL AT WILLARD.

The patrons of the school district Of
Willard are not to be outdone in their
efforts along educational lires by any one.
Just recently they petitioned the creating
of school district and have undertaken
the erection of a building suitable for
school purposes. Already they have al
most 5000 in hand for the construction of
the same aud the building is assured. 1t
will be of frame, the walls to be concret-
ed. it will be ready for school the first
of October, when it is hoped the school
will be opened.
The Willard district is quite large and
the attendance promises to be splendid.
The board of directors are working hard
for the school ana deserve the support of
all the people Of that part of the country.
A good school from the start will aid
Willard materially in its growth and ad-
vancement. The members of the board
who are entitled to great credit for their
push in this undertaking are: Saturnino
Lueras, Feliciano Chavez and Carl A.
Dalies.

TO OFFER PROTEST.

By reason Of the law passed March 16,

counties in which the animals Craze, in
stead Of where they are owned, the as
sessment of the county of Bernalio
would be reduced something like SIoo,oo

ney L. w. Clancy was instructed to ap-

ization when that body meets at Santa
Fe, and protest against the law on the
ground that itcannot become effective, as
it was passed March 10, and the assess
ment of all property il the territory is
based on property that was owned on
March 1, 1905,
The point raised is an interesting one,
and if substained by the territorial board
of equalization, will result in big increase
in the total county assessment for 1905

TRACK LAYING TO BEGIN
SOON.

In speaking to one of the contractors
on the Cutoff near Willard he said that
the camps were now scattered along the
line all the way from Willard to Epris,
and that the work is being pushed IS
rapidly as possible. A large amount of
material and supplies have been taken to
Willard as well as Epris, and the camps
are very busy places at this time.
Probably one of the greatest drawbacks
is the limited number of men, as this
handicaps the contractors more than any
other one thug. Every one applying is
given work and many are being sent in
from different cities by the employment
bureaus.
1t is stated on good authority that
track laying west from Willard will be
begun as soon as a switch can be cut in
from the Central, and that within ten
days the steel gang will be busy. This is
necessary in order to get the Steam
snoyels at work, OH the several cuts yet
tc be made between Willard and Beien.
With the exception OF these few cuts
the grade is almost all ready for the
steel west from Willard.

At the called meeting of the Estancia
Valley Development Association last
Monday night, it was decided to hold a
picnic at Manzauo the "a of this month
under the old Apple trees. These are
the famous trees found in that place
when the first settlers came to this part
of tn. country. The exaco age of the
trees is not known, but it is certain that
they are more than hundred years old.
The association has undertaken the
care of these trees with d view of preserv-
ing them for posterlty, and with this end
in view, the members .sire to create an
interest in the same.
1t is proposed to 20 to Manzaao on
Monday, and spend the day picnicking,
viewing the old trees, the great springs,
the lake, the old ''Torrion" or fort in
which the people defended themselves
from the Indians, and the numerous
places Of interest surrounding the ancient
Apple town. A program will be prepared
and without doubt an interesting as well
as instructive day may be spent.

and truthfully at that, that New Mexico

nedt, If we would only look thon up an d

Employing Jails.

New York. The arrest Of Marius
Braun, the secret immigration agent
of the government in Budapest, is CIV
ing the officials Of the State Depart
ment no little concern. "The case is
developing features Of grave interna-
tiona Importance. The State Depart
ment has been made aware that the ar
rest Of Braun is but the elimination
Of a long series of antagonistic oper-
atoms in which he was trailed over the
continent for months by spies, acting
in the interests Of several foreign gov
ernments, which make practice OF
flooding the United States with the
criminal population Of Europe. Braun
has shown Commissioner Sargent, and
incidentally President Roosevelt, that
one out Of every ten immigrants to
this country is either criminal or is
otherwise undesirable. Braun has al
so shown that if every penal offender
in Jail in this country were released
the jails could be refilled to their ut
most capacity by the criminals sent tc
this country by the official brooms OF
European governments.

Cailows For Hoch.

Chicago. - The jury in the trial Of
Johann Hcch found him guilty Of wife
murder and sentenced him to death.
When the verdict was announced Hoch
stoodlin a stupor. He nodded his head.
He seemed unable to realize what was
said. After a moment of silence he
asked the question "Another one?'
Another one7" Few persons under
stood what he meant. A bailiff apped
him on the shoulder and tried to bring
him to. Several women who had been
awaiting the verdict tainted in the
court room. In the commotion which
followed Hoch was escorted from the
court room by bailiff. A verdict was
voted on the first ballot. On the first
ballot for punishment the vote stood
two for life sentence and ten for the
death penalty. Two additional bal
lots were required to bring the two
remaining jurymen over to the death
penalty.
