WILL NOT ADMIT
RAILROADS YET
Strong Opposition to Scheme is De.

National Live Stock Asso-
citation.

Denver, Jan. 11.-Not this year will
the railroads become members of the
National Live Stock Association 1t
Is now certain that this much of the
reorganization plan Of President Ha-
genbarth as relates to railroads is fore.
ordained to failure. The remainder of
the plan, which involves representa-
ton on the board of control Of all in.
dustries allied to live stock interests,
may be carried. President Hagen
barth declared this morning that he
would continue to fight before the
convention next year If the plan failed
to carry this year. The greatest op-
position to the admission of railroads
has SO far come from s. H. Cowan, Of
Fort Worth, legal advisor Of the asso-
citation, and Murdo Mackenzie of Trini-
dad, Colorado. The western men are
practically unit behind them. There
will be two reports submitted to the
convention on the plan of reorganiza-
tion, the majority being against the
plan of reorganization so far as 1t ap-
plies to railroads, the minority favor
ing admission. Texas delegates are
particularly strong against admission

the reorganization will not report to

read a paper on Commission Mer-
chant and his relation to live stock
business"
A brief discussion followed the
reading of Cooper's paper. It was led
by A. J. Boutwell, of Wyoming, who
took strong exception to statement
made by Cooper to the effect that the
struggle for life in the business world
no longer exists. He characterized
the talk of Cooper as "buncombe" and
asserted that there were no men in
the world who fought so determinedly
tor business as commission men whom
Cooper represented. Bell, of Laramie,
Wyoming, spoke strongly, urging the
cattlement to stand together against
the railroads, which he said did not
treat cattlemen with sufficient consid-

Washington, Jan. 11.-President

J. A. MahOney, of Deming, is here
attending the sessions of the Board OF
Equalization and is guest at the
Palace Hotel. In the lobby of that
hostelry Mr.. Mahoney said:
"The weather at present in New
Mexico is a bit discouraging and un.
desirable. 1t reminds one of the Mon
tana elements and of the conditions
that exist in the eastern states during
the winter months. The amount OF
snow that has fallen lately in the Ter!
ritory Is abnormal and the oldest resi-
dents say they never experienced any
thing like it. But, when rightly con.
sidered, the snow is just what we want
and just what was missed in this Sec
tion some months ago. If it lies in the
mountains until the coming summer
there will be plenty of water for irri.
gation purposes and the arid condi-
tions of last summer will not be re-
peated. guess we will have to think

covers Plan to Despoii Valley
Of Wonders.

Washington, Jan. 11.-President
Roosevelt has discovered a suspicious
bill, which had made it's way success
fully through both the House and the
Senate, and has taken the necessary
measures to prevent its further pro.
gress. It was bill taking off part OF
the Yosemite National Park, ostenstbly
to be added to the forest reservation,
but according to .well-informed persons
really to be added to the property of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail.
way.
When 1t first became known yester.
day that the bill was to be vetoed the
reason assigned was that a grove Of
fine big sequola trees was threatened
by its passage and 1t was decided that
the preservation OF the trees. was Of
paramount Importance.
The bill takes from the Yosemite
Park and adds to the forest reserve
some lands containing valuable oil and
mining properties. Private interests
cannot get any land out Of the park,
but they can get 1t out Of the forest
reserve, and that was the purpose Of
the bill. 1t slipped through the House
without debate and through the Senate
with hardly any notice. Mr.. Perkins
signed 1t as acting president in the
absence of Mr.. Frye and It went to the
President.
What excited Mr.. Roosevelt's suspi-
cion was the discovery that the lands
to be turned into the forest reserve
had already been decided by COM
mission appointed by himself to be a
part Of the park. The President in
vestigated and found that railroad
men and others had been lobbying for
the bill. He discovered its real pur.
pose, sent for q member Of the Cali.

True to the representations of the

ty today remained in the firm clutches
of the storm king. Between sunset
yesterday and noon today at least two
inches of snow fell in the city. At 6
o'clock this morning the total precipi-

greater than the normal fall for the
entire month Shortly after dark last
evening the brief rain again turned to

cleared, but within an hour there was
a second drizzle of rain followed by
more snow which has fallen lightly
from that time to late hour this af-
ternoon. The movement of the storm
was from the California coast inward.
crossing New Mexico northeastward.
1t is interesting to note that the
predictions of the Weather Bureau for
Thursday are for clearer weather and
a decided fall in temperature. There
is a strong probability that the snow
will remain upon the ground for sew
eral days.
Special to the New Mexican from
points throughout this section Of the
Territory show an abundance of snow
all along the line.
Estancia.
The snow storm which commenced
here Monday has been speedy and con-
tinuous. Up to noon today over twelve
inches of snow have fallen and it is
safe to say that from here to MOriarty
it is twelve inches In depth on the
level, with greater depth in the
canons and gulches to the east and
west of the Estancia Plains. On the
Ell Paso & Northeastern Railway, six
inches of snow are reported at Tor

many miles north and south. east and
west OF the road.

HOW A BADGER WORKS.
Cam Excavate Almost as Rapidly as
a Man with a Spade,

During the day the badger sleeps
deep in his burrow, far out on our
western plains and prairies, and at twi-
light he starts forth on a nights forag-
ing. He is a dreaded enemy Of the
prairie dog and the ground squirrel,
and when he begins to excavate for one
nothing but solid rock or death can
stop him.
With the long, blunt claws of his fore
feet he loosens, up the dirt. Dig, dig,
dig! He works as though his life de-
pended on it, now scratching out the
sides of the hole, then turning on his
back to work overhead.
At first he throws the dirt out be-
tween his hind legs, but soon he is too
far down for that, SO he banks it up
back of him. then turns about and us
ing his chest and forward parts as a
pusher shoves it out before him.
He works with such rapidity that ii
would be somewhat difficult fo. man
to overtake him with a spade-St.

REFLOATING A SHIP.
Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer FIavian.

Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer FIavian.
An ingenious expedient was devised
some years ago to refoat the steamer
Flavian, which struck on a ledge near
Cape Race. She was fixed in an awk-
ward position for tugs to work at her,
and half her hull was submerged.
1t was in the late fall, and proper
salvage outfits could neither be obtain
ed from abroad in time nor used advan-
tageously Sc a series Of holes were cut
in her sides below the tween decks
and huge pitch pine logs passed
through these apertures. Meanwhile
two cofferdams sixty feet long by
twelve wide and as many deep had
been built at ST. Johns and, being
carefully calked, were towed to the
scene and allowed to sink by opening
a valve, being then placed beneath the
logs which passed through the ship and
prOtruded on each side.
The water in them was next pumped
out, and as they rose they caught the
logs and fairly lifted the ship off the
rocks, she being towed to st. Johns
with them upbearing her till perma-
nent repairs could be made, which in
volved patching her bottom for half
her length.--Technica World.

LlNCOLN'S FOREFATHERS.
4 Strain OF Tragedy Runs Through
Their History.


Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were
pioneers-men who left their homes to
open up the wilderness and make the
way plain for others to follow them.
For 10 years, ever since the first
American Lincoln came from England
to Massachusetts, in 1858, they had
been moving slowly westward as new
settlements were made in the forest.
They faced solitude, privation and all
the dangers and hardships that beset
men who take up their homes where
only beasts and wild men have had
homes before, but they continued to
press steadily forward, though they
lost fortune and sometimes even life
itself in their westward progress.
Back in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey some of the Lincolns had been men
of wealth and influence. In Kentucky.
where the future president was born
on Feb. II, 1909, his parents lived In
deep poverty. Their home was a small
log cabin Of the rudest kind, and moth
ing seemed more unlikely than that
their child, coming into the world In
such humble surroundings, was des-
tined to be the greatest man Of his
time. True to his race he also was to
be pioneer, not, indeed, like his an
cestors, leader into new woods and
unexplored fields, but a pioneer of a
nobler and grander sort, directing the
thoughts of men ever toward the right
and leading the American people
through difficulties and dangers and q
mighty war to peace and freedom.
The story of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with a tragedy, for his
grandfather, also named Abraham, was
killed by shot from an Indians rifle
while peaceably at work with his three
sons on the edge of their frontier clear
ing. Eighty-one years later the presi.
dent himself met death by an assas-
sims bullet The murderer of one was
a savage of the forest; the murderer OF
the other that far more cruel thing, a
savage of civilization.-St. Nicholas.

Earliest Theater.

What was probably one of the ear
liest theaters built was the theater Of
Dionysus, which was begun five cen
turies before Christ. The seating ca
pacity of this remarkable building is
said to have been 10000. nearly four
times that of our largest amusement
palace. The theater of Dionysus was
erected when Greek art and literature
were in their prime Here were pre-
sented to appreciative spectators the

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
Keeps Your Teeth Perfect
"New Method Dental ParlOrs Crowded
by Eager Wilmington Citizens.

Hundreds of residents of Wilmington and
vicinity, including many leaders of social,
business and professional circles, have been
taking quick advantage of the offer of the
NEW METHOD" dental parlors, 61015
Market street. to keep their teeth in perfect
condition for year for one dollar.
The new proposition was offered to the
public few weeks ago, and since then the
NEW METHOD" parlors have been
crowded by eager clients of all classes. On
several days the number of visitors from
the surrounding country was so great that
the spacious offices were unable to contain
them, with the result that good many per-
sons were forced to wait their turn before
being admitted. Possibly this was due to
the tact tn this is the first time this one
dollar yearly contract proposition has been
made in this country.
Despite the startling nature of the NEW
METHOD" offer it has born the careful
scrutiny of serious investigation. The pro-
prietOrs of the NEW METHOD" dental
parlors are tho. oughly responsible gentle
men with high ratings in. all of the best
financial agencies and publications.
For one dollar they contract to clean, fill
and, If nece sary, extract the teeth of a
client for one year The dentists in charge
of the parlors are men of long experience in
| their professions. The theory under which
they make their new offer is that If teeth
| are properly taken care of at the time the
first imperfectiOns appear they will give
comparatively no trouble thereafter, pro-
vided they are examined and treated at not
| too infrequent intervals. All the work done
in the NEW METHOD parlors is guaran.

So far as is known every patient of the

Mr. Daniel Humphries, manager of the

Dear Doctor:-When saw your advertise

but as my teeth needed attention, decided

killing a Robin.
Nicholas

There are persons at the present day
and not all old women eittler-who
believe that killing a robin will bring
bad luck. According to ancient belief.
the storm cloud was a huge bird. The
Arabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms. This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans remodeled the
fiction by creating the god Thor, whose
bird was the robin. Consequently to
kill a robin first meant death by light
ming, then bad luck.
