That cupid keeps busy and brings re-

progressing. For some weeks he has
been at work this time in the Estancia ho.

out what became of one of the cooks and
which one has disappeared. They are
certain that on last Sunday afternoon at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harris, Judge
Gaaett; in the presence of a lew relativ-
es and friends spoke the words making

led to know which is the one and which
isn't.
In the evening a large number of the
young friends of the newly welded couple
met to express congratulations. In the
absence of brass band, one was improv-
ised on moments notice, which, judged
from the general hilarity filled tile gap
very nicely. The News joins their many
friends in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Whit.

County Seat at Estancia.

A mass meeting of Estancians was
called to order Monday evening in A. l..
banners barber shop by DR.. j. L. Norris
Mr.. James Walker was chosen chairman,
and P. A. Speckmann, secretary.
In speech of some length DR.. Norris
explained a number of things in regard to
the new county, which he had learned
during his sojourn in the Capital City.
First that the rumor that Torrance county
is to be abolished is wholly false, accord
ing to some of the highest political author
ity in the territory. Second, the bill
creating Torrance county being very de-
fective in many respects, is TO be amended
greatly to the benefit of the new county.
Third, parties from Willard are working
incessanty to secure the location of the
county seat at that place. The speaker
further suggested that Estancia people
must get petition signed by as large
a number as possible before the legisla-
ture asking that the county seat be locat-
ed here.
1t was moved and seconded that COM
mittee of five be elected to take a petition
to the legislature and use their influence
to secure the county seat for Estancia and
to remain in Santa Fe until the matter is
decided. Amended to appoint two others
to prepare the petition. And also that the
actual expenses of said committees be paid.
Carried. Messrs Hines and Garnett are
selected to prepare the petition, with Mr..
Walker, member ex-oficio. DR.. Norris,
Messrs, Walker, Gregg, Hlne, and
Manuel Sanchez are elected as the COM
mittes of five.
Moved and seconded that the above be
amended to read five or more. Carried.
Trinidad Romero, VIM. Mcintosh and
Milton Dow are added to the list of five
J. P. Dunlavy protested against asking
the legislature to change the county seat
claiming this to be the right of the citizens
by popular vote, according to the Compl-
ed Law of the Territory.
Moved and seconded that committee
of three be appointed to solicit the neces-
sary funds, Carried. J. A. Lee, VIM.
Gregg, and H. B. Hawkins, are named. |
Messrs. Wolverton, Hine, Gilmore,
Norris, Larragote, and Danner volunteer
ed to take the petition to the outlying
places for signatures.
Moved and seconded that these minutes
be printed in the next issue of the EStan-
ia News. Carried.
Moved and seconded that we do now
adjourn. Carried,

Nothing Wasted.

A great deal has been said about utiliz-
ing all the parts of the hog when slaugh-
tered in some Of the large packing houses.
All parts ofa steer are saved in much the
same way The blood is used in refining
sugar and is hardened and manufactured
into door knobs The skin goes to the tan
ner; the horns and hoofs are turned into
combs and buttons; the shin bones into
backs of brushes. The bones of the feet
are worth SIS ton to be made into col
lar buttons, umbrela handles and.Narious
novelties, after the marrow has been
boiled out of them. The small bones are
used instead of fuel. From each foot
considerable oil is extracted. The hair is
made into mattresses, the fat is made
into oleo, the intestines into sausage cas-
ingS or sold to gold beaterS and the undi-
gested contents of the stomach are made
into paper, while the finest camel's hair
is found within the ears. The residue Is
turned into fertilizer.

PROTECTING THE CLIFF
JEWELLERS RUINS

Representative Hogg has secured fav'
orable report on his bill to establish a
public park to protect the ruins of the
cliff dwelling in the southwestern part of
this state. A favorable report was also
made on similar bill introduced by
Representative Lacy to protect certain
cliff dweller ruins in New Mexico.
The establishment of these parks is
called for by the fact that relic hunters
have so invaded the localities where the
ruins of the cliff dwellings stand that
there is danger that these remains of a
prehistoric civilization will be destroyed.
A large amount of material has been
taken from the ruins and may now be
found in either public or private colec-
tions. In this way sufficient means has
been provided for the study Of the con-
ditons under which the ancient in
habtants lived, and there is no further
need of excavations that might endanger
the buildings and otherwise mar their
historic interest.
twill be impracticable to prevent In
roads of the kind feared unless sufficient
land including the ruins is set apart as
public parks and placed in care Of custod-
ians. BY this means the ruins may be
protected, and at the same time provision
can be made for whatever Improvements
may be needle to enable tourists to visit
the localities without subjecting them
selves to great inconvenience and discom-
fort. These places should be KEEP, open
for visitors, but removal of any of the
relics should be prevented. This will
make the employment of a custodian and
an adequate number of guards necessary.

Missionary Raising Sheep.

William Mcintosh, of Torrance county,
New Mexico, is one the big sheepmen at
the the convention. Mr.. Mcintosh is
scotch and proud of it. In addition to
looking after Ioo, 900 sheep, he finds time
to keep up a Scotch band, with bagppes
and pibrochs galore, at his ranch.
" Left Black Hawk, Colo, twenty sew.
en- years ago as a missionary" he tells
his auditors. But the missionary busi-
ness was not good. I'm the owner of
sheep upon thousand hills" he con.
tinued, paraphrasing the scriptural verse,
which he learned in his missionary days.

with whom we have talked upon this
assessment matter nearly all of them
were in favor Of fixing a certain per
cent. Of the actual value as the basis
upon which to assess all property
say one.third the value. OF course,
it will be said that this could not be
done under our laws which require
all property to be listed at its actual
value. How then can the state board
assess bank stock at so per cent. of
its value; land at S8.67 per acre
which is about one fourth its value;
cattle at $S, $l4, and Sl8 per head,
or about one-half their, value, etc..
etc. La our humble opinion the
board has exceeded its authority,
and has also given US a schedule
that is unfair. Take the whole list
through and hardly any two items
are based on the same per cent. Of
valuation and yet they expect an
equitable assessment, and the rail-
roads get off easiest of any. They
pay on a valuation of $5,s3l andS5,073
per mile, which is only about what
the rails on the track cost. The farm
er pays taxes on his farm, farming
machinery. horses, cattle, and every
thing used to operate his farm,
while the railroads pay upon less
than the cost of the steel rails. Their
assessment is supposed to cover
right of way, depots, shops, water
tanks, gravel pits, ties, rails and a
just share of the rolling stock used
to operate the system. Do you think
they pay their fair snare or the
taxes? These same roads are no
doubt bonded at from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile in this state. On a
borrowing CAPACITY of that sum
they paid $3.50 tax. A farmer who
owns a section Of land can borrow
not to exceed $4,000 or $4,000 on
the land, and yet he will pay SI20
on the land. Is it fair?-Salem

@ ASSESSMENT.

In his Canistota Clipper OF last
week Bro. Hammond calls attention
to the inequality of the assessment
this year on the basis provided, and
says there is some complaint his way
because of the different valuations.
He says: Don't see what the county
auditors and state board could have
been thinking about at their meeting
in Pierre when they placed the value
on hive stock so high and the value
on land so low, comparatively. For
instance: An ordinary COW must be
listed at $14. Land in this part Of
McCook county is assessed at a little
over SO per acre. 1t will be seen by
this that the i owning COWS is
paying taxes on one-half the actual
value. of his property while the own
er of real estate gets off with a one
fourth valuation" The inequality
is plainly seen in the instance cited
and is one we had intended bringing
up. But Bro. Hammond should not
blame the county auditor. They
had no voice in making the schedule
at Pierre. The state board Of equal
ization made the schedule and in.
structed the auditors. not giving
them a vote on the matters brought
up. And this reminds us that the
money paid for this auditors meeting
was in a measure thrown away, as
they could have received the same
instructions by mail. Ii we have
correctly understood the auditors
