RAILROAD RIDE IN SAN JUAN.

Last Friday we had the unique
and new experience of taking a
ride on a railroad in San Juan
county. Many Of our citizens
have waited twenty years in the
hope Of being able to do this, and
now their wish can be realized.
We left the Durango yards at
6:3o a. M, and after considerable
switching in the yards at camp
headquarters, we left for the run
down the valley. We occupied
a position where we could see the
road ahead of us. and we we're
surprised not only at the excel
lence of the grade. but at the
many stretches of straight track
that came on our view as we
passed down the line. We rode
as far as the end Of the track.
which was then about six miles
above Aztec. Hust-
Ter.

The New Mexico good roads
convention, which will be held in
Las Vegas while the Northern
New Mexico fair is in progress,
ought to be made a memorable
occasion. 1t ought to accomplish
much for the progress of road
building and the proper main
tenance of present highways and
public roads, Every county and
every town of any size should be
represented by intelligent and pa
triotic citizens at the gathering.
In addition to a fair and Just as
sessment and an honest collec-
ton of taxes. this territory needs
good public roads and highways.
Were these three had, this would
be one of the most prosperous
commonwealth in the United
States.-New Mexican.

ANOTHER FOOL IN PRINT.

From that savory suburb
known to fame as Sykesville, Nj.
D., comes to us a lot of silly twad-
die signed by one Francis B.
Livesey. Quotations from VIM.
+. Curtis puerile observations on
the Pueblo Indian are enclosed in
support of the imbecile theories
advanced.
If this man Livesey were en-
dowed with brains or influence
he would be dangerous. His in
stincts are criminal, but his pow
ers are much limited. His twad-
die is a brutal. ignorant attack
upon the public schools. but If it
were ever SO sound in theory. no
self-respecting newspaper could
publish it. The man can't write
English, he wanders like one in a
labyrinth, he is diffuse. redundant
and complex to such an extent

NO EXTRA SESSION.

Henry Clews says: The sig,
nifcant news of the week, taking
a long-range view OF the situa-
ton, has been the authoritative
information that President
Roosevelt will not, after all, call
an extra session Of congress to
meet Immediately after the No
vember elections for the purpose
of considering railroad rate legis-
lation. Responsible intimation is
also made that there will be no
urgent demand in administra-
ton circles for radical tariff leg
islation. This, for a time al
least, removes two possible in
huences Of acute disturbance; il
does not mean that either subject
will be summarily disposed OF
without action; but promises, in
stead, action in both instances, on
conservative lines, to allow adc-
quate examination and discussion
with the generally beneficial re-
suits that usually follow sucf
sane methods Of consideration
1t means, in the first instance,
that broadminded railroad mer
and broadminded business mer1
will be able to agree upon legisla-
ton that will keep in check the
determinations that have been
practiced in the past by railroad
interests not so broadminded. In
the case of tariff legislation the
necessity for drastic action is
gradually diminishing as the sue
cessive monthly reports of our
foreign commerce are published.
The foreign trade figures for the
month of July are now available
and indicate a continuance of the
record movement Of merchandise
in both directions--the higher inn
port figures meaning naturally a
corresponding increase in govern
ment revenues and the larger ex-
ports bringing into the country
increased purchasing power eth
'er in the form Of gold or through
the regular sterling exchange ma
chinery. During the month Of
July the imports of merchandise
showed an increase of $I2,7oo,-
900, compared with July a year
ago, while the exports of mer-
chandisc exceeded the imports by
more than S24,ooo,o 900.

WHAT WORK 10 ACCOMPLISHING
IN ROOSEVELT COUNTY. /.

Five years ago the township in
which Portales, the county seat OF
Roosevelt county is situated, was
considered scarcely fit for a cattle
range, as it was estimated that it
would take the grass from about
the fifty acres to subsist one steer
for twelve months. 1t was part
of arid America that was all arid
in the true sense of the word. Be-
hold the change! The following
from the Portales Herald gives
the story. in sublime or elo-
quent language. but IN matter of
fact sSptences that AZ interesting

Indian corn looks like it would
make forty bushels of corn to the

effects of bayonet attacks in the present war, but Mir. Takahira very politely de- clined, and the general stan has been obliged to proceed with the investigation on such information as had been ob- tained from our own officers in Man. churia.
 Minister Takahira informed Secretary Taft that the Japanese government felt obliged to adhere strictly to the policy of retaining all information of whatever sort until after the war, when this gov ernment will be placed in possession of full facts and figures. This appears to be an overcautious policy, and the army officers here cannot understand what harm could come to the Japanese by re- porting the effects of their bayonet and sword attacks in the recent battles in Manchuria. The army experts are anx- ious to learn the results of bayonet at- tacks, as there is suspicion that ths loss of life from that weapon is not as great as has been represented. Medical officers say that if this is proven it will be an interesting discovery and will present new phase of the value of the bayonet, the moral influence of which has been well established.
 The declination of the Japanese minis. ter to give any information on this sub. ject is another illustration of that reti. cence which has been so marked on the part of Japan all through the present war.

AFRICAN HOSPITALITY.
Considered the Duty of Every Citizen to Entertain Strangers With
 out Compensation.

Hospitality may be considered as one of the characteristics of not only the Veis, but of the whole African race, It is considered the duty of every citi- zen to entertain strangers without the smallest compensation, writes the au- thor of "Africa's Appeal to Christen- dom," in Century. Places of rest stand always open, and when these are found occupied by strangers, g man goes and tells his wife, who will send her serv- ants with water for the strangers to wash their feet; for, as they wear no shoes, they naturally need such &C., commodation. Afterward rooms and cloth wrappers are given them, food is brought from all quarters. or they are invited to eat with the people. They continue to be so provided for, even If they stay months. Their garments are also washed and returned to them. On leaving, they generally make a small gift to the wife of the host, though not more than two or three cola nuts or two or three English peu- niea.

To prevent forward or backward movement, eight strong iron hooks are attached by sta pies to the sides of the cross-arms, and when placed upon the bed-pieces are readily hooked into the staples, A. Thus arranged, one man can easily place the rigging upon or take 1t from the wagon. Or. if desired, bolts may be used to fasten all together, by passing them through the cross arms and bed-pieces; there is not 25 cents difference in the expense.

President Roosevelt. It is persistently reported that Mr. Prick will at some time in the near future enter President Roosevelt's cabinet. The portfolio which is to be offered him has not been so positively predicted. There is a strong impression, however, that if Sec retary Shaw retires next February, as it has been intimated he may, then Mir. Prick will be invited to become the finan- cial head of the government.
 MT. Prick has had a phenomenally sue. cessful business career and is financier of high rank. He has amassed great wealth in the coke business and in the steel business in connection with the Carnegie interests. He Is much more democratic than the Laird oi Skibo." He has had taste of politics and in quiet way has had good deal to do with local and state affairs. He was very warm friend and supporter of the late Senator M. s. Quay, of Penn. sylvania, and is a close personal friend of former Attorney General, now Sena. tor, P. c. Knox.
 President Roosevelt became personal. ly acquainted with Mir Prick three years ago this summer, when he attended Fourth of July celebration in Pittsburg. as the orator of the day and guest of honor, and was entertained by Mir. Prick at the Glatter's 'palatialr home, in the Smoky city. Since then the Pittsburger has been frequent visitor at the white house, and fine painting representing Pittsburg with her glowing furnaces which hangs in MT. Rooseyelt's study is a token of MT. Tricks regard for the president. MT. Prick also engaged the French artist, Chartran, to paint a pic. ture of the signing of the peace protocol with Spain, and presented that to the late President Mckinley as an addition to the white house collection of paint tngs. The picture cost S20,0O0.
