Glass in James Lick

delegation from the West of Castro

James Lick School.
This will obviate the necessity of
pupils being compelled to walk six
blocks to either school. The Board of
Education will in all likelihood carry

NJ. Sullivan, postmaster of Cripple
Creek, Colorado, who were charged
with bribery by Senator Richard Nor
gan during the governorship contest
District Attorney Stidger said that one
of the reasons for the dismissal of the
charges was the fact that Senator
Morgan was absent in Europe, and
that there were further reasons for
not anticipating conviction if the
cases were tried on account of Sena-
tor Morgan's action subsequent to the
time of the making of the sensational
accusations of attempted bribery.

Berlin, July 29.-The South Cameron

conflict recently with the French Sen
egales soldiers on the frontier Of the
French Congo over the question as to
whether certain territory is French or
German, reports to the foreign office
that in the fighting which took place
three Germans were killed, four made
prisoners and one French Senegales

is inquiring officially of the Cameron
government as to what really took
place. The French government will
doubtless in the meantime also be in
formed officially on the subject. The
will then be in a position
to locate the blame and take measures
to prevent such collisions in the future.
There is no disposition here to regard
the incident as likely to lead to any
thing serious, though Germany will

TO ESTABLISH SUMNER HOME.
of the Rock Island, Appreciates
Advantages of Climate.

On his recent trip to New Mexico,
Fl. U. Nudge, second vice president of
the Rock Island, decided to establish
a permanent summer home for him
self and family northeast of Santa
Fe, New Mexico. He stated to a
friend in Santa Fe, New Mexico, re-
Gently that he was about to purchase
forty acre tract of land in one of
the valleys of the Santa Fe range
upon which he would erect his sum-
mer residence. The house will be fin
ished in time for occupancy next sum-
mer.
81 will build a good, substantial
summer residence on the tract which
| am purchasing" said Mr.. Nudge,
'and ! expect to occupy it during
my vacations for rest and recreation
through the summer months as long
as ! live and my physical condition
permits"
Mr.. Nudge knows the upper Pecos
country thoroughly and says that after
camping there every summer for the
past twenty-five years he has found
it to be the most ideal summer resort
in the United States.
People who have been through the
Santa Fe range say that Mr.. Nudge
certainly exercised good judgment in
selecting that part of the country
for the location of his country seat.
The climate is unequalled and the
naar Santa Ea will some day
be one of the greatest summer re-
sorts in the world. The Santa Fe
and d. & r. G. railroads, are now
doing a little advertising to show
the people of the United States some
of the advantages of New Mexico II
is probable that they will soon COM

LIKE BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
Manifold Already Are the Returns
From Distribution of Bureau of

The following letter just received
by the Bureau of Inlmigra.
tlon from M. w. Porterfiel1
OF Silver City, who was ST.
perintendent of the New Mexico ex-
hibits, at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position at st. Louis, proves that the
literature published by the Bureau of
immigration and sent to the exposi-
tion for distribution among those
who desired information concerning
New Mexico, was of the right kind
and was greatly in demand. Mr.. Por-
terfield says:
Silver City, N. NJ, July 2S, 1905.
Colonel Max. Frost Secretary of
Bureau of immigration.
Dear Colonel Frost:--I deem it a
duty incumbent upon me to write and
say that among the many benefits re-
sulting from the participation of New
Mexico in the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position at st. Louis last year, was
the liberal distribution of literature
setting forth the many resources and
industries of the Territory, in which
the board of which | was manager, re-
ceived the most generous assistance
from the territorial Bureau of Immi-
grafton.
There were distributed during the
fair over 5000 copies of the report of
Governor Otero, over 1000 copies of
the Land of Sunshine" which was, by
the way, a most comprehensive and
Splendidly illustrated volume, issued
under the auspices of the Board of
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Mana
gers and, also, over 10000 copies of
the pamphlets published by the
Bureau of immigration. These pam
phets being of convenient size were
eagerly sought. They possessed an.
other advantage in that separate PAM
phlets were issued for each of the
then twenty-four counties of the Ter
ritory, and where an inquirer sought
information relative to any particular
county it was an easy matter to give
him the data for which he asked.
l certainly feel that the thanks of
he board and of the people of the
Territory are due you and your asso-
,iates upon the Bureau of Immigra-
ion. The results of the advertise
nents in connection with the splendid
exhibits made by the Territory are al
'eady manifesting themselves in the
arge number of persons who nave
been induced to seek homes in our
irrigated sections and those who are
INVESTING in the mineral resources of
he Territory, as wei. as in live stock
md mercantile lines.
Again thanking you for r active
md enthusiastic person -.-opera-
ion, | am, Yours very truly,
M. w. PORTERFIELD.
