ASSESSMENT QUESTION
Department of Finance Have Not Yet
 Decided What to Do.

It is understood that the depart ment of finance has not yet decided what to do regarding the mix-up over the assessment question. There can be no doubt but that people who hold receipts showing that they have paid will get their liens released, but 1t IS quite likely that people who claim to have paid, but lost or mislaid their re- ceipts, will have to settle again. Noth- ing can be done by the city until Col onel Burpce submits a statement set ting forth what he believes he does owe and is willing to pay. According to the contract entered into between Colonel Burpee and the board of ti- nance, he is not obliged to pay any thing, for the books do not show that he is indebted to the city to the amount of a penny, but he admits that he owes something and will pay what he thinks is right. Nobody ever claimed that the books showed that Cloonel Burpee owed anything, so that when the agreement was signed between him and the board of finance 1t was useless to go to the expense Of an investigation, since it was a well established fact that he had no ac- count with the city and nothing was charged to him. The whole trouble was how to account for what became of the money for which property own CTS hold receipts representing sums ot money paid to Colonel Burpee or his authorized agents and for which no credits appear on the eomptrollers books. This situation has not been changed materially by the report Of the experts from what was unaarthed by Messrs Lord and McEvoy. and as a consequeiice the city is far from the end of the snarl. The, only thing that can be done now is to accept what Colonel Burpee is willing to pay. cred it everybody who presents a receipt for the amount mentioned thereon, and-well. it Is up to the city fathers to take the word of people who are ready to make oath that they paid but cannot find their receipts, or turn them down and compel them to make good. "What else can you dOT re- marked one of the officials to re- porter. '"There are men who wouldn't take a false oath to save themselves from paying a bill, but others have very little scruples about such things, and so far as can see all will have to be treated alike. The man who cannot produce receipt will have to pay what is charged against him and all who have receipts will have to be credited with what they represent. Do you know of any other way out of the muddle?"

ST. nARY'S ALUMNI
Items That Are Interesting to hem-
 bers and Friends.

There will be a meeting of the Forum club this evening at o'clock.
 The arrangement committee for the annual reception to be held at Leayen- worth hall on December 29 are work ing diligently for the affair. As large number of the members will be home from school during that week the event should be one long to be remembered.
 The parlOrs which were recently opened are being beautified by the con- tributiOns of pillows, needle work. etc, the work of the young ladies of the association.
 Nothing has yet been done toward the formation of a basketball team at the alumni this year. The organiza- ton has some very promising material and all is needed is for some one to take the initiative and push the thing along. It Is also the desire of several of the members to form an athletic as- sOciation and put all kinds of sporting teams in the field. Years ago St Mary's had one of the fastest base ball mines in the state and many of the old players are still around. There is plenty of time between now and spring to think the matter over. and Presi- dent James Brennan intends tO make a canvass of the alumni and see what can be done In regard to such an un- dertaking.
 When the Forum debating club was organized plans were under way for the formation of a literary society among the girls. but the idea seems to have fallen through

Isn't itOueer :?

How trifiing some people think of their health? They drink, drink and drink, and do not care or think for a moment what they are drinking. Some people will drink a cup of tea or coffee just because 1t was poured from q tea or coffee pot; they wouldn't know wheth- CT it was the first or second drawing, or some that one of their neighbors sent in because they were arrald 10 drink it themselves. Of course there are large number of people who know what nice, good tlavore1 tea or coffee is, particularly the people who drink the kind we sell. IT they are buying at our store any lengtn ol time you can't fool them because thelr taste will be educated properly Say. we were dumbfounded to read in New York paper the other day where the American and British "Jackies" were to be entertained at Coney Island, ana on the bill of fare not one cup or tea was to be had, yet there was twenty six thousand bottles of beer and only 25 pounds of cake and 100 gallons or coffee. Of course there was lots or meats, fish. etc. but just see what they had to drink. How can they be good citizens or brave soldiers and be able to punish 26.OO0 bottles of beer i'll couple of hours. No. sirree, 1T you want to be brave soldier, good citl- zen and enjoy first-rate health, drink nothing stronger than good tea and coffee, the kind we sell will fill the bill This week we give 14-qt bread raiser with a pound of our warranted good Baking Powder. 45c per pound, at

ANOTHER ISTHMIAN CANAL.
It Is Believed That This Government is
in Position to Block It.

There Is complete absence of knowledge
at the State Department. the British en-
bassy and the Japanese legation of the
agreement reported from Mexico between
Great Britain and Japan to build a ship
canal by the Nicaragua route In opposition
to the projected Panama canal. An abso-
lutte prohibition against the construction of
such canal by any third power or pow
ers or, in fact. by any agency not direct
ay authorized by the United States and
Great Britain, was contained in the Clay
tom Bulwer treaty. But this convention was
superseded by the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
of 1901, though there is. in the minds OF
some of the officials here. still ground for
the contention that the spirit of the old
convention survives in the new. and that
when in the latter case the British govern
ment gave permission for the United States
to construct canal by whatever route
may be considered expedient," IT did not
expressly limit the choice of the United
States and preclude 1t from afterward Sc
lecttng still another route than Panama.
In fact. 1t is pointed out that this govern
ment has all along kept alive its option to
select the Nicaragua route at any time 1t
pleased, and 1t is therefore In a position to
prevent any other nation from undertaking
the canal-buildlng project there without its
express consent.

The morning session yesterday was taken
up with discussions on various topics pro-
vided for in the regular program. The first
was on What Are the Minimum Condi-
tons That Universities Should Be Able to
Furnish In Order to Be Justified in At
tracing Graduate Students?" The discus
sion was opened by President Ayers of the
University of Tennessee Following this
WAS a paper on THE Minimum Conditions,
Environment etc, Favorable to Graduate
Work" by Chancellor Strong of the Uni
versity of Kansas. The morning session
closed with discussion on How Far is
the State University Justified in Undertake
ing Graduate Work? Ought 1t Enter the
General Field of Research" by Presi-
dent Bryan of the University of Indiana.
The discussions were participated In by
President Mclean of Iowa, President Buck
ham Of Vermont and President Kane OF
Washington. The general conclusion was
that it was necessary for the state univer-
stiles to enter the field OF graduate work
and original research to prevent the field
from becoming the recognized property of
what might be termed an aristocracy Of
learning in a few of the larger universities
of the country.

SNOW ON THE TRAIL.
Thunder Mountain Camp VIII Soon
Be Isolated.

DR.. and Mrs. c.. G. Kilgour, Mrs.
Edyth b. Craig and Mrs. L. C. Mitch
ell and daughter comprise party
that arrived yesterday from Roosevelt
and are now the guests of the Idanha,
says the Boise Statesman. DR.. Kill
gour said they had a very hard trip
out as they encountered about two
feet of snow and in some places the
snow had .thawed and then frozen
again, making the hillsides very slip
perry and difficult to get over. He
said there was a storm just behind
them and he thought their party
would probably be the last one that
would be able to come out for some
time.
The doctor had been located at
Roosevelt for about a year and a
half and Is thoroughly acquainted
with the camp. Owing to the early
winter, he said, conditions seemed
somewhat depressed but the outlook
for spring was very bright. The un-
usual early snow, said the doctor,
would prevent a number OF the mines
from accomplishing outside work that
had been planned. The Dewey, he
said was continually increasing Its

to time, and as the reservoir will be
relatively deep in proportion to its
surface area, there will not be exces-
sive evaporation. The Las Cruces sys-
tenn will be utilized for distribution
purposes and the main canal extended
along the valley on the east side Of
the river
Water may be taken across the
river in pipes to irrigate the west side;
electric power generated by drops in
the canal may be used to run pumps
for that purpose, or a separate canal
can head at the west end of the diver
sion dam. other diversions will be
made above this point as found neces-
sary or practicable. Below The Pass,
or International dam site, existing ca
nails will be used to distribute water
to the lands in Texas and Mexico. The
great dam will make possible the de-
velopment of power by which the un-
derground water may be pumped to
the surface, and thus increase the ir-
rigable acreage; 1t will also prevent
for all time the destructive floods
which annually visit the valley.
Fortunes in the Soil.
The wonderful fertility Of the soil is
evidenced wherever sufficient water
is properly applied. Last year one
onion grower realized a profit in ex-
cess of $500 from less than an acre
of Bermuda onions. At the st. Louis
exposition a farmer exhibited stalks
of sugar cane grown in the Rio Grande
valley and was awarded the gold med
al over all competitors, including
those from Cuba and Hawaii. Mar
velous yields Of alfalfa, cereals, vege-
tables and fruit are also produced.
The settlers are fully alive to the
benefits which will accrue to them by
the construction Of this system, and
are eager to cooperate with the gov
eminent by pledging their lands
through the Water Users associations
formed for the purpose in both Texas
and New Mexico. to return the entire
cost Of the project to the government
