Hadley then asked Rogers if he was
connected with the Standard Oil Com

the business of the Standard Oh Com.

Attorneys Present.
The Santa Fe Railway Company was
represented by Judge H. l.. Waldo o1

The Rock Island Railway Company
was represented by Attorney w. A.
Hawkins Of FL Paso.
Sc aral other railroad attorneys
who had expected to be present did
not reach Santa Fe until this after
noon and were. unable to appear al
the morning session.
Az d meeting last September, the
boa,4 decided to defer action on the
question of railroad taxation until the
January meeting. AS result the
problem came before the members
this morning. No action was taken
however, but there was a great deal
said on all sides of the question. The
long table In the travelling audltor'a
Office was Uttered with papers con
tanning statements Of mileage, valua
tions, figures of comparison and Off
cial looking documents. incidentally
tlsro was a full box of good cigars
at one end and hot air, straight talE
and jocose remarks mingled freely
with tobacco smoke.
The discussion was to some extent
upon the feasibility of adopting an
entirely new basis of taxation for all
lines in the Territory. Along just
what lines such a basis would be ar
ranged, caused some lively arguments
Wants Fair Play.
In speaking for the Santa Fe, Judge
Waldo spoke pointedly and convinc
ingly. 7'f'
Il am willing to be more than fair
gentlemen" he said, but feel thai
the knife Is being stuck into my
road"
The judge said in substance that he
believed In as uniform system o1
railroad taxation as 1t was possible te
make, but that the portion of the San
ia Fe Railway line in New Mexico
south of Albuquerque, could not be
considered part of the main line and
should not be so held. There were al
lusions to the tax assessment Of other
roads in southern New Mexico, whose
main lines ran through that part oi
the Territory and which roads, In com
parison. have less Of tax burden
than have the Santa Fe System
branches south of Isleta.

Pecos Copper Com
pany Accused of
Cutting Trees.
MUCH WOOD IS ATTACHED
By Order Acting Supervisor
Kneipp .-- Ranger Measur-
ing Stumpage on Claims.

There are indications that there
will be big law suit In regard to
alleged timber cutting on the Pecos
Forest Reserve by the miners near
Cowles.
Ranger Stewart Is at present
at the mines and is looking over the
ground. When seen today Acting Su-
pervisor Kneipp stated that two hun
dred and seventy cords of wood had
been attached by him and that Rang
er Stewart was measuring the stumps
on three mining claims Of 20 acres
each where the timber had been cut
land used for the mines.
1t Is claimed by the government that
the copper company has taken up
placer claims and has used the tim.
ber for the mines on the lode claims
contrary to the law. The company
claims that 1t has only used the
timber that 1t had right to use.
Building Ditch.
In addition to the trouble caused In
this way the company has recently
run the line for an irrigation ditch for
a long distance through the reserve.
1t is not thought that there will be
any trouble on this score, however.
as comparatively little timber was
cleared away and most of that was
either on the property Of the company
or on private claims.
1t was rumored that the trouble
would close the mines but it Is stated
on good authority that there Is enough
fuel on private property to prevent
this trouble.

THE CAsTELLANE DIVORCE
CASE.

It is indeed unfortunate and re-
grettable that the Countess de Cas-
teQane. nee Gould. of France, should
be brought to the necessity of un-
dergoing the trial of a legal 'sePara+
ton from her husband, who, if ae5
counts be correct, is one of the
meanest. most despicable, unprin-
IcipIed, dishonorable specimens OF
aristocratic masculinity who ever
bad the great fortune of hoodwink-
ing an american heiress.
The great Wealth Miss Gould
brought to the Count aroused an in

rather that they are trying to win

A signal evidence of the general

fact that the Pennsylvania railroad

ten per cent. in the wages OF en-

amounting to less than $500 a

y
senator Elkins WAS assuredly ylu-
dicatcd in his state Tuesday. when
The people elected five Republican
congressman by overwhelming ma
jorities and legislature that :
Overwhelmingly OF his political
faith. No where in the whole coun-
Try has there been ii greater ,testi-
roonial of the worth of an United
SStategssenator. The election in this
state results in his recollection 10
the Jnited States senate. There
Gamble no question about>that, or al
least no opposition to him has yet
developed and there is but little, II
any, probability that there will be
any other aspirant for the place.
The principal reason the Iele-
gram asserts that Elkins has been
vindicated is that he has triumphed
over his political enemy--the DEM
ocratic party. II is recalled quite
wildly that one of the main issues
of the campaign just ended was
senator Elkins. The Democrats
advanced an argument against his
record, they found all sorts of faults
with him. They tried to prejudice
the people against him. They urg-
ed the defeat of the Republican cam
didates for the legislature in order
that Senator Elkins might not be
returned to the senate. They made
a campaign of abuse against him.
They did every thing possible 10
convince the people that he was not
the proper man to represent them IN
the senate.
But the people have again spoken
in his favor and he will be return
ed to the senate. When that takes
place the coming winter, his
triumph will be complete.
