$4,000, whereas the present structure
cost some $4,000 less. This was due
to the fact that a few enterprising
citizens secured for the use of the city
public schools, the old Fort Marcy
Reservation.
The records of the board of educa.
ton show that the board has realized
in sales and rents since the Fort Marcy
Military Reservation was acquired by
the city and given to the Board Of
Education, by executive proclamation
of President Roosevelt, $20,421. AS
one passes to and from the Federal
Building he cannot help being i'm.
pressed with the great change on that
reservation that has taken place since
it was donated to the city. The adobe
walls that lined the streets have been
torn down and cleared away, the
grounds leveled, many lots sold and
some nice cottages erected. Instead Of
the dilapidated condition In which the
reservation had been for some years.
in which condition 1t gave the appear
ance of sore spot upon the city, 1t
is now an attractive residence portion.
BY the sales of lots on the reserva-
ton, number of good citizens have
been added to the population. Among
those who have purchased residences
and become citizens of Santa Fe are
Governor Herbert J. Hagermaa, ex-
Governor Miguel A. Otero, District
Clerk A. M. Bergere, J. A. Martinez.
Internal Revenue Collector H. P, Bard
shar, Special Agent Dezendorf and
others.
No Improvement Made Since 1894.
1t will be remembered that the War
Department removed the troops from
the Fort Marcy Reservation in 1894.
that the property was turned over to
the Interior Department and custodi
ans placed in charge. Since then
there have been no betterments or Inn
provements in the reservation. The
residences were occupied rent free by
those who were fortunate enough to
obtain possession. The citizens or
Santa Fe who had property to rent
seriously complained of this condition.
1t was repeatedly urged that the In
terror Department. sell the property
and take 1t out of competition with
houses that were offered for rent and
upon which owners were paying taxes
1t should be remembered that while
this property was running down for
want of repairs, citizens who owned
residences for rent were bearing the
burden of taxation while the reserva-
tion property was being occupied rent
free and contributed nothing to the
tax funds of the city and county.
In 1904 a petition was sent to Wash.
ington through l. Sparks, then mayor
asking that this reservation be given
to the city of Santa Fe. The petition
stated that the object Of obtaining this
reservation was to have the city OIL
cials turn the same over to the Board
of Education for the benefit Of the

CONGRESS- OPPOSITION KILLS STMPLIFIED SPELLNCI
WhdraW Order Public
o mporn -Resoutkn Subject

washington. Dec. IA President
Roosevelt yesterday decided to with
draw his order to the public printer
calling for the use of the reform style
of spelling, and hereafter all docu-
ments will be printed in the old-fash-
ioned way, as was the case before his
decision last summer in favor of the
innovation. Opposition to the change
in the house, which did not favor the
new style, and was convinced the
country as a whole did not favor it, in
duced the president to decide to re-
scind his order.
OversIiadOwed other Questions.
Representative Landis of the joint
committee on spelling had a confer,
ence yesterday with the president, at
which Mr.. Roosevelt said he did not
wish to have spelling overshadow mat
ters of great Importance, and express
ed a willingness to revoke his order
for the new spelling in case the house
of representatives should go on record
as opposed TO the system.
Resolution Passed.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Landis
introduced the following resolution in
the house as result of this confer
ence;

The measure was passed without a

Order Causes Confusion.
The system of reform spelling was
put into effect by the president during
the recess of congress, and all public
documents supplied to the executive
departments have been printed in the
way. These documents have
been pouring in on congress ever since
the opening day, much to the dissatis.
faction of large majority of the men,
bers of the house. AS a result the gov
ernment printing Office was using two
forms of spelling in public printing
the old method for congress and the
reform method in the executive docu-
ments. This caused a confusion and
comment unfavorable to the reform,
and finally was made an issue between

New York, Dec. 14.-'"The major
