Porto Ricans Complain.

There are eleven members of
the executive council of Porto
Rico. Five mem bers are Porto
Ricans, the other six are from
this country. The five complain
that the six Americans do not
consult with them, nor even invite
them to meetings of the council.
Itis no wonder that the native
members feel aggrieved. If
what they say is true, they can
complain of bad manners on the
part of their fellow mem bers, as
well as more serious things.
The majority owed courtesy to
the minority, even if it did not
care for it's advice.
IfPorto Rico had been brought
unwillingly under the American
flag, the treatment OF the island
ers could be more easily justi-
fed. AS a matter Of fact the
Porto Ricans welcomed the
United States troops in 1898.
But General Miles proclamation
of the good things to be enjoyed
under American rule gave no
hints Of the Sights which the
islanders have since received. 1t
is not surprising that the Porto
Ricans favor the reorganization
of the island government.

Alfaro's Fifth.

The news that General Eloy
|Alfaro is at the head of the
Ecuador revolution explains a
good deal. General Alfaro is
one of the few remaining repre-
sentatives of a type of South
Americans who we're so common
fifteen or twenty years ago that
they came to be known as profes-
sional revolutionists. In his
younger days he was the friend
and associate of most Of the
famous revolutionists of other
South American countries and
this is at least his fifth revolution
in Ecuador. The number may
be somewhat greater, for his
torlans are not very painstaking
in keeping count of South
American revolutions.
The most famous of Alfaro's
revolutions occurred in 1895. At
the time he had been living for
some fifteen or sixteen years in
Panama, whittier he had been
exiled after an unsuccessful in
surrection. He kept up his as
sociation with the leading revolu-
tionists of South America, while
nominally living the life of a
simple business man. He was
however, gathering funds and
perfectlng an organization. When
the time came to strike he went
to New York and bought a good
supply of arms and ammunition,

His equipment proved to be so

made himself President when a
counter-revolution was raised
against him, but he put it down
with great energy. After that
he served his four years peace
fully and was reelected, so he
did not go out of Office till 1901.
Then he turned the government

Russia Promises Sunlight.

One Of the rays of sunlight in
Russia is the summary retire
ment of nineteen generals be-
cause they are hostile to the pro
posed reforms. They are up
holders of the old bureaucracy
and the bad ways of the bureau
crazy. And as it cannot be per-
ceived that they have been useful
in the council of war, they can
well be spared.
Perhaps their going will put
the army in closer ympathy
with the reforms. But this is
not the chief benefit of their re-
moval. This wholesale head Hop
ping is a notice that the Govern
ment does intend to clean out it's
bureaus and try sincerely to es-
ia blish the reforms. The retire
ment of nineteen useless gen.
erals does not do away with all
the obstructions, but it indicates
that the Government means to
level or get around obstacles and
esta blish better things in Russia.

NEWS NOTES FROM FAlUvIEw.
A Chieftain Correspondent Writes
of Snow, Election, Earth

Farview, n. M. Nov. 20.
Dear Chiefta
Our little village, just now
coldly beautiful and beauti-
fully cold under its mantle
of snow, is undergoing the
usual invasion preceding the
opening of the school next Mon
day. Not the number of families,
but the number in each family,
sometimes not more than two
families of the correct strain,
being sufficient to swell the
grand total of attendance to the
congestive point.
AS to the election, our
treasurer, J. c. Plemmons,
will enter upon his fourth
term of Office with the coming
year. w. c. Kendall and Frank
Luna will step out as gracefully
as may be, and give up the
Offices of sheriff and school
superintendent to Edward Tafoya

Kendall and Luna have filled
their positions with credit.

THURSDAY MORNINGS QUAKE
Was a Pretty Severe One but No
Serious Damage was Done.


Socorro was shaken by another
severe earthquake at about TWEEN
ty minutes past five o'clock Thurs
day morning, Nov. Is, but no ser
ious damage was done. Four
chimneys that had recently been
rebuilt on the court house were
thrown down and two others
we're badly cracked. The north
west corner of the second story
of the Masonic building fell out
later i'll the day. The building
is an adobe structure and the
walls of this corner had been in
a bad condition for some time
owing to their having been
thoroughly soaked with water.
Several bricks fell from the in
side of the front gable of Capt.
Nj. Cooney's residence on Nc
Cutchen avenue, tearing hole
through the ceiling and smash
ing some furniture below. Mrs.
Jas. O.. Fitch lost about forty
dollars worth of fine chiuaware
by the falling of hanging shelf
upon the sideboard. ]. j. Lee
son and Frank Abeytia suffered
the loss of considerable china
ware by its being thrown from
the shelves to the floor. The
early morning shock was follow
ed by several slight tremors dur
ing the day. The disturbance
spread over a wide area. The
shock was distinctly felt at AL
buquerque, Santa Fe, and as far
as Las Vegas on the north, to
the Pecos valley on the east, to
El Paso on the south, and be-
yond Magddlena and Kelly on
the west. No serious damage
was done anywhere and at Socor-
TO, at least, the quake caused
little or no excitement.

School Money Received

Governor Hagerman is in re-
ceipt of a check to the amount
of S5,115.35, which came from
the federal government and
represents the 5 per cent of all
sales of public lands in New
Mexico for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1906. Under the act
of congress approved June 21,
1906, this percentage of all sales
of public lands in this territory
is placed to the credit of the
common schools of New Mex
leo. This amount will be
turned over to the territorial
treasurer for that purpose. Next
year, the governor states, this
sum will, in all probability, be
considerable larger.

THE LARGEST TAX SUIT
Over 100000 Claimed by Dona
Ana County from Numa
Raymond.

Numa Raymond of Geneva,
Switzerland, formerly a resident
of Las Cruces, who had just re-
turned to New Mexico, is named
as the defendant in a suit in
which Dona Ana County is
plaintiff, for the recovery of S157-
643.S6, which it is asserted is
due for back taxes and taxes
that have been evaded. Papers
in the case were served on Mr..
Raymond yesterday while he
was visiting in this city. He
left at ofce for Las Cruces.
The suit was filed several months
ago in the district court for
Dona Ana County but it was
not made public until the arrival
of the defendant from Switzer-
land. The suit is based upon
the allegation that there are
taxes due the Territory and Dona
County on bonds and mortgages
which it it asserted were help by
the defendant during the period
between 1884 and 1908 inclusive
and on which he made no returns.
This case is the largest suit for
back taxes ever filed in this
Territory and should the de-
fendant be forced to pay the sum
prayed for, it is said that the
county debt of Dona Ana would
be liquidated, Santa Fe New
Mexican.

MOUNTED POLICE ARE BUSY
Sergeant Bob Lewis and Lieutenant
Cipriano Baca Arc on the War
path

The following from the Albu-
querque Citizen indicates that
the mounted police are keeping
a sharp lookout for lawbreakers.
Says the Citizen:
Sergeant Robert Lewis Of
of the territorial mounted police
passed through the city this
morning en- route to Santa Fe
having in charge a man arrested
at Rincon, giving his name as
Will Butler, but thought to be
John Masner, who is wanted at
Lawson, Oklahoma, for obtaining
money under false pretenSes.
The man stoutly denies that he
is the man wanted and the police
are Just as certain that lie is the
man. A picture of him was sent
to Lawson and identified as a
likeness of Masner. Butler was
following herding cows near
Rincon, which was the vocation
of Masner in Oklahoma Mr..
Lewis also had with him a demen-
ted native woman 70 be confined
in the territorial asylum at Las
Vegas. Lieutenant Cipriano
Baca of the mounted police, was
on the same train with Sergeant
Lewis and was on his way to
Estancia on official business.

THE STORMKING RACES
Socorro Is Visited by Genuine Win
ter Weather This Week.

Socorro has had a taste of
genuine winter weather this
week, which fortunately is ex-
ceedinglY rare so early in the
season. The trouble began
Sunday with a snow storm which
continued fitfully until Monday
afternoon. The snowfall
amounted to two or three inches,
but a good deal of it melted as
fast as it fell. Following the
snowstorm came a drop in the
temperature, the minimum
being thirteen degrees above
zero. Wintry as conditions were
at Socorro, they were much more
so in other parts of the territory.
Even as far south as FL Paso
the temperature was the same as
at Socorro and the cold was
aggravated by an eight-inch
snowfall. The snow was report
ed to be two feet deep over in
Pecos valley. The northern
part of the territory of course
suffered most on account of
higher latitude and altitude.
The storm extended far over
neighboring states.

LAMBS LED TO THE SLAUGHTER
$4,000 Shipped Already This Sea-
son From Magdalena TO East
ern Markets.

The uninformed will be able
to learn something of the extent
of Socorro county's sheep aud
wool growing industry from the
statement that two growers alone,
MeSsrS. Solomon Luna and
Frank A. Hubbell, have shipped
$4,000 lambs this season from
Magdalena TO eastern markets.
Hon. II. O. Bursum, also one of
the most extensive growers in
the county, is now making a
shipment of several thousand
lambs from his ranges southeast
of Socorro to market by way
of the Rock Island road. Besides
these there is a large number of
smaller sheep and wool growers
whose shipments of lambs from
the county would swell the
total number to nearly if not
quite 100000. When it is re-
membered that a good lamb now
brings 50. so on eastern markets,
it will be seen that SocorrO
county derives a princely revenue
from this source.

DELEGATE AND STATEHOOD.
The Vote Cast As Shown by Official
Returns from Various Counties.

Territorial Secretary ]. w.
Reynolds has received the
official election returns from Rio
Arriba and Bernalillo counties
and now only the returns
from Guadalupe and Chaves
counties are missing, the latter
being probably on the auto
mobile with the mail that was
stuck between Torrance and
Roswell on account of the snow
storm, says the Albuquerque
Citizen. The official returns
from Rio Arriba county show that
Delegate Andrews received in
that county 1928 votes, and o.
A. Larrazolo 1854, a plurality
for Larrazolo of 231, more
than had been reported. For
statehood, Rio Arriba gave
676 votes, and against it 2,038
votes. The total vote for
Delegate Andrews in the terri
tory now stands p, 500, for
Larrazolo 22,621, a plurality for
Andrews of 275 and total
vote, not counting the socialist
and scattering votes, of 45,517.
The scattering votes will run
this up to about 10000. For
statehood, 25,662 votes were
cast, and against it l4,747,
giving statehood majority of
10,9l5, and a total vote on the
question of 40, 400.
