LONDON-Like other cities. Lon.
don has its transportation problems,
and they are the more serious than
elsewhere because of the enormous
area and population involved. Greater
London now has nearly 100000 peo-
pie within its limits and includes a
solid mass of buildings thirty miles
in one direction and nineteen miles
in the other. There have been great
improvements in the local Transports
tion faculties during recent years, due
chiefly to American enterprise. The
late Charles T. Yerkes reorganized
the underground system Of railways
and brought 1t up-to-date, but the In
crease in population and the demand
for transportation seems to become
greater and greater every year as II

TALK OF SUGAR
FACTORY AT AZTEC
From the Index.

From the Index.
Now is the time to sit up and take
notice of the efforts of the Durango
board of trade to get sugar factory.
The sugar people have an expert In
this section. Mr.. Mitchell, who is at
tempting to get a guarantee of 5000
acres of beets. II this acreage is sup
piled factory will be built, probably
at Durango. Later the Montezuma
valley and Aztec or Pennington will
each secure factory as the increased
acreage iustifies. Secretary Arm
strong of Durango writes that II the
5000 acres can be secured before
erected for next years crop Repre-
sentatives of the factory will visit Az
tee and the valley soon and the farm
ers will be given chance to sign
up for as many acres as they wish.
The soil and climate of this valley
the returns are very profitable and
the work tending them is arduous.
Other places where factories are es-
tablished have prospered, land values
have doubled and the present seems
to be an opportunity for San Juan
county TO add new laurels to her
crown of production and new bank
accounts for the thrifty.
Later-Mr. Mitchell and Mr.. Arm.
strong arrived In Aztec yesterday and
hrli meeting in the conr' house,
which was attended by lhnut 25. II G
guarantee paner was signed for about
200 acres at the meeting. In all Mr..
Armstrong says 1,2O0 acres are re-
quired from this section. The paper
will be left at Aztec for the present
and those willing to subscribe will

FARMlNGToN OIL WELL.

From the Times Hustler.
The machinery for the new oil and
gas well is nearly all in place, ana
steam will be tried tomorrow. The
drill will begin its work Saturday
morning. A. R. Messick, who is in
charge, is thoroughly competent
man, and the men who are assisting
him have been with him in his drilling
in the Kansas fields.
The alacrity with which the machin-
cry has been put in place shows the
ability of the men in charge of the
work to do things. The drill will be
started Saturday morning and Super
intendent Messick says they will have
to encounter very hard drilling if they
do not make at least 200 feet per
week He has made an average OF
100 fet per day for / 200 feet in some
fields. Here of course, 1t is not
known what qualifications will be en-
couptered, which makes it difficult IL
estimate the time 1t will require to
complete the hole. However. unless
something unexpected should occur
we can reasonably hope to have the
fact demonstrated that We have oil
and gas in paying quantities before
the first dag of January, 1907. The
well will be started with a 10-inct
hole for the first 500 feet.

A PHlLlPPlNE CONGRESS.

March 27, 1907. will be an impor
tant datemark in the history of the
Philippines. On that day a general
election will be called to choose dele
gates to Philippine assembly. This
is in obedience to a law of congress
which provided that two years after
the taking of census of the islands
this grant of self-rule should be made.
The census was published on March
27, 1905. and attracted wide attention.
II was the first count of the inhabi-
tants of the islands which made any
close approach to accuracy. The pop
ulation of the islands, as revealed In
that count, was 1855. 900, of whom
CAT 900 are classed as uncivilized.
U@der, the law of congress all male
residents of the islands Of twenty
three years of age. who can read and
write either Spanish or English, or
who own certain small amount of
property. can vote for members of the
new assembly. Under Spanish law
twenty-three years was the minimum
voting age. The Philippine parlia
IltHl VIII COuolSt VI tWo CudiibSisi a
popular branch of not less than fifty
nor more than a hundred members,
and an upper and smaller branch, to
be called the Philippine commission,
part of which, it is probable, will CON
sist of the present commission for
the islands.
This will ne the first step towards
the establishment of self-rule for the
Filipinos. but they will, even by this
beginning, have larger voice in the
government of their local affairs than
Spain would probably have granted
to them II she had remained in con-
troll half a century longer. 1t is a
larger measure of self-rule than Is
possessed by any of the Asiatic colon
les of the European powers. The
grant will be extended as fast as the
natives show an intelligence to use
their power wisely. 1t is altogether
probable that within third of cen.
tury the Philippines will have almost
as much of voice in the manage
ment of their home concerns as Can
ada has under the British system.
This experiment in home rule for
an Asiatic dependency will now be
watched with a good deal of interest

American Intervention not only pre-
vented thai, but stopped the Palma
government itself In the midst of
rapid dissipation Of the treasury bal
ance In a lutile attempt to put down
the insurrection. Military operations

Quoted with knowledge. 1t appears
that the Palma government, in its
panic and fear and loose method of
spending. incurred obligations of be-
tween six and seven million dollars
which will have to be paid out OF the
treasury.
That will make deficiency of four
million dollars In the budget of the
current year, which the American ad'

MARKET FOR DuRuM WHEAT.

Professor Olin, of the state agricul-
tural college, has sent out bulletin
relative to durum wheat. He states
that the Colorado Millers' association.
with one exception. has refused to
use durum wheat, and are telling the
farmers it has no market. This
wheat, he says, has proven itself the
best crop for semi-arid lands grown.
He assures steady and safe and
great demand for this what in
France and Italy. Russia has hereto
fore supplied the demand. This year
Russia must buy wheat. Last year
ten million bushels of durum were
exported from the United States.
This year the demand from Mediter-
ranean ports is strong. At the re-
quest of the agricultural college there
are now two buyers in Colorado buy
ing for export. One is Roy Campbell.
buying for the J. Rosenbaum Grain
company of Fort Worth, Kansas City,
Galveston and st. Louis. This firm
commissions Professor Olin to say
1t will buy all durum wheat from one
car to a million each year. There is
no question about the market. Pro
fessor Olin calls for the names of all
producers of 1000 bushels or more of
this wheat, so he can put them in
touch with the export buyers.
Durum wheat should not be irri-
gated to get the best wheat.
Durum wheat blended with the or
binary wheat makes superior flour.
The Graden mills, of Durango, are
grinding this wheat successfully and
the flour is in demand

SUGAR BEETs TOPIC
DISCUSSED BY FARMERS

The meeting of farmers at the
for the purpose of hearing Mr.. Nit
chell talk about the sugar beet sub
ject, was exceedingly well attended
and much interest was manifested
Every chair was filled early and
many stood up. Almost every farmer
had some question TO ask, and Mr.
Mitchell showed himself to be re-
markably well informed from the
prompt manner in which he answered
Those who came seeking information
went away enlightened and thorough
ly convinced that this section has the
best soil In the state of Colorado for
raising sugar beets and that 1t is one
of the most profitable crops that can
be raised.
In the meeting were farmers from
every district in the county, sections
as far out as Bayfield,, Grommet and
Allison being represented, while from
the Animas valley, Florida mesa and
other nearby sections quite number
were In attendance. A few women
were noticed in the assemblage
which indicates that the men are not
the only ones interested in raising
beets. The business interests were
also fairly well represented, for a su-
gar factory is something in which
evry business man in the county is
interested in securing. The farmers
are enthused and Mr.. Mitchell is en-
couraged, and II the necessary con-
tracts are not secured sooner than
Mr.. Mitchell expected when he came
here, the Herald will miss Its guess.

The Wrong John Gary.

Several days ago, a negro giving his
name as John Gary, was arrested in
Youngs township by Deputy Sheriff
Sullivan and held for identification, as
the officer had abundant reasons fol
believing Gary to be one and the same
John Gary who killed Shed Hailstock in
Cross Hill township last October.
A few days ago Deputy Sullivan was
in Youngs on official business. Meet.
ing Gary in the road the officer felt
prompted to ask the fellow his name
and where he had formerly lived. ".Jobn
Gary from Goldville." That reply set
tledit. After being made a prisoner
Gary said he was not the John Gary
wanted. However, he was detained at
Jail until he could be identified. On
Friday a citizen of Cross Hill who
knows the alleged murderer of Hail.
stock, called at the Jail and after see
ing the prisoner said the fellow was
not the man wanted.

avengeth the deed.
Yea, verify, his life is uncertain and

He goeth forth on a journey half-shot

He riseth in the night to lei the cat

He goeth forth in joy and gladness

He calleth his fellowman a liar and

A cyclone bloweth him into the bosom
