From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. April S0.-The suggestion that Con-
gress guarantee bonds for the rebuilding of San
Francisco, which Representative julius Kahn is
credited with making at a meeting of the relief
committee in that city. has found little favor in
Washington. and Is not Endorsed by members of
the California delegation. A member Of this dele
cation said to-day that Congressman Kahn's ef-
forts 10 raise additional funds for San Francisco
had probably been misunderstood
I do not think it likely" said this member.
that the California representatives would for
moment think OF directly appealing to Congress to
indorse city bonds covering the estimated loss
without first having the State Legislature pass on
the proposition 1t seems certain that the State
Legislature would have to take action first in a
matter of this kind, and so far as know Governor
Pardee has not called a meeting of the Legislature
The question of issuing bonds is one that can wait
little while though have doubt that the Leg
islature will take prompt action when 1t Is needed.

SOCORRO Is HEADQUARTERS.
Of Colorado Telephone Co.'s Long
Distance Line From Albu-
querque South.

Socorro is headquarters for the
Colorado Telephone company's
long distance line from Albu-
querque south and will remain
so. Captain Matthews is fast
pushing the extension of the line
south and hopes to make connec-
tiou with San Marcial next week.
This will give Socorro the very
best of telephone service west as
far as Kelly, south as far, as San
Marcial. and north through La
Joya, Isleta and Albuquerque to
important points III Colorado and
states further north and east.
This makes Socorro a very inn
portant point in the Colorado
Telephone company's system and
due appreciation of that fact
should be shown in the right
manner.

SOCORRO IS SHOCKED.
An Earthquake Monday Morning
Awakens sleepers and Causes
Stampede to Open, Air.

The severest earthquake that
Socorro has experienced in many
years awakened the city's sleep
ing population at a quarter past
three o'clock Monday morning.
The rumbling and the rocking
sent the frightened ones Scurry-
ing into the open ai., and they
STAYED not upon the order of
their going" There was gem
eral rafting of things and a bit
of loose plaster here and there
was thrown down, but mo- damage
was done. The disturbance was
doubtless due to a slipping of the
strata in the Magdalena noun
tains, AT least it was confined
to a small area. There were a
few quivers of the ground during
Monday and a quite perceptibie
shock Monday night. Since then
the bosom of mother earth has
been in statu quo.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Writes a Letter Urging the People
Of Arizona to Vote For
Joint Statehood.
he HAS A PECULIAR AFFECTION
For People of Four Territories Which
Now Have Chance to Enter
as Two States

A press dispatch from Tucson,
Arizona, under date of July I,
says that President Roosevelt
has written letter to friend of
his there urging that the people
of Arizona accept the present OPP
portunity to secure statehood for
their territory. Following is the
letter:
Washington, DC. June 81, 90.
Dear Mark A. Rogers. Secretary
Arizona Statehood Associa-
ton, Tucson, Arizona:
My earnest hope is that the
people of the territory of Arizona
in their wisdom will decide to
enter the Union as a part of the
great state of Arizona. No man
can foretell what will happen in
the future; but it is my belief
that if the people of Arizona let
this chance go by'{hey will have
to wait many years before the
chance again offers itself. and
even then 1t probably will be
only on the present terms that
is, on condition of being joined
with New Mexico.
If the people of Arizona come
III now. they will achieve what
every Self-respecting American
ought to wish to achieve that
is, the right of self government.
II they refuse what is proffered
them, and what in my opinion is
pToffered on the only proper and
permissible terms, they condemn
themselves TO indefinite continu-
ance of the condition of terri
torial tutelage.
| have peculiar affection for
the people of the four territories
which. under the act of congress
that have just signed, now
have an opportunity to enter as
two states into our federal union.
These territories are filled with
men and women of the stamp for
which | grew to feel so hearty
regard and respect during the
years that | myself lived and
worked on the great plains and
in the Rocky mountains. 1t was
from these four territories that |
raised the regiment with which
| took part in the Cuban cam
paign. ASsuredly under no cir
cumstances would | advise the
people of these territories to do
anything that | considered to be
against either their moral or ma
terial well-being. feel that for
them now to refuse to come into
the Union as states would be at
the best mere folly.
Very wisely the people of Ok
lahOma and Indian Territory,
and, ] believe, the people of New
Mexico also, have abandoned the
attitude which forbade their as
suming the great privileges and
responsibilities of full American
citizenship. / can not express
too heartily my hope that the
people of Arizona, exercising
their sober second thought. will
come to look at the matter in the
same light.

opportunity to join the crowd
from up on the mountain and

Socorro and Magdalena and
another between Magdalena and

be expected before the season

CITYS WATER SUPPLY
Has Been Increased One Hundred
Per Cent By Boring Tunnel
Near the Spring.
Mr.. BURSUM WORKS A MIRACLE
1t Will Now Be Necessary to Supply
Socorro's Water System With
Larger Mains.

Mr.. Bursum has wrought a
miracle in connection with the
city'S water supply.
TO those who are not familiar
with the source of Socorro's
water supply, unsurpassed for
it's purity, il NAV be of interest
to know that the city water
comes from a spring at the foot
of mountain two and half
miles distant and at an elevation
of three hundred and fifty feet
above the plaza.
a short time ago Mr.. BurSum
employed workmen to eXcavatc u
cut and tunnel in the mountain
on level with the spring and
about thirty yards north of it,
with the hope of increasing the
flow. The hope has been abun-
dainty realized.
Last Saturday crevice was
opened in the rock at the mead
of the tunnel, and from this
crevice there Immediately flowed
stream of water fully equal in
volume TO that from the spring
which has always been the
source OF the city's supply. This
stream has been flowing uniform
ly since and has not materially
diminished the flow from the
spring.
The Importance of this occur
renee to the inhabitants of So
corro would be difficult to esti-
mate in dollars and cents. While
the supply of water was sufficient
before for ordinary uses, there
were times when the need of
more abundant supply was real
lied. 1t will now be possible To
furnish every residence in the
city with all the water that can
possibly be needed for domestic
uses and for the irrigation of
lawns and gardens even during
the driest seasons.
But Mayor BurSum's good
work does not stop here. He
will drive the tunnel twenty-five
or thirty feet further into the
mountain, and there is a very
strong probability that he will
still further increase the flow of
water. He has already raised
the walls of the reservoir in the
upper part of town five or six
feet, making it possible to em-
pound two or three times as
much water as before. The
water is now piped into this res
ervoir instead of running into it
through an open ditch as it had
done for years, with great waste
and with danger 10 the public
health. The improvements at
the reservoir are not yet COM
pleted. Furthermore, Mr.. Bur
sum has put valves into the city
mains in such places that it will
be possible at a moments notice
to bring the entire pressure of
the city's water supply to bear at
any desired point. In case of
fire this arrangement might
easily result in the saving of
thousands of dollars worth of
property.
When it is remembered that
all this has been done and that
more is to be done at Mayor Bur-
sums private expense. it be-
comes an impressive fact that
the city of Socorro owes it's
mayor at least profound and
lasting debt of gratitude.

came home yesterday morning

looks very much like horse steal

that those who appropriated
them had urgent calls out of
town and that they merely bor-
rowed the animals for the occa-
sion. However, in New Mexico
it is not considered polite to take
horse without the owners
knowledge and consent.
