TO FORCE FARMERS
PHONE into line

Unable to make the Farmers Tele.
phone company of this city come to
their terms aud form a consolidation,
the Pac1fic.rtates Telephone company
Is preparing for a campaign OF low
rates in the hopes of forcing their
opponents into line.
R Bingham who is conducting
the fight arrived in the city yester
day tor the purpose of attending a
stockholders meeting .of the Farmers
Phone company and opening negotia.
sions for consolidation. He received
word however that any plans of this
kind were out of the question and that
tho local company preferred to con-
duct their business without their re-
ference to the other company. Today
he started force of men at work
securing contracts from the farmers
outside the city limits to iGstall
phones at the rate of 81 per year, the
farmers to build their own lines and
connect with that ofsthe Pacific States
at the city limits. Another force of
men is also at work inside the city
limits where the rate of 81 per month
will be made for residence phones on
condition that the company can secure
contracts for 25 or more instruments.
If this is done the rate to all subscrlo-
ers in tie residence district will be re.
duced to the 81 rate. Mr.. Bingha m
stated today that the redution outside
che city limits Was not for the pur-
pose of fighting the local company but
that it was straight business prop
osirion which wouli pay good
profit in the increased long distance
work which would result from tina in
creased number of phones.
The 81 per month rate inside the
city limits he admitted was made for
the purpose of fighting the local com
pany and he expressed. great confidence
in the ability of his company to via.
He states that it is his intenti III to bet
ter the ser vice here aud that tha COM
pany will spend fiom $40, 900 to $l5,-
900 in the rebuilding tneI system
which besiles the long distance con
nections. includes l04 ,ocal phones.
Secretary Little6eld of the Farmers
Telephone company today stated that
very littl, concern is felt in his COM
pany over the efforts of tho Pacific
people to put them out OF business.
At the recent stoc holders meeting 1t
was unanimously voted to reject ahy
uroposition for the consolidation of the
two companies also it is believed that
the strength of the local company is
sucb that cut rates or other methods
of competition will have very little
effect on the income of the company.
The lines of the company reach every
part of the valley ana is is considered
sighlv improbable that the farmers
will briid new lines paralleling the
old ones even if they can get phones
at 81 per year. The service of che
local company has at all times lbeen
excellent and is will be hard work

COL. CHARLES BALLARD.
A Page From the Las Vegas Optics
Cartoon Book.

A few days ago the Las Vegas Op
tic ran a cartoon of Col Charles l.
Ballard of Roswell, under the head
Men of Affairs in Caricature." Col
Ballard in the picture was represented
with the Cattle Sanitary Board under
his arm, while back of him was sci
out his offices and titles. as member
of the Territorial Council, Rough Ri
der and member of the Governor S
staff His cattle ranch also loomed
up in the distance, and a pair of
steers running neck and neck proba-
bly, was intended to represent the
race of Col. Ballard and Fred Hig-
gins for the nomination for sheriff OF
Chaves county In connection with
the cartoon, the Optic printed the
following sketch:
Colonel Charles L. Ballard, aide
german, former Rough Rider officer,
ex-member of the New Mexico legis-
lative council, is one of the best liked
men in New Mexico Although life
long and true Democrat, he mas
quite as many friends among the Re
publicans as among the members of
his own party. Notwithstanding the
fact that the gentleman has held ma
ny offices, both appointive and elect
i've, he has never. as far as he and
his friends know, made a personal
enemy.
There is much narrow envy in the
often heard statement that a man
who doesn't make enemies isn't
worth much. The saying is used as a
weak excuse by those who do make
enemies. Let man be frank and
honest, let him deal justly with all
men, have a pleasant word for his
fellows on every occasion, let him
look out upon life brightly and brave

Borjen, Trans Caucasia, May 30
An attempt on the life of General
Alikhamoff, Governor General of Ku-
tais, was made last night as he was
taking the train for Tifiis. The Cen
eral arrived at the station surround
ed by an escort of Cossacks, when
two bombs were thrown at him and
exploded in the midst of the party,
seriously injuring the Governor, mem
bers of his staff and several Cos
sacks The remainder of the Cossacks
fired into the crowd, killing many
persons. Tney also burned to the
ground the buildings in the vicinity
to which the people fed. General Ali
khamoff, the .'pacifier" of Kulais pro-
vince, is the most hated man in the
Caucasus. He laid waste fifty villages,
absolutely wiping them out, and com
mitted atrocities that attracted the
attention of the whole country.

DROWNED IN HUDSON RIVER.
Was an Exoert Swimmer, but Tide
Was Too Strong for Him.

New York, May 29.-The details
of the drowning of Arthur Rees, of
Trinidad, Cole, a seaman of Admiral
Evans flagship, in the Hudson river
Monday, has just been made public.
Rees fell into the river as he was go
ing aboard the vessel. When first
seen he was about 80 yards from the
Maine. A launch at once steamed to
rescue MIN, but owing to the swift
tide the man rapidly drifted down
stream. Just as one of the men on
the launch reached for him with
boat-hook, Rees sank and was not
seen again. He was an expert swim
mer, and it would have been easy TO
save him had the tide not been SO
strong.
