STICK TO MINNESOTA
Census Report Shows Changes
from Southern to Northern
Section.

State reports issued on the first at
ST. Paul, say that the increase OF 49,
600 in the northern part of Minnesota
Including births, comes largely from
other parts OF the state. One report
adds:
"The increase of $4,000 in the north
ern part of the state inclu les births,
which will amount in five year period
to about 10 per cent of the total in
crease, or a little over 5000, leaving
about "a, 900 people who lived in that
part OF the state five years or less.
No definite information can be Sc
cured as to this shift OF population.
There are about 63, 900 people in that
part of the state who have lived there
| five years or less and who were not
born there, nor did they come into the
state from other states or territories
or from foreign countries. This in
crease came from other parts of the
state, presumably many thousands
from the southern portion"
Anent this movement from one
part of the state to another, the re-
port says:
1.-THE number of people who have re-
sided in the district where enumerat-
ated one year or less than one year is
392, 944, while the number who have
resided in the district over one to five
years inclusive is $780, 1872, or total of
953, 726, almost one-half the entire
population of the state. This would
seem to border on the realms Of fiction
but the results are obtained from
tabulation of census schedules. The
district period of residence includes
many thousands who have resided in
the state in excess Of the district per-
iod and who contribute to the great
shift in population.
IAN examination of the data for the
large cities shows great urban move
ment OF two kinds-into the cities,
and constant movement from one
part of city to another. This popula-
ton movement is more noticeable in
the larger cities, but is going on with
mighty momentum in all parts Ct the
state.
SIN the older settled sections OF the
state, where, according to tabulation
results, population has declined, there
is constant influx Of population, de-
spite the outward movement. In the
township Of Verona, in Faribault
county the population tables show
decrease of fifteen in the last five years.
There have been forty-nine births in
the same period and further Access
sion to the population OF 134, OF which
ll2 are from other parts OF the state
and % from outside the state. Auro-
ra township in Steele county shows a
loss of q in the last five years, and
yet the number of persons who have
lived in that township within the
five year period is 25S.
An examination of the data which
shows the number who have lived
there within the period indicated pro-
duces the following results: Farmers,
10; merchants, 2; teachers, ]; house
keepers and domestics, 35: laborers,
20; the balance being children includ-
ing those born within the last five
years"

CHIEF JUSTICE MILLS
GRANTS INJUNCTION
San Juan County Cannot Collect Tax
es From Animas Ditch
Company.

Chief Justice William j. Mills, sit
ting in the First Judicial District Court
al Ration in the absence Of Judge John
R. McFie, yesterday, granted the ap-
plicalion of the Animas, La Plata and
San Juan Canal Company for a six
years exemption of taxes beginning
1903.
Section 1858, of the Compiled Laws
of New Mexico, provides for a six
years exemption of taxes in cases
where canal and irrigation companies
have done extensive and enlargement
work, the time of exemption from tax
alton to begin when the extension
work is inaugurated.
On January 2, 1902, the company
commenced the enlargement and ex-
tension of the original ditch SO that
the general carrying capacity, not on
ly of the main line but of the lower
extension near the town OF F'ruitland
and down toward the town OF Jewett
was greatly enlarged. The canal now
traverses several sections of land and
is approximately "a miles long. 1t pro,
yides irrigation for thousands of
acres of land which otherwise would
be of little use for agricultural pur-
poses.
Attorney Granville Pendleton repre-
sented the company in the matter and
District Attorney Alexander Read ap-
peared for San Juan and Rio Arrlba
Counties.

PROBABLY END
IN COURT
Fuss Between Dowie and Zion City
Officers May Be Aired Before
Judge.

Chicago, April 13.-Unless the att0r-
neys representing the warning inter-
ests in the Zion City controversy,
reach some agreement at conference
which will be held late today, the
matter will be taken into courts to-
morrow or Monday. 1t was announced
today by the lawyers retained by
Dowie that they will probably file a
bill asking that the transfer Of Zion
City Church property to Deacon Alex
ander Grander by Overseer Voliva
be set aside.
The attorneys for Voliva contend
that the bill will be denied for the
reason that all of the property assign
ed by Voliva to Granger was not the
property of Dowie but was held by
him as trustee. 1t is also expected that
an appcialtion will be made for the
Appointment of a receiver pending a
settlement in the dispute as to the

SEES MANY AND
GREAT CHANGES
Henry Pepper Who Freighted From
Durango to Santa Fe Years Ago,
Visits Old Haunts.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Pepper, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph futon and j. Fl. Pepper.
of Guthrie, Oklahoma, arrived In the
city last night, and are awaiting the
arrival of their household goods, 1t
being their intention to remain in San
ia Fe. They have been travelling
through the southwest for some time
in quest of a suitable place to locate
but as yet have not found a communi-
ty exactly to their liking. They have
decided to take up their residence in
Santa Fe until such time as they find
a suitable farming district and will
then take up land and settle in the
Territory permanently.
Henry Pepper the Oldest member
of the party, has been in Santa Fe be-
fore under entirely different circum
stances. More than thirty years ago.
before the Santa Fe Railway entered
this city, he was resident of Duran
go, Colorado, and was at that time
freighter. He said this morning that
he had made many trips from Duran
go to Santa Fe with mule teams, car
rying immigrants and their household
possessions.
"Since that time" said Mr.. Pepper.
Santa Fe has undergone many chang
es. In fact, when / arrived here last
night I scarcely recognized the place.
Many new buildings have been erect
ed, and there are consequently many
things that are new to me. l remem-
Der now that when used to drive into
the town from the east, 1t seemed to
me that l could see a great stretch OF
prairie land to the west. l remember
that more distinctly than anything
else There are many places about
here that l want to revisist, and I,shaM
take great interest In going over the
old scenes, and noting the remarkable
changes that have taken place since
my last visit"

GOOD FRIDAY
NOT OBSERVED
In New York Contrary to Tradition
City Offices and Stock Ex-
change Open.

New York, April 13.-For the first
time in many years Good Friday" was
not observed as a holiday in New
York today. All the city departments
were in operation and the stock ex-
change was open for business. In both
instances money was responsible for
a change in the city's tradition. The
city corporation having decided that
the departments heads had no power
to allow the employees pay for time not
actually occupied in the city's service,
the laborers requested that the usual
holiday be omitted. The request was
granted. The governing board of the
stock exchange decided not to suspend
call because of the unsettled condi
ton Of the money market.

tentiary commissioners has already
done, is now doing and will do his
utmost to attain the swift completion
Of the road that travel might come

AS far as Santa Fe is concerned, Mr..
Pierce said that the town looked bet
ter to him now than it has at any time
during the twenty years he has been a
resident of New Mexico and during the
many times he has visited It, He feels
sure that Santa Fe Is all right and
that all it needs to keep on progress
ing and advancing is energy and push
on the part Of its people which at this
time are becoming quite noted.

You may be republican or dem

name of Alfred Blaisdell, repub-
lican nominee for Secretary of
State, without giving it some at
tention. The people Of Ward
county have received many ben
efts at the hands Of Alfred
Blaisdell, and regardless Of poll
tics, ought to give him a solid
vote at the coming November
election. ...
The office seeks the man who
is in every way qualified to exc
cute the duties thereof. Be bold,
put good and able men above
party lines, and you will be doing
your duty both to yourself and
your fellow men. A political
party composes set of princi-
pies and without men to act in
accordance Herewith, it does the
people no good. So vote for the
man who has principles and who
never has disregarded the rights
Of our citizens to their just priv
ileges. Rise above your party
and make Alfred Blaisdell your
next secretary of state. Van

SAWYER ROBBERS OPER-
ATED IN PHILIPPINES

The Independent has learned
through the five or six detectives
who are now working on the clue
Of the bank robbers, that the
men who robbed the Sawyer
bank are old timers at the bust
ness, despite the youthful ap-
pearance Of several members of
the gang. 1t has been learned
defnately that three members of
the gang, Duffy, Robinson, and
Conroy operated in the Phillip
pines, coming directly to San
Francisco.
In the Philippines they did
some bad jobs and got out as
soon as the scent Of the detec-
tives brought them too close to
danger. At San Francisco, the
men took in the man they call
Sullivan and the gang worked
eastward. At Butte, Mont,
Hayes joined the gang and they
cracked safes east to the Dakota
line. The Sawyer job was the
first one they did in North Dako-
ia and it is hoped that it will be
the last one for a time.
