School Libaries.

The Legislature OF 1906 passed
the following act:
When any public free school
in this state shall raise ten dollars
for library for said school, and
furnish suitable bookcase, with
lock and key, he County Su-
perintendent is authorized to
issue pay certificate for ten
dollars additional in favor of said
school, but can assist only ten
schools in one year.
Thus the schools which take
advantage OF this liberal law will
have a twenty dollar library,
which is very essential in every
school.
I will expect every teacher to
present the matter to his or her
school patrons. The first ten
schools which comply with the
law and report to me will receive
the benefit of the ten dollars
from the county. Other schools
which raise the ten dollars can
use the amount to purchase a
library and the county can assist
ten other schools next year.

Mr.. 3. G. Cox, of Gulfport,
Miss, spent several days OF the
past week in Scooba exploiting
the advantages OF lots in High
land Addition to that thriving
little city as an Investment. The
section OF Gulfport in which this
addition is located is about three
quarters Of a mile from the water
frontage, lies within the territory
Of the belt car line, and is high,
dry and healthy. The lots are
now being sold at a very low
price, which cannot be expected
to continue long, and so an i'll
vestment we believe them to be a
good thing. A local agency for
the lots has been placed with
this office. Call and get one
before prices go up.

There is no doubt but that the
horse back tour of the Hon.
Cbas. Scott from the Tennessee
line through Mississippi to the
Gulf Coast, has made that gen
tleman a host of friends and
admirers who are likely to hely
him vastly in his race for the
gubernatorial nomination. And
Mr.. Scott has learned lots as to
the condition Of people and affairs
during his trip, which will prove
of great service to him if, as
seems likely, he is elected.

awakening over at Tularosa Tues

retired to his room at the hotel

fact that they had to send them
in by telephone. Every pre-

that Joe got safely in bed. .-Otero

it took three men to put Joe

MUST COUNT
THE VOTES
On the Statehood Proposition
Says President Roosevelt in His
Letter to Governors.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct, 4.-Gov-
ernOr Kibby has received the
following letter from President
Roosevelt:
My Dear Governor Kibby-I
am sorry to say that grave charg-
es have been made that under
the organization of which you
are the active leader, there will
not be a fair count of votes on
the question of statehood.
IF these charges were we'll
founded l need not say to you
that it would be national dis
aster. | have no doubt that
there is no truth in them, but
some prominent people in the
United States do believe them
and they are joined in their be-
lief by some of the most prom
inent people of Arizona and
New Mexico. Therefore, to
avoid criticism, | direct that if
you can in any way arrange it,
you will have representatives of
the statehood people present at
the canvassing of the votes on
statehood.
Il have sent copy of this
letter to Governor Hagerman,
OF New Mexico, and directed
him to make the same arrange
ment, that is to have representa-
tives from both statehood and
anti-statehood parties to witness
the count of votes.".

GROUND , Supervisor Taylor Chooses Site for New County Farm at
 Hereford,
GROUND DONATED
 BY COL. w. c. GREENE
County Will Have Finest Ranch of Its Size in San Pedro Val ley-Near Railroad, and Water Plentiful.

Yesterday Supervisor c. A. Taylor chose the ground for the new county poor farm a! Hereford. The site com prises so acres and is the gift 70 70. chise county of Colonel w. c. Greene. Thirty rods from the railroad and less than one mile east of Hereford station on the line of the E. P. & s. w. Railroad, the land chosen by Fay Ter for the use of the county is con sidered the best piece of ground nl the Greene ranch.
 From results attained in well Ter ing in the immediate vicinity, it is as- lmated that a twelve-inch well bored to depth of 250 feet will give a flow of approximately 400 gallons a mlnu;e. 4 well will be sunk on the ranch at once and as soon as sufficient sup ply of water is ct hand, irrigation W III begin.
 While Colonel Greene is away at this time, the county will go ahead and start its work, having the assurance of Mir. Greene that he will give deed, or bond for deed, at once.
 The county will expend S20,0O0 in new hospital and farm buildings on the ranch as soon as that amount has been appropriated. Cochise will then have the finest county farm of any of the counties of the Territory.
 As a result of raising it's own vege- tables, the county anticipates that it will be able to feed it's indigents at Q cost of 30 cents head, whereas it now costs 70 cents. The saving will reach s6,O0O to $7,000 a year-quite a material item to the taxpayers.
