The Loco Weed.

The loco weed is playing havoc with New Mexico horses, as is evidenced by the following from the Albuquerque Journal:
 "Locoed horses are lying liter ally in heaps on the mesa near the Rio Grande valley. East of Los Lunas, across the river and up on the mesa, there are actual ly scores of dead horses lying in the loco weed patches. The loco is so thick down there that it looks like one immense alfalfa patch, and the weed has obtain ed such a start on the other grass and vegetation that the horses are gorging themselves on 1t. 1t IS not an uncommon sight to see six or eight horses lying togeather dead on the range. A native stockman told me the other day that fully 50 per cent of the horses on the range in that part of Valencia county would be lost.

Nowadays, when Johnnie is bad at school, the teacher takes out her book and gives a black mark. Next day Johnnie is worse than ever. Fifty years ago when Johnnie was bad at school the teacher took down a dogwood sprout, made about two dozen black marks across his legs, and Johnnie never re- peated the offense. Fifty years ago Johnnie got up at daylight. started the fire, fed the horses. milketl a dozen long horned COWS that gave barely enough milk to go into the coffee, chopped and brought in wood enough to last mother all day, ate hearty breakfast and walked five miles to school. Today Johonie does n't get up at all unless he is for ced to do so, eats little or no breakfast, goes out behind the barn to smoke cigarette and if the school house, is over three blocks away he grunts about the long distance he has to walk. The Johnnie of fifty years ago is now hale, hearty man. Fifty years from now the Jonnnies of today will be dead and buried. Isn't that a true tale of Johnnie? Burton Grit.

Waters Oi the Rio Grande

Washington.-Secretary Root, for the United States, and Am bassador Casasus tor Mexico have signed a treaty regulating the use of the waters of the Rio Grande, which if approved by the senate, will remove what has been source of friction for twen- ty years. The under lying princi- pie of the convention is he recog- milton of the common law right of the Mexicans to q fair share of the waters of the river, but as the United States Is put to the expense of the construction of the great dam at Engle, N. M., the Mexicans share only a fractional proportion of the whole flow. It is estimated that the impound- ed waters are sufficient to irri- gate 100000 acres of otherwise ard land.

Abolish Land Office Receivers

It has been definitely determin- ed by the house committee on appropriations that no money shall be appropriated for the payment of land office receivers, which means that the office of receiver will be in effect abolished after the amount already appro- priated has been exhausted and the terms of office of receivers have expired.

A dry farming convention was recently held at Las Vegas, N. M. It was too bad that Navajo Apache and Coconino counties did not send delegates. Parts of Utah and Idaho that donO have near as much rain and snow as we do, raise excellent cereals with out irrigation. Land that will raise long-leafed pine timber will produce wheat and oats in abun- dance, All such land as lies against the mountains of the three counties would soon be valuable if we would only learn the art of dry farming. Our fu- ture as three counties lies not in our sheep and cattle, but in our dry.land farms and our timber St. Johns Herald.

BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 5.-Having failed
to come to an agreement among them
selves, the hard coal miners of Penn
sylvania, through their representatives,
today proposed to the operators that
all matters in dispute be referred to a
board of arbitration for settlement, the
tribunal to be composed of the board of
Conciliation which was created by the
award of the anthracite strike commits
sion in 1868, with Judge George Gray
of Delaware or any person he may ap-
point, as chairman and umpire. If the
operators accept the proposition and
a convention of mine workers approve
the plan, the 100000 men now idle in
the anthracite fields will return to
work at once.
While it had been reported for sew
eral days that the miners might ask
that the differences be arbitrated, the
proposition made to the mine owners
today came to them as great sur
prise, as they did not believe the union
leaders were ready to leave the con-
troversy to a third party at this time.
That the operators will accept the
miners proposition as submitted is not
generally believed; in fact, it is in
timated that they may fatty refuse the
offer on the ground that existing con-
dftions are the result of arbitration.
The employers have decided to con-
slider the miners latest move and
promise to give President Mitchell and
his men an answer on Monday when
another meeting of the two sub-com-
mittees will be held in this city.

MEXICO CITY, April 5.-John Alex
ander Dowie. the first apostle of the
Christian Catholic apostolic church in
Zion, left here with his party tonight
FOR Chicago, where he will confront
the local leaders who have attempted
to oust him. Dowie was in good health
and indignant at the conduct of the
men who according to letters in his
possession were protesting loyalty to
MIN within the past week.
In an interview he said he had select
ed as his best man Wilbur Glenn Vo-
liva, who had proved unfaithful. The
trouble came to a climax as result
in part of his Mexican undertakings
His wife and son agreed with those
who made objections. He added that
his son, although not a bad man, did
not walk in his (Dowie's) ways. He
said his followers thought he was 60
ing to die and in fact seemed little
sorry that he did not, and now OPP
posed his returning to Zion. He rid
iculed the idea that those he had ap-
pointed could dismiss him who had
appointed them. One of the points at
issue between DoWie and his men of
affairs was that he desired to dismiss
his general financial manager, Alex
ander Granger, who he asserted was
incompetent and failed to appreciate
his relations to his superior.

proposition made by the miners rep
resentatives to the operators during

regarded In varying lights by the diff
ferent interests involved.
Those OF the operators in the region
who could be induced to venture an
opinion expressed the belief that It.
will be accepted.
The situation in the coal fields re-
mains unchanged. Occasional disturb
ances are reported from various sec
tions, but they are regarded as incon-
sequentiall AS a result OF attacks
made on the breaker of the Fernwood
colliery, the Erie company, which owns
the land occupied by the mine workers
has ordered them to vacate the prop
erty. The miners are said to have shot
out nearly every window in the breaker
A detail of state police today arrested
seven Italian laborers at Mocanaqua,
near Wilkesbarre, who yesterday pre-
vented non-union men from operating
the West End washery. They were
sent to Jail.
AS a result of the suspension OF min

DOLL|VER RAISES
ROW IN SENATE
WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE E
STIRS MORE ACRIM0NY
Charges That Colleagues Had Inter-
viewed Railroad Presidents,
Which Foraker Resents-Ep-
Isode Ends In Good Humor
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-In the SEN
ate today there was a re-echo of the
White House conference of last Sat
urday relative to the pending railroad
rate legislation and, while the discus
sion ended in good nature, there was
a time when the feeling was quite
intense.
The incident occurred at the close of
q speech by Mr.. Stone, which was
devoted largely to a discussion of that
conference. Mr.. Dolliver took the floor
and In a brief speech devoted to the
defense of the right of senators to
confer with the president, charged that
other senators had been in consulta-
ton with the presidents of railroad
companies
The intimation contained in the
charge was resented by both Mr.
Bailey and Mr.. Foraker, and they de-
manded the names of senators referred
to. These Mr. Dolliver declined to
give but he justified his course in
making the charge by saying that he
and other senators who had partici-
pated in the conference ha1 been
sueered at and ridiculed in the discus
sion of last Tuesday.
This avoWal of his motive brought
about an explanation from Mr.. Foraker
and the incident ended pleasantly.
Mr.. Elkins has given notice of
speech on the rate bill for tomorrow,
and Mr.. Bailey for Il speech on that
subject Tuesday. The Texas senator
will reply especially to the criticisms
mads by Messrs. Spooner and Knox
of his plan for limitation of the
powers of superior courts in granting
injunctions in rate litigation.
Two Democratic senators, Daniel of
Virginia and Overman of North Caro-
lima, had conference with the presi-
dent on the subject of railroad rate
legislation today. They were request
ed by the president to call at the White
House. Neither Senator Daniel nor
Senator Overman would discuss the
conference they had with the presi-
dent,
