What Others Say,


Kooskia Mountaineer: According to
all accounts the Elk City mining district
will boom this summer, and it will be
no windy boom either. The district is
away beyond the experimental stage, as
it has been fully demonstrated that "the
stuff is there" With plenty of capital
to push development work the Elk City
district would soon line up with the best
mining camps in the Pacific Northwest. 4"
Sites Herald: "Much freight is now
going out to Elk City and mountain
points. The amount of traffic going out
of Sites was shown early Monday
morning, when six freight teams and
six stages went out within one Hour" "
They All Say So.'
The Mining News could continue in
definitely the good words said for this
district, but space will not permit, and
then, too, it isn't necessary. The aim
has been to educate any who might be
from ''Missury." We have not mem
toned the good words that come from
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Fran
cisco and other coast points, the news
paper comments from those places, or
the reports that, are brought in by
strangers and horne people who have
visited on the outside. To. mention all
OF these would require more space and
type than this paper can command.
6 1t isn't necessary for Elk City people
to talk anyllnnger. Outsiders are doing
more effective work alonglthat line than
is possible for the home people to do.
1t has simmered down to problem OF
"wait," and the time is not long either.

Set High Record.

The Mining News has from time to
time assured it's readers that the Elk
City mining district is very promising
that growth out of the ordinary is in
store for the district the coming sum-
mer. People living in the district and
in adjoining districts know that the
items in this paper have reflected the
true conditions and spirit here, but, the
paper being published in mining dis
trict, in these days of yellow journalism
and high finance on the stock exchange,
there is apt to be readers at distance
who have questioned the truthfulness
of our reports. For the benefit of such
the Mining News is pleased to give opin-
ions of newspapers, mining journals,
business men here and in other towns
that have come to our notice the past
week.

Spokane, Too.
August Wolf, secretary of the Pub
licity Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce at Spokane, and formerly a
writer for the Spokesman-Review, meets
the best business men and mining men
in his work. In private correspondence
with the Mining News Mr.. Wolf says:
81 note by the last number of the Elk
City Mining News that you are making
"a most excellent publication, which l
am sure is appreciated by the people of
your district. | am glad to
know that the people of Elk City are
giving you encouragement, and from all
l can learn l should say that the coming
summer will be the most prosperous in
the history OF that community,
Captain James Coverly of the Spo-
kane police force, in a letter to his
brother, J. A. Coverly, owner Of the
great Snowstorm group, says: "From
all indications your reward for long
waiting for the Elk district to; get
started is at hand. Among mining
men here the Elk district is receiving
more favorable mention than ever, be-
fore. Even the great Occur, d. d'Alene
district, so near Spokane, and in which
Spokane capital is so heavily interested,
stands to be a secondary consideration
among mining men here the coming
summer. You must expect thorough
investigation from mining companies
for desirable property in your district
as soon as travel over the mountains is
good.

acre unimproved land. That
said lands are good for farming
and equal to the best in the town
of Washburn. That in addition
thereto is a village located in said
town containing about 200 in
habitants, besides a consider
able quantity of hardwood and
other timber OF great value.
That according to the best know
ledge and belief of the petitioner
the real and personal property
subject to assessment in said
town of Pratt in the year 1906.
in it's true value would be not less
than the sum of $55O,OOO and
should have been assessed at not
less than said sum.
That the property in the town
of Port Wing in said county was
assessed in said year at $4,000
which assessment was below the
true value of said property, the
same being according to the best
knowledge and information of
your petitioner worth at a true
valuation not less than the sum
of $685., 900 for which sum the
same have been assessed.
That the property in the city
of Washburn is said county was
assessed for the year 1906 at
81, 476, 400: which assessment
was far below the true valuation
of the property situated in the
said city and subject to assess
ment. That the said city of
Washburn contains about 5000
inhabitants and many large
brick and stone buildings, banks,
mercantile houses, large coal
docks, grain elevator two banks

barns and outbuildings almost
all of which are either substan-

blocks or are substantially and
we'll built residences. That the
real and personal property sit

burn and subject to assessment
in the year 1906, was fully of the
value of $4,000, 900 and the same
should have been assessed at

Chance in Time of Trains.

A new time card went into effect
at midnight last night, a1d was re-
ceived lby the local officials without
previous announcement about an hour
after it was supposed to go into ef-
feet. 1t provides for important change
in the times of the two passenger
trains, which now come in entirely
at random and without regard to
time tables of any kind.
The afternoon train, it is alleged
will arrive at 5:25, local time, which
is an hour and 35 minutes later than
by the old bluff. 1t is supposed to
stay here only ten minutes. The NOR
ming train will arrive at 8:20, local
time, which is fifty minutes earlier
than before. The morning train re-
mains fifteen minutes at Roswell
One result of the unannounced change
in time was that only seven people
knew of the early morning train in
time to catch it. Possibly two score
missed it. AS for the evening train
Of course nobody missed it unless
they went to bed and forgot to leave
call for midnight

California Horse Show.

Los Angeles, Cal, March THE
annual exhibition of the Southern Cal
ifornia Horse Show Association open
ed today il Pasadena and is the goal
of all lovers of thoroughbred horses
in California and surrounding states
The number of entries is the largest
in the history of the Pasadena insti-
tuition and sets a new standard for
California shows. In addition to the
fine strings from southern California
stables, the horse owners of San Fran
cisco, Santa Barab bara, San Moteo and
other cities in the central and north
erl parts of the state are well repre-
sented, and strings have also been re-
ceived from several eastern norsemen
including Albert c. Burrage of Boston
and Price Mckinney of Cleveland.
The Boston man has entered fine
quartette of roadsters, and is conf
dent that he will carry away the cup
in this class. Harold Richardson the
millionaire horseman of Santa Baraba
has entered the classiest string of
members of the equine aristocracy
ever seen in the Pasadena ring, includ
ing Duke, the famous gig morse who
has taken blue ribbons at shows n
all parts of the country. Among the
local entries are the finest animals
from the Hardness, Crayels, Macom-
ber, Wilcox. Miller, Graves and Bios

OUR RAILROADS IDEA OF
ACCOMMODATING PEOPLE.

The officials of the Pecos Valley
Lines have peculiar ideas in regard
to accommodating the travelling pub
lie. At 12:O1 this morning, a new
schedule went into effect. With its u.s.
ual courtesy to the people and pat
ronS of tae line, the schedule came
into Roswell after the change had
gone into effect, with the result that
people unaware of the change of time
missed the train going north this
morning. 1t is said that last night
several of the hotels were telepaoned
regarding the change, so that a few
of the hotel patrons were enabled to
eaten the train.
1t also appears that the railroad
people are unable to keep track of
the numerous trains operating on the
road, at least they seem unable to
notify the public when the trains will
arrive An instance of this was given
last night. The train from the north,
due to arrive in Roswell at $3.50 yes
terday afternoon, was reported to be
due il Roswell at nine O'Clock. This
was later changed to ten At this
hour many people went to the depot
to meet friends and to take the train
south. In some instances these same
people had called up the central tel
ephone Office ald had been informed
that the train would be in at ten
o'clock. The train did actually arrive
at 11:20, local time. 1t does seem
that a great railroad corporation
should be able to locate its passen-
ger trains with more certainty than
this, especially SO on the Pecos Lines,
which operate SO few trains. There
is pressing need for reform in this
direction.

tear up its track from Panhandle TO
Washburn, and to construct in lieu
thereof a track from Panhandle TO
Amarillo, there to connect with the
PPecos Valley Lines and forming
through transcontile1tal route 1or
the Santa Fe System.
Tine fight upon this bill is being
waged chiefly by the people OF Wash
burn, who claimed that the removal
of that railroad from their town will
damage their vested rights, notwith-
standing they will still have the Fort
Worth and Denver railroad
Tine measure was championed to-
day principally by Senator Veale,
who lives at Amarillo, and by Sena-
tor Senter, of Dallas. 1t was oppos-
ed by Senators Brachfield, Smith and
Looney, who insisted that the rights
of the people of Washburn should
be regarded, and moreover that the
measure, if enacted, would establish
a bad precedent. The controversy
was waged in the main over an
amendment by Senator Smith which
sought to provide for the appointment
by the Governor of board of arbi-
tratiol to pass upon the matter OF
continuing damages. The champions
of the bill resisted this amendment
and others along the same line, de-
claring, however, that the people OF
Amarillo would make a BOND of
$2,5OO,0OO to pay all damages which
might be sustained by reason of the
change of the line.
THE amendments were all voted
down, and the bill was passed to en-
grossment. An effort to put it to fin
al passage failed, the vote to suspend
the constitutional rule requiring all
bills to be read on three several
days, being Is to 5, which was short
of the requisite four-fifths. The bill
no doubt will be passed finally by
the senate tomorrow, and will then
go to the house where a duplicate
measure. offered by Representative
Bowman, has been favorably re-
DOrted

No. 33 this afternoon This ends the
prospect of the passage of a tax bill
at this session of the legislature.
The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the sale of public lands to the
Pennsylvania Development Co. mad
w. S. Hopewell before them this af-
ternoon after the adjournment of the
legislature. This investigation will
no doubt bring out the entire history
of land transactions of this kind ex-
tending over a period of more than
six years. The transactions with the
Pennsylvania Development Co. date
back more than four years, and other
transactions of this nature will GER
tainly be drawn into the investigation
so that the public will be fully in
formed as to the disposition of valu-
able timber lands secured il the Ter
ritory under the Ferguson act.
About 10000 acres of timber land has
been disposed of in six years at an
average price of little over three dol
lars an acre, the largest tracts being
in the Sacramento mountains now
the property of the Alamogordo Lum-
ber Company.
There has been no move so far this
week to resurrect the district attor-
ney bill. The outlook for much legis-
lation at this session is not good.
The committees appointed to draft a
new election law are comforting with
the chairmen of the Territorial cent
raj committees, and the bill probably
will be ready in a few days. 1t is un-
derstood that modified form of the

nearly every good citizen of Lincoln

even the officers who made the ar
rest of her brother after he had kill
ed his Mexican sweetheart, and they
back her up, she declares, in her
statement that her brother was not
entirely to blame.
The principal reasons the sister
will give for asking the Governors
clemency are that her brother was a
very young man, only twenty, when
ne committed the crime, that the wo-
man was several years his senior,
had been married before and had led
him on for years, keeping him out
of school; also that he was in an

Western Bowling Congress.

Denver, Col, March More than
parts of the West, are in Denver today
for the second annual tournament Of
the Western Bowling Congress, that
will open at the Coliseum hall this
evening. Some of the most skilful
bowlerS in the world are among the
visitors and the tourney promises to
be the greatest ever held west of the
Mississippi. Cash prizes aggregating
$4,000 will be distributed among the
players, including first prize of $500
There is a great rivalry among the
teams, especially those of the Paci-
fic Coast cities, and it is probable that
many thousands of dollars will change
hands as result of bets on contests
between teams and individuals.
Among the distant cities and towns
represented by teams and Individual
players are st. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, Salt Lake, Ogden, Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma, Helena, Butte, Reno,
Goldfeld, Boise, San Francisco, Oak
land, Vancouver, Ell Paso, Sacramento
Portland and many others. All of the
cities of Colorado are represented by
one or more teams, aggregating near
ly 200 men.
One of the novel features of the
tournament will be an event for lady
bowlers, teams being entered from
as far away as Los Angeles.
Six special alleys have been built
at the Coliseum hall and arrange
ments have been made for seating at
least 1000 spectators.
