ne SCORES HACERMAN NOW
The President Makes Public a Let
tor to the Former Governor.


Albuquerque. N M. May 31.-The
Citizen, an afternoon paper here,
Thursday printed the text Of the letter
from President Roosevelt to Former
Governor Hagsrman, who recently re-
signed from the office Of governor at
the request Of the president. In the
letter Mr.. Hagerman ia scathingly ar
raigned for the part he took in the
Pennsylyania Development company,
land transaction upon which the re-
guest for Hagerman's resignation was
based. The publication inspired Mr..
Hagerman to make public his reply
to the president In which he reviews
his part In the Pennsylvania matter,
In the letter the administration Of Mr..
Hagerman is referred to as unsatis-
factory and his conduct In the Penn
sylvania Development company trans
atcion 10 characterized as illegal and
blameworthy." The president says
but for the former governors previous
good record he would have been
removed instead Of being al
lowed 70 resign. The letter
goes at length into the Pennsylvania
Development company questions and
quotes an opinion Of Assistant Attor-
ney General Cooley. which severely
orittcises Hagerman's delivery Of the
deeds to the land in question.
DE- Hagsrman's reply says in part:

that the matter Of my removal,
through the form Of resignation from
the governorship Of New Mexico was

In short 1t is q real Wholesale grocery
that is fitted to compete with Salina,

But to do this it must have the

For instance, now 10 the time when

species has been discovered
hen the annual movement OF the salmon from
the Pacific up the rivers and creeks the spawning
ground Is at its height the waters OF the smaller
streams often fairly TEEN with the fish and the
little brooks and other tributaries up which they
force their way at times almost chokcd with the
schools, So that the farmers and those near the
streams can actually take them out with their
hands and with nets
This migration of the salmon is we'll worth telling
about for the reason that 1t has created what are
called Wheels of Fortune in the Northwest
Really the wheel Is net; but a net which Is built
IN circular form that it somev hat resembles the,
framework OF the familiar paddle wheel attached
t. steamboats,. Imagine the paddle wheel with its
rim partly covered with wire netting and YOU
have rough idea of how this curious Wheel of
Fortune looks 1t is divided into three or four sec
tons, the Wlrc netting extending over a portion of
the RIM. also the sides. and kept rigid by frame
work ot tough wood which is sometimes braced
with IRON rods. This framework rests upon an axle
placed IN the center Of the wheel
