SHIFT ABOUT
POLITICAL POT BoILs OVER
IN SEVERAL PLACES
Frank Green Declines to Head
Independent Ticket-Some
Changes in Aldermanic
Tickets

The political bean pot has been
boiling considerably during the past
week and there has been some shift
ing about on the Independent ticket.
Mayor franklin ]. Green, who was
asked to head this ticket as we'll as
the Water Works ticket, has declined
the honor, so this ticket Is now with
out a head. f. NJ. Barber, who at
first declined to 20 on the Independ-
ent ticket also as candidate for
alderman Of the first ward, has
changed his mind and is now upon
both tickets. Ben Marsh, who was
chosen. declined, thus making room
for Barber. Over in the second ward
James Tuckerman has declined to be
candidate on the Independent ticket
and Byron Newton has been put on
in his stead.
The tickets now stand as follows:
Water Works ticket-F. j. Green,
mayor; ]. B. Patton, city clerk ;
Miss Lena Pleak, city treasurer A..
W Jacobs, F. NJ. Barber, aldermen
first ward; ]. B. Phillips. G. B..
Ward, aldermen second ward; w. G..
Wilson, Daniel Stroll. aldermen
third ward.
independent ticket-C. G. Carrel,
city clerk; Miss Lena Pleak, city
treasurer; Patrick Bready and F. NJ.
Barber, aldermen flrst ward; Charles
EArr and Byron Newton. aldermen
tsscolsd ward; .. Raeh and Daaiiel
Stfofl, aldermen third ward.
The principal fight is being made
on alderman w. G. Wilson of the
third ward for re-election, although
there seems to be little or no good
reason for this, except i as he may
have stepped upon the toes of some
individuals. There is also some
thing Of fight on against J. B. Pat
ton for city clerk, which is again
simply personal matters that can in
no way reflect upon his ability and
fitness for the place.
Another man that some are trying
to get whack at is City Marshal
Eugene Williams who has been
little too ofilcious in the matter of
breaking up several social games of
draw" at the inopportune hour of
midnight. Gene is not out for re-
election as his Office has been abol-
ished as an elective office but there
seems fair prospect that ii the pres
ent conucil Is retained In Office Gene
will be reappointed, and that is why
some of the people about town want
to see few new faces on the council.
There really seems nothing against
the candidates on the Independent
ticket. They are all pretty good
fellows and some of them have served
on the board before, SO there Is a
pretty fair field so far as the alder
| men go.

To The People of Torrance County,

do it officially. The law governing
county surveyors and defining their du-
ties is not very definite as to what they
may charge but | have decided to make
flat rate of 10 cents folio for record
ing the notes and $3.50 for recording
official work with the plats. This puts
official work within the reach of all and
makes one survey final, on surveyed

furnish the government notes and do
the preliminary work at my own ex-

Control
Financial Situation

The Nebraska farmers may be wise
in holding their corn for better prices.
Corn is high now, but the demand for
ali agricultural products is strong, and
corn which is selling today for IS cents
may in three or four months be COM
manding an advance of from Is to so
per cent over that price.
The farmers command the situation.
They are independent, for the world
needs what they have to sell, and SOON
er or later it will have to pay the price.
Crops are short in Europe. Buyers
from that part Of the world are ready
to take practically all the wheat the
Americans will sell, and when wheat
goes abroad other farm products must
command better price at home.
According to Secretary Wilson's esti-
mate the total value Of farms products
in the United States this year is about
seven thousand million dollars, an enor-
nous sum, exceeding the total estima-
ted cost of the civil war which taxed
the energies of the country through
four long and dreary years. 1t repre-
sents the strength of the farmers and
planters and stock growers. tits no
wonder this class of our population feels
independent.
There are few mortgages on farms
to be foreclosed to pay interest or prin-
cipal which the owners of the farms
are unable to meet. The period of the
panic of 1893 was an area of mortgages
and low prices for farm products. But
today, what the farmers receive goes
not to the money lenders. but rather to.
those who would borrow of the farmers,
The latter, who were debtors in 1893
are creditors in 1907. This is why the
storm which burst over Wall street will
spend its force without causing serious,
injury beyond the limits of that street.

FOUND GUILTY
OF CONTE MPT
OF Court, are Punished by Fine and
Imprisonment and indicted
for Perjury

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 11.-Justice
of the Peace Ricardo Alarid and Grand
Juror Gregorio Griego were today in
dicted by the federal grand jury in ses-
sion here for perjury. The alleged
offense was in connection with their
trial before Judge McFie on the charge
of contempt for attempting to influence
members of the grand jury which re-
turned indictments recently against the
Phelps-Dodge company and nineteen
other individuals for alleged land frauds
in San Juan county.
Alarid and Griego, it will be recalled,
were sentenced few days ago by the
court to Imprisonment and fine respec-
lively, for the attempt at jury fixing,
sworn to by number of members of
the grand jury, who testified that they
had been approached by the men while
indictments were pending. The defend
ants denied specifically all the allega-
tions.
The grand jury adjourned today after
a session which has been productive of
some of the most interesting sensations
of the season. The jury, however, ad-
journed to meet again November 26,
when further developments are looked
for. Albuquerque Journal.

HOIn6S66k6rS Flock
to Land Of Sunshine

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 10. THE
statement that homeseekers are flock
ing to New Mexico has a chestnutty
sound 1t has been made so often and
in so many ways during the past two
years that everybody is familiar with it
and everybody knows it is true. Yet the
astonishing fact remains that even at
this time of the year the dull season
for homeseekers, more people are com
ing into New Mexico seeking homes
than into any other state or territory
in the west This is shown first by
postoffice statements, second by rail
road statistics, and third by the records
of the United States land office, of
which there are four in this territory.
Hon. T. Muller, receiver Of the Uni
ted States landoffice here, has just oom-
pleted brief statement for the use of
the secretary of the territorial bureau
of immigration, supplementing his an
nual report made at the end of the fis-
cal year on June 50, 1907. This state
ment shows that in Santa Fe land dis
trict alone, which handles but approx
mately one fourth of the public domain
in New Mexico, the astonishing total
of 156, 978 acres Of public lands have
been disposed of in original homestead
entries, desert land entries, cash sales
and small holding claims since July l,
1907, or an average of approximately
forty thousand acres month. And
this in the dullest four months of the
year in homesteading.
When it is considered that the land
office at Clayton, having jurisdiction
over eastern and northeasteastern New
Mexico, is doing an even larger business
than the Santa Fe landofTice, and that
the offices at Las Cruces and Roswell
are far from idle, it can be seen that
the rate at which the public domain in
New Mexico is going in surprising and
that immigration is coming with a rush
that means half million population be-
fore very long.
One of the most satisfactory features
of the statement just prepared by the
Santa Fe land office is the large num-
Der of final homestead entries recorded
during the four months, showing that
the people who are taking homesteads
in New Mexico are living on them and
making a living off them.

BOOSTERS ARE
HMAzED Rl CROPS
And Development of EstdnCld Vall6Y
Unanimously Declaring that
Half has not been told

The Ell Paso Boosters have come and
gone, but from the way they talked of
the valley they will not forget what
they saw and heard while here. While
such trip as matter of course must
be very unsatisfactory, owing to the
hurry and hustle, the trip having been
made through the valley in the day
time, was of sufficient duration to give
the Boosters an idea of what the valley
really is, and longing TO see more.
The special train arrived in Estancia
on last Friday morning about ten O'Clock
Immediately the Concha Mexican Band
struck up lively tune, which by the
way, was some of the best music ever
heard in the valley. The Boosters
formed in line and proceeded to dodge
our famous fishing ponds in the middle
of the streets. After the parade, some
time was spent in meeting and greeting
the business men, and getting acquain-
ted. AS the noon whistle was blowing
the engine called and the journey was
resumed towards the Capital City, but
not until number Of the Boosters had
secured samples of products and vege-
tables grown in the Estancia Valley,
for they claimed that they dared not so
back and tell the wonderful things they
had seen without material proof or they
feared forced membership in the Ana
Mas Club.
Upon the invitation of Manager Hum
phries, a number of Estancians boarded
the train with the party, and were CIV
en- better opportunity of becoming ac-
quainted with their neighbors of the
Pass City. Z The interest of the Boost
ers in the valley was shown by the
questions which they propounded as to
the climate, soil, water, crops, people,
history, possibilities, etc. of the valley
To man, the forty-seven Boosters,
were surprised to find anything like the
Estancia Valley, en- route.
Stops were made at each town along
the line, Santa Fe being reached about
four D. m. Here carriages were wait
ing che guests and they were Immediate
ly driven to the Capitol, San Miguel
Church, and other points of interest
At $50 a banquet was served the bust
ness men of Santa Fe and the Estancia
Valley by the Boosters at the Palace
Hotel, at which something over two
hundred plates were laid. Each speak
er as he was called upon did not fail to
speak his wonder advancement at what
he had seen during the day. The only
regretable occurrence was the haste
necessary, in order that the special
might again wend its way southwark.
The following from the Ell Paso Her.
aid on last Wednesday, gives an idea Of
what the Boosters thought of the val
ley and their trip:

viii support cattle for a part of the
year There are a few small patches
of fertile soil. On the coast few
Japanese fishermen have established
themselves.
1t is part of the conditions of the
lease that of the Kapapala lands the
lessee must construct a lawful fence
along the makai boundary as well as
this along the upper boundary. This
makai boundary is in effect the steam
cracks which for a good portion of
the distance are an effectual barrier
to cattle but need to be reinforced in
places with fence to keep cattle from
one part of the land to the other.
In this Kau desert below the steam
cracks there are considerable numbers
of wild donkeys, ownerless, which have
increased in number there until they
have become serious drawback to the
value of the land because they eat and
destroy the pasturage. These will
probably have to be exterminated. 1t
is the intention to seek to find use for
this land if possible or such parts of
it as have any value, and to lease it
in such areas hereafter as will best
serve the purposes of development and
revenue.
The Kapapala lands to be leased as
pasturage, therefore, extend practical
ly from the steam cracks of 1868 to
the 7000-foot contour. The conditions
of the lease require fencing both above
and below, and provide that any land
required for settlement or other pub
lie purposes during the term of the
lease can be withdrawn by the gov
eminent by making an equitable rebate
in the rental.
The whole area of the lands are, gen
orally speaking south and southwest of
the Crater of Kilauea.

Herewith is presented a reproduc-
ton, in its most important Features.
of the very elaborate map of the Ka-
papala lands, which was made by the
survey department for the land depart
ment. This map shows the boundaries
and contours, and the general char
acter of the land, and indicates the
purposes to which it may be put. It
also shows the location and area of
the principal kipukas or pockets Of
good land in surrounding lava.
The lease of the KapapaIa lands ex-
PRED July l. These lands include very
much more in area than is shown on
this map, as it includes thousands of
acres of land above the 7000-foot con-
tour, practically to the top of Mauna
Loa. The may, however, includes a
considerable area which is not to be
included in the pastoral lands or ansh
lands the lease of which is to be sold
at auction by the Land Commissioner
September 80. The land to be leased
is shown in the map as extending from
the 7000-foot contour down to the
steam crack of 1868. This reduces the
area of the land now to be leased to
about half the area of the land on
which the lease has just expired. The
reason for this reduction is that in its
q r0Jal1 q nvErnI of n
the expiration of it's old lease, the
lessee in its statements regarding the
rental value claimed that the land
above the 7000-foot contour was OF
little or no value; nor was the land
below the steam cracks of 1868 of much
value, and that therefore no additional
rental should be charged for these por-
tions. The Land Department there
fore determined not TO include the
mauka lands in the lease but to re-
quires the lessee to fence along the
7000-foot contour to keep cattle out
of the broken lands above partly to
protect the water supply from there,
and partly to see whether this land, if
kept clear of cattle and other animals,
would not develop a forest growth of
value, as similar elevations on Mauna
Kea have done. On Mauna Kea valu-
able growths of Mamani trees have
started up since sheep and cattle have
been kept out of it.
What is known as the Kau desert
below the steam cracks is an arid re-
gion, though there are some kipukas in
it which give promise of being made
available for something. There is in
many parts of it sparse growth which
