The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-03-04

The following letter was received
a few days ago by the Secretary of
the Roswell Commercial Club 1t ex,
plains itself:
Washington, D. c., Feb. 81, 1907
Mr.. J. A. Graham,
Roswell, New Mexico
Dear Sir The samples of sugar
beets which you sent to the Depart
ment of Agriculture for analysis were
promptly received. and 1 obtained
from the Bureau of Chemistry few
days ago the following reports:
Sample No. I.
Average weight of beets, 10 OF.
Sugar in the beets, per cent. 1914
Sugar in the juice, per cent. 20.4
Coefficient of purity, S6.4.
Sample No. 2.
Average weight of beets, 13 OF.
Sugar in the beets, per cent. 1853
Sugar in the juice, per cent. III
Coefficient of purity, SIG
Mr.. Goodheart's samples sent in at
the same time, tested as follows:
Sample No. 1.
Average weight of beets, 13 OF.
Sugar in beets, per cent. 1S.5
Sugar in juice. per cent. 1875
Coefficient of purity, S7-3
Sample No. 2.
Average weight of ibeets, II OF.
Sugar in beets, per cent. 1872
Sugar in the juice, per cent. 1872
Coefficient of purity, 84.2
| will send Mr.. Goodheart's report
to him direct, but l thought you
would probably be interested in
knowing the results of his samples.
All of the beets were reported wilted
wnen they reached the Bureau of
Chemistry. This makes the tests hit
tie higher than they would have been
if the samples had been tested as
soon as they were taken from the
ground. 1t also makes the average
weight of the beets somewhat larger
On the whole the tests are very salts
factory.
1 should be glad to have you give
sugar beetS another trial the coming
season, and if you will write to me
upon receipt of this report, indicating
your desire to continue the sugar
beet tests, I shall be glad to send a
small quantity of seed to your ad-
dress. If other farmers in your vicini-
ty are interested, and you will send
me their names and addresses, l will
send to them also a sufficient quantity
of seed for trial. l think it would be
advisable to have eight or ten tests
in the vicinity of Roswell if possible
Very truly yours,
C. o. TOWNSEND,
Pathologist in Charge of Sugar Beet
Investigations.

the investigation is still going on
The joke in this bill is that Mr.. Bur
sum might bring action the next day
| after the passage of the bill, have his
accounts settled on the basis of what
| is known to be due and tnen snap his
! fingers in the fact of the courts
! should any further amounts, no matter
how large. be discovered to be due
and owing by him.
Although the bin passed the council
by vote of IL to l, it is believed that
there will be a stronger opposition
to it in that body when it comes up
received in the council this (Monday)
afternoon when the council meets at
3 O'Clock and the indications are now
that it will not get through by any
thing like a vote of IL to 1, if it gets
through at all. Some of them are
not anxious to go on record as favor
ing a whitewashing bill and they are
likely to balk wnen the roll is called
on the passage of the bill. The pas
sage of this bill would be worth 5000
votes to the democratic party in the
next election and some of the republi-
cans int the council are wise enough
to see it. Many republicans are weary
of supporting the plunderbund and If
the republicans in the council pass a
bill for the relief of the plunderers
of the public store these men are go
ing to line up on the other side.
Advocates of new counties are still
at work trying to strengthen their po-
sitions, but with what success can
not be told. 1t is known tnat the hear
ings in several of the new county pro-
jects have been concluded and that
the committee on counties and coun-
| ty lines is ready to report. Should a
sufficient number of the members OF
the legislature be secured for a COM
bination to pass these measures, the
reports would be forthcoming at
once.
1t is understood that the Governor
has made up the list of appointments
and it is reported in some quarters
that the names will be sent in this
week, but nothing can be ascertained
from an Official source
More than two-thirds of the pres
ent session has expired and little has
been done in the way of making new
laws. The tax bill, introduced by Dun
can, and which consumed a week S
time in the council in committee of
the whole for its consideration. is
in the mouse with small prospect of
passage. This is regarded as one OF
the most important bills before tle
legislature. The appropriation bill IS
under consideration in the house.
and there are rumors that it will be
held I'D and that it will, ultimately,
fail of passage. There yet remains
but sixteen legislative days of this
session, but they are expected to be
strenuous days and full of surprises

A Thought That May Grow.

Yesterday morning the six year old
son of the ''Parson" was playing with
a ball and bat in the yard, while his
elder brother was helping with the
nousework. The little fellow, after a
half hours play came to the door, and
asked:
Henry, does Hester ever play ball
at the Military Institute when he has
the stomach ache?"
When the old man recovered, he
told the boy that if Hester ever did
so ne never let the fellows on the
other side find it out.
The six-year-old took it literally,
and went back to his play without
further explanation. s1bme day he may
be able to understand the whole mean
ing of the advice, and is he carries
the thought into practice will have
learned a lesson as valuable as any
contained in the one ne missed at
Sunday school.

his entire task before noon, and 1t

when he attached his signature to
that measure. This was the last bill
he signed at the capitol.
The senate adjourned sine die at

President Stole a Trick.
Washington, Mar. 4.-The President
on Saturday signed a proclamation
creating or increasing thirty-two for
est reserves in various Western
states. The agricultural bill then
pending contained a provision that
hereafter such reserves should not
be established except by act of con-
gress. The President concluded that
the reserves which he considered
necessary would be wholly or in part
dissipated before congress could again
consider the matter. In memorandum
the President says that if congress
differs from him it will have full op-
portunity in the future to take such
position as it desires anent the dis
continuance of reserves.

To Help Russian Famine Sufferers
Washington, Mar. 4.|Declaring
that Russia always has been a good
friend of America in the past. Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a letter to the Rus
sian famine relief committee of New
York, made public today, appeals for
contributions il behalf of the famine
sufferers in that country. With his
letter he sent a personal check for
800. He calls attention to the liter
ally unparalleled prosperity of our
country and hopes the people will
give generously on this occasion.

GREAT NORTHERN STEAM
SHIP DAKOTA ASAO

Toxic, Mar. 4-The captain of the
Japanese steamer Tokai, who was
steaming abreast the Great Northern
steamship Dakota yesterday, reports
that when he sighted the steamer she
was headed southwest. She changed
her course quickly in order to avoid
grounding just at the moment when
she struck. Sne was evidently swept
out of her course by the current The
passengers were panic stricken, but
We're rescued by boats from the To
kai and from the land, which took
all ashore. The calm but dreaded cur
rent peculiar to the locality off Shira-
hama was very strong. The Dakota
now lies one mile off shore with ner
bow under water up to the second
mast. She is still sinking
The Vaderiand FIoated.
London, Mar. 4.-Advices from Do
yer state that the Red Star Line
steamer Vaderland. which grounded
on Goodwin sands last night, got off
early today and proceeded on her voy-
age. The fact that the steamer re-
sumed her voyage indicates that sne
sustained no serious damage.

Santa Fe, N NJ. March A. the
event of the past week in the legisla-
ture was the passage of the bill, intro
duced in the council on Wednesday,
by President Spiess, providing for a
method of settlement of accounts by
public officers. The bill, while it is
general in its terms. is so plainly for
the benefit of Mr.. Bursum that its
friends no longer seriously deny its
object. Last week was busy one
for Bursum. SpieSs. Holt and some
other friends of Mr.. Bursum both in
and out of the legislature. Frequent
conferences were held in the Claire
hotel where the bill was talked over
and its provisions arranged. AS origi-
nally drawn and introduced by Mr.
Spiess. the object of the bill was not
so apparent. although it was easy
enough to see that Mr.. Bursum might
easily take advantage of its provisions
and get out of a bad mess easier than
he otherwise might.
The bill was made the special order
in the council for Thursday afternoon
and it was considered in committee
of the whole where several amend
meats were made. These appointments
made il more apparent that the bill
had been introduced in the interest
of Mr. Bursum but the finishing touch
was put on in the house on Friday
afternoon In order to get the meas
ure promptly before the mouse. night
session was held Thursday evening
in the house. Although it was very
late in the afternoon when the meas
ure passed the council, it was ready
to be reported to the house when tnat
body assembled just before s O'Clock
Thursday evening. 1t was read twice
and referred to the judiciary commit
tee and was reported by that COM
mittee on Friday afternoon with what
appeared to be a slight amendment
in section II of the bill as amended in
the council. This section provided
that in case of an officer out of office
the suit might be brought in the coun-
ty where the officers resided. The
house Judiciary committee amended
this section by striking out the word
may" and inserting the word "shalP
so that the amended section provides
that where officers are no longer in
Office SUITS must be brought in the
county where the officer resides.
This bill provides that whenever
judgment against person, rendered
under the provisions of the act, is
paid the officer and his sureties shall
become fully released and discharged.
This provision might be of considera-
BILE value to Mr.. Bursum. Wne1 the
accounts of the penitentiary were first
examined there were a number OF i'm
portant items which were not discov-
cred owing to the fact that some of the
important books were missing. Since
the close of the investigation which
resulted in the report of the expert
last August there nave been thousands
of dollars in accounts unearthed anu
