The Territorial Public Lands
Should Not Be Sold.

House Bill l6l providing for
managing the Territorial school
lands, seems to have for its OBJ
ject the simplifying of the man.
aging of these lands and the Civ
ing to the commissioner of public
lands such powers that there will
be less friction. 1t gives him ad-
ditional help in the office and for
classifying and caring for the
lands in an expert way. He has
long needed such assistance.
With this additional help a strong
leasing system can be built up
that will some day be a great
thing for the Territory.
The bill, however, should be
amended so that all lands that
Congress gave to New Mexico
schools and educational institu-
tons shall be withdrawn from the
market and not sold, but leased.
1t is not good policy to sell them
in their present undeveloped
state. Ten to twenty years from
now when the great southwest

he was rusting.

Northwestern Monfed Men Pay Visit to Montgomery to Look Over Plantation i'm Western Part

That farm lands of Montgomery County are growing rapidly in value and are in growing demand is evidenc- ed by the visit of several northwes- tern monied men to Montgomery few days ago, who were here with a view, 1t is understood. of purchasing tract of land containing from 1000 to 1.50o acres in the western part of the coun- ty.
 Who the visitors were could not be learned and 1t was only in vauge way that any information was secur- ed at all in reference to the visit of the prospective purchasers The fact, how ever. remans that capital is seek ing investment in local land for the purpose of introducing the best sys- tens of farming known to the country,
 Recently, 4T6 acres of land on the Selma road, nine miles from the city was purchased by w. l.. Van Felt from Mrs. Mary F-. 'Dfffaru@ fUrs ses5oe. The land which the northwesterners looked at, is fin the same neighbor- hood.
 The wave of activity in this section of the county has started by the pur- chase last year of the Stone planta- ton by J. Young of Kentucky, who has moved to the farms and installed extensive improvements In the past eighteen months transfers of property in this section alone have been made aggregating more than &10o,0o0.

Captain Phil McRae brought a grewsome story to Montgomery when his train No. over the Louisville and Nashville reached here yesterday morn ing at s:15 o'clock
 We had just passed out of Mobile said Capt. McRae. land was making my rounds as usual, unlocking the closet doors. In the closet in connec- tion with the smoking car I found the body of man suspended from the wall by a strap and quite dead.
 ''The man had evidently hanged himself while the train was in the Mo- bile station, as the body was hardly cold Around the neck of the corpse was red bandana handkerchief, and to this was attached strap of the kind usually used on travelling cases. Calling the train crew we cut down the body, and made every effort in the hope of reconciliation, but this was too late .''
 Tn the pockets of the dead man was a ticket from San Francisco to New York, tax receipt and a hospital re- ceipt made out to John Hippo. The tax receipt was signed by N. F. Thom- as, assessor of Cendocino County. Cal ifornia. The hospital receipt bore the name of E. W. Dillingham; and was dated March 14. On the person of this man who had ended his life In such an unusual way was also s13.90 cents in cash.
 The body was taken off the train at Bay Minette, Baldwin County, where it was turned over to the proper offi- cials.

The police court was the busy ptace today and Judge Feagln has some hard work ahead for several days as result of the crusade being made by the po- lice department assisted by the sheriiI on the gamblers, vagrants and others who are not conducting themselves in the straight lines.
 The new closing ordinances for sa- loon found one violator shortly after midnight, but the excuse was given that a i1inge~on e door broke just as at was being closed and the two porters were fixing the same when the ofll- cers came around The evidence went to show that the negroes were in the place ten minutes over time and fine of s1O0 each was imposed by the judge.
 A number of white men charged with heinz vagrants were before the court this afternoon. Tn many of the cases the men were known as gamblers.
 Inasmuch as the new State law pro vides that vagrants have the burden or proof instead of the State the men are going to make fight and before all the cases have been disposed of. some time will have been consumed. At the last meeting of the city council resolu tion was adopted making all misde- nleanor laws under the State code ms r. demeanors under the city code so that prosecution can be brought about by the police as well as by the State offl- eials in the police court of the city

BIG BOWLING TOURNEY.
Heavy Entry List for Competition at
 Atlantic City.

AhAahhHC OA&ss
 Atlantic City, N. J., March 25.-The first tournament of the National Bowl ing Association, which was organized last year as a result of the failure Of Philadelphia to obtain the meeting of the American Bowling Congress, opened in Atlantic City today and will continue two weeks. The membership Of the association comprises nearly all of the Eastern cities formerly allied with the American Bowling Congress.
 The entry list for the tournament is made up of 120 flve-men teams, 260 two-men teams and 4s7 individuals. The cities represented include New Haven, Reading, Rochester, Philadel- phia, New York, Baltimore, Washing ton. Paterson, Wilmington, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Elizabeth. New Brunswick Buffalo, Newark, and Jersey City.
 Several cities beyond the Eastern territory have sent representatives to the tournament. among them Chicago, Cfncinati, Cleveland and Louisville. The prize money for which the teams and individuals age to contest agBre- gates nearly $7.000. Of this sum, $2.550 will go to the winning flve-men teams, $2. .210 to the successful two-men teams and S2,O69.75 to the winning indtvidu- als The money will be divided on a percentage plan. In the big team class { the i've rolling the high three game score will receive S255. the second will receive $229.50, and the others in pro portion. The same method will hold good in the doubles and the singles. | The first two-men prize will be $176.So, or per cent. while the best individual total will be awarded $l34.52. This arrangement spreads out the prize money. and 1t is believed will lead to a more satisfactory distribution by pre- venting the few leading teams or men from capturing the hulk of the money.

 There have been several conflicts between peasants and troops, notably at Bacess fin the district of Vaslui, where 2,000 peasants armed with rifles and revolvers attacked a company of soldiers. The troops fired several vol- leys, killing forty peasants and wound- ing large numbers, but the soldiers were so greatly outnumbered that they finally were obliged to retreat,

 Thousands of peasants surround the little town of Rosfori de Vede, in the Alexandria district, with the intention of footing 1t if a favorable opportunity arises.
