statement for publication in
which he declares himself in ia
vor Of a 2-cent law to apply to

No Land Frauds.

Judge A. B. Fall, the new
attorney general of New Mexico,
when asked If he intended to in
vestigate the alleged land and
timber frauds in the territory,
replied as follows:
las far as | know there are
not any land and timber frauds
in New Mexico. There have
been some evasiens but no cases
like those in Oregon have occur
red. When the United States
government gave the territory
land to be disposed of for school
and public institutions, the pro-
vision was made that lots not to
exceed l60 acres were to be sold
to any individual. The Alamo
gordo Lumber company has ac-
quired 10000 acres of timber
land. This land was bought in
lots of l60 acres each by individ-
uals and by them transferred to
the lumber company. When the
land was sold it was known that
it was to be acquired by the lum-
Der company. There was no Sc
cret about it. The territory re-
ceived a good price for the land,
probably more than it was worth.
Since that contract was made
what are called special agents or
detectives Of the United States
government have spread the re-
port that land frauds were occur
ring in the territory and brought
suit against the lumber company,
the officials of the territory and
the territory itself. 1t is my
opinion that the United States
should not interfere. The land
was given to the territory and !
think that the territory should
have the right to dispose of it as
it deems best. think that the
time is not far off when the dis.
pute between the government
and the territory will be adjust
ed.
IF should find that lane
frauds are being practiced in thu
territory, l will unhesitatingl.

law.
Concerning the reported Goa
land frauds | will say thes
lands are owned by the Unite
, States and the law governin
: their disposal is different froI
that governing the sale of tn
timber lands which were give
the territory. In one case wher
an indictment has been returne
the evidence seems to be yer
strong against the defendant.

Primitive EnqIish Railroad.

In the lake district of England there
is a tiny railway which has only one
train, run by two officials, one Of
whom is managing director, ticket col
lector, guard and porter, and the other
chief engineer, engine driver and
stoker. The train stops anywhere. 1t
frequently goes off the line, but crow
bars are carried, with which the train
is persuaded to return to its proper
position. When a friend of either off,
cial is observed the train is brought
to a standstill. At one time, when the
managing director was counting the
daughter of a farmer through whose
lands the line ran, the young lady
would take her stand at a certain gate
every evening, the train would be
stopped and the young man would kiss
her good night.
