County Officials Visit Denver.

Assessor Adsmond, accompanied
by his chief deputy. Sam Brown,
went to Denver last Monday to at
tend the annual meeting of the as
SCISSORS of the state who convene an
nually in August to compare
schedules. Tho assessment all over
the state is practically completed,
and no changes were made in the
figures. There was only one day s
session and the meeting proved q
fizzle, as it always does, none Of the
assessors being particularly anxious
to do their work all over again at
the suggestion of some disinterested
party. II the annual meeting was
held in February, before the work
of assessing property was under
way it might result in some good.
but as it is it is nothing more than a
farce. rhe assessors meet because
the law says they must, do nothing,
turn around and come right back
home again.
Mr.. Adsmond says that the in
crease in property valuations in
Otero county this year will be in the
neigtborhood of $3.50, 600, of which
amount $1,000 is corporate prop
erty. the increase of the latter being
on account of the Arkansas Valley
railroad. now owned by the Santa
Fe company.

The Santa Fe is evidently worried

We were recently interviewed by a
Santa Fe special officer. who wished
to ascertain the source from which
we received information concerning

The special officer declared that Gen

ton concerning the Santa Fe is Sc
