BRIDGE MATTERS IN
SOUTH CHAVES COUNTY

County Commissioner w. NJ. Atlkin-
son left this morning for Lake Ar
thu, where he has been invited to
attend a meeting tonight, called to
discuss the proposition of bridging
the Pecos river at Lake Arthur. The
people OF Lake Arthur have decided
to put in the bridge this summer,
whether they get any assistance from
outside sources or not. They have
asked the county commissioners to
promise to refund the money spent
on the bridge after two Or three years.
The commissioners do not consider
such plan feasible, however, as
this would be saddling a debt on
their successors in office, which they
do not consider fair.
The people of Hagerman are circu-
lating a petition to the county com
built across the Pecos river opposite
their town, the work to be done this
year and paid for next year The COM
missioners will look favorably on this
proposition, provided the Hagerman
people get the required 500 signers
to the petition, and the signers are
big taxpayilg citizens from all over
the county. If the taxpayers, the men
who will pay for it, want this bridge
and ask for it by signing the petition
it will be built. If they do not ask
for it, the commissioners will not act
at this time.

to secure the enactment of better
laws by our legislature.
Third That we endorse and COM
mend the course of the representa-
tives of the Valley in both Houses and
Council in standing for the reform of
some of the worst evils that affect our
commonwealth.
Fourth. That we request these rep
reseatatives to use every honorable
effort to secure the enactment by the
37th legislative assembly of this Ter
ritory of such a law as will effectua[
" prohibit licensed gambling in this
Territory and to that end that they
read these resolutions in both hous-
es of the Legislature.
A list was provided and all those
who desired to join the league signed
their names thereto. Upon suggestion
of Rev. Smith all ministers were re-
quested to announce the purposes of
the league at their next Sunday morn
ing service and urge cooperation on
the part of the Christian people
All speakers who were invited to
address this meeting were asked to
come to the next meeting and address
the League on that occasion. This
action was taken on account of the
light attendance and the lateness of
the hour. Thereafter the meeting ad-
journed.

MORE ART IN SCHOOLS.
Plans to Have Metropolitan Museum
Broaden It's Scope.

NEW YORK, March 16-That the Metro
pohtan Museum of Art is considering plans
by which 1t may be of more help in the art
education OF the community through CO.
operation with the educational authorities
was brought out last night in a discussion
or the future of the museum before the
Graduates Club at Ill 9Th avenue. Sir
Caspar Purdon Clarke, who was to have
spoken for the museum. had to go out OF
town. and his place was taken by Edward
Robinson, the assistant director
DR.. James p. Haney, director of art in
the public schools. in introducing Mr.. Rob-
inson said that the object of the meeting
was to try to make the museum feel that
in return for what 1t had received il should
perform the duty of bringing the knowledge
of art to the teachers in the public schools
Mr.. Robinson. who announced that he spoke
for Sir Purdon. said that the question was a
very large one.
at is, however, the desire of the trustees
of the museum" he said that it should be
a model in the education of the community.
In this matter it is necessary, / think, to
proceed cautiously. We want to avoid any
see this work proceed along healthy lines
ready come up for discussion in our board
and steps are being taken to bring about
these closer relations, but no definite plan
can be announced yet. / believe by next
fall some plan will have been decided upon"

OVER 1000 CHARTERS REVOKED
Jerseys Annual Wedding Out of De-
linquent Corporations-

TRENTON, n. j., March 16-Gov. Stokes
issued a proclamation yesterday revoking
the charters of more than 500 New Jersey
corporations which have failed to paw
the annual franchise tax levied by the state
for the fiscal year of 1905-O6 The procla-
nation Is an annual affair provided for
by the corporation laws for the wedding
out or delinquent corporations, and II sell
dom makes Its appearance without sensa-
tional stories of a great fight being waged
against corporate interests by the state
The~fact Is that the revocation of the
charters or even 1000 companies has little
effect upon the business world since a
large percentage of the corporations in
vowed are without actual existence, ex-
cept on paper. 1t Is estimated that prob
ab1y ~ per cent of the delinquent conn
panies have never transacted any actual
business since their incorporation, many
or them having failed even to secure sub
scribers to $1,000 worth of stock, which is
the minimum amount with which they NAV
start business
There are. of course in the list number
OF live companies whose failure TO nav
the tax Is due to financial troubles Neglect
is also responsible for the failure of other
companies to pay the tax, and the issuing
OF the proclamation will, as usual be fol-
lowed by applications for reinstatement
which may be obtained by payment of ali
taxes due.

LECTURE ON ARGENTINA.
Secretary Root Banqueted in Buenos
Ayres on American Trout

travels in Argentina" was the subject of
lecture delivered last evening at the
Northeast Temple by John w Titcomb
chief Of the division of fish culture in the
bureau Of fisheries. In the fall and winter
of 10000, Mr.. Titcomb stated. he exp,ored
the fresh waters of Argentina from Pata-
soiiia TO Paraguay, constructed hatchery
and introduced from the United States eggs
OF various species of salmon and trout
Inc eggs We're shipped via Europe, owing
TO the fact Of there being no direct line of
communication between New York and
Buenos Ayres
these eggs We're assembled from various
parts OF the United States in midwinter
transported to hatchery on the northeast
ern border of Patagonia, in Argentina
some three hundred miles overland from, he
nearest railroad station. in January ,eoI
midsummer in Argentina, and Matched
with loss of about 1 per cent
An interesting feature as a result of this
work was the serving of full-grown trout
at banquet to Secretary Root in Buenos
Ayres. The fish were Transported overland
three hundred miles, thence by rail, for the
occasion, as mark of appreciation of the
courtesy of the United States in donati
the eggs from which the fish were Matched
The lecture was profusely illustrated by
lantern slides. One picture showed John
Barrett, now director of the bureau of
American republics. in the midst of a
group of beautiful Argentine ladies. and
Mr.. IltcomD remarked that Barrett in six
months had endeared himself to the peonIe
and had done wonders toward cementing
the ties Of friendship between the ITnjted
States and Argentina.
The lecturer terms the Argentnes as a
lovable people and prophesies for the coun-
try great future.

Longfellow as a Lad.
From the Century Magazine.


Longfellow was a very handsome boy. re-
firing, without being reserved, active and
eager. He was kind hearted and affection
ate; sensitive. impressionable, impetuous.
He had blue eyes and chestnut hair; his
complexion was delicate: his cheeks were
rosy. His eyes were full of expression and
he looked one square in the face. He was
normal boy and a devotee of all a boys
games. He snowballed, coasted, skated
flew kites and swan. Sometimes he would
most of all he liked to lie under a tree and
read.
To such a boy the old farm was en-
chanted ground. He knew where the Grim
son cardinal flowers bloomed, where the
largest of the trout lived In the little brook
where the robins nested year after year, and
where to set homemade "box traps for
chfpmunks along the low stone walls. He
followed the mowers at haying time, "trod'
the load, and rode upon 1t to the great barn
In autumn he enjoyed the gayety of the
corn husking. watched the spinning wheel
being fed from the heap of carded wool
and helped to fill the quilts when the house.

In his works and life. was In the forming
Nowhere would he more Inevitably have
learned to love living things than at Wads-
worth Hall. The woods; the pleasant
reaches Of sunlit meadows the fields where
he searched for berries; the pastures penny
royal scented, where the cattle grazed; the
brook. with Its minnows; the little bridge
under which the pewee built; the river, the
humming song of whose fall was heard by
the boy In the quiet of night-all these
played their part to make the completeness
and beauty of that conception of nature
which was Longfellow's.

NEW FIRE ESCAPE Law
OFFICIALS AT DISTRICT BUILD
ING RUSHED WITH WORK.

The officials of the building department
and the fire department Of the District Of
Columbia say that never before in the his
tory of their Offices have they been so
rushed with routine work as they have been
in the last two or three months in their
attempts to enforce the provisions Of the
new fire escape law. A large number of
the buildings that come within the pro-
visions of this law are of such a nature as
to require annual licenses to operate and
the officials have had about all they could
handle in carrying out the intent of the
law and explaining 1t to the owners ana oc-
cupants of the buildings in question.
All hotels, theaters, public halls and
places Of amusement are required to pay
license to operate. but before such licenses
can be granted by the. assessor Of the Dis
trict he must have certificate from the
inspector of buildings and the chief of the
fire department that all the laws and regu-
lations have been complied with as to pub
lie safety. In view of the passage of the
new fre-escape law, which requires fire es-
capes and other fire appliances on buildings
more than three stories in height, or thirty
feet high, other than private residences, the
building inspector and fire chief could not
properly certify to the assessor as re-
quired by the license law, as they could In
former years, without a thorough inspec-
ton of the buildings requiring licenses, In
order to see whether they had made the
necessary additions and alterations to COM
ply with the fire escape law.
May Enter Into Agreement.
The officials commenced making the in
spections in January, and it will be several
months before the work has been COM
pleted. In the meantime, although appli-
cations have been made for licenses for
such places, the assessor Is unable to grant
them. Now, however. as all inspections OF
this class Of buildings are made, notices
are served or will be served upon the own
ers of the buildings to comply with the fire
escape law. The latter allows ninety days
to obey the notices, but in order that the
essary delay, the Commissioners have de-
the licenses, provided the owners enter into
a formal written agreement to make the
changes required within the ninety days.
The Commissioners have prepared such
a form of agreement, which Is being for
warded to the owners of the buildings at
fected, and the owner upon making the
agreement and filing 1t with the Commits
sioners may obtain the necessary license
without waiting for the expiration of the
ninety days or until such time as the nee
sary changes have been made.
At the last session of Congress an amend
ment was made to the law exempting
buildings more than thirty feet in height
more than three stories high when
they are used exclusively as stores and
Office buildings.

BEAT OXFORD BADLY
CAMBRIDGE TAKES THE GREAT
ANNUAL BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY. England. March 16.-Cambridge
University. with practically the same crew
as the one which defeated the Harvard men
last fall by two lengths. today beat Oxford
by four and one-half lengths over the same
course, from Putney to Mortlake, a dis
lance of about four and one-quarter miles
In the sixty-fourth annual boat race be-
tween crews representing the universities
Of Oxford and Cambridge. The time, %
minutes % seconds. was somewhat slow, q
gusty wind and rough water destroying all
chances Of beating the record over the
course. 10 minutes Al seconds established
by Oxford In 1893 and equaled by Cam
bridge in 1900.
The Oxonians won the toss and chose
the Surrey side Of the river. which. In view
of the strong southwesterly wind blowing.
experts calculated was worth two lengths.
Even with this advantage. however. the
oxford crew had no chance against Cam
bridge. which probably Is the finest British
crew that ever. pulled in an eight" and
all Of whom. except Powell and Burn,
rowed against Harvard last September.
The race today was procession.
Race In Detail.
Cambridge got away with a stroke of Al
to Oxford's 40. and quickly pushed the
nose of their boat in front. BY the time
the half-mfle post was reached the Cam
bridge men were well ahead. Passing I'M
der Hammersmith bridge. about Ia miles
from the start, Cambridge had a lead of a
length and a quarter and soon after that
the Cambridge boat was sufficiently clear
to cross the river and take Oxford's shell
tered water. The stroke by this time had
been reduced to 30 for Cambridge and 80
for Oxford.
Rough water at Chiswck Eyot, about 2k
miles from the starting point. was trouble
some to both crews, especially to Oxford,
when the strain began to tell, considerable
splashing being seen. Passing the three
mile post, Cambridge was from four to five
lengths in front and kept the same lead to
the end.
The Cambridge men were comparatively
fresh at the finish, but several of the OK
ford crew were badly exhausted. The Off
cial time was 20 minutes Is seconds.
While some of the edge was taken off the
keenness Of public interest by the general
opinion that the result Of the race was
foregone conclusion, there was little dimi-
mutton in the size Of the crowds present.
Masses of spectators lined the banks of the
Thames at all points Of vantage along the
course and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed.
