 Lisbon. May 20.-An interesting case to test the validity of the new press law has just resulted in the editor of Omundo being convicted and fined $110
 The paper. to test the law, publish cd an article that the prime minister was insane. Its proprietors engaged well known alienists and counsel and was prepared to push the case to the most ridiculous extent. but the court would allow no discussion of the prem ier's mental condition. In this respect the test was a failure. but it is be- lieyed that the agitation would ulti- mately result in the repeal of the ob- noxious statute.
 Under it's provisions a committee or public prosecutors is entrusted with arbitrary powers of censorship over every newspaper in Portugal.

A LAW IS INVALID
JUDGE HUNDLEY HOLDS AGAINST
 ALABAMA STATUTE.
Act To Prohibit Pooling Of Insurance Tariffs Is Contrary To The Con. stitution Of The United
 States.

Anniston, May 20.--(Special. )--An interesting question arose in the trial of the suit of Dr. Hall against the German American Insurance Company in the Federa1e Court. when Judge Hundley held, on demurrer by the defendant company, that the Alabama statute designed to prohibit pooling of tariff rates by insurance companies and imposing a penalty of twenty-five per cent of losses by the insured. was void and contrary to the Constitution of the United States.
 This question has been passed upon by the Supreme Court of Alabama, it Is said. and decided precisely contrary to Judge Hundley's holding, the court hold ing that the State had a right to enact such laws as were deemed necessary to prohibit pooling in rates by insu- rance companies, even to the extent of fixing a penalty therefor.
 Judge Hundley's views is that the statute Is too broad: that. to interpret 1t as 1t reads would as virtually pro- hibit the lowering of rates as the in- creasing of them.
 The decision was rendered yesterday when the defendant company entered a demurrer to that feature of the claim seeking to collect twenty-five per cent of the loss of house and stock of goods as a penalty.
 It will require an appeal to the Su- preme Court of the United States to settle this matter. After considerable legal sparring, the court began the examination of the first witness in the case this morning. It will not likely be finished before Tuesday.

Grant County has done very good
work in assessing property for taxable
purposes. He was ably assisted by
competent deputies. The increase in
taxable values of Grant County this
year will be considerable. The county
treasurer, Jackson Agee, is very
methodical and systematic in the
keeping of his accounts and books and
public funds in his possession were
found properly deposited in bank as
required by law. The assessment rolls
of Grant County this year will show
that the people have over $4,000 in
cash upon which they are willing to
pay taxes. This Is a great increase
and it is believed will make the best
showing in that line in the Territory.
The assessor Of Luna County, G.
w. Cook, has also performed his du-
ties well and the assessed valuation
this year will be greater than that of
1906. Ell. Carskadon, treasurer, mas his
accounts and books in very good shape
and the cash balances due to the
county and other funds were found
properly deposited.
Assessor G. e. Miller, Of Dona Ana
County is making a commendable rec.
ord and in that county there will also
be shown an increase in valuations
over last year Oscar Lohman, the
treasurer, is very good official
keeps his records in excellent shape
and the public funds in his case are
deposited with banks as is required
Travelling Auditor Stafford states that
matters connected with assessing and
collection and safe keeping of taxes
in the counties named have been
greatly improved in every way and in
fact are very good and up-to-date.
There has been more attention and
more care paid to proper assessment
this year han ever before, and hence
the assessment valuations will be
larger and the tax rates cut down cor
respondently.

and would have been executed yester-
day. but for the communication OF their

Entered Prison Calmly
Sheriff Eduardo Tafoya of Sierra
County and deputy brought the two
delinquent girls from Hillsboro where
they have been incarcerated since
their arrest, arriving on the morning
train over the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway. They did not ex-
hibit any emotion as the heavy pris-
on gates closed behind them and shut
them off from freedom AS the train
on which they were passengers came
within sight of the penitentiary and
it was pointed out to them they looked
at it intently. Whether they were gaz-
ing through the car windows at the
big penal institution simply curious to
see what it looked like or were CON
templating the future that lay before
them within those forbidding walls

as they alighted from the train and
walked with their two guards to the
main entrance and disappeared inside.
Was All Ready for Execution.
Sheriff Tafoya had made prepara-
tions for the erection of the scaffold
on which the two women were to be
hanged and was getting everything in
readiness for the double execution
when he received a telegram from Act
ing Governor Reynolds notifying him
that their sentences had been com
muted and that the official order would
reach hime by registered mail When
the two females were apprised of the
executive clemency shown them they
appeared to be pleased As the date
set for their execution drew near they
began to realize in some degree the
terrible fate that awaited them on the
gallows.
Superintendent Arthur Trelford was
asked this afternoon what employ
ment he would give the two women
and he said they would be taught sew
ing and other useful occupations the
same as the other female conyicts.

ORCHARD ALSO
A F|REBUG
Adds Crime of Ar
son to His List of
Misdeeds
DEFENSE SHOWS ITS HAND
VIII Attempt to Prove Con.
spiracy Against Union BY
Mine Owners Association.

Boise, Idaho, June S.-The Hay
wood murder trial was resumed at
$50 O'Clock this morning with Harry
Orchard. chief witness for the state,
still under examination The Hay
wood family group now numbering
seven, was in court when the proceed
ngs began, ...
Orchard testified today that he did
not become acquainted with Pettibone
until 1904 of the same year that he
went with Moyer to Ouray as his
bodyguard. He roomed over PETIT!
bones store for a while at that time.
Orchard constantly corrected Attor
ney Richardson as to the inferences
he would draw from answers ard as
to the attorneys recollection of his
direct testimony. Haywood repeated
ly consulted with Richardson, sng.
gesting questions and giving colrecy
dates.
What Defense Expects to Prove.
The tact taken by Attorney Rich
ardson in asking Orchard if he wanted
Adams to help him in the assassina-
ton of Governor Peabody because
Adams was a federation man. is taken
as an indication that the defense will
contend that Orchard was in the en-
ploy of the Mine Owners Association
and tried to involve the federation or
federation man in all his crimes. 1t
is certain that the defense will claim
that there was a counterplot on the
part Of the mine owners to break up
the Miners Union by having all law
less acts attributed to it.
Fails to Confuse Witness.
Orchard adhered to every one Of his
first statements and elaborated them
under a hail of questions from the
counsel for the defense. Attorney
Richardson devoted much time to fix
ing dates. The witness said that Pet
tibone had reported the proposed as
sassination of Detective Gregory to
the executive board of the Western
Federation and represented to the
board members that he thought 1t
would be a good thing He said that
Jack Simpkins, James Kirwan, E. c.
Coallley and Jack Williams were mem
bers of the board at that time
Did Orchard Have Personal Grudge
Against Steunenberg7
In response to question Orchard
said that he had written the story OF
his life in book form. He said that
Detective McPharland had seen the
work but he denied that McPharland
ever suggested any changes in the mar
rative. The defense here endeavored
to lay the foundation for showing that
Simpkins, because he was in the Idaho
bull pen, and Orchard, because he was
driven out of Idaho and forced to sell
his interest in the Hercules mine.
which later became very valuable, had
a deep personal grudge against Ex-
Governor Steunenberg.
Confesses to Crime of Arson.
Orchard created sensation today
by adding the crime of arson to his
long list of misdeeds. He said he and
Johnny Neville decided to burn Ne
ville's saloon near the Independence,
Colorado, depot. collect the insurance
and divide it. He set fire to the place
with "Pettibone dope Orchard got
$100 Of the 5000 insurance Neville col
lected.
The court adjourned for the day at
II: Sc o'clock with Orchard still on the
witness stand.

'e submitted at the next regular meet

ing. ......
| desire now to submit few sug-
gestlons concerning the employment
and pay of teachers | find upon in
vestigation that our best regulated
and most efficient schools throughout
the country have certain regulations
governing the salary of teachers. A
scale of advancement somewhat as
follows is followed: For first year
of an inexperienced teacher the sal
ary is set at $35, $40, or $45. | think
never above s45 for the first year. At
the end of the first year If she proves
herself efficient, her salary is raised
either $3.50 or S. per month. The
second year the same is repeated and
so on from year to year until the limit
of the best teachers is reached.
If at any time a teacher is not
found worthy of the schedule raise,
she is dropped from the teaching
force. Thus a teacher has an incen-
tive to hold on and to do better work
each year, and remain in the employ
of the board 1t is a settled fact that
the longer a good teacher remains In
the employ of the same board, the
more valuable her services are to that
board until the limit IS reached, if 1t
is ever reached This Is certainly
business-like No one would think of
employing or retaining young, in
experienced lawyer Or physician and
paying him the same salary or fee
that he would pay to an experienced
and successful lawyer or physician,
and no lawyer or physician of little or
no experience except that which he
might obtain during his college career,
would think of asking or receiving a
very large sum or fee for the first few
years of his practice. Teaching is
just as much a profession. and just
as difficult, as is that of either the
lawyer, doctor, salesman or any other.
The sooner this fact is realized and
acted upon by Boards of Education,
the sooner good teachers will come to
the front and the poor ones will drop
out of the profession. AS long as in
experienced, good, bad and Indifferent
teachers are paid the same salary our
children will suffer, become discour
aged, and many of them drop out Of
school long before they would if they
had good, sympathetic earnest, eff
cient teachers.
1t costs no more money to adopt
some good schedule plan than it does
teachers. and set sum for princi-
pals and High school teachers. Many
young ladies and gentlemen too, teach
a year tr two to get a little money to
get married on, or to do something
else foreign to the teaching profess
sion, and who would censure them
when they can step into as good posi-
tions as old, experienced and success
full teachers.
| would also recommend that in the
future il it is found necessary to en-
ploy young, inexperienced teachers
that they be selected from Santa Fe
or surrounding territory, thus encour-
aging and helping our own people,
everything else being equal, During
the past year we had a fine corps OF
teachers, and l hope we shall have as
good a corps the coming year.

the first eight months of its life is
from September or October to May
and these first eight months are the
most important of all in determining
what sort of a COW it will make. The
problem is to so raise the heifer as
to put her in a developing way
towards motherhood. She must have
a generous allowance of developing
food, ensilage, nicely cured alfalfa, II
possible, if not, red clover hay, lit
tie ground oats, bran and barley, say
a pound a day, until she is year old.
That will give her start she will not
forget. Breed her when 10 to IL
months of age to first class regis
tered sire of the same blood line;
keep her till two years old and have
a nice bunch of them to turn off each
year. To secure the highest prices,
advertise them in farm paper that
is read by men who are looking for
such stock. Now the revenue from
sales of such stock shall will be far
more profitable than from feeding
steers, and the price for likely dairy
heifer will closely equal that of fine
steer of the same age, while she has
not cost nearly as much.
This kind of dairy farming educates
the farmer to be a breeder, sk1llful
