Va Are COmingltO:the Water Age.

I'VE have had the railroad age,
1bolieve we are coming to the water
.ro - said Mr.. L. Z. Robinson, a
banker of Welsh, La, who has been
hooking after some Of his property in
terests in Texas and who is stopping
st the Brazos'
aPresident Roosevelt has lately
talked of organizing commission on
waterways, to develop water trauspor-
cation in America, and many of the
States are agitating the question:"
continued Mr.. Ro bins on. "The
trouble is that the railroads have not
beeu able to keep up with the growth
of the country with respect to its
transportation needs. They have
done splendid work in developing the
country but they cannot meet the de-
nsnd, and there must be an attempt
made TO relieve the stress. The most
natural and normal way is to utilize
our waterways.
"Most of the States have pending
Law to bring down the passenger rate
Of railroads to , cents, but most OF
them are overlooking the real stress
Of the lack of cars to properly and
promptly haul freight. Texas has
passed law to force the railroads to
give cars in a certain time, but in
louisiana shippers can be made to
wait thirty days without redress.
From every State the cry of car FAM
ins Is going up. But in the mean
time the water question is being neg
lected.
Houston has made wonderful pro-
grssS In past years, but it will make
still greater progress when it becomes
aSeap0rt and has a deep waterway to
The gulf. | believe that it would be
wise for Houston to pay any price for
this facility. With railroad and wa
ter transportation there is no telling
how great it would grow. | believe
that 1t would be worth while to 60
deeply into debt for such an increased
facility | believe with Houston's
splendid promise of greater support it
would find little trouble in finding
fnanciers to float such bonds, as l
believe they would look upon them as
safe proposition.

TO EXPOSE FAKE
MINING SCHEMES
General Uncoverine Of Alleged Frauds
to Be Feature of Federal Grand
Jury at Denver.

Denver, Colo, Aug. IA general
uncovering of alleged mining frauds
is likely to be the feature of the next
session of the federal grand jury. The
postoffice inspectors have been at
work on large number of cases since
the session of the grand jury last
spring, and they have an immense
mass of evidence partly ready to be
submitted to the district attorney for
presentation to the grand jury. 1t Is
expected that grand jury will be
called in October to meet at either
Denver or Pueblo.
The grand jury last spring returned
several mining fraud indictments, in
Guiding those against the Lost Bul
lion Spanish Mines Company. 1t now
appears that this was but the prelimi
nary outcropping of sweeping inves
tigation. which may, before it is fin
ished, involve hundreds of men in
trouble with the federal authorities.
Just how many cases, If any. will be
presented to the grand jury this fall
cannot be predicted. The action OF
the government may depend in part
upon the outcome of the Lost Bullion
trial now in progress in the United
States district court 1t Is said upon
good authority, however that the post
office inspectors are at work on some
thing like 100 cases.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE
BECOMING SERIOUS
Extending to All Parts Of United
States and Cable Lines May Be A.
fected-Messages are Delayed.

Business of the country is being
more or less tied up by the strik, OF
Ithe union telegraph operators which is
spreading to all parts of the United
States. Unless the differences be
tween the strikers and the heads O,
the two great commercial telegraph
companies are settled within a few
days the cable lines may be affected
and there is possibility that the rail
road operators will declare a sympa-
thetic strike.
With the limited force of non-union
operators 1t is an utter impossibility
to handle the enormous amount of
business transmitted daily over the
telegraph wires, but kilograms are be-
ing accepted subject to delay. AL
though there are no operators in this
city on strike, the two offices here
are affected because of the delays en-
countered in sending messages.
The long distance telephone systems
throughout the country are reaping a
harvest on account of the telegra-
piers strike because people having
urgent messages to be transmitted do
not care to trust to the uncertainty OF
having a telegram forwarded and can
not wait for the slower process of de-
livery by mail.

WILL BUILD
HUGE WARSHIPS
Reported That England ContempIates
Construction of 10000 Ton
Monsters.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE naval
experts here have been somewhat
startled by seemingly reliable re-
port that England proposes to build
battle ships that will relegate the ter
rible Dreadnaughts to the second
class.
The proposed vessel is to have a
displacement of 10000 tons and will
have the unique arrangement OF six
turrents, each to hold three guns
With such an arrangement and with
six turrets for the main battery, it
would be possible to carry eighteen
Pinch guns. Experts here say that
if 10000 ton ships are built by Great
Britain there would be nothing to do
but to follow suit and to match at
least the first of the new fighting ma
chimes.

Chicago, Aug. 14-Upon plea of

of granting rebates to the Standard

it the Alton furnished the federal au-

gate the charge against the railway
company. Counsel for the Alton,
however, claim they are not worrying

The news of the resignation as sec.
retary of the Territory of Hon James
W. Reynolds is not a surprise to his
many friends, although such to the
people generally. 1t had been rumor-
ed for week that in case of the res.
ignation Nathan Jaffa of Roswell,
cashier of the Citizens National Bank
of that city, and one of it's leading
men in business, socially and in the
Republican party, would be appointed
upon the recommendation of Cover.
nor George Curry.
Resignation Was Voluntary.
The resignation of Secretary Ray
nolds means that Mr.. Reynolds was
desirous of retiring upon the assump
'tion of the Office of executive by Gov.
ernor Curry believing and consider.
ing it proper and the right thing to dc
that the new executive should have in
the Territorial office closest to that OF
the Governor an official who was in
entire accord with his views of admin
istration and official doings.
The kindest and best of feeling ex
lists between Governor Curry and Sec
retary Raynolds and the latter's re
tirement is for the purpose of doing
everything in his power to carry the
administration policies of the new
Governor into the speediest operation
Among the good people of this city
and of Las Vegas, his former home,
and throughout the Territory, Secre.
tary Reynolds is very well and fav-
orably known as an official and in pri-
vate life, Universal regret at his re-
tlrement from office is expressed. His
resignation was brought about by the
exigencies of politics and in no wise
affects unfavorably his official or
personal character.
Mr.. Jaffa Did Not Seek Office.
AS for Mr.. Jaffa, he was not a can
didate for the position and accepted it
at great sacrifice, but did so in order
to do his level best to stand by his old
friend, Captain George Curry, by the
Republican party Of the Territory as
well as to aid in every possible way
toward the proper, efficient and hon
est administration of the Sunshine
Territory and to help Governor Curry
wherever possible for the progress
and well being Of New Mexico.
Secretary Reynolds has served six
years and over in his present position.
His commission, had he remained in
office, would have expired January 13,
1910. 1t is expected that Mr.. Jaffa will
be in Santa Fe just as soon as he can
be replaced in the important financial
position he now holds, which, it is be-
lieved, will be by the end of this
month.
