Wheat. The News has long
proclaimed that this was q wheat

In New Mexico during the year of
1905 there were A, 1926 acres of
spring wheat, which made an aver
age yield of % bushel per acre,
which brought the farmer 1. S3 per
bushel or Spots per acre.
Barley.-This is comparatively
new to our section of the country
and the acreage a q little less
than one thousand, but the yield
was 81 bushels per acre and il
brought SO cents per bushel OF
$17.01 per acre.
Oats.--There were in 1906,
1920 acres of oats yielding 34.f
bushels to the acre and bringing

Hay.-During the past year
there we're 63,6S5 acres of hay in
New Mexico which produced 3!
tons to the acre and sold for $12.O OF

No, New Mexico is not going tt

INCREASE RATE ON LUMBER
Will Affect the Business East From
Los Angeles, San Pedro
and Redondo.

Los Angeles, Cal. Sept. 1S.-An in
crease of about 12h per cent in the
freight rate on lumber to eastern points
was announced today by all transcon-
tinental railroads, to take effect NOY
1. The increase applies largely to ship
ments east from Los Angeles, san
Pedro and RedOndO, and particularly
affects lumber firms that have been
shipping from the north by water and
reshipping here by rail
Since the recent rise of 10 per cent
on lumber shipments by the Northern
Pacific, much lumber has been shipped
south by water from Oregon and
Washington and routed east by rail
from here, which was cheaper haul
than the direct railroad route from the
north. There is now a heavy conges-
ton of lumber at San Pedro and Re
dondo, brought here for eastern ship
ment. Local lumbermen are protesting
loudly. as 1t means, they say. a serious
curtailment of their eastern business.
The railroads say the increase is de-
manded by the increase of price of
railroad equipments. The new lumber
freight rate is 45 cents a hundred, as
against 40 cents, the former rate.

In the Third ward the American
party had a hot time This ward being
not as yet under the party's wing and
there being little if any show for an
American TO be elected, nobody was
rushing very hard after the council NOM
nations. There was a good fOur-cor-
nered contest for the two city commit
tee nominations, which aroused some en-
thusiasm.
The three members, for the committees
on platform and resolutions, on creden-
tials and on organization and order of
business. were nominated by acClama-
ton. The acc,amatiOn, however, wasn't
loud enough 10 be heard across the
street.
These are the results:
J. f. McGinty for the long term in
the city council.

days ago in Judge Cleland's court by
John Klimovicz Of Grand Rapids,
Mich, as his wife, and identified by
Mrs. Mary 1ematis, also of Grand Rap
ids, as her daughter.
Klimovicz was arrested on a charge
of disordsrly conduct, on complaint of
Miss Tolan that Klimovicz had been
annoying her by his persistent claims
that she had been married to him two
years previously. Mrs. Klimovicz Of
fered to furnish proof of her identity,
but her resemblance to her husbands
pictures and her remarkable likeness
to Miss Tolan were conclusive evil
dence. The likeness between the two
women, which is so great that two
mothers appeared in court and each
identified the Tolan girl as her own
daughter, is more marked in the women
than their pictures.
Remark Piqued Her.
When the case OF mistaken identity
came I'D in court incident to Klimo-
VicZ's trial, Mrs. KlimOvicZ was living
under an assumed name three and
half miles east of Elgin. The denoue-
ment was due primarily to pique over
a sighting remark made in the court
room by Miss Tolan.

remark. IF she can put both of her

Thereupon she determined to put an
end TO the queer tangle OF identities
which had hitherto proved a puzzle too
difficult for any person connected with
the matter to solve. and consequently
came to Chicago with the intention CT

her identity. Upon her arrival here.
however, she learned that the charge
against KIimovicz had been dismissed
by Judge Cleland, who acknowledged
he was unable to unravel the mystery.
Disappointed at this information, Mrs.
Klimovicz returned to Elgin. She said
that she had been afraid 10 make her
self known to her husband, because Of
fear of personal violence. She expressed
an intention of forcing him to get a
divorce and free her
