MARION SUPPORTS
SINGLE STATEHOOD
Also Favors Drafting of Tentative
Observation-Disclosures to Be
Appointed BY Governor.

Governor Curry is in receipt OF a
letter from Attorney 0. N. Marion of
Albuquerque, who is one of the most
prominent Democrats in the terri
tory, in which Mr. Marron voices his
approval of the statehood campaign
Just launched in New Mexico. The Al
buquerque lawyer believes the time
is opportune for the fight for single
statehood and believes New Mexico's
claims will receive favorable consider
alton at the next session Of Congress.
Mr.. Marion is heartily in favor OF the
drafting of a tentative constitution to
be submitted to Congress but believes
the trainers of this document should
be appointed by Governor Curry rath-
er than having the work done by the
delegates elected last year when the
joint statehood question was voted
on in New Mexico and Arizona.
The writer is of the opinion that If
a good tentative constitution is pre-
sented to Congress 1t will have the
effect of disarming opposition and has
tening the passage of an enabling
act.

CONSULTED WITH
GOVERNOR CURRY
Dr.. r. e. Mcbride, President Of Terri.
toral Medical Association Visited
Capital On Important Mission.

DR.. r. E. Mcbride of Las Cruces,
president of the Territorial Medical
Association, and member of the
board of regents of the College of Ag-
riculture and Mechanic Arts, who was
in town yesterday in consultation
with Governor Curry, returned home
last night. DR.. Mcbride called on the
governor in relation to the appoint
ments of members Of the Territorial
Board of Health made by Ex-Governor
Herbert j. Hagerman during the ses-
sion of the 37th Legislative Assembly.
1t seems that under the law estab-
fishing the Board of Health appoint
ments of it's members by the ex-gov-
ernor should have been made from
physicians recommended by the Ter
ritorial Medical Association. As in
many other cases Hagerman ignored
the law and suited himself it is claim
ed 1t is understood that the Terri
tOrial Medical Association has made
recommendations for appointments
and hence DR.. McBride's call on Gov
ernor Curry.
DR.. Geo. w. Harrison of Albuquer.
que, also a member of the Territorial
Medical Association, was here yester-
day on the same mission and called
on Governor Curry with DR.. Mcbride.

CANDIDATE FOR
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
e. A. Chaffee, Las Cruces Lawyer, Has
Consultation With Governor
Curry.

e. a. Chaffee, a practicing attorney
at Las Cruces, came to the city last
night, and today interviewed Governor
Curry. Mr.. Chaffee, although resi-
dent of Dona Ana county, is a candi-
date for district attorney for the dis
trict composed of Socorro and Sierra
counties, which rs now held
by H. A. Wolford, Of Hills
boro, Sierra county, should a
vacancy occur. Mr. Chaffee has been
resident of Dona Ana county for
uw0nty years. He was first admitted
to the bar in New York state in 1873.
He is recommended by several ol
the members of the bar Of Dona Ana
county.
There is nothing adduced so far
that might indicate that a change in
the position of district attorney for
Socorro and Sierra counties Is under
consideration or contemplated. There
are no charges against Mr.. WOlford
in the executive office at this date and
it Is not known any such will be forth
coming. Inquiry and information from
prominent citizens of Socorro county
is to the effect that District Attorney
Wolford's services have been salts
factory and are considered by court
officials and the people. No charges
of any kind have been mentioned or
heard from Sierra County.

lature-Much Opposition to Its
Adoption.

Chicago, Sept. ia special elec-
ton was held here today for the pur-
pose of determining whether the new

Gil 1t also provides that by refer

New Mexico, he fully intended to re-
sign his position as sheriff Of ColfaA
County. When Mr.. Littrell made

with storm Of protests by his many
friends in Colfax county, and they
finally persuaded him to give up
the penitentiary job in preference to
retiring from the sheriff's Office.
Mr.. Littrell has extensive business
interests in Colfax county In addition
to his position as sheriff and after due
consideration he has decided to with
draw from the management of the
prison.

well. sheriff Of Chaves county, and al
SO to James X. Hunt, assistant cashier

THE BUREAU OF
IMMIGRATION
Governor Curry Thinks Should BE
Abolished and a Commissioner OF
immigration Appointed.

In discussing the affairs Of the
Bureau of immigration this forenoon
Governor Curry voiced the opinion
that the present law Is not as effective
as is needed at this time and as af-
fairs OF the territory demand. He be-
lieves the law should be repealed and
commissioner of immigration ap-
pointed, this official to be charged by
law with the performance Of the du-
ties of the Office of secretary Of the
bureau and those now incumbent up
on the members of the bureau, six In
number. A large enough salary should
be provided, he says so competent
man could take the Office and give it
his sole attention. There should be no
connection between that official and
a newspaper, this either In the way of
business or editorial What Governor
Curry's action in the status of the
present bureau of immigration will
be has not yet been determined, al
though 1t may be that the Office Of Sec
retary will be moved to this city, as 1t
is universally believed to be best and
proper that the office of the secretary
should be in the Capital. However,
there is nothing official in this and 1t
is simply rumor. 1t is fact that no
one, however outside Of ex-
Governor Hagerman's tools among
the membership of the bureau
and Secretary H. B. Hening,
who draws fat salary as
city editor Of the Albuquerque Morn
ing Journal and the fake reform ex-
governor himself, his nincompoop Of
attorney general, and small clique
of the designing politicians approved
of the removal Of the Office Of the Sec
retary Of the bureau to Albuquerque.

Caught in Severe Storm.
Returning from the main land Of
Alaska to the islands we were caught
in fierce storm in Behring Sea. The
steamship which had taken us to main
land did not return at the given time
and we chartered tramp coasting
schooner to take up back. We were
out at sea but a few hours when the
storm blew up and the vessel was
tossed about like cork. We finally
found a place of shelter in a protect
ed bay and were storm bound there
ten days and nights. We lived mean
time on fresh salmon and wild ducks.
The island where we landed was a
breeding ground for water fowl and
there were countless thousands of
them. We gathered quantity of beau
tiful eiderdown from the nests of the
elder ducks. Eiderdown is now very
scarce and Is selling in the market
at about $40 per pound.
upon our return to the Aleutian
islands another storm was blowing up
and as there is no harbor the vessel
was unable to lay ashore without
shelter We landed on one of the Is.
lands and were marooned there for
seventeen days before another vessel
passed within signalling distance. The
island was uninhabited. We had our
camping outfit and provisions so were
not without a place of shelter and did
not go hungry. Mrs. Reed kept the
camp supplied with fresh meat. She
shot four caribou herself. She is as
fond of outdoor life as | am and en-
joyed the trip so much she is anxious
to take another"
Mrs. Reed is almost as good shot
with the rifle as her husband and she
is a splendid horsewoman. During the
travels in northern Alaska they visit
ed an unexplored section in which
they came across large rivers and
lakes unmapped and heretofore un-
known. They were absent on the trip
about four months.
Mr.. Reed, who is president Of the
United States Bank and Trust Com
pany in this city; has been called to
LaHarpe, Illinois, by the serious i'll
ness of his mother. He and his wife
left last night for Denver, which was
formerly the home of Mrs. Reed.
