CHOIR TO SING
AT IRRIGATION CONGRESS

Sacramento. CAL, Aug. 23,-The
Ogden Tabernacle Choir will sing at
the Fifteenth National Irrigation Con-
gress. This announcement was made
today from the headquarters of the
Congress in this city after receipt of
a telegram from the manager of the
Choir conveying the information that
the preparations for moving the Choir
are complete This means that the
Fifteenth National Irrigation Congress
to be held in this city September 2-7
will be opened by the singing of the
Irrigation Ode by this splendid Choir
composed of zoo trained voices. the
greatest musical organization OF its
kind IN the United States.
The Tabernacle Choir is rarely
heard outside OF the Great Mormon
Tabernacles at Ogden and Salt Lake

sion of the enthusiasm of the people
of that State for the irrigation move
ment. This fact is emphasized by the
enormous expense entailed in trans
porting the choir, and its maintenance
in Sacramento during the Congress
week, from September 2nd to Septem-
Der 7th, inclusive. An expenditure
of $4,000 is involved.
The Irrigation Ode" composed ex-
pressly for the Congress, is described
by musical judges as a mastery work,
and its rendition by the big, superb
ly trained choir will be a truly inspir-
ing performance.
There is a special fitness in the par
ticipation of this famous musical or
ganization in the ceremonies of the
Irrigation celebration. Utah was the
scene of the first irrigation prac
tees adopted in this country under
modern conditions of civilization The
benefits of irrigation are thoroughly
appreciated by the people of that State
and the coming Congress. devoted to

entitled to rate which will give them
the benefit of their proximity to the
Walsenburg district, and that the rate
from this district ought not to ex
ceed $4.35 per ton on coal and $3.85
on slack to Roswell, and $4.75 and
$4.15 to Carlsbad"
Warning to the Santa Fe.
The commission, however, also
feels that the Santa Fe is entitled to
confine the movement of coal to this
valley to its own lines if it chooses
to make reasonable rates. According
ly no order is made in the matter, but
if the Santa Fe does not grant relief
the commission assures the people OF
the valley that it will consider the
advisability of ordering joint rate
on coal from the Walsenburg district
to the points in question.
In connection with the Pecos Val
ley case, the commission makes the
following significant statement regard
ing the freight rates to what are
known as the Texas common points
which were quoted by the roads in
justification of the valley rates:
I'VE do not, however, regard the
Texas common point rates under
which most of the tonnage into the
state of Texas moves low On the con
trary, they are distinctly high. They
are higher today than they were wneI
the act to regulate commerce took eff
feet, twenty years ago. and when the
tonnage of lines leading into Texas
was probably in most cases, if not il
all less than that of the lines serving
Roswell and the other complaining
towns today"

1t further was ordered that the rail
roads should cease collecting and
charging AT cents on flour and 45 cts.
ON wheat from Wichita to these points
and should make the rates AZ cents
and 40 cents, respectively; taat they
should reduce the tariff on lumber
from Beaumont, Texas, from 45 cents
to 80 cents; that they should cut the
figure on salt from Hutchinson, Kan,
from 35 cents to 30 cents; should pare
from "a cents to 80 cents the schedule
on alfalfa meal from said points to
Fort Worth, and should lower the rate
on apples from said points to Fort
Worth from so cents to As cents.
Coal Traffic Injustice.
The injustice of these rates was not
all from which the commission thought
the people of the Pecos Valley were
suffering 1t devoted considerable
thought TO the coal situation. Nearly
all of the valleys supply has come
from Canyon City, Colo, via the San
ia Fe to Hutchinson, and thence south
to the Pecos Valley lines, nearly 1000
miles. Formerly the valley got much
fuel from the McAlester mines over
the Rock Island lines, but this was
expensive. The Colorado & Southern
extends from the Walsenburg coal dis
trict IN Colorado to Amarillo, 295
miles. The Walsenburg fuel is said
to be better than the Canyon City pro-
duct, on which the freight was $3.50
per ton. now reduced to $4.55, with a
rate on slack of S4.30 a ton. No joint
rate has been made from Walsenburg
to the valley, so that the Santa Fe
may have a monopoly of the traffic

NOTICE no SCHOOL PATRONS

ALI children who nave not been vac
cinated will be compelled to be vac
cinated before they will be allowed to
enter school.
This is Territorial law; the Board
of Trustees and the Superintendent
nave no other course to follow but the
enforcement of this law
No child will be admitted Into the
schools unless it is seven years old
or will be seven some time before the
end of the first term This is a rule
made by your Board of Trustees and
is of some years standing. The crowd
ed condition of the schools has made
this rule necessity, which rule will
be strictly enforced.
The patrons are requested to see
that their children in the first eight
grades bring all of their old text
books to school on the first day in
order that they may be taken in ex-
change for their new books. Your
Board of Trustees and your Superin-
tendent did not make this change of
text books. Your last legislature pass
ed new text book law, making a
change of text books for the next four
years for the first eight grades of all
the schools of New Mexico. In this
law was clause stating that the
Board of Education of New Mexico
should select the books for all the
eight grades, and a very severe pen
atty is attached to this law for its vio-
latio1. 1t will be strictly enforced. All
those pupils who dropped out of their
grades before the close of school or
who failed on their term examinations
or who wish advanced standing will
be compelled to stand examinations
before they will be allowed to be ad-
vanced into those grades.

REVIVE TALK OF RAIL
ROAD FROM MCKINNEY.

Decatur, Tex, Aug. 23.-There now
seems a probability that the proposed
east line railroad from Mckinney to
Roswell, N. M, through Denton and
Decatur, will be built this fall. Mayor
Hayter is in correspondence with re-
liable railroad promoters, and letters
received by him yesterday state that
st. Louis capitalists and Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and Santa Fe officials
have agreed to resuscitate the old
proposition, which was to build from
Mckinney to New Mexico From the
letters it is Learned the plans are to
make Decatur a terminal point. Ano-
ther letter received by Charles d.
Gates from Col. l.. J. Polk, formerly
general manager of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, states the latter gentleman has
already submitted a proposition to the
Mckinney people to build the road,
and that he would confer with Decatur
in the near future.
Decatur is anxious for the road and
Mayor Hayter believes this town will
do its part toward securing it if the
promoters prove in earnest. He also
expresses confidence in Colonel Polk
and believes he will build the road.

sion of the commission that the Pecos
Valley has f1ourished despite the rail
roads instead of by reason of them.
For several years the residents of
the valley petitioned the railroads to
reduce many of their rates, but with
poor success At last they appealed to
the commission after that body had
received the power to fix maximum
rates.
The entire valley interests combin-
ed in making the appeal, the complain
ants before the commission being the
Roswell Commercial Club, Carlsbad
Commercial Club, Artesia Commercial
Club, the Merchants Association of
Hageran and the -Chaves County Wool
