New Mexican Statehood.

Washington.-Governor Curry and
Major Llewellyn Of New Mexico, were
at the White House Saturday. 1t is
known that Major Llewellyn is max.
ing the fight of his life to hold his
position as United States district at.
torney of New Mexico, having had a
clash with the special agents of the
departments of justice and the interior
who have been investigating New
Mexico's alleged land frauds.
In an interview Saturday Governor
Curry said that in addition to looking
after the matters Of especial interest
Of federal officials in New Mexico, he
was here to do what he could for
statehood for New Mexico.
New Mexico, he said, would well
come census to determine its fitness
for admission, and if Congress thinks
a census should be held before the
territory is admitted to statehood,
there will be no opposition to such
legislation from New Mexico.
AS to presidential politics, Governor
Curry said:
well, New Mexico is for another
term for President Roosevelt. This
does not take into consideration what
he Rough Riders want I refer to
what the people want. They are for
The President. and every delegate
elected will be for him. If can have
anything to do with it, not a single
man holding federal office shall be a
delegate to the national convention.
Let the people send their own dele
gates, without official interference"

Las Animas County's Growth.

Notwithstanding to an abstract
OF the assessment of Las Animas
county for 1907, just issued by AS.
SCISSOR s. H. Stevens. the wealth OF
the county has increased more than
$l,500,000 during the last year The
statement shows total net assess.
ment Of $13,259,955 as compared with
$l2,5S7 1872 Of last year. This is taken
on the basis of fifty per cent valua-
ton, and shows remarkable increase.
The increase is due largely to the in
creased acreage of coal lands. The
acreage last year was GS,45S, and this
year is given as 12S.510 The land last
year was valued at $19 per acre, while
this year shows a valuation of approx
imately $15. This is largely due to
the fact that new tracts have been
opened for mining purposes that have
not yet been developed to full ca
pacity.

short-Time Certificates.

New York.-Satsfaction is general
In money circles because of the gov,
ernment's plan of relief to the market
by the issue of $50,000.000 in Panama
bonds and $1O0.000,OOO in one-year
treasury certificates. The issue Af
short-time certificates was more of a
novelty and as such attracted more
discussion. The general opinion was
that both measures would tend to draw
idle money from private boards and
thereby break the premium on cur.
rency and restore normal conditions in
the money market.
From other financial centers
throughout the country come expires,
sions Of hearty approval of the Presi.
dents action and Of perfect confidence
in the early restoration of the boarded
cash to the channels of commerce.

eign exchanges responded to the i'm.

PRESIDENT CONGRATULATED
On the Success Of the Governments
Financial Measures,

Observation-Disclosures Roosevelt
has been commended and congratu-
lated throughout the day on the wis.
dom and success of the financial re-
lief measures launched Sunday by the
administration. Many kilograms from
all parts Of the country, including New
York, Chicago and other large cities,
have been arriving all day at the
White House, and after being read by
the President have been referred to
Secretary Cortelyou at the treasury
department. The callers at the White
House. who have been numerous, have
each added an opinion on the optimis-
tic side of the situation.
The President was informed from
Buffalo that his letter expressing con-
fidence in the fiscal soundness of the
country had been printed in several
languages in Buffalo, and distributed
among depositors who were making a
run on bank there, with the effect
of checking the run.
Before the business day of the
treasury had ended many applications
arrived for the new certificates of in
debtedness. The fiscal uses to which
these certificates may be put will make
the demand for them very general, ac-
cording to the opinion of experts in
the department. They may be regis
tered in the treasury and partake of
the nature of a government bond, and
as such be deposited as security for
national bank circulation or deposits.
When not registered it is predicted
they will circulate freely as currency.
The interest on $50 certificate will
amount to 12h cents a month, and a
holder may easily obtain credit for the
amount of interest he is entitled to
at his bank. Assurance was given
that the gold reserve of the govern
ment was behind these certificates,
and this fact, addd to their interest
bearing feature, will make them Gag
erly sought.
The hint contained in the Prcsi-
dents letter that financial relief leg
islation was assured, resulted in many
inquiries during the day to develop
the exact situation. 1t is admitted the
President has consulted freely with
the leaders of both houses of Con
gress, by mail and in person, but Just
what is the present status of the leg
islative plans is withheld One point
OF unanfmity is certain. Every sena-
tor and member of the House of Rep.
resentatves who has called at the
White House during the financial dis.
tress has been free to say that tinan-
cial legislation would be the first bust.
ness of the next session of Congress
Beyond this point the unanimity has
ceased, and many men have proposed
plans.
| The President has been heartily
seconded by every comment in his
statement of the soundness of the
country's finances. and that the van.
ishing point Of the financial furry has
arrived

DENVER TO BE A SEAPORT.
Prediction Of Director Of Bureau Of
American Republics.

Denver.-Seventy members of the
chamber Of commerce and their guests
enjoyed a luncheon at the Brown
Palace hotel Saturday noon as well as
an excellent address by Hon. John
Barrett, director of the International
Bureau of American Republics. Mr..
Barrett is one of the highest officials
in the diplomatic field and his recep-
tion at the Brown was no less en-
thusiastic than that accorded him Fri
day night when he lectured at the
First Baptist church. His subject Sat
urday was "Colorado's Interest in For
eign Trade" He said:
"Coiorado's full material develop
ment can only come by her taking a
direct interest in everything that per-
tains to the advancement of the for
eign commerce of the United States.
The more the markets which buy of
Colorado can sell to foreign parts. the
more they will purchase of Colorado.
The Panama canal will fall in its use
fulness unless the United States be-
gins at once to improve its interior
waterways SO that every part of the
country can get it's share of the ad-
NdutaPeS OI tne Canal ana OF tne vast
new trade of the Pacific that will be
opened up by Its completion. The time
is coming In the material development
Of the United States when it will be
possible to load barges of light draft
at wharves in Denver and carry un-
broken cargOes to New Orleans or
some other seaport. or take the pro
ducts of your state for the home con-
sumption of the United States to the
great markets of ST. Louis and Chi
cago.
Il mean that the day is coming
when a great inland canal or chain of
canals will connect Denver with the
Mississippi river and it is my sincere
prediction that Denver will yet be a
seaport of the Gulf Of Mexico. Colo,
RADIO should lead in a movement OF
the Western states for united action
at Washington in securing such legis.
lation as the Mississippi section
requires. The only way for the West
to Offset the special advantage the
East possesses from more states,
/ greater population and hence more
| representatives, is for the West to
present a united front in it's de,
| mands."

Bombmaker Is Lucky,

Denver-After celebrating three
hours, the Jury in the case of Kemp V.
Biglow, the boy bombmaker, charged
with attempting the life of David H.
Moffat, millionaire banker, returned a
verdict that the lad was guilty of sim
pie assault. which means that II max
imum sentence be imposed the young
man will have to serve only six months
in the county jail.
Biglow, according to his own confess
sion, which is not denied by the de-
fense, sent bombs to Gov. Henry A.
Buchtel, David H. Moffat, Lawrence c.
Phipps and Charles b. Kountze, the
three latter men Of millions.
It Is true that Biglo*, who is but
twenty-one years old and who looks
only sixteen, can still be prosecuted on
the Buchtel, Phipps and Kountze
charges, but after the outcome of the
Moffat trial it is hardly probable, it is
said, that the other cases will be
pushed.
After he serves his sentence the fed
eral authorities will try him on the
charge Of sending letter to the Ad.
ans Express Company with the idea of
defrauding that and other concerns.
The maximum penalty for this offense
is eighteen months in the penitentiary
and therefore it is not possible that
Kemp V. Biglow will ever serve more
than two years for his bomb making
and sending threats, the confession Of
which startled the world.
It Is claimed by some that Biglow
had knowledge Of the Colorado and fed.
eral laws when he attempted his extor.
tions. He is the son of a school super.
intendent and was in school from early
boyhoOd.

The FOOD TRUST
ATTORNEY GENERAL DICKSON
FILES COMPLAINT IN Dis
TRIcT COURT.
SEEKS An INJUNCTION
CHARGES ILLEGAL CONSPIRACY
TO FIX PRICE OF FOOD.
sTUFFs IN COLORADO.

Denver. - Injunctive proceedings
were begun by the attorney general
Thursday against the several associa-
tions and companies that are popu-
larly believed to be parties to a com
bine in foodstuffs throughout the
state, known as the grocery trust, and
complaint was filed in the District
Court asking for an injunction re-
straining the combine from continu-
ing as such. The complaint is stronger
In its relations than the one filed last
week against the coal trust of Colo
kIado from the same Office. The evi-
ZAence contained in the complaint is
direct. 1t brings to light documentary
evidence that points to secret rela-
tions among grocers and companies
regarding price lists and charges and
blacklists.
The coal combine is going to show
fight in the suit instituted to put it
out OF business as was made evident
Thursday when Secretary Craig OF
the Rocky Mountain Coal Mems Asso-
citation and Secretary Reichard of the
Denver Coal Association, who had
been summoned to appear before a
commissioner and make deposition
regarding the work of their respec-
tive associations, refused to appear.
Their attorneys held that the attorney
general had no authority to require
them to testify. But the attorney gen
eral will appear in the District Court,
where the original suit was filed, and
ask an order requiring the two Of
ficials to appear and testify before the
commissioner.
The defendants in the injunctive
suit against the grocery pact, are:
The ]. S. Brown & Brothers Mer-
camille Company, the Nave-McCord
Mercantile Company, the Struby-Esta-
brook Mercantile Company, the C. r.

The complaint is one Of great
length and it charges that by reason
Of contracts. conspiracies and agree
ments the defendants fix arbitrarily
the price of all foodstuffs sold in Colo
RADIO and control the food supply of
the state.
All the schemes known to COM
bines Of this nature are charged
against the grocery trust, including
the blacklisting OF those merchants
who do not live up to the agreements
fixed by the heads Of the combines.
This combine is a close corporation.
There are some sixty-six locals" con-
nected with the parent retail organi-

The Colorado Museum.

Denver-An effort is being made by
the management OF the Colorado Mu-
scum Of Natural History in this city
to enlist the interest OF people through
out the state in adding to its collection
of wild animals of all varieties, for
mounting and displaying. which ample
provisions exist in the fine museum
building in City Park.
The work shown there this fall con-
vinces every scholar that a new at
tractiveness is in store for the
stuffed" animal. The display of
groups of animals in various natural
attitudes. in the midst of their native
surroundings Of rock and vegetation,
within air tight cases of plate glass
and mahogany opens up new possibili-
ties without end for the modern mus
cum. The specimens will last for ages
to show future generations what man.
ner Of beasts dwelt in these noun
tains and on our plains.
The museum will be glad to receive
good specimens in the flesh of all our
animals, which will be well mounted
and the donors names displayed.
Where desired it will pay the car
riage charges. 1t prefers them just
as killed, that the taxidermist may
study their bodies and so get the best
results.
The management is engaged this
winter in completing the interior Of
the building, and expects to have
ample room for everything in the
spring. The museum is the property
of the people, and looks to them for
material and support. If there is any
one who would like to help on the work
with funds to pay for the case and
mounting of any particular group, it
will be glad to be so informed. Such
a case would bear the donors name
