ANCIENT RUINS WITHIN
EASY WALKING DISTANCE

But few, even of the old settlers
of Santa Fe, are aware that there are
two interesting ruins of prehistoric
pueblos within easy walking distance
of Santa Fe. The fartherest is on
the Arroyo Hondo, five miles south
of Santa Fe, beautifully and romantic
ally situated on a high bluff overlook
ing a vast extent of country and in
part excavated and the other four
miles south of Santa Fe on the Santa
Fe River, just before reaching Aqua
Frta- This latter pueblo was a very
large one and the mound which covers
it can be traced along the river bank
for over a mile, from a beautiful
spring beneath some esttonxoods, TO
Auga Fria where it terminates in a
bluff partly carried away by the San
Ia Fe River and in part excayated.
At both places many pieces of pot
tery of the corrugated, the black and
white, the glazed, red and red and
black varieties can be found.
In fact, the pieces of pottery can
be found even as near to Santa Fe as

Mr.. Robinston's activity was in the
in the interest of Roosevelt's ca1di-

The report against Robinson has

Col. George w. Prichard, of White
Oaks, formerly attorney general un
der Otero, and removed by Governor
Hagerman, has been appointed attor
ney general by Acting Governor ]. w
Reynolds, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Capt. w. C
Reid, OF Roswell. The manner in
which the appointment was made
shows the spleen and bitterness oil
feeling on the part of Acting Cover
nor Reynolds and the members OF
the old gang who are again in the
saddle at Santa Fe.
Capt. Reid arranged with his as
sista1t, r. C. Gortler to attend to the
duties of his Office as attorney gener.
al when he came to Roswell Mr.
wrote to Acting Governor Reynolds
telling MIN that he would come to
Santa F'e at any time he was needed
ito fill the Office of attorney general
Then Mr.. Reid sent in his resignation
and the news was telegraphed from
here before the resignation arrived
in Santa Fe. When he heard" that
Reid had resigned, Reynolds decided
TO make a grand stand play" to de
light the grafters, and declared the
office abandoned" and appointed Pri-
chard.
When told of the step taken by Act
ing Governor Reynolds today, Mr.
Reid said: Eyes, have seen the man
ner in which the Nsw Mexican re
ports the abandonment and appoint
ment. It occasions no surprise. Such
things are to be expected from such
people. They are trying to take a
slap at me. That is all. l don't care
to enter into any explanation
Following is THE way the Santa Fe
New Mexican of Wednesday reports
the matter:
''At 10 O'Clock this forenoon Acting g
Governor J. W. Reynolds issued an
flee of Attorney General of New Mex
leo had been abandoned and made
vacant by the removal from the CAPT
tai of Attorney General w. C. Reid,
and appointing Colonel George w.
Prichard of this city to be attorney
general of the Territory.
"The order was Immediately filed
in the Office of the Secretary of the
Territory; thereupon Colonel Prich-
ard was duly Informed and filed his
oath of office, thus qualifying in ac-
cordance with law. He took charge
of the Office records and assumed the
duties of the office at once.
Much business has accumulated il
the Office since tae first of April and
there are many requests from Terri
torial officials for opinions as to
their duties and Interpretation. of re
cent laws.
"It is reported here that the resig-
nation of w. C. Reid as attorney gen
eral. was forwarded from Roswell last
night. If this is the case it ought to
reach mere Thursday night or Friday
morning However, in view of the
appointment of his successor, this is
immaterial.''

Meyer, president of the Western Fed

was sent to the peaitentiaGy with my

him myself, but he used to go with

folks speak of him. After Moyer got
out of the penitentiary he used to

slightly In favor OF the home team.

Reeves made a good record as
pitcher for Roswell. Although he
gave four passes on balls and two by
hitting batters. he allowed but four
hits and struck out five. Until the
eighth inning but one hit had been
made against him, and that one was
a high infeld fly that ne failed to

work is done before spring opens
Where growers have combined to keep
insects and parasites in check the re-
suit has been beneficial. II the labor

growers derive larger profits from rasp-

them deserve, as it Is only when pick

real labor is performed. After such
crops are harvested some fields receive
but little care and cultivation, and 1t IL

grassy rows of canes must compete for
