The L'Anse sentinel., 1907-10-19

For "a hours after the start of the
race, at 3.30 on the afternoon of Oc-
tober II, those sailing on the lakes
are requested to keep a sharp watch
In all directions, especially at night.
The prevailing winds at St. Louis at
this time OF the year is from the
southeast, and that will carry the
balloons toward the lakes.
Lakes Michigan and Superior are
especially feared, as they will prob.
ably be more directly in the track Of
the racers than the lakes further
east. Should a balloon sail out over
one OF these bodies OF water with
sand ballast exhausted. and without
wind enough to carry it to the other
side, the aeronaut would be almost
certain OF drowning unless he was
seen and rescued by some craft.

Editorially this Is what copper
country paper thinks Of Baraga, and
we guess they hit it right. "Baraga
is far from dead. That's certain.
1t is cheerful too, to realize that the
Nesters are backing their faith in
the sawmill business and the town oi
Baraga by rushing the preliminary
work for their new mill. Barags
has had her ups and downs aud has
been counted out good many times
but she always comes up smiling and

RIGHT OF WAY
CASE ARGUMENT
Heard Today in Second Judicial Dis.
trict Court-Arizona and Colorado
VS.. Denver g. Rio Grande.

AT Albuquerque today before Judge
Ira A. Abbott of the Second Judicial
District Court arguments were sched
uled to be heard in the right OF way
case of the Arizona and Colorado Rail
road VS.. the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad. Testimony in this suit was
taken before Edward C. Burke Of this
city as referee and examiner. The
written evidence introduced covers
over a thousand typewriter pages
which have been bound in book form
for the convenience of the court and
a large number Of maps, blue prints
and other exhibits,
The outcome of the case is being
watched with interest and especially
in railroad circles. Primarily on the
face all that Is involved is the dis
puted route In the northern part of
the Territory which now forms the
Pennington branch of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad, The Arizona
and Colorado officials contend that
they had the route surveyed first and
that the other railroad deliberately
built the present track over their sur
yey
The Arizona and Colorado Railroad
is virtually part OF the Southern Pa
cific system and it was proposed to
have the line built so as to afford a
final connection at Denver. II Is al
legged that owing to the topography Of
the country parallel tracks could not
be laid in certain places unless con-
siderable blasting was done,
The Southern Pacific interests re-
Gently obtained large tracts OF coal
land at points near the route and 1t
is said that these are worth well up
into the millions of dollars. If the
suit Is decided in favor Of the defend
ant these coal lands will be of little
value to the other railroad.

40 SUITS AGAINST
CORPORATIONS
For Failure to Comply With Statutes
Of New Mexico Filed in Dis
trict Court.

Forty-nlne suits against corporations
organized under the laws of New
Mexico which have failed to comply
with the statute in reference to the
making Of annual reports to the Ter
ritorial Secretary have been filed In
the First judicial District Court for
Santa Fe County. A large number OF
others will be filed later. 1t is under,
stood that there are over five hundred
corporations, foreign as well as do.
mestic that have neglected to send in
their annual reports as required by
law, District Attorney r. C. Gortner
who is also assistant attorney general
of New Mexico, has taken the matter
in hand and will push the prosecu-
ton vigorously unless the delayed an.
nual reports are forthcoming prompt
ly.
Under the laws of 1905 it is re-
quired that all corporations admitted
to do business under the laws of New
Mexico shall file report annually
stating the names of their officers,
directors and agents upon whom pro-
cess may be served, capital outstand-
ing, etc." he said, Yesterday, when
asked about the suits by reporter
of the New Mexican. "All of this Is
important to the public and furnishes
an accurate basis upon which the cor
porationS may be held liable on their
contracts or torts. The various states
have similar provisions. The law
requires that these actions shall be
filed. and ] am actively at work car
rying out the provisions of the stat
ute"
Close to five thousand corporations
have been organized In New Mexico.
OF these only about one thousand are
now in existence and Of the live ones
nearly half have failed to make their
annual reports.

DECEMBER IN
CAPITAL CITY
DID Mct nfes'f, Any Records for Per
centage Of Sunshine But Was a
Contrast to Other Places.

While the month just past, Decem-
ber, did MT come up to the 9S per
cent of sunshine that some Santa Fe
Decembers have to their credit, yet,
it did not do near as badly as did De-
cember at Philadelphia, for instance.
AT the Quaker City. the sunshine per-
centage was only 4S, and the Quaker
City people thought they had sun
shiny December. At Santa Fe. the
percentage of sunshine reached 72
and there were only five days without
sunshine, three of them having been
the first three days of the month, a
sort of leftover of the November
storm that broke al previous Novem-
Der records. On the other hand,
there were eleven December days
with 100 per cent of sunshine and out
side of the five sunshineless days
there was not one day on which the
percentage of sunshine did not exceed
55 per cent. The month was very
much warmer than the average De-
cember for it averaged 35 degrees,
while the thirty-three Decembers pre-
ceding It averaged below the freezing
point, or 312 degrees. On not sim
gle,day was the minimum temperature
below II degrees, and the average
minimum was 25.4 degrees, while the
average maximum was 44.7 degrees,
the maximum on December II reach
ing Sc degrees in the shade, while in
the sun 1t ran 30 degrees higher. The
greatest daily range in temperature
was only 20 degrees very small for a
winter month, while the least daily
range was only degrees on Decem-
Der 5. The precipitation while over
an inch more than the average.
amounted to only LIS inches and the
snowfall during the month only to
half an inch. There was deficiency
in temperature during the year 1906
of 219 degrees and an excess of pre-
cipitation of ISL inches over the aver
age. The total wind movement of De-
cember was merely SASS miles, an
average of IA miles an hour, the pre-
vailing direction being from the north
east. Thf maximum velocity did not
reach S5 miles an hour, having been
"a miles an hour December 5. The
mean relative humidity was 6S per
cent, rather high for Santa Fe but
lower than the monthly humidity at
any time of the year in eastern towns.

RUSH is ON TO
ESTANCIA VALLEY
Homeseekers With Household Goods
and Farming Implements Coming
to New Farming District.

During the next few months we ex-
pect to handle over 100 cars of i'm
migrant outfits and hundreds Of
homeseekers,"
This statement was made today by
an official of the Santa Fe Central
Railway as he told of the arrival of
twenty-five homeseekers and six car
loads of household goods and farming
implements at Torrance today.
En- route to their new homes from
points in Missouri and Kansas the
newcomers had hard trip. They
were aboard Rock Island train No,
29 which met i'll a disastrous iIead-on
collision yesterday on the Rock ISL
and near Volland Kansas. At least
they reached Torrance aboard train
No. 80. They quickly transferred to
a Santa Fe Central train in waiting
for them at 10 o'clock this morning
Nearly all of them We're destined fol
Moriarty, where they have secured
suitable lands.
A number, however, with carload
of supplies left the train at Estancia,
having resolved to secure homesteads
in that vicinity.
The Kansas and Missouri farmers
were delighted to see mantle of
white as far as the eye could reach
and predicted that the Estancia Val
ley would eventually prove western
Kansas wheat section" with a bounti-
full supply of winter moisture
Nearly all of the homeseekers in
the party that arrived today are well
supplied with money They will build
comfortable homes and set about i'm
proving their farms at once. A num-
ber of them had horses and farming
implements so that with the first
breath of spring, they can begin the
turning of the virgin soil preparatory
to planting crops,
I'VE are well prepared to take care
of all who may come said General
Manager S. B. Grimshaw of the Santa
Fe Central today "All they have to
do is to notify us when they will ar
rive and we will have engines and
cars ready to transport them to any
location in the Estancia Valley
reached by our line. The year 1907
will be the banner year for the ar
rival of homeseekers"

ILOBATO WAS
SHOT TWICE
Undertaken Found Two Bullet Holes
Morris to Be Arraigned on
Two Charges.

Funeral services will be held al
Lamy tomorrow over the remains OF
Catalina LObato, who was shot and
killed by John NJ. Morris, the express
messenger now in Jail in Santa Fe
When Undertaken M. j. Heberer OF
the Wagner Furniture Company OF
this city examined the body last night
he found that the victim had been
shot twice, although the wound over
the heart had been the one that re-
suited fatally.
The bullet that pierced the heart
and caused death ploughed through
the fleshy part of the left arm before
it entered the body. 1t found lodgment
inside and was not recovered. Another
bullet struck the left side Of the face
on line with the mouth and passed
out back of the left ear. Morris is
said to have fired four times but the
other two bullets did not take effect.
Two warrants have been sworn out
against Norrs. One charges him
with the murder of Catalina Lobato,
and the other with an assault with a
deadly weapon on Ramon Lobato. Ra-
mon Lobato was a brother of the de-
ceased and is said to have been the
indirect couse of the shooting affray.
Morris entered a plea of not guilty to
both charges when arraigned this
morning before Justice of the Peace
Jose Ma. Garcia. Morris was remand
ed to Jail without bond and the pre-
liminary hearing set for next Satur-
day. Justice of the Peace Garcia stat
I'd this morning that the preliminary
hearing would probably come up be-
fore Judge John R. McFie.
Sheriff Charles G. Closson returned
on the noon train today from Lamy
whittier he went this morning to sub
poenae witnesses for the preliminary
hearing Saturday Joseph V. Barras,
the telegraph operator at Lamy, who
was barricaded in the room with Nor
ris, is expected to be an important wit
ness. Barras did not take any part
in the affair other than try to save
the slayer from the mob, and re-
NAMED in the room until the arrival
of the sheriff.
A special dispatch received by the
New Mexican today from l4amy stat
ed that early last evening a crowd OF
friends of the dead man gathered for
purpose of going on still hunt for
Operator Barras but were persuaded
to dsperse before any further mis-
chief was done.
Mr. Heberer returned on the noon
train today with Sheriff Closson and
he said that all was quiet last night
at Iamy. He stated that ne was at
the station until late at night and all
wss peaceable there.
Morris is probably not more than
thirty years of age His home is at
La Junta, Colorado. He is at pres
ent the only prisoner in the new jail.

M'Donald Says.
In HIS BIENNIAL ADDRESS
To Colorado Legislature
Should Sustain Mark of
President Roosevelt.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 3.-Governor
Mcdonald read his bienniG' address
to the legislature afternoon
Touching on the proposed mining
fraud legislation he said care should
be taken to distinguish between legi
innate and illegitimate mining propo-
sitions lest ilTeparable damage be
done to one of the states most profit
able and legitimate resources. Re-
ferring to revelations last year in re-
gard TO the management Of insurance
companies he was not inclined to view
the situation with alarm, believing
there was middle course to pursue,
which would fully protect those In.
sured as well as the companies.
Recommended Department Of insur
ance.
He recommended the creation OF a
department of insurance separate from
the state auditors office.
Our president" the Governor said,
"has already done much in behalf of
anti-trust legislation and we should
sustain him in his work. Jublic sen
timent is in favor of such enactment"
He advised the legislators to care
fully consider the Ohio antitrust law
which, he said. had stood the test of
judicial determination. He recon-
mended the enactment of a banking
law along the lines of the national law
and the appointment of bank exam
iner The Governor advised the leg
islature to make provision by bond
issues TO meet the outstanding GER
tificates of 1887, 1888 and 1889,
amounting now with accrued interest
to over two million dollars, and the
Indebtedness incurred in putting down
the instructions of 1904 "
Advocated Care in Using State Funds
The Governor said the states
finances were in good condition, and
while urging increased appropria.
tions for the various institutions, he
advised the members to use care In
disbursing the states funds.
