1t is beyond the ken of mortal man

of the southwestern portion of the
United States within the next two
decades. The young lei of the south

approaching age. Not that these men
are not the equal of any in foresight
and commercial ability, but because

lied the wealth of mine and farm that
this section holds for the intelligent
investor and developer.
Tne farm lands alone of the south
west offer inducements that are most
alluring. Within the valleys of Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona, are found
some of the richest lands il the
world. This has reference to the semi
arid section, now coming under irri-
cation.
Twenty-Five years ago the rich
black lands in north central Texas
adjacent to Dallas, were selling from
five to twenty dollars per acre, the
higher price being for improved lands.
Today there are no unimproved lands
in that section, and n hundred dol
lars per acre is almost the ruling
price. This for land that cannot, IN

Santa Fe, N. NJ, July 9.-The fol

today, which explain themselves:

Sir: This office is in receipt of a
communication from the honorable

the proceeds derived from sales and

steady progress OF the past. Prof.
Brasher is a comparatively young
man, a native of Texas, and as ener-
getic and determined as Elder Hill
of the Christian church who perform
ed the ceremony of his marriage to
a Missouri girl some seven years ago.
Mr.. Brasher has cen teaching for
Is years, having beer superintendent
of the Institute for the Blind at Aus
tin for ten years. At the time of his
appointment by Governor Lanham to
that position, he was superintendent
of schools at Riley Springs, and be-
fore that had charge OF the schools
at Ridgeway, Texas.
In his preparation for school work
Prof. Brasher completed the course in
the Sam Houston State Normal, took
a course in the Texas Christian Uni
versity, and graduated from the State
University besides doing post gradu-
ate work. He is a thorough believer
in University training for teachers
as well as for other professional and
business men. AS vacancies may oc-
cur in the Roswell schools he will
endeavor to fill them with Universe
ty men so far as possible. He also be
lieves in SO organizing even the pub
lie schools hat the classification of
teachers will be by the special sub
jects taught. He will create three
courses in the high school, to be
elective, classical scientific and gen
eral, according to the plans each pu-
pill may have for his future career.
Specialists eventually will be employ
ed in each course-teaching fewer
subjects, but more thoroughly. Prof.
Brasher is also an advocate of the
industrial department for public
schools.
He comes here with the idea of re-
naming permanently, provided the
people back him up, n that he can
convince them of the Importance and
possibilities of making the Roswell
public schools the best in the South
west. In the New Mexico Military
Institute Roswell already possesses
the rest managed n most efficient
educational institution in the Terri
tory, n if Prof. Brasher's plans are
carried out it is hoped that one day
the public schools of the city may
stand in the same class with the Mil
itary Institute as the very best in
the Territory.

to Secretary Easley, of the penitenti-
airy board, was filed with that board
yesterday together with the reply of
the secretary thereto, and a lengthy
statement in which he sets forth in
detail the net receipts and disburse-
ments of p~enitentiary funds received
from the sale and leasing of peniten-
1892.
The income fund and the perma-
nent improvement fund derived from
the sale and leasing of penitentiary
landsS are supposed to be special
funds n reserved for the purposes
indicated, and not to be used for gen.
eral maintenance. The statement of
Secretary Easley, however, shows that
under the Bursum administration of
the p%enitentiary practically all of the
funds which should nave cen credited
to the income fund and held in that
fund were disbursed in the payment
of current expenses, and that all but
forty-five cents of the permanent i'm
provement fund received during the
Bursum regime, went for maintenance
and current charges.
The statement shows that the net
receipts of the income fund have been
S2,372.71 of which there had been ex-
pended up to December 1, 1906, 81
1927, leaving a balance in the fund
of $1SS.44, of which balance stands on
Jun 1, 1907.
The net receipts of the permanent
improvement fund have been $780,
AZ, of which there were expended UP
to February %, 1907, the sum of $685.
of forty-1ve cents which balance
stands on June 1, 1907.
OF the funds disbursed under the
Bursum management from the income
fund appear such items as brandy rub
Der boots, hack hire, clocks, collins,
hardware, harness and herpicide one
quart of which seems to have been
purchased for the use of the peniten-
tiary scalp on April 20, 1905.
The disbursement from the per
manent improvement fund under the
Bursum regime include such chrages
as horse shoes, repairs to buggies,
mules, rem of teams, railroad fare
horses, etc.
The sudden desire for information
as to the disposition of the institution
al lands and the disposition of the
funds received from those lands, has
to increase interest here in the
pending investigation into the terrific
rial and transactions, the scope of
which seems to be growing wider all
the time.
1t is interesting to note from the
statement of Secretary Easley that of
46,672.32 acres of lands which have
been selected for the penitentiary. for
its enlargement and maintenance q,
1862 acres have been leased and
8 ,309.1S acres have beer sold.
