LYING DISPATCHES
IN COYOTE JOURNAL
No Truth in Reports Concerning Gar
rett, Nusbaum or Baer-New
Clerk on Way Here.

More lies in the Albuquerque Morn,
ing Coyote journal Santa Fe dis
patches appeared in today's issue of
that sheet. For instance the Santa Fe
correspondent has 1t rumored that Ro.
bert G. Garrett. the present assistant
superintendent Of the prison would re-
sign today. Inquiry at headquarters
develops the fact that there Is not
even a semblance of the truth or the
least foundation for the report 1t Is
evidently the tigment of a diseased inn
agination, and Of venomous trouble
breeders.
The report in the yellow sheet that
Simon Nusbaum, clerk In the Office of
J. Fl. Vaughn. territorial treasurer, Is
candidate for the position of clerk
Of the district court here, belongs to
the same category So does the re-
port that William A. Baer, secretary
to Delegate w. H. Andrews, is can
ddate for the position.
As far as can be ascertained Judge
McFie has an outsider in view. While
the New Mexican cannot vouch for the
correctness of the report, 1t Is under
stood that the man in contemplation
BY Judge McFie is now en- route to
the Territory.

CAPTAIN CURRY
SEES PRESIDENT
Conference at Oys-
ter Bay Lasts Two
Hours
STARTS HOME TOMORROW
Governor Accompanied to
Sycamore Hill By Judge
B. S. Rodey.

Oyster Bay, July Ex-Governor
George Curry, who arrived in the Uni.
ted States few days ago from his
post as Governor OF the Island of Sa-
mar, Philippine Islands, to assume
the duties Of Governor of New Mexico,
consulted with President Roosevelt
two hours today. Governor Curry
said he was not familiar enough with
the problems he would have to face
in his new position to discuss them.
Federal Judge B. s. Rodey OF Porto
Rico formerly delegate to Congress
from New Mexico. arrived at Oyster
Bay with Governor Curry. Judge Re
dey called on Secretary Loeb q
the conference at Sycamore riiIf. RE
remarked that in his opinion the sitn-
alton in New Mexico was the morst
from the standpoint of discord, in
trigue and crookedness, that could be
found in any of the dependencies or,
Territories of the United States, and
President Roosevelt could not have
found better man than Curry to
straighten out the tangle,' he said.
Chief Justice Kent of Arizona, ar
rived at Oyster Bay for conference
with the President just as Curry was
leaving. The governor said he would
go direct to New Mexico.
Declares for Roosevelt and Taft.
On leaving Sycamore Hill, Cover
nor Curry said he had gone over the
New Mexico situation in general
way with the President. He will
spend one day in Washington and
then proceed to Santa Fe.
"You know" me remarked, Il have
always been a Democrat but am
Roosevelt man aud next to that
Taft man. The President wants me
to take hold of the administration In
New Mexico with but one object in
view that of clean government. There
will be some changes in officials OF
the Territory, but these cannot be
announced at present.
Free From All Alliances.
The appointments | shall make will
be solely with view to getting good
officials. Wherever l can get such
officials from the Republican party /
shall take them, but shall not be con-
fined to that party in making any APP
pointments. The political factional
wrangle in the Territory mas grown to
be very acute, and the President has
honored me with the appointment as
Governor, a place was not at all
anxious to take, evidently because |
had been out of the Territory for the
past eight years and am entirely free
from all SUCH alliances"
Judge Rodey Guest at Luncheon.
On learing of Judge Rodey's pres.
ence at Oyster Bay, President Roose-
welt summoned him to luncheon and

Steel Corporation Provides for Future

Timber Needs.
One of the largest pine timber
deals in Northern Minnesota for a
long time past is said to have been
closed 4within the past few days.
The transaction is reported to in
volve the transfer from William
O'Brien, to the Oliver Iron Mining
company, of large tract of stand
ing pine along the east side of the
Cloquet river, above the railroad
bridge in township $40 and SSH.
Although the amount of timber
involved is not stated, it is under
stood that the pine was sold for
about$1o per 1000 feet, on the stump,
and the total consideration was in
the neighborhood of 100000.
The transaction is of much in
terest for several reasons. In the
first place it is understood that
William O'Brien secured the land
by means of scrip few years ago
the timber costing him in the neigh.
borhood of only Is cents per 1000
feet. Previous to his acquiring the
lands, it is said that various timber
men sent estimators over the same
ground, but their reports did not
show very much timber.
The Oliver Iron Mining company
owns some pine lands either id.
joining, or located not far distant
from the O'Brien tract, and it is
understood that the corporation de:
sires the last named tract to in
crease it's holdings of pine. The
mining companies consume an.
nually several million feet of
dimension stuff in their operations
and OF late years the large com.
Panies have been providing fol-
their future supply of lumber. The
steadily Increasing prices of timber
and of lumber have demonstrated
the wisdom Of securing a supply
for future operations. - II
The timber that is reported sold
comprises only portion OF: Mr.
'O'Brien's holdings in pine timber
lands. He aud his associates are
interested in some immense tracts
of pine along the line of the Du.
