which the French bishops. with the

House did but little this morning. aid
is adjourned until tomorrow.
In the Council a bill was introduced
for the better taxation of sleeping
car companies.
Dalies introduced a bill to encour-
il went to committee.
A committee of seven was appoint
ed on Counties and County Lines. as
follows: Dalies, Murray, Martinez
Stockton, Duncan, Cameron and the
President of the Council. This Is the
committee to which will be referred
all matters connected with the crea-
tion of new counties and the chang
ing of boundaries.
There are several county division
schemes on, and several members of
the committee have schemes of their
own 1t is believed here that Cam
eron has the situation well in hand
so far as county division may affect
any of his counties, and that it will
be almost impossible to force any
thing over mis- head. He has shown
himself to be a splendid worker, and
although in the minority, is appar-
emily in control as to the proposed di-
vision of his counties. 1t is not be-
lieved that the advocates IF county
division can make any combination
to driye him from his position, and
that Artesia county is not to be this
session.
In the house Hudspeth and Mullens
will undoubtedly be able to control
the situation, and no attempt will be
made to override their wishes. This
has been brought about by effective
work
The Advocates of Artesia county
appear to be discouraged, but it is
reported that they are preparing for
another desperate attempt to secure
the division at this session of the
legislature and are now formulating
new plans
The house may be stampeded on
the county division question. but in
the opinion of your correspondent,
there is no hope for Artesia county
in the Cou7cil where Cameron is in
the saddle against it.

There are copper mines, zinc
mines, lead mines, and gold and sill

In Turkey, but they remain undevel-
oped because no one can get con-
cession from the government to work
them." continued Mr.. Magnifico. For
eign capital is afraid to enter Tur-
key. and the Industry of the country
and the population, believe, are de-
creasing yearly. But this cannot last
forever. The people, for centuries
under the yoke OF restraint, are be-
ginning to throw OF their burden and
are awaking to the possibilities of the
future
Ten years ago 80 per cent. OF the
people were ignorant of the utility of
public schools. and parents were con-
tent to allow their children to grow
up without education, as they had
done before them. Now schools are
srringing up everywhere, even In the
rural districts, and the people are be-
coming alive to their true interests.
They are taking an interest in poll
tics and governmental affairs, and
1t is not far step from education
and zeal In politics to active particle

ment.
