NO DEFINITE DECISION
AS TO DEPOT SITE.

J. M. Kern, division superintendent
of the New Mexico division of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail
way system, with headquarters in Las
Vegas, was in the city yesterday on
matters connected with the location
of the proposed new depot to be erect
ed by that road in this city
Mr. Kern and a force of engineers
looked over the ground, especially
that opposite the capitol on the west
side, between Montezuma avenue and
Cerrillos road. The engineers took
measurements and made blue prints
which were forwarded to H. w. Sharp,
general superintendent of the system.
Mr.. Kern was called to Las Vegas
last evening. He had intended re-
naming longer but will return at a.
later date. Meanwhile Mr.. Sharp will
look over the matter and render de-
cision in regard to the site.
1t is understood that Mr.. Sharp,
as well as other officials, are desirous
of locating the depot as far up town
as possible.

AUDITOR SAFFORD'S
IMPORTANT TRIP
Inspects County Funds and Official Ac
counts in Eastern Section Of
Territory.

Travelling Auditor Charles V. SAT-
ford, who is one of the most thorough
going and efficient officials of the ter
ritory, returned yesterday from an Of
fetal trip through eastern New Mex
leo during which he visited the county
seats of Otero, Lincoln, Guadalupe,
Quay and Union counties and made a
careful inspection of the funds, books
and accounts of their treasurers and
ex-ofIicio collectors and also of the
assessors. He found them all in good
shape and all public funds in the pos
session of these officials properly de-
posted in banks or accounted for.
The Ell Paso and southwestern rail
road and the Chicago, Rock Island and
New Mexico railroads are now paying
taxes in the counties of Otero, Lincoln
and Guadalupe, which will materially
help the counties named and enable
the county commissioners there to re-
duce the tax levy on other property.
In the counties named there is not
much immigration at present as far
as he could notice. Livestock and
ranges are, however, in very good con-
dition and many cattle and sheep have
been disposed of during the fall and
are being shipped now to eastern feed
erS and packers.
The price of wool has also gone up
and as there are many sheep owners
in the counties named a much better
feeling exists among them and busi-
ness generally is improving. The peo-
pie generally, except the hard shell
Democrats, are greatly pleased with
the election of Judge Taft as Presi-
dent and Delegate Andrews as dele
gate. The great majority of the vot-
ers are very desirous that New Mexico
should be admitted as state at the
present session.

ALBUQUERGUE BOYS
HELD FOR BURGLARY

Albuquerque, N. M, Dec. 9.-John
Sawtelle and Lynn Gray, aged 16 and
II years respectively, were yesterday
afternoon bound over to await the ac-
tion of the grand Jury in the sum OF
two hundred and fifty dollars by Pol
ice Judge George r. Craig. The boys
pleaded guilty to charge of grand
larceny which was sworn out by ]. A.
Skinner, whose store the boys burg
larized early Monday morning. In ad-
dition to the Skinner robbery, the lads
admit that they stole various articles
from Raabe and Mauger's hardware
store; Leon Mandell's place; the Al
buquerque Carriage company and ].
Korber and company. Both lads have
given the police much trouble and
their appearance in court yesterday
was not the first one.

NEW SENATOR'S
INTEND TO TALK
Tme-Worn Rule That They Must Be
Seen, Not Heard, in Danger Of
Being Knocked Out.

Washington. Dec 9.-That time
worn rule of the United State
Senate to the effect that a new Sen
! ator must be content to be seen and
not heard is in great danger of being
put entirely out of business.
The rule in question has been re.
ceiving some hard jolts in recent
years. Senator La Toilette is the man
who has subjected it to the severest
test. He started in to stir things up
when he first came to the Senate, and
has had more or less success.
Despite many rebuffs. things have
reached point that when La Toilette
talks most of his colleagues set up
and take notice instead of retiring to
the cloakrooms. The persistent efforts
Of the Wisconsin Senator to force rec.
ognition from the elder statesmen have
encouraged others of the newer mem.
bers to activity.
Now, Elihu Root is coming to the
Senate, and so are other able new
men. who are well versed in govern
mental affairs and qualified to take a
prominent part in things. For instance
there are Joseph H. Bristow, of Kan.
sas; Cummins, of Iowa; Jones, of
Washington, and Crawford, of South
Dakota. 1t will not be an easy mat.
ter to keep these men down. John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, will
soon leave the house and go to the
Senate.
1t is hardly to be expected that Mr..
Williams, with his wealth of knowl.
edge about legislation, will sit silent
while men whose togas are older but
have no other claim to be allowed to
talk, join freely in debate.
1t may be expected, on the whole,
that in view of the quality of the new
timber that is being added to the Sen.
ate, the old rule will be allowed to
lapse, at least partially.

G. A. r. VETERANS
WORKING HARD
Want Glorieta Battlefield Converted
Into National Park and Muster
Rolls Compiled.

| At the annual territorial encamp
ment of the Grand Army of the Re
public held at Las Vegas in the spring
of 1907, several matters of Importance
and interest to citizens in general as
well as to members of the G.. A. r. and
other veterans of the civil and other
wars, were considered. Among other
things it was decided to ask Congress
to set aside one square mile of the
battlefield of Glorieta, or Pigeons S
ranch, in New Mexico, for a national
park, or reservation, and to erect
thereon monument to the valor of
those who fell in that action, and to
commemorate the part New Mexico
took in the civil war. A bill to carry
out this has been introduced in the
National House of Representatives at
Washington, by Delegate w. H. An.
drews and is now pending.
Another matter decided upon was to
ask the territorial legislature to au-
thorize and provide for the compila-
ton and publication Of the muster
rolls of all the New Mexico volunteers
who served in any of the wars from
1S47 to 1898, including all the Indian
wars.
To carry out these resolutions com.
mittee of comrades of the G.. A. r..
was appointed. composed of Jefferson
Reynolds, of the Las Vegas post, E.
S. Stover, of the Albuquerque post,
and Smith H. Simpson, of the Santa
Fe post.
This committee is now preparing to
ask the legislature, which convenes
in Santa Fe in January next, to take
the proper action in these matters,
and not only authorize the compilation
and publication of the above muster
rolls, but to memorialize congress to
establish the Glorieta National park.
AS patriotic measures in honor of
those who risked their lives for the
nation, all citizens are alike interested
in them, and the people and press of
this commonwealth should urge these
matters upon law makers. 1t is time
to "get busy
Jacob Weltmer, member of Carl
ton Post, No. 3, G. A. r., of this city,
has received a letter from Smith Fl.
Simpson, of Taos in regard to the
matter. Mr.. Simpson is interesting
members of the territorial legislature
in the matter and is securing assist
ance to bring about the publication
of the records.
Mr.. Simpson states that the volun-
teer muster rolls are all in the adiu-
tant generals Office and that it will
not require over $4,000 to compile and
publish them in book form.
Mr.. Simpson writes that he has
found the muster roll of the First
Volunteer Company of 1S47, and will
forward it to Comrade Reynolds who
is chairman of the committee and he
will place it in the adjutant generals
office. There is only one other volun-
teer company muster roll missing,
that of Captain IL, Stewards company
of spies and scouts 1855, in the CAM
paign against the Utes and Apathes.
He says that Taos is doing it's share,
and has, besides, already secured a
promise from the war department to
erect a monument, in the cemetery at
Taos, to the memory of the soldiers
killed in 1S47 and in 1854, and whose
bodies are buried there.
