EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
FOR TARIFF REVISION.

Mr.. TAFT is explicit in his views
regarding tariff revision. in case Of
his election. In answer to n ques-
ton by n news reporter, he said
If elected ! shall call the Sixty.
FIRST Congress together in extra
'esaion, TO revise the tariff. ut the
very earliest moment | have the
authority TO do so. | consider
such action to be nv obligation,
under the tariff plank OF the repub.
lican platform"
MIR. TAFT made this declaration
before he had seen Mr.. Bryan's re-.
cent tariff speech, and the state
mcnt was made without reference
or knowledge OF what the dem
%ocratic nominee has said on the
subject. So Mr.. BRYAN can in no
way charge that the republicans

pleasure to offer Mr.. Gallagos every
Legitimate service that a newspaper
can give, both in securing the nom.
nation OF the republican party, for
this honor, and his election to thi

more representative candidate OF
the party, from this district, could
not be had, and we feel that il h.
is elected, like his brother, who re-.
presented this district in the last
Assembly, he will be up and doing
something every hour, tor his con-
stituency, in both the counties OF
Guadalupe and Quay, and we be-
licvc that his nomination will mean
his election.

FOREST RESERVE YIELD

Delegate w. II. Andrews has
received from the Forestry bureau,
a statement OF the earnings OF the
forest reserves OF New Mexico
Tor the past year, which shows
that the income has been 1856.

the schools and roads in counties
OF the territory in which forest re-
serves are located. II is a splen.

Twenty-Five per cent oil the gross
income from forest reserves goes
to the roads and school funds OF
the counties covered by the forest
reserves, The fact that $4,000
will this year be distributed to
school districts and to the road
funds, is something the territory
may refer to with n good deal OF
satisfaction, and the opposition to
the establishing OF forest reserves
in our territory should he less than
heretofore. The benefit is appar.

ed. The forest reserves are really
a great benefit to the stockmen OF
New Mexico who patronize them;
overstocking is avoided, and the
cost per head OF stock raised on the
reserves is insignificant when com.
pared to the advantages OF range
and water, offered by them.

PoISo NINC PRAIRIE DOGS.

The Forestry Service has been
experimenting in plans to extermi.
nate prairie dogs from forest re.
serves, the object being moi only to
rid the reserves OF the pests, but
to save the grazing lands Tor the
benefit OF stock.
The first experiment was made
in New Mexico by a stock man who
has since entered the forestry SER

Ram, chief OF the division OF Bio

OF Agriculture, made a report on

effectiveness OF this work, an area
OF sixty to seventy thousand acres
OF actual dogtown was selected Tor
the test, and from 30 to 90 per cent
oi the dogs were killed with the
first distribution Of the poison.
1t was found necessary to 20 over
the ground n second time, and by
spotting the unoccupied holes kill
the remaining dogs, which was
successfully done by a small amount
OF the poisoning material. The
average cost per acre for the
poisoning material was one and
one.hali cents, and even then IL
was found that more material was
used than was necessary. The
poison is prepared by coating
wheat with a preparation Of strych.
chnine, cyanide OF potassium, anise
oil and molasses. When a suHici.
ent quantity is ready; the poisoned
wheat is carried TO the field OF op.
Grafton. In this experiment the
poisoning was applied by men on
horseback, the wheat being given
out to them in a tin pail supported
by IA gunny sack slung across the
right shoulder OF the rider, and
hanging at the lett side. The LETT
hand is free for the reins, while
with the right he uses a tablespoon
to measure the poison and drops
IL near the entrance OF the hole. 1t
rs found that with a little practice
the men are able to drop the whea,
while the horses are At n sharp
trot. BY crossing the dogtown
to and fro like farmers sowing
grain, a large area can be- covered

Bryan is going to make n deter.

state in the democratic column.
We would as soon undertake to
make Florida republican. The city

believe, all OF them. The wage

long since learned that their very

HEAVY PENALTY FOR CUT
TING GOVERNMENT TIMBER

Inasmuch as there has been a
general practice in this country OF
cutting and selling cedar posts, it
is well To publish the law in regard
TO timber cut from government
land. Parties who W patented
land have a perfect right 10 cut and
sell timber therefrom; parties who
merely have filings on land have
only the right TO cut the timber as
they put the land in cultivation; no
other parties have any right what.
yer TO cut timber from United
States public land. Everything
is regarded as timber that is valu.
able to burn, or to be used in any
other way that timber is to be used.
The punishment Tor knowingly cut.
ting timber on government land is
money damage for the full value oil
the timber, and parties are subject
to criminal prosecution, in which
ease the fine is $1,000, and impris.
onmcnt in the penitentiary for not
less than n year. In any case
there will always lay the action OF
the government for the full value
OF the timber cut, whether know.
ingly or otherwise.

TAFT in his speech to FIVE thousand
N~irginians, on August aIst, declar-

his point perfectly clear, Mr.. Taft
referred to the first election OF MIR.
Mckinley as one OF the most in.
telligcnt and effective expressions
oil a popular will, ever manifested
to the world, and the mandates OF
the gold standard and protective
tariff, by his administration, were

an expression OF the will OF the
people"
MIR. Bryan's wall OF despair,
Shall the people ruler" has little
weigh, against such argument;
argument that has been proven in
every branch OF our government
during the last two administrations.
The tact that Mr.. Bryan's party is
a propaganda OF the howl of calam.
ity, calamity, is sufficient reason
tor a country as prosperous as ours
to defeat him Tor the presidency.
