Sen. Hepburn Opposes
LARGE Homestead Bill

Washington, d C. May Ex-senator
Hepburn, of Idaho, today sent out an
alarm to the effect that he would talk
the measure to death rather than per-
nit the adoption of conference report
on the bill to provide an enlarged home
stead. The bill as passed by the senate
limited the increased homestead of 800
i acres to non-irrigable, arid and semi
arid land, and the house struck out "arid
and semi arid land. y
Mr. Hepburn charged that the bill
was land grabbing measure, permit
ting single settler to take 800 instead
of 100 acres of non. irrigable land, which
in Idaho, he said, would include land
that does not need irrigation. so that
the restriction against non-irrigable
land was without effect.
"If the senate has any business it de-
sires to attend to in the near future, |
would suggest that the consideration of
this report be deferred" he said. He
insisted that if the bill was to be passed
it be amended to except Idaho. He
thought the senator's from California
had the same objection to it that he had.
Mr.. Hepburn suggested that he had al.
ways supposed the views of a senator
were consulted in enacting legislation
affecting his state.
Senator Newlands interpoSed to say
he understood that the two Idaho sena.
tors were divided on this subject, but
Mr.. Borah disavowed the attitude, say
ing that as the bill had been amended
he was opposed to it.
Senator Flint insisted that California
objected to the report, that it was un-
justly increasing the homestead from
100 to 800 acres Mr.. Hepburn procee-
ded to make good his threat to talk the
session to close and after an hour had
passed Mr.. Nelson, OF Minnesota, sug-
gested to senator Smoot that the con-
ference report be Withdrawn ard that
course was followed Journal

ARCHBISOP DIES
in GHICAG0
Had Spent Quarter of Century ir
Pioneer Church Work in
New Mexico

Rev. Peter Bourgade. who since jan
uary z, 1899, has had charge of the
archdiocese of Santa Fe, one of the
oldest in New Mexico, died at Mercy hos
pital in Chicago, last Sunday, Of heart
failure, at the age of 66 years. Some
months ago Rev. Bourgade left Santa Fe
for Hot Springs, Arkansas, to recuper-
ate, and appeared to be improving. On
May 4th he went to Chicago, in hopes
that the change would be beneficial, but
it was not to be. During his long service
in the church of his choice, he has held
some of the highest positions possible to
be conferred by the church, as is evil
denced by the following sketch of his life:
Most Rev. Peter Bourgade was born
sixty-six years ago in Clairmont, France.
He made his preliminary studies for the
priesthood in France and came to New
Mexico before being ordained priest. in
1866, accompanying Archbishop Lamy.
He was ordained , a priest in Santa Fe
shortly after his arrival. For nearly 20
years he labored as parish priest and
missionary in New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas being at different times stationed
at Silver City, N. M, San Elzearo, Texas,
and many other places. While parish
priest at Silver City, N. M, he
built convent, hospital and academy for
the Sisters of Mercy. At San Elzeario
the large church was erected through his
efforts. On May. le, 1885, he was ap-
pointed vicar apostolic of Arizona, with
headquarters at Tucson. On May le,
1897, he was consecrated bishop of the
diocese at Tucson, succeeding Bishop
Salpointe, who was transferred to the
archbishopric of Santa Fe. A magnif-
cent cathedral and fine sanitarium were
built at Tucson by Bishop Bourgaoe.
while laboring in that diocese. On jan
uary z, 1899. he was transferred to the
archdiocese of Santa .Fe and conseerated
archbishop. f..1..~.5 .. Jourgade was
the fourth prelate to occupy the arch
bishopric. The see of Santa Fe was
established in 1850 and as an archbishop
ric in 1875, Archbishop Lamy being
the first archbishop. He was fol-
lowed by Archbishop Salpointe Chapelle
and Bourgade. Although in poor health
while occupying the position, Archbishop
Bourgade managed to accomplish great
deal Of work which will be a lasting
monument to his memory. His last an
nual report showed total of $4,000
members in the territory, with forty
five churches having resident priests, $40
missions and chapels and number of
schools, converts and academies.

We're Well Pleased.

That the businessmen Of Santa Fe
were well pleased with the manner in
which they were treated while in
Estancia last Thursday is shown by the
following clipping from report of
their meeting after their return:
The residents of Estancia, especially
the restaurant and hotel keepers were
commended upon the fine manner in
which they took care of recent Santa
Fe visitors. 1t was stated that first
class meals we're served for 25 and 35
cents and that every effort was made
to make visitors comfortable.

hGH|N THE EASTERN
WILL BE BUILT
Rumor Declares the Albuquerque Eastern and Santa Fe Cen
tral will be Merged as the New Mexico
Central

force of men will be doubled in number
Another version of the affair is, that
as the franchise of the Albuquerqe East
tern was about TO expire, the re organiza.
ton under another name was made to
hold the franchise fcr longer time.
What truth or virtue there is in this, is
problematic.
The building of the Eastern would
bring the northern end of the valley into
Il. ser touch with the Duke City and
thus beneIlt both that part of the valley
and the city. The southern part of the
valley has close connection by way of
the Belen Cutoff. Probably the most
direct good to tho valley as whole
would result from the road entering the
Hagan Coal Fields, as this should reduce
the price OF coal considerabl, in this
part of tie territory. AS the people have
been waiting for several years to see the
building of the road, they can continue a
few me nths longer to do 20, without
serious injury.

DEMOCRATS SCORE '.' :.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
As Incompetent Neglectfu and Worthless Instruct for
Larrazola Nominee for Delegate to
.E Congress

: The democrats of Torrance county
met in delegate convention on last Sat-
urday at 2 o'clock in Estancia, six Of
the precincts of the county being rep
resented, wis.,: Estancia, Moriarty Viii
lard, Tajique, Torreon and Abo. Chair.
man w D. Wasson called the conven.
ton to order, and after having stated
the puspose of meeting, asked for
nominations for temporary officers. Mr..
Wasson was made temporary chairman
with ]. P. Dunlayy as temporary secrs-
tary.
Committees on credentials, rules and
order of business, permanent organiza-
tion and resolutions were named, after
which an adjournment of half an hour
was taken to give the committees
time to prepare their reports.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation suggested that the temporary
organization be made permanent, which
was done. The committee on credentials
reported 26 delegates present, with no
contested delegations.
The resolutions were not lengthy nor
verbose, but made up for this in tho
manner in which they went to the core
Of the matters handled. After reading
of the same by the secretary, motion
prevailed that the various delegations
express themselves as to the intent Of
the resolutions. This was done and in
a. manner which left no mincing OF
words, especially when the county ad-
miaistration came in for its share. The
speakers realized that the county Off
cials have been derelict in their duties,
and naturally blamed the whole thing
to the Republican party. AS a solution
df the problem the Democrats contem-
plate electing a complete democratic
ticket in November.
