PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS
CIVIL WAR VETERANS

Washington, Feb. 4.-Three of the
giants of the House had their innings
yesterday. The Indian appropriation
bill was under discussion, but legisla-
tion was relegated to the back
ground while national politics occu.
pied the stage. Before the political
situation cropped out, the House,
with next to the largest attendance
of the session present, and with but
one dissenting voice, passed the gen.
eral widows pension bill granting a
fiat pension Of $12 month to the
widows of all honorably discharged
soldiers of the civil war who have not
heretofore received the benefit of the
pension law, and an increase of 81
month for those who have benefit
ed under the act of June ~, 1890. The
law expressly valves the limitation
of property holdings. The bill in
wolves the expenditure of more than
100000 annually.

LAND OFFICE RENDERS
AN IMPORTANT DECISION

Washington, Feb. At is an.
nounced at the general land office
that decisions in perhaps dozen or
more similar cases have been ren.
dered by that Office within the past
few months, holding tnat a person
could take but one assignment of
land from claimants. This is re.
versal of the former practice being
that person could take any number
of assignments, but the total number
of such assignments could not exceed
800 acres. The former regulations,
it is said, opened up the way for
frauds, but under the present deci-
sion it is believed that this will be
prevented; that 1t will also tend to
better administration OF the law. The
first decision on the subject was
rendered In September, and although
an appeal from such ruling could be
taken to the secretary o. the interior,
no such appeal has yet been made.

life boats, terrific wind at the time
making it impossible for a life boat
to live. Finally the Cymbric got a
boat away and after a hard fight
with the waves aided by oil which
the boat crew had spread on the wat
er, it succeeded in reaching the side
of the burning ship. Ten men,
all of whom were frightfully burned,
made their way over the side of the
ship and into the life boat which re.
turned with them to the Cymbric.
The same boat made q second and a
third trip rescung 81 men in all. On
the last trip the boat was stove in

Cymbric's side in safety.

The officers and crew of the st.

destroyed half the bridge A life boat

MUST FURNISH
SURETY BONDS
County Treasurers
Should Observe
New Law
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Personal Sureties Will Not
be Accepted--.Si De-
pends on Collections

Attorney General James M. Her
vey has rendered an opinion relative
to the size and kind of bonds to be
furnished by county treasurers, over
which a question has arisen owing to
conflicting statutes. He holds that
the later law must be followed which
provides that the bonds shall be fur
nished by trust or surety company
instead of by personal sureties and
that the size of the bonds shall be
based on the collections made during
the preceding year.
The Conflicting Statutes.
Under Section 1888 of the Compiled
Laws of 1897 county treasurers were
required to give bond with two sure
ties double the probable amount of
school funds handled and in no case
less than for $4,000. Section l of
Chapter LOG of the Session Laws Of
1905 provides that all bonds hereaf-
ter required by territorial or county
officials who receive, keep or disburse
public money shall be furnished by a
trust or surety company and provides
also that no bonds with personal sure
ties shall hereafter be accepted. Sec
ton 2 of the same statute provides
that all bonds of county treasurers
shall be based on the collections
made during the preceding year and
shall be Is per cent of such collec-
tions.
Attorney General Hervey's opinion
in the matter is in substance as fol-
lows:
Synopsis Of Opinion.
Section one containing negative
provision against personal sureties
would impliedly repeal that part Of
the old law allowing personal sure
ties and Section being inconsistent
with the remainder of the old section
would impliedly repeal that part of it
fixing the bond in double the prob
able amount of school funds causing
a hardship not intended by the legis-
lature.
Furthermore, the later law covers
the entire field of bonds of officers
handling public money and comes
within that rule of construction that
a later general act will repeal spe-
cial act when the general act pur.
ports to cover the entire subject"

Fairness.

The annual report of Secretary of the

1T Is significant that this Increase

to any great extent in the river valleys
but is along the mesas, which until
recently had been given up entirely
to grazing. This fact Is due to the
success of the dry farming method. If
this proves an ultimate success. it Is
estimated that nearly 50.000000 acres
of land In New Mexico will be avail.
