in charge

several of the sites will be inspected
and plans for the sanitarium will be
further discussed.
The institution will be national ir
scope and with it will likely be incorpo-
rated home for retired ministers, to
which will be transferred the $50, 0,00(
endowment of the present national
home in Evansville, Ind. The present
plans call for an expenditure of about
$50, 900 for the sanitarium which will
be general in scope and not confined t o
tuberculosis patients. The interest
aroused in the territory at large was a
great surprise to the committee and the
possibilities of the plan loom larger all
the time. R. H. Sims, of the Valley
Ranch, on the Pecos, was also present
with view to having the sanitarium
located on the upper Pecos.
The committee consists of the fol-
lowing: Rev. Hugh A. Cooper, of this
city, chairman; Rev. w. H, DuBose, of
Tucumcari; Rev. John Meeker, of Ala
mogordo: Rev. Frank c. Reid, of Phe-

passed through Estancia yesterday,

lope after the season had closed. The
accused men will be given hearing at
Moriarty. They have very little to say
as to the charge, except pleading limo
cent, declaring that some one else had
slain the animals and given them the
venison. The law is very strict, the
penalty being the same for killing an
tslops out of season or having the meat
In ones possession. If convicted, they
face fine Of $500 and three months
Imprisonment.
Stringent laws were adopted in 1901
with view of preserving the antelope
that still remained in the territory, as
they were being rapidly exterminated.
The season for killing them closed May
LIST, 1901 and will not open until May
1st, 1910. If the game laws are strictly
enforced, it will be only question of
time until there will bs a large number
OF the now nearly extinct animal. The
government is ably assisting the terri
torial officials in their efforts to bring
violators of the law to justice.

Comes to the Editor
for the Truth

Yesterday we enjoyed joke at the
expense of the real estate men. 1t is
not often that we can turn the laugh on
these genial fellows, so we made the
most of it. A homeseeker, who had
spent several days in the valley, during
most of which he was in the tolls of one
or more of the locaters, came to us
with pitiful tale. He claims that the
law in regard to filing homestead as
laid down by the various real estate
men differed so materially, that he put
them all down as eft subjects for the
Ananias Club" and came to the editor
for the truth.

Willemstead, Island of Curacao,
July 27.--The serious nature OF the
situation that has arisen between the
Netherlands and Venezuela was en-
phasized today by the issuance OF ord.
ers to the Dutch cruiser Gelderland to
proceed at once TO Venezuela and pro
tect Dutch intel ests there. The cruiser
received orders to return to Venezuela

Great JOY was manifested by the
population here today when 1t became

Senor Lopez, who took refuge in the
German consulate after a mob of Cur

RIO ,ARRIBA COUNTY
FOR w. H. ANDREWS
Prominent Citizen of Tusas Says He
Can Poll More Votes Than Any
Other Man.

Juan p. Gallegos, who came to the
city last week from Tusas, Rio Arri
ba county, to make an original home
stead entry on a piece OF land locat-
ed near Tusas, returned home this
morning. He was seen by a New
Mexican reporter while here and was
asked about conditions in general in
his county. Mr.. Gallegos said that the
crops were doing better than could be
expected taking into consideration
the dry weather The recent rains
have helped the crops some, but in
that section of the territory rain has
not been as plentiful as it has been
elsewhere.
What are you people going to do
politically this year," Mr.. Gallegos
was asked.
WELL" he hesitated, Il do not
know"
Il suppose you are all Democrats %
the inquisitive reporter queried.
"Oh, no. was the reply. "The peo-
pie of Rio Arriba county are true
blue to Republican principals and in
my neighborhood to amy knowledge
there are only two or three Demo
Gratis"
How is the situation for delegate
to the 61st Congress-" Mr.. Gallegos
was asked.
"Larrazolo will cut very little figure
in our county this year as we are go
ing to support the Republican nomi-
nee who ever he may be, but Dele
gate w. H. Andrews can poll more
votes there than any other man the
Republican party can put up as their
candidate. The people of Rio Arriba
county are anxious for statehood and
they feel assured that our present
hard-working delegate can and will
bring 1t about. The people OF our
county appreciate the good record
made by Delegate Andrews and in my
opinion he is entitled to another
term"

SUCCESSFUL FARMING
AROUND M'INTOSH
Potatoes, Sugar Beets and Feedstuffs
Being Raised in Abundance
Fine Rains Help Crops.

Farmers in the Mcintosh district In
Torrance county promise to carry off
the honofs for the best crops in the
Estancia Valley section this year.
While all the crops they have planted
have not been successful, yet the
yields in some instances have been SO
gratifying that all doubt as to the ulti-
mate success Of the valley as an agri.
cultural section has been dispelled.
F. J. Barbee, formerly connected
with the Santa Fe Central Railway
company in this city, but who is now
located at Mcintosh where he is In.
terested in mercantile store, was in
Santa Fe today, showing some sam
pies of what can be raised in McIn-
tosh and vicinity.
Among these samples were three
varieties of sugar beets, the white,
pink and dark red, the ordinary butter
beet and potatoes. The samples were
excellent ones and in every instance
they were raised on unirrigated land.
The potatoes were especially fine and
according to Mr.. Barbee this will be
the banner crop of that section this
season, as potatoes were planted In
abundance. The samples he was show
ing were raised within half mile Of
Mcintosh on the farm of Mr. Eckley.
Mr.. Barbee stated that the July
rains have gladdened the hearts of
the dry farmers there and have caus.
ed all crops to take on new life. On
Saturday last very heavy rain visit
ed Mcintosh and vicinity and the wa
ter for time ran six inches deep in
the streets of that town.
While the rains came too late to
help the early wheat crop, they have
saved the other crops and 1t is be-
Ilieved that enough foodstuffs will be
raised to supply the local demand, al
Though hundreds of new settlers are
expected to locate in the Estancia val
ley this fall and winter. Even now the
Immigration is large for this time Of
the year.
The flour mill which is being built
i at Mcintosh by stock company com
posed of citizens there is rapidly near
ing completion and will be finished in
thine to handle the fall wheat crop. 1t
is to cost $4,000 and the structure
itself is very imposing. being three
stories in heighth. It gives the little
town quite metropolitan appearance.
Mr.. Barbee, although new resident
there, is one Of the towns most en-.
thusiastic boosters and believes that
in few years that section will be
one of the the banner agricultural dis
tricts in the territory and Mcintosh
one of the most thriving towns Of the

DELEGATES IN CHICAGO
National Convention to Select
Ticket Will Open Its Ses-
sions This Evening.

Chicago July 27.-The delegates
continued to arrive today to attend
the national convention of the Inde-
pendence party which will assemble
tonight at s o'clock in Orchestra Hail.
William Randolph Hearst, who Is to
act as temporary chairman, has thus
far been the dominant factor in the
party's councils and his speech will
sound the keynote of the party's pol
icies throughout the coming campaign.
Thomas S. Higsen, of Massachusetts
and Milton w. Howard, Of Alabama,
seem to be the leading candidates for
the presidential nomination, Higsen
being strongly supported by the East
ern delegations while the South and
portions of the West are inclined to-
wards Howard. According to Hearst,
the fight is open and the nomination
will not be dictated or influenced in
any manner.
Charles r. Walsh, of Iowa, for many
years secretary of the Democratic ma.
tional committee will be permanent
chairman of the convention. The plat
form, it is expected, will contain a
radical declaration for an antiinjunc-
ton law.
Among the delegations arriving to-
day was that of New Mexico. The
Nevada delegates announced that they
would make strong fight for j. G.
.Hagerman for the vice-presidential
nomination. The sentiment is strong
among the delegates against fusion
with either the Democratic or Repub-
lican party.
