A correspondent from Pressure Isle says
that during the month Of September more
than twice as many potatoes were shipped
from that station than for any September
in Aroostook history SO far this is un-
questionably the banner season.
The largest yield yet reported is by Leon
Suffer, who dug 1S5 barrels of merchant

Why not start in the New Year
with a more concerted effort on the
part of our citizens to improve tie
town? Let US agitate and procure a
handsome Federal Building! Let us
have a trolley! Foster home indus
tries and induce more industries to
locate here! Let US have better
streets and pavements Agitate clean
streets and beautify the approaches
of town! Smyrna has as progressive
citizens as you will find in any town.
Let's be more public spirited and
reorganize an active Board of Trade
We should do it for Smyrna. Other
towns will advance far ahead of us
if we sit with our hands folded and
expect everything to come our way.
We must work and agitate if we
expect municipal progress! Don t
delay! Do it now.

The Times wishes its many readers
a happy and prosperous New Year.

For years the taking of the census
has been looked upon by the National
Legislators as an opportunity to get
Jobs for clamorous constituents.
While the operation of the Civil Ser
vice Law gradually has been extended
\ to most of the permanent government
positions, Congress resists all efforts
to bring the census taker under the
true classified service. The National
Civil Service Reform League has
called attention again to this matter
and asked that the 1900 or more
clerks to be added to the Census Bu-
reau for the compiling of the next
census be selected for fitness as
determined by competitive examina-
tions. 1t protests against the pro-
posed non competitive examinations
of applicants for these positions and
quotes President Roosevelt as charac-
herizing the suggestion as nothing
but a cloak to hide the nakedness of
the spoils system" The Government
is to spend millions of dollars on the
census. The taint of spoils upon II
will bring waste and inaccuracy. Il
is unfair to the people of the United
States to withhold the test of fitness
from those who work on the censu
tables.

The reception rendered Bishop

of st. Peters Parish Saturday even

a most pleasant occasion. The good
bishop remained here over Sunday
and preached at Trinity Church, Clay

services he made a good impression.
While genial and pleasant to every
body, be made a deeper impression
with the children of whom he took
more than the usual notice. He
touched the hearts of the boys by his

Bishop Kinsman bids fair to be a

other parishes as he does in Smyrna
he will always have warm an'
hearty welcome down the State.

days past the members of the ma
tional monetary commission, which

Congress to devise plans for currency
legislation, and which is composed of
nine senators and nine representatives.

ations for their trip to Europe for
the purpose of studying foreign bank

bankers there.
The members of the commission
have also spent part of the time In
consultation with bankers here, OBJ
tanning the views of the principal fl
nanciers of this city in regard to the
needs of the present currency system.
1t has become known in Wall street
that Senator Aldrich, who is at the
head of the commission, has come ia
hold the opinion that the upshot OF
the commissions studies will be not to
ro1nulgate a new currency measure
but to simply make additions to the
Aldrich-Vreeland law. Many leading
bankers hope that the senator will
experience change of heart before
the completion of the investigation
which the commission will make
abroad.

WEDDED IN HASTE
WHILE TRAIN WAITED
SOcorrO Attorney and Las Vegas
Teacher United in Marriage at 8
O'Clock This Morning.

The joy of being probate clerk
and having the custody of the big
book from which marriage certificates
of welding sympathetic souls together,
sometimes have their rather discon-
certing elements for Cupid will not
be thwarted.
w. e. Kelly a well known attorney
of Socorro, and Mrs. Matte S. Gar
lick, an estimable school teacher of
Las Vegas, were married In this city
at o'clock this morning by Rev. ].
c. Rollins, while train No. 9 stood at
the local station.
The bridegroom arrived in the city
yesterday but was unable to secure a
license because of the law which re-
quires both the contracting parties
TO be present. The bride was on train
No. 9, which was late as a result of
the wreck of the California limited in
Kansas. 1t did not arrive until about
o'clock this morning, but Attorney
Kelly was equal to the occasion. Sc
curing the services Of DR.. Rollins Mr..
Kelly met the train with a carriage
and the three drove to the residence
of Probate Clerk A. e. Walker. The
latter was reused out OF bed and the
coveted certificate obtained. Train No.
waited at the station. A hasty cere-
mony was gone through and the min
lister was handed his fee as the rear

Mrs. Kelly to their home at Socorro.

that IL the present increase in con-
sumption keeps UP the better part of
the coal will be gone before the close
of the next century and that the ma
tion will long before that feel the
effects of the waning supply. The
government itself spends $4,000, 900
yearly for coal and 1t was primarily
to get the best results from this ex-
penditure that the investigations of
he gas producer and gas engine was
taken up.
The tests in the gas producer at the
government plant have shown that
many fuels of such low grade as to
be practically valueless for steam
furnace purposes, including slack coal
bone coal and Ignite. may be econ
omically converted INTO producer gas
and may thus generate sufficient gas
power to render them of high COM

MILLIONS OF POUNDS
WERE PURCHASED HERE

Albuquerque has demonstrated this
year that it stands head and shoulders
above every other city in the south.
west as a wool maj ketins centers Be-
cause of local conditions as a result,
of strong competition, sheep growers
marketing their wool here this year
have received from a half to two cents
more for their product than they
could have gotten at any other mar
ket in the southwest or west,
This was the statement this after
noon of w. e. Mauger, a prominent
wool buyer of lis North First street.
Mr.. Mauger bought over 100000
pounds of wool on the local market
this year, and while he says that all
wool sold here brought more money
than the Boston market warranted,
there is probability that profit will
he made on all of it.
Mr.. Mauger says that the years clip
in the territory probably amounted to
between 100000 and 100000
pounds, and that it is pretty wei
cleaned up. There may be a few small
lots here and there but all the large
growers have sold. The average price
was IL cents. Some sold as low as
8 cents early in the season but the
most was sold at from 10 to IL cents
The crops brought more than a mil
lion dollars to the territory, and places
New Mexico third among the WOO
growing states and territories the
country.
1t is Mr.. Mauger's opinion thai
most of the wool purchased on the
local market this year was purchased
for speculation and will be held fol
bettac prices ia the east. The demand
for fashions" has overshadowed the
shorter and coarser woods for several
years past, and this has been a factor
very dana ging to the woods of the
southwest Mr.. Mauger says that in
Washington and other northern states
combing wool has brought is cents a
pound ard the clothing wool was
bringing 10 cents, showing the de-
mand by manufacturers for the better
wool.
Mr.. Mauger said that the fact that
Albuquerque had large securing mill
was one of the important reasons why
it had become one of the principal
wool markets of the country.

SOON TO START
Robert Laws, Who Is i'm Active Charge
Says Force VIII Start Work
Inside of Thirty Days.

Santa Fe, N. M, Aug. 1.-(Special)
Robert Laws, who Is in active
charge of the affairs of the New Mex
leo Central railway, representing the
combined interests of the Santa Fe
Central, the Albuquerque Eastern and
company OF wealthy eastern men,
said today that he expected to have a
full force of men at work out of Nor
iarty building the new line to the Ha-
gan coal fields
Col. w. S. Hopwell is en- route to
Albuquerque from the east and will
reach there tonight. He has just been
in conference with the men who are
financing the new line.
Mr.. Laws said that the construction
apparatus and engineers will reach
Moriarty probably next week.
A portion of the roadbed has been
constructed to the station of Frost, 20
miles out of Moriarty. The bridges
have been built on this piece OF the
line and the construction force will
start work on that section Of the line,
Strengthening up the roadbed and lay
ing the rails. Work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible until the line is
in operation to the coal mines. II is
then proposed to begin construction
work into Albuquerque. Mr. Laws
stated that the company which has
the contract for the construction. Is
one OF the most extensively equipped
in the business and ii will literally
make the dirt fly when 1t starts.
Mr.. Laws expects to go to Albu-
querque where the general offices
will be opened on Monday or Tuesday
of next week.

hours he went to Didier's saloon yes
terday on reaching Belen and asked
the bartender there to keep $3.50 for
him.
Mandle was able to prove an alibi
on the charge of robbing the Cox sa-
loon in a hearing before Judge Will
liam Berger. but was held for a hear
ing before the grand jury on a charge
Of carrying concealed weapons. 1t was
shown that Mandle at one time had
pistol in his possession. J. II. Pea.
body, who appeared in Belen as a
partner of Mandle, was also dlscharg-
ed as one of the men who held up the
Cox saloon.
The mystery that Is now bothering
the authorities Is where the two men
got the money which they spent so
freely. They were working on the
fence gang IN the Santa Fe cut of
previous to going to Belen and we're
begging their meals when they first
arrived there. They began working as
laporers for John Becker shortly aft
er reaching Belen and worked on the
roof of the Becker company's mill
several days. All at once they became
possessed of large amount of money.
The amount is said to have been
s250O and while both men have told
various stories as to how they came
by the money, none of the stories
have been traced with view of as
certaining their truth. 1t is believed
that one or the ether OF the men
found the money at Belen accidentally
Several large amounts of money have
disappeared at the cut off town within
the past several years and 1t may be
that either Peabody or Mandle found
the cache of the thieves.
