WILL BUILD A
BRIDGE AT ABIOUIU
Commissioners of Rio Arriba County
Appropriate $500 and Citizens
Raise Like Amount.

Abiquiu, N. NJ, June 23.--At the re-
cent meeting of the board of com.
missioners of Rio Arriba county held
lat TERRA Amarillo the sum of $500
was appropriated to be used for build.
ing a wagon bridge across the Rio
Chama at this point. An additional
amount of $500 is being raised by pop
|ular subscription which will bring the
total cost of the bridge up to $1,000.
A bridge at this point will fill long
felt want as during the flood season
lit Is impossible to cross the river ex-
'cept by boat and this is extremely
hazardous owing to the swiftness Of
the current.
A site for school building has
been purchased by the school direc-
tors of this precinct from the Manzan-
ares estate and bids for the construc-
tion of the building will be asked for
and the contract will be let at an early
date in order to have the structure
ready for the fall term. From the same
estate it is understood the Catholic
church will purchase the old Man
zanares homestead, and remodel the
same as residence for the parish
priest.
The weather here continues dry and
windy Grain and garden truck are
backward and the ranges are badly
in need OF moisture.
The fruit crop is encouraging. APP
pies will yield at least fifty per cent
of the total crop, while early varieties
such as breaches, pears, cherries and
plumbs will be less than the average
crop, but the yield will be fair and OF
good quality.

SPECIAL MEETING OF
CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT

A special meeting of the city coun'
Gil will be held tonight for the pur'
pose of settling all disputes over the
paving of lower San Francisco street
from the Claire hotel to Galisteo
street. The report of the city engin-
eer containing the estimate of the
cost of this pavement, has been before
the council almost a month and the
property owners have been notified OF
the apportionment. 1t Is understood
that several objections will be made
to paving the street when the coun-
Gil meets tonight.
Since the agitation for paving this
street started considerable interest
has arisen over the statement that
Santa Fe will have the only paved
street in New Mexico when the pave
ment is down. So far no one has men
toned a street in New Mexico that
IS paved and the city administration
is congratulating itself on taking the
initiative in paved streets.

Boston, June 23,--Despite the ap.
peals OF President Roosevelt and As,
sistant Secretary of State Robert Ba.
con, Messrs. Fish and Morgan, the
two crew men suspended for violat.
ing the rule against removing books
from the Harvard reference library
will not be permitted to row in the

President Roosevelt made person.

make any change in the ruling.
President Elliott said each man did
a dishonorable thing. The least pos.
sible punishment is putting them on
probation, but that drops them from
the crew.
"A keen sense of honor being the
finest result of college life, | think
the college and graduates should con-

COURT RESERVES DECISION
IN IRRIGATION SUIT.

Arguments in the case of the Rio
Mimbres Irrigation company against
Commissioner of Public Lands Rob-
ert P. Ervien, was concluded in fed.
eral court yesterday and the case has
been taken under advisement by
Judge John r. McFie The point
raised yesterday by the United States
was that the government had the
right to intervene in the suit. which
was brought in the territorial court.
The irrigation company took the
ground that the federal government
is not involved. The suit was brought
to prevent Commissioner Ervien from
cancelling a contract between the IT.
rigation company and the territory.
Because OF the many questions OF
law raised Judge McFie will not be
able to arrive at a decision for some
time and so announced this morning.
This case is an important one in that
1t involves several million dollars in
lands, proposed improvements and
water rights.

FOREST FIRE DISCOVERED
IN NICK OF TIME

While riding down Santa Fe Canon
last evening, e. I. Terry Of the For
est Service, discovered fire close to
the Scenic Highway near Monument
Rock. 1t apparently had been started
by camp fire kindled by the side of
an old log, which having been left un-
extinguished had burned the log and
was beginning to spread in the dry
grass. When Mr.. Terry arrived, the
fire had burned over only small area
but 1t was spreading rapidly and if it
had not been checked would soon
have spread to the neighboring tim
Der above and undoubtedly have done
considerable damage. Two goat herd
|ers were seen in that vicinity in the
afternoon and 1t Is thought that they
started the fire. The case will be In.
|vestigated as there Is heavy penalty
for leaving camp fires unextinguished
