Superintendent VIM. Aldrich of the
public schools said that in teaching
nautre work in the schools, the chill
dren in reading about birds building
Their nests, squirrels laying up stores
etc, became in closer sympathy with
animal life. The lessons taught in
cldentally often leave more lasting
impression upon the pupils than do the
regular daily grind and 1t is next to
impossible to put in a course of hui
name study in the already crowded
curriculum of the schools. He spoke
of the books BLACK Beauty" and "The
Strike at Shay's" as two books in the
schools which taught good lesson in
humane work to the children.
Rev. Giglinger.
Rev. George Giglinger expressed
great sympathy for the work of the
society. If all were humane, there
would be no occasion for the meeting,
but there is need of such an organ
ization in every city. He was sure
that Keokuk would not tolerate brutal
treatment of any kind and expressed
the opinion that a person who mis-
treats dumb animals, should be sent
away to city about "a miles north
of here which recently celebrated it's
centennial. The more defenseless
the animal, the worse the crime.
The flag floating over our nation
should remind us of our duties The
blue represents the blue dome of
heaven which extends over all crea
ton, including the brute creation The
stars shine upon man and beast. The
stripes should remind people of the
kind of clothes they should wear if
they are not humane
In closing Father Giglinger hoped
that God would bless Mrs. Rood and
her work
At the close of the meeting vote
of thanks was extended to all who had
taken part in the program and to Mr..
Hughes for his courtesy in furnishing
the opera house. A vote of thanks
was also extended to Mrs. Rood for
her work.

Afraid of Ghosts

Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people
are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is fancy and
the germ is fact. If the germ could be maenifed

WILL BE TRIED
liz ARIZONA
Prominent Citizen of the Mexican
Republic Charged With VioIat-
ing Neutrality Law.

Los Angeles Jan. G-The petition
to the United States supreme court
for writ of habeas corpus in the
cases of the three alleged Mexican
revolutionists, Magon, Villareal and
Riveria, was dismissed on motion for
the defense. Lack of funds and pros
pect of further delay in determining
the issue in the cases led to today's
action. The men have been in the
Los Angeles county Jail for more than
a year. and their cases have caused
widespread interest and have resulted
in diplomatic representations between
the governments at Washington. The
accused men will now be taken to
Arizona to stand trial for violating the
neutrality laws of the United States.
1t is charged that they participated in
an unsuccessful revolution started
against the reign of President Diaz.
The prisoners are of the better class
of Mexicans and have been more or
less prominent in the republic.

The Territorial Engineer Sees There, a
Great Future Ahead and Expresses
Some Interesting Views
THE RESOURCES ARE UNL|M lied
There is an Abundance Of Sandy Loan Soil That is
Thoroughly Fertile And Which Affords Splendid
Opportunity For Successful Farming.

600 acres on the east side of the Ami
mas river.
Filings for water rights in the last
two years on proposed projects in
this section, cover over a million
acres OF land.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has estimated that the great Gal
lup-Durango coal fields contain approx
imately S0,0O0,00O 900 tons of coal of
which it is estimated that 65,O00,OOO,-
600 tons lie in New Mexico. This i'm
!mense quantity would be sufficient to
give every man woman and child in
the Territory over a hundred and fifty
thousand tons.
In order to develop these resources
with any degree OF success and speed,
it will be necessary, first, to have the
provisions of the Carey Act extended
to the Territory, in order that the
land lying Under these large projects
may be segregated for irrigation pur-
poses and be held for such enterprises.
The United States government un-
dertakes no irrigating project with
out first withdrawing the land under
the project from homestead and desert
entry, in order that every desirable
acre shall have water right and pay
its proportion Of the costs of the pro-
, iect. How then can private enterprise
hope to be successful without these
same privileges especially where the
projects are of such magnitude?
| The necessity of standard gauge
railroad from the east and south is as
necessary as the Carey Act for the
development of thee resources which
will 'nean millions of tonnage. The col
onization. question alone cannot be
handled successfully without good
transportation.
The great possibilities in agricul-
tural lines in the Territory are only
beginning to become known and the
success of agricultural pursuits, where
| farming is carried on under a small
amount of rainfall or under irrigation,
depends so much on the individual
farmer, as the ordinary methods of
farming under these conditions will
not bring success and as result,
many failures will be made where sue
cess should have been. In view of
this permit me to say, that the time
has come when the Territory can well

The Long Standing Differences Are
Now Wiped Out by the Agree
ment Concluded ,at the Ma

Washington. Jan. 6.---It was learned
here that negotiations have just been
concluded between the governments
of the United States, Colombia and
Panama, whereby all matters in con-
troversy between them are settled
The treaty, or treaties, have been
signed by Secretary OF State Root for
the United States: Minister Cortez,

BY the terms of the treaty Colombia
recognizes the independence OF Pan
anna, and the two countries resume
diplomatic and commercial relations.
Panama agrees to pay to Colombia
annual installments of $250,00O for
ten years, as her share of the Colon
bian national debt incurred at the
time when Panama was part of that
republic.
The United States agrees to fur
nish to Panama the money to be paid
to Colombia. in accordance with terms
of the existing treaty between the
United States and Panama, the first
payment to be made nine years after
date of the treaty.
1t was also learned that the treaty
permanently fixes the boundary line

NOT A VIOLATION
OF THE LAW
Says the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Matter of the Colo
raoo Land Gases.

Washington, Jan, G.-The United
States supreme court has sustained
the decision of Judge Lewis of the
Colorado district court, in which he
dismissed tho indictments found
against Edward NJ. Briggs. Charles II.
Freeman, Charles ID. McPhee, John j.
McGinnity, A. r. Sullenberger and 9th
ers charged with conspiracy in ref
erence to the acquisition of public
timber lands
The specific charge was that Of con
spiracy to defraud the government by
conspiring to enter timber lands un-
der the timber and coal act in excess
OF acreage permitted by that law
The decision was rendered by Jus
tice White, who stated in part, that
the indictments against the defend
ants charged them with conspiracy
lin violation of the second clause of
section No. $40, revised statutes,
which makes it criminal to conspire
to defraud the United States in any
manner. The means by which it was
charged that the United States was
defrauded was the unlawful obtain
ing, by purchase, under the timber
and stone act, Of public lands of the
/ United States in excess of quantity
authorized by law. The opinion recites
the terms of the timber and stone
act which, in the first section, limits
the amount of land which applicants
ca mcguire to 100 acres.

Territorial Engineer Vernon l.. Sui
livan. who recently visited San Juan
county. "The land of the big red ap-
ple,' is of the opinion that that coun-
ty is one of the finest and most pro-
missing sections of New Mexico and
gives his views as follows:
Resources of San Juan County.
The great possibilities of the north
western section of our Territory lie,
principally, in the magnitude OF three
of it's natural resources, namely, It's
rich fertile soil and its extensive coal
deposits.
The largest portion of its water sup
ply is from the San Juan and Animas
rivers. whose combined discharge for
the year preceding June 18th, 1908,
was 2,477.621 acre feet of water, as
taken from the official records OF the
office of Territorial Engineer, or an
amount which would cover 2,477, ,62l
acres one foot deep, assuming no loss,
and which may be illustrated by say
ing. that it would take a canal 200 feet
wide flowing IA feet deep with We
locity of 120 fet per minute, eight
months to deliver that amount OF wa
ter. The water comes largely from
the melting OF SHOWS in the mountains
of high altitude and is, therefore, pure
4 bnr nf tho
rivers comes at a time of the year
when it is most needed for irrigation
There is an abundance of red, sandy
loan soil with enough humus and 9TH
er vegetable food matter to make 1t
very fertile, while the texture of the
soil is such that it will admit OF q
very high duty Of water when proper
" cared for. The land is more OF
less rough, especially on the north
side of San Juan river lying, gen
orally speaking, in individual mesas
varying in size from several hundred
to several thousand acres. These
mesas lie ideal for irrigation and pre-
sent very attractive appearance, but
this however, is countrbalanced by
the extreme cost, in delivering the wa
ter to the land. It is for this rea
son that there is so much unappropri
ated water available today. The cost
of one Of these projects is estimated
at some fifteen million dollars alone
90 from this If will he seen that the
enterprises in this section of the coun
try are very large indeed.
Development, on a large scale, has
already commenced. The Eden Cana
Land & Power Co., on December 9TH
1908, started construction work OF
their project which will irrigate 30,
