important for the following and other
reasons:
J. There are several hundred citi
Zens of New Mexico who were entitled
prior 10 March 4. 1904, by continuous
possession and occupation, to small
tracts of land which they are using for
homesteads and for agricultural pur-
poses. but who failed to make appli-
cation, at the proper time, under the
small holdings section OF said act of
March 3, 1891, because they did not
understand at that time that it was
necessary to make such application in
order to secure title to such land. to
which they supposed they had good tt
, tie by long use by themselves and
their ancestors.
2. In other cases, as illustrated n
the case of large part of the town
of La Joya in Rio Arriba county, num-
bers of citizens have neglected to
make such application at the time re-
quired by law because they believed
that their homes or lands We're within
the boundaries of valid land grants.
whereas surveys made since the ex-
piration of said proper time, have
shown that they are outside of said
land grants and upon the public do.
main, and therefore that they have no
title to such homes and lands.
Now, therefore (if the house of rep
Tesentatives concur), be it resolved by
the legislative assembly of New Mex
leo:
That the congress of the United
States be earnestly requested to pass
house bill No. 15442, entitled "a bill
20 amend an act entitled An act to es-
tablish a court of private land claims
and to provide for the settlement of
private land claims in certain states
and territories approved March 8,
1891, and the act amendatory thereto,
approved February q, 1893, and June
q, 1898" at its present session.
Resolved, That copy of this mem
orial be sent to the president of the
senate and speaker of the house of rep
resentatives OF the United States, and
to Hon. W. H. Andrews.

PRAISE FOR
GOVERNOR CURRY
Educators Adopt Resolution Recogniz-
ing His Great Service in School
Land Matters


The past few days the leading edI
Gators and heads of educational in
stitutions in New Mexico have been
in informal session in this city dis
cussing legislative matters. On Sat
urday they adopted the following reso-
luton unanimously
Whereas, BY an act of Congress of
1898, known as the Ferguson Act, Sec
tions 16 and Sc of every township in
New Mexico were granted to the pub
lie schools of New Mexico as a perma-
nent endowment for said schools.
And.
Whereas, A large number Of said
sections falling within private land
grants, Indian reservations, National
Forests and Military reservations,
were unavailable for such purpose, so
that the amount of the proposed en-
dowment was seriously reduced and
Whereas, Through the efforts of
Governor Curry and upon his repre-
sentation of the facts in the case and
of the needs of the public schools of
New Mexico. an act of Congress has
been passed authorizing the selection
of other lands to an equal amount in
lieu of the unavailable sections 16
and Sc above mentioned, thus secur-
ing for the public schools of the Ter
ritory over nine hundred thousand
acres of additional land which may
be located without restriction in such
manner as to secure for the schools
the most valuable unappropriated
lands in the Territory. Therefore, be
Resolved, That the Territorial board
of education recognizes the great val
lie of the service which Governor Cur
ry has rendered in this matter to the
Territory Of New Mexico and to it's
public schools and the said board
records it's sense of the universal ap-
probation and approval with which
this action has been received by all
who are interested in the promotion
Of education in New Mexico. And, be
it further
Resolved, That the Territorial board
of education expresses its hearty ap-
proval of the policy of Governor Cur
rvs administration in safeguarding
the school lands and withholding them
from premature sale with view to
scouting the maximum value from
them for the permanent endowment OF
the public schools of the Territory
and in encouraging and supporting IN
every possible way not only the COM
mon schools but also the higher in
stitutions of learning, to the end that
the entire educational system OF the
Territory may be organized and ad-
ministered with the greatest possible
efficiency for the benefit Of all the
people. And, be it further
Resolved That these resolutions be
spYead upon the minutes Of this board
and that copies of the same be fur
nished to the Governor and to the
press

Representative Baca made motion
that Dr. T.. p. Brown of Roy. Mora
county, be appointed enrolling and en-
crossing clerk; e. D. Salazar of San
Miguel county, assistant sergeant-at-
arms and Samuel Rains, of Ration, Col
fax county, watchman. The motion
was carried All three are United
States employees.
A motion was made by Representa-
tive R. l.. Baca that the house adjourn
until ocolck in the afternoon. Upon
request of Representative Mirabal, Mr..
Baca withdrew his motion. However,
when Representative Zacarias Valdez
of San Miguel county rose to point
OF order in opposition to the motion TO
adjourn, Representative Baca jumped
to his feet and renewed his motion
which was carried.
The members of the house met in
caucus Immediately after adjournment
to consider minor employees.
Salaries Pared Down.
The republican caucus of both
houses this forenoon decided upon a
reduction of about one dollar, in the
salaries paid extra employees as COM
pared with two and four years ago.
That is to say, instead of the highest
priced employees being paid Sc day,
-
they will be paid only S. day; COM
mittee clerks instead of receiving S.
a day, will receive only 81 day;
porters, messengers, etc, inst cad of
being listed at So will receive only 81
day. This will enable both houses
to give employment to more appli-
cants than otherwise, although fully
one-half will have to go home much
disappointed. Employees are to be dis
trlbuted between the two houses at
ratio OF about to 5, in favor of the
house.

Grief is an Illness

The Osteopath: Grief is an
illness and must be treated as
such. Sorrow, grief and the
emotions caused by all great
misfortunes should be regarded
as akin to acute physical malad-
les. Recent medical observa-
lions show that the physical
results of depressing emotions
are similar to those caused by
bodily accidents, fatigue, chills
partial starvation and loss of
blood. Birds, moles and dogs
which apparently die in conse-
quence of capture and from
conditions that correspond in {
human beings to broken heart,|
were examined after death as
to the conditions of their inter-
nal organs. 1t was found that
the nutrition Of the tissues had@
been interfered with, and theN
substance proper of various VIII
tai organs had undergone deA
generation.

Troubles of An Editor

IFOuDleS OF All E0ltOf
The joys of being the editor
OF a country newspaper, WI en-
looked at from all its phases, is
enough to make the Sultan Of
Sulu forsake his harems, and
take to the quill. There ere
only a few items that, go to
make up the routine that CATS
es the editor to lay awake DIR
ing the night and, finding that
the hour is not yet three, to lay
back on the pillow with a sigh
and wish to heaven it was
morning so that the fun and
AMUSEMENT of the office would
begin. At last the hour arrives
and the editor, covered with
smiles and threadbare panta-
looms, HES himself to the sane
tum, builds the fire, sweeps
out and picks up type from me-
gligent compositors. Gets a buc-
ket or two of water for the tank,
and another for the bench. Then
the copy hook is empty and it's
him for the typewriter to let
loose of a few thinklets that
have accumulated during his
vacation with the broom and
bucket. After dishing up a
galley or two Of what he thinks
is about the proper stuff, the
phone rings and he takes the
notes of an article to be COM
piled later in the day, when
time is not so valuable. Then
So & s. wants their job that
has been on the hook for a day
or two and everything is drop
ped for the time being to at
tend to this piece of work,
which keeps him busy for only
a few moments, as all he has 10
do is to set it, read the proof,
lock up the form and make it
ready on the press. After a
day or so of this the galleys are
ready to be read which takes
considerable time and this out
o. the way, he glances at the
copy hook and the calendar
simultaneously, and finds that
press day and ad copy all come
at the same time, which makes
life still more pleasant. She'd
ding another shirt or two he
digs into the ad copy and after
they are up and in the forms
he looks hastily over the re-
naming proofs and makes Up
the sheet ready for the press.
After locking the forms secur;-
ly he finds that the office boy
has vamoosed and he is compel
led to do the heavy act with a
double six to the press bed by
his lonesome and by this time
he is just beginning to feel like
doing something. After get
ting up a good sweat his atten-
ton is called to the mailer, an
easy job, and before you know
it the papers down to the office
and there's nothing LETT for
the editor to do but tangle
himself up with the forms and
drag them to the back door,
where after getting wet from
head to foot in I've water ard
carrying a few pals for rims
ing purposes, he has the pleas
ure to cart them to the stones
where they await the distribu-
tors attact.
And then some people won
der why articles are left out
and why sometime errors in
names and other matters take
place.
Its a picnic for sure and you
can bet We wouldn't trade
places with any barber in town.
