Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1909-09-16

The music loving public of Santa
Fe has had numerous opportunities
of enjoying first-class music rendered
by professional artists, but it is a
safe venture to assert that no musi-
clan who has come from the outside
has ever given the satisfaction and
delight that always results when one
of the city's own young ladies, Miss
Virginia Lawrence Bean, appears in
public. Though still in her teens, for
she has seen only eighteen summers
professionals and is steadily rising to
the front ranks Regarded as a San
ia Fe girl, which city she has adopt
ed as her home, she is nevertheless
a native of Old Missouri where at
Hannibal on July 7th in the year
1891, her tiny voice raised its first
musical cry. Scarcely year after
her birth, her parents moved to Du
luth, Minnesota, and it was in this
city that She received her ordinary
schooling and lived most of the time
until she came to Santa Fe three
years ago.
As in the case of poets, so too musi
clans are born, not made. Musical
ability with Miss Bean has ever been
an inherent natural talent, a congen-
ial gift. When but a mere baby two
and a half years old she took keen
delight in initiating her mother who
is an excellent violinist. This she
did at the table by using knife and
fork, saving the one back and forth
over the other. This SO pleased the
grandmother that she at once pur-
a miniature violin which soon
took the place of the dining utensils
Mrs. Bean tuned the instrument so
as to prevent discord and young Miss
Bean with great gusto accompanied
her mother. A convention took place
at Des Moines, Iowa, at which Mrs.
Bean played violin solo, and though
at the time only three years of age,
Miss Bean was on hand with her min
iature instrument and although she
merely drew the bow back and forth
over the strings, the manner in which
she did it, together with the imita-
tive movements of the fingers of her
left hand, caused many people actual
ly to believe that the little lady was
really playing an accompaniment.
Z Still, up to the age of seven
and a half, Miss Bean was not taught
to play the violin. She took great
delight in singing, however, and very

against him, by President Taft who re-
viewed the charges made by L. R.

charges made by CLAWS embraced
only shreds of suspicion without cir

Ballinger to dismiss CLAWS from the

Recommended to Investigate
Real Estate.

The board of equalization of the Ter

who failed to complete their assess

Curry and Quay counties failed to be
ready in time, both counties being
Democratic
Resolution of Board.
We find an increase in assessments
for the year 1909, of about six and one
half millions over 1908, large per
cent of this being on railroads: also
better collections for 1907 than for
any year in the history of the Ter
ritory. ai
We expect the collections for 1908
to be equally as good. We think the
collections could be very materially in
creased if the district attorneys would
be more diligent in the enforcement of
the laws as to collection of delinquent
taxes, as we find that they have been
very negligent in this respect es-
pecially as to land grants; in many in
stances the taxes remaining unpaid on
these lands for number of years.
This year, as in other years in the
past, the assessors of several counties
have not completed their rolls in time
for this meeting as required by law,
thus very much hampering and delay
ing the work of this board
We recommend, that in future occur
rences of this kind, the defaulting as
SCISSORS be removed by the Governor.
We find multiplicity of views and
variance of ideas as to the value of
many large tracts and grants of land;
also that the owners of grants In many
instances, do not return the full acre.
age, the assessors accepting such rem
ditions without question
Therefore we recommend, that
commission of business men be an
pointed to investigate and report infor-
nation for the benefit of this board at
its January, 1910, meeting, as to real
estate or other property that they may
see fit to investigate.

Governor Curry will leave this after
noon at 4:20 o'clock for Albuquerque,
where he will consult an eye specialist
as he is suffering from painful dis
ease of the eyes that has proved very
annoying the past few days. With him
will go Adjutant General R. A. Ford

go on to Clovis to introduce Colonel
Bryan and also to deliver an address

is just completing an inspection of mil

was the taxes of three years on one
bank and of two years on the two
other banks, a total of $4,000. The
compromise will be effected by the
banks paying two-thirds of that
amount and five per cent interest and
will enable the county of Bernalillo to
