NEW MEXICO FAIR AND
RESOURCES EXPOSITION
TWenty-Ninth Annual Fair to be
Held at Albuqusrque-Presi
dent Taft to be Entertained
En- Route to Ell Paso

The Twenty-nihth New Mexi-
co Fair and Resources Exposi-
tion at Albuquerque, October
11-16 will have the merit of
being new. The management
belives that the people have
tired of the same old things year
after year and has been hunting
novelties. 1t has found them.
One of the most interesting is
the Southwest Marathon, the
first long distance endurance
race to be run in this part of the
country. Another brand new
attraction here will be the
Stroebel airship-a real airship
that flies; One tn at ha made
| flights b fore thousands of
wondering spectators in all parts
of the United States a nd the
greatest dirigible balloon ever
invented. The immense ship Of
the air will make daily and
nightly flights over the city and
fair grounds. Another brand
new thing in the line of sports is
t he game of Pushball, This
will be the first time this game
has ever been played in the
southwest or for that matter in
the Who'll west aud it promises to
be the most exciting innovation
i n the history of the carnival
sports at Albuquerque. The
biggest novelty of the bunch,
however, is President Taft, whO
visits Albuquerque for the first
time during the fair. A re-
ception to President Taft is
being prepared which will smash
all records for enthusiastic dem
onstrations in the Southwest.

LAND GOBBLERS AT cERRO
False Entries and Efforts to
Keep Out Bona Eide
Settlers.

A report from Taos, New Mex
leo, says:
More or less trouble has been
caused in the valley around Oerro
by the alleged attempt of a num-
Der of Americans who came in
here a few years ago to keep cut
the incoming bona tide settlers
by gobbling the land in an illegal
manner. 1t is charged that these
so-called land hogs have obtain
ed thousands of acres by arrang-
ing with natives for the latter to
file on land and then buying (?)
out their holdings. After a well
known woman of Cerro fled on a
desert claim the land holders
referred to claimed that it was
not desert land and an officer of
the department of the interior
arrived to investigate.
1t was found that there were
some so-called homesteads taken
up by members of the families Of
the large landholders which were
not being lived up to in the man.
ner prescribed by law. These
homesteads will be contested and
it is understood further charges
will be made against the would
be gobblers.

70, NEW MEXICO. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1909.
President WILL MISS BEST SCENERY
Will Pass Through New Mexico
at Night-StOps for Short
Time at Albuquerque.

The New Mexico Review has
the following to say about the
presidents visit to the south
west.
1t is greatly to be regretted
that President Taft will no t
make a longer stay in New Mex
leo. The fact that he will sc e
nothing of the rich an d fertile
Rio Grande valley; that he will
catch no glimpse of the prosperity
of the Pecos valley, that he will
not see the grandeur of the noun
tains and the sparkle of brooks
and rivers. will be q distinct
loss to him and the Territory
from the car window alone, AS
he will see Albuquerque only at
night, he will get no idea of the
rich farms and fields on all sides
of the Duke City and his re-
collection of the Territory may
be not much better than that of
Senator Beveridge, whose visit
to New Mexico has remained q
sore spot to the Territory to this
day. OF course President Taft
will make allowances for all that
but there would have been no
greater delight to New Mexico
than an opportunity to show the
chief executive of the land, that
it is really a fertile, a rich, a
beautiful, a most promising
portion of the United States.

HOW TO USE THE PHONE
A Study of the Methods of Some
Business Firms Which Help
the Operator and User

How best to utilize the service
of the telephone has led to q
study of methods on the part Of
many large and some smaller
business concerns and not only
has this resulted in a vast saw
in gOf time bu a certain "eti-
quette of the telephone" has
been established which has a
tendency to obviate many an
noyances and to smooth over the
rough places and sooth the
nerves and the temper Of many
sensitive souls. Th e telephone
becomes q nuisance when it is
abused and VIII e n persons a t
either end indulge in brotracted
or sens seless repetitions of
Hello" "Who is this?" an1 he
like.
How much better n d more
businesslike in answering t h e
telephone to abolish the sense
less and rude salutation Hello"
and to at once give the name Of
the firm. For instance "This is
the First National bank"
This is Mr. Browns residence"
and how much more satisfactory
to the calling parity conveying
to hi IN, as it does, the
knowledge that he has the right
party, or if the wrong one the lack
of excuse for useless talk which
monopolizes the circuit to t h e
exclusion of more important
business. By the universal
adoption of such a rule less con-
fusion would arise a n d Gen
trails, and the subscribers
nerves would remain in a better
condition. Central is, blamed
for much, almost everything,
but a little assistance an d
patient cooperation on the part
of tn e subscriber would go a
long way toward improving the
service, something which t h e
telephone company is constantly
striving to effect. The person at
the telephone should be pre-
pared, instantly the operator re-
spends, to give tn e number
wanted, not from memory un.
Hess re ecently refreshed BY
reference to the directory, or, il
a long distance call, the name
