TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.

Southern Italy and Sicily was
visited Monday morning by the
most awful earthquakes of modern
times. The loss of life already
known exceeds that of any pre-
vious disaster recorded in Europe
or America. According to yester-
days official estimate 10000
people persisted. All that part of
the island northeast from the great
volcano, Etna, also a group of small
islands lying north of Sicily, and
a district on the mainland, have
been devastated. Already there
has been prompt response to the
for aid that have been
made, and the civilized nations of
the world are vieing with each
other in substantial contributions
for the relief of the sufferers.

The following dispatch to the
Pueblo Ch:eftain from Alamosa,
will prove to be quite news item
to the residents and taxpayers of
Conejos County.
"Alamosa, Dec. S.-Committee-
men to present the plea of the res
idents of those portions of Conejos
and Costilla counties to the legis-
lature in the effort that is being
made to establish a new county in
the San Luis valley were named at
a mass meeting held this afternoon
in Alamosa.
Several hundred citizens gath
cred here to consider the PROPOSE
tions and to hear the report of the
report of the committees that have
been investigating the proposition.
A. L. Moss was made chairman
and Ira G. Green secretary. F. ID.
Stanley was chosen to present to
the meeting the facts obtained
during the investigation.
According to the facts present
ed, there is in Conejos county an
area of l, ,4O7 square miles.
The area it is proposed to with
draw is POO square miles, the area
remaining being ] POI square miles.
The present area of Costilla
county is LAG square miles. The
area proposed to withdraw is 5O4
square miles. The area remaining
,242 square miles.
The area of the new county will
be 7O4 square miles. 1t will have
an assessed valuation approximat-
ing 100000. The present tax
rates of Conejos and Costilla coun-
ties are q and % mills. Figuring
the tax rate of the new county at
y mills, the revenue from the es-
timated valuation would reach an
nually 100000. 1t is figured that
the cost of improvements for the
new county including the cost of
transcribing the records, will reach
$4,000, which sum could be re-
tired in twenty years with levy
of one-seventh of l per cent.
THE present Indebtedness of
Conejos county of Sl25,OOO, and
available funds are $4,000, leav-
ing n net Indebtedness of SS5, 900.
1t is figured that the proportion of
the Indebtedness that should be
assumed by the new county is 80
per cent of about $33.15O There
is at the present time no indebted
ness in Costilla county.
"As to the expense of maintain
ing the new county government, it
is figured that the annual salaries
will be $4,000; heat, light, etc, ST.
800; and an emergency fund of S5,-
600; interest on 100000 bonds at
6 per cent, will bring the total ex-
pense up to S20,5O0 On the re-
ceipts of $4,000 annual income
this will be liquidated in ten years.
"The following committee was
named to present the proposition
to the Legislature and urge its en-
dorsement: Conejos county, Chris
Walrich, f. d. Stanley, r. M.
Born; Costilla county, Messrs. L.
n Foster, Etherton and Hardin
