There was an air OF quiet around the
capitol today, as Governor Mills.
Judge McFfe, Clerk Sena and others
are out OF the city Acting Governor
Nathan Jaffa appointed three notaries:
Frank II. Strong OF Bernalillo county,
at Albuquerque, and James H. Jack
son of Eddy county, at Artesia, and
James H. Paxton at Las Cruces.
Mr.. Jaffa will be acting governor
probably for a fortnight or more, dur
ing Governor Mills absence.
Territorial Engineer Vernon L. Sui
liyan has returned from Carlsbad and
Roswell, where he went to study the
road building problem. Mr. Sullivan
said that it can be understood why the
trade of eastern New Mexico has been
going to Texas rather than cross seven
miles of deep sand when one consid-
ers that it is no unusual sight to see
a loaded wagon pulled by fourteen
horses and mules when that sand has
to be "waded" through. The territory
will assist in the building of a sand
clay road from Carlsbad to the plains
country, several thousands of dollars
having already been pledged by resi-
dents who will be benefited by such an
improvement.
Mr.. Sullivan who was instrumental
in getting the territory to require
bond from those seeking water rights
to show evidence of their good faith,
was much interested in an article sent
him from Denver stating that the r.
rigation Congress, whose board of gov
ernOrs and board of control now are
meeting in Pueblo, are seeking the
scalps of the wildcat irrigation pro-
moters. Registrar Jefferson made the
speech of the day denouncing wildcat
irrigation companies and declared that
! ''it is now up TO the congress to ex-
commended that all such companies
be denied space for exhibits at the
coming session of the Irrigation Cen
gress.

1t was stated at the office of the SUI
perintendent of public education that
the Mora County Institute which opens
today at Wagon Mound is the only one
in the territory to hold an eight weeks
session or summer school. Two weeks
attendance is required of teachers and
! those who attend four weeks of sum-
mer school receive compensation. Pro-
fessor ]. S. Hofer of East Las Vegas,

tute.
! A Big Trout Order.
| Fish and Game Warden Gable today
placed a large trout order, not at a
hotel, but with the Colorado hatchery.
He asked for 100000 "troutlets" which
he will use in stocking the trout
streams of the territory. The fish
order will be filled between August 1
and 10. Mr.. Gable was much amused
at clipping sent him by a Buffalo
New York angler announcing that a
New Yorker had caught 10 IL pound
( llOuI anu Nao lllloll ihdL nS Aeio
violated the law by such heavy
catch. He replied that he began fish
! ing for the trout late at night and did
not land the monster until early the
following morning and therefore his
haul was two days catch and not in
violation of the trout law
That Indian Trouble.
Captain of the Mounted Police Form
off, Supt. Crandall of the Indian
School and Francis Wilson, attorney
for the Pueblo Indians have returned
from Cochiti where they were sent by
Governor Mills to investigate the al
legged Indian trouble. Governor Mills
was called up on the telephone Friday
evening by a settler saying that there
was an Indian insurrection over land
matters and that military protection
; was needed. It apears that the Cochi.
ii Indians had notified several set
tiers that if they did not remove their
fences from what the Indians claim is
their land they would remove them for
f the settlers. Trouble was feared but
Captain Fornoff said that quiet reign.
=, ed there when he and his companions
arrived on the scene. 1t remains to be
seen how the matter will be adjusted
for there is said to have been trouble
. brewing for some time over the bound
; aries of lands owned by the Indians
and Spanish-speaking settlers.
