StilweII's Orient Line to Run Through
Trains to Mexican Coast.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 24.-Ad-
vices received here indicate that the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient railroad
will be completed within the next II
months, and in operation between
wichita, Kan, and Topolobampo. on
the west coast of Mexico. Construc-
ton is now being pushed rapidly from
San Angelo to Del Rio. At that point
connection will be made with the Ma
tional Railways of Mexico, giving the
line, just as soon as completed direct
rail connection with Mexico City.
The renewed activity has been made
possible by the fact that President A.
E. Stilwer of the road has just return
ed from London, where he was able
to dispose of $5,OOO,o0o of the first
mortgage bonds of the road. From
Wichita, Kan, the road is in operation
as far southwest as San Angelo, Texas,
and trains are running northeastward
from Chihuahua, Mexico, to station
across the Conchos river. Between
these two termini there is 365 miles
and construction will be pushed as
rapidly as possible to close up this gap.
AS soon as this is done the road can
operate through cars from Wichita to
Chihuahua.

An Increase Over the Same Time Last
Year, However.
Railroad gross earnings show still
further falling off as compared with
earlier months this year, but it is sat
isfactory to note that an increase con-
tinues over the corresponding period
a year ago. The total of all United
States railroads reporting so far for
the first week in August aggregated
$S,354,059, gain of 3.5 per cent over
the earnings of the same roads for the
same time last year. Earnings con-
tinue large in all parts of the country,
and in considering the small increase
for the latest week it should be noted
that the returns a year ago made pro-
nounced gains over the corresponding
period of 1908, SO that the fact that
any increase at all appears this. year
testifies to the very large volume of
current railroad business. In the fol-
lowing table are given the earnings OF
all United States railroads reporting
for the first week in August and the
increases as compared with earnings
of the same roads for the correspond
ing period a year ago; also for the

BIG IRRIGATION PRO-

1t apears likely that those who
recently boughtlots in Parker, at

Los Angeles capitalists now have
their eyes on the region for that
purpose and bill will shortly be
introduced in congress, if it has
not already been today, to pro
vide the necessary legal machin
cry by which this improvement
may be made.

they intend to take water for the

HAVE new WOOL
PLANT
Option Secnred on Rio Grande
Property.

Paul, Minn Angus Brown
president of the Minnesota Wool
Growers association, announed
tonight that the state assOciat-
ion OF wool growers of WiscOn-
SIN, Minnesota, Wyoming and
New Mexico have formed a CO.
operative association and have
obtained an option on the Rio
Grande Woolen mills plant at
Albuquerque, N. NJ, where the
wool of these states will be sent
for manufacture. The object of
the organization is to secure the
highest possible prices for the
growers.
1--WE will do all kinds of knit
ing and manufacturing" said
Mr.. Brown. There is no reason
except trust control for the de
cline in the price Of wool. Far
mers of these tour states will
not have to lose a cent now as
the company will sell direct to
the consumer, using the catalo
que system, and three or four
profits will thus be saved.

INDIAN TRADER MUIR
DERED BY NAVAJO
INDIANS
Old Indian Trader and Guide
Murdered Sixty Miles
North of Gallup

Gallup, N, NJ, June 23.-
Richard Wetherill, brother Of the
Gallup postmaster, and one of
the best known ranchmen, In
dian traders, and guides in New
Mexico, was foully murdered
last night by Navajo Indians at
his ranch at Putnam, n, NJ, six
ty miles north of Gallup. Sheriff
T P. Tale of Mckinley county,
who was in that section when
the killing occurred, arrived in
Gallup this afternoon to secure
fresh horses and a strong poss,
to go in pursuit of the Indians.
According to the story as told
by Tale, Wetherill and some
other stockmen had a dispute
yesterday with a bunch of In
dians over a cattle deal, near the
ranch Wetherill started back to
his ranch house and Tale, who
went over the trail a short time
later found the body of Wetheril
prone in the road pierced by a
number of bullets. Tale imme-
diately rode rapidly to the ranch
and Informed the men there OF
the tragedy. The men however,
were afraid to go out to rescue
the body of Wetherill, as they
said the Indians had left there
short time before threatening to
come back IN a body and kill the
whole settlement.
The sheriff, fearing that the
trouble would assume serious
dimensions. got on his horse and
spurred his way as rapidly a.
possible to Gallup in order to
deputize a strong posse large
enough to cope with a serious
uprising among the Navajos.
Tale plans to capture the slayers
of Wetherill if it takes a pitched
battle with the redskins, and all
his men are armed to the teeth.
The sheriff has called on the COM
manding officer at Fort Wingate
for a detachment of cavalry 70
assist in rounding up the Indians
and arresting the murderers.
Ever since the appearance of
the comet the superS titious re-
servation Indians have been pow
wowing and in a continual state
of excitement, and the trouble
with Wetherill appears to have
been all that was needed to
cause violent outbreak.

GOOD NEWS FOR DRY
LAND OWNERS
Bill Permitting Them to Leave
Their Homesteads.

ted Press dispatchin in The Repub
lican Yesterday morning to the
effect that a bill had passed the
house allowing homesteaders to
leave their claims until water is
available, was received with con
siderable enthusiasm at this
place.
1t will be remembered that
when this same measure was in
troduced early in the present ses-
sion the information became cir
culated that the bill had become
law and not a few ofthe home
leaders who are situated with
out the reclamation zone and
without the watered district also
we're preparing to avail them
selves of the privilege. The mat
ter was finally taken up with
Delegate Ralph Cameron who
Explained the situation stating
that the bill had only been intro
luced not having received any
,ttention from either the house
pr senate further than the intro
luction.
The information as yet is rath-
r meager as to the qualifications
If the measure but it is believed
1T this place that it applies to
the land under the reclama ton
projects or the land which is in
GUIDED within the reclamation
zone. This opinion is probably
based upon the sapposition thu:
lomesteaders who are without
The reclamation zone and who
may not get water for a long
term OF years or possibly never
from any government project
will not be subject to the privile-
ges to be granted in the event
that the measure should become
a law. However the lands with
out the reclamation zone may be
taken under the desert land entry
act or the communication plan
which is in no wise as exactins
as the regular homestead entry
which calls for the actual five
year residence in order to estab
lish title to the land. On the other
hand if the provision which has
passed the house shall become a
law within the next six month";
there is a bare possibility that il
will not benefit the homesteaders
who made entry under the regu
lar reclamation act, for it is un-
derstood that in the event that
the reservoir is filled by the sum
mer rains or nearly filled that the
farm plats now being prepared
for the purpose of forwarding to
the secretary of the interior for
his approval will provide for the
watering of practically all of the
lands under the canal systems
which IN reality takes in practi-
cally all of the homestead land
within the reclamation zone

gave rise to the impression that the
public domain was legitimate property
for the INSCRIPTIONS and that it was
not contrary to good morals to cir

manner of disposition resulted in the
passage of large areas of valuable land

to the hands of persons who felt little
or no responsibility for promoting the
national welfare through their develop

1.-THE truth is that title to millions
of acres of public lands was fraud
ulently obtained, and that the right
to recover a large part of such lands
for the government long since ceased
by reason of statutes of limitation"
