The BreMerS'S.

Washington, D. c., June S.-The
first formal session OF the United States
Brewers Association convened today
with the annual address of President
Carl J. Holster President Holster
opened his speech with the statement
that the backbone Of the prohibition
wave which for two or three years had
threatened to annihilate the brewing
business of the country, had been
broken. Beer he said is without ques-
ton the popular drink. It's popularity
may have been checked or restricted
here and there by prohibition hysterla,
or local option experiment, or by the
folly and shortsightedness of some men
in the saloon business; but eventually
its sale will be as stable and well organ
lied as any food product or beverage,
and beer, he said, is both. He pointed
out that that failure of the temperance
movement could be laid to the fact that
the public was getting to understand
and realize that beer is absolutely pure
and nourishing and that it is really 4
temperance beverage.
Representative II. S. Boutell, OF Hi
nois, was the principal speaker before
the association today. Mr. Boutell
dwelt at length on the Importance OF
the brewers industry to the country
at large. He said that large part Of
the revenue of the farmer is directly
due to the brewer, and that the United
States government derives more from
its LIQUOR tax than from any other
source other than customs. Last year
he stated the total income from inter
nal revenue amounted to S246, 2l2,
G43. 80, being over twenty five per cent
of the total income for the year. Vi
this amount the brewing industry
contributed to the treasury seven pei
cent.
According to report by the hoarC
of trustees of the association, made
today, beer sales for the fiscal ycal
1910 increased 2,Sl5, ia barrels
The report says that in spite OF the
prohibition movement, and OF the van
boast of the anti saloon league, thai
there are now 1000, 600 people living
in dry" territory, the beer sales fol
the current fiscal year have increased
5 per cent and that the volume OF the
beer business of this year will prove tc
be- larger even than that of 1908
which was the banner year in th'
brewing trade Of the United States
The report points out that prohibition
has promoted moonShinc and quote

to the House committee on approprl
atoms to that effect.

Tho British Parliament.

London, JuneS.-Thc first parlia men
under the reign Of George Y began to-
day. The liberals, in keeping with their
promise made Immediately after the
Death of the late King Edward, amour
ccd that they were willing 10 postpone
their campaign against the House OF
Lords until the new king becomes more
familiar with his duties, but they again
insisted that the conservatives take ~"
advantage Of the truce IN IN effort t"
win support for the lords. II Is not be-
Iicvcd that the agreement between the
factions will last more than two weeks.
Each side is suspicious OF the other
and it is believed inevitable that some
OF the leaders will take step that Will be
considered a breach of the truce and
thereby launch the old fight which

RATTLE OF NEW ROSS.

This is the 10TH anniversary OF the
battle Of New Ross, County Wexford,
Ireland, which resulted in the Irish
completely routing the British after be-
ing repulsed by the enemy four times
amid frightful carnage on both sides;
In this battle the Irish were greatly
handicapped by lack of proper arms,
and this made the victory doubly
earned.
In after years much was said and
written about this battle, and perhaps
nothing said OF it was more appropriate
than the following lines delivered in 4
speech many years aftervard, which
follow:
There is no one that has an Irish
drop OF blood in his veins that needs
be ashamed Of the heroes Of '95. They
fought for six days and with a. very
poor outfit OF war, only which they bad
captured from the enemy.

Popular Young Albuquerque
Girl Becomes Bride Of Tai
ented Young Newspaper Man
of Chicago.

Simplicity and impressiveness
marked the marriage at ) o'clock last
evening of Miss Constance Sellers,
daughter of Colonel and Mrs. d. *. b.
Sellers of this city, to Harry Drum
of Chicago. The young couple were
united together for life by Archdeacon
w. e. Warren of st. Johns Episcopal
church, the wedding being solemnized
at the home of the BRIDES parents,
which was fragrant and beautiful
with flowers sent by nan friends.
The bride was given away by her
father, Colonel Sellers, and was at
tended by Miss Hazel Cox. charming
in the role OF bridesmaid Charles
Weber was the best man.
Miss Sellers. now Mrs. Drum, has
lived in Albuquerque since childhood,
and since reaching the grown up
stage, which has been not so very long
ago, has been an acknowledged DeIIe,
considered by all one of the most
beautiful girls in the city. AS a bride
she was Ideally pretty; a prettiness
much emphasized by the simplicity of
her gown, as she wore her travelling
dress. a gray tailored suit worn with
gray shoes and gloves, and a black
hat.
Immediately following the ceremony
the young couple and their friends
were driven to the station in the big
Thomas touring car which was the
beginning Of the brief romance and
happy elimination of yesterday. Some
few weeks ago Mr.. n Mrs. Drum
made acquaintance which ripened
into love, seated in the tonneau of the
same Thomas which had gone out
TO meet the pathfinding ear. and, as
1t happened, Miss Sellers fate,
When delayed No. 4 arrived last
night, enterprising friends of the
newly weds, who had previously pla-
.carded their trunks and suit cases
made themselves otherwise heard,
pursued them with rice and old shoes
and the beating of drums into the
train. 1t was a very gay scene and
the most noise heard about the station
for some moons. Scores of friends Of
the bride gave her joyous "bon yoy-
age
Mr.. Drum is a talented young news
paper man of Chicago, and possesses
a pleasing personality which won him
many friends during his brief stay in
Albuquerque. That he has stolen one
CT the city's fairest daughters does but
more forcibly proclaim his many adj
mirable qualities. Mr.. and Mrs. Drum
will make their home in Chicago.

pense assessed against the abutting
property became a lien and If 1t was
not paid for in thirty days after the
completion OF the improvement, the
city clerk should issue tax bills
against his property to be filed with
the probate clerk and constitute a
lien against the property.
That. in my opinion, could he avaid-
ed in this way. and that is the prac-
tice in El Paso where this system is
In use.
Immediately after the awarding of
the contract by the city council, as
provided for in the Act of 1903, the
contractor could go to the property
owner and enter into his contract TO
do this work in accordance with the
terms Of that contract; namely, to ac-
cept the contract, one-fifth of the
amount of the expense to be paid up
on the completion of the work and
the balance TO be paid in fou equal
annual installments in accordance
with the terms of the contract, and
this contract to constitute a lien up
on the property for the payment of
this mount. These contracts to be
subsequently assigned to the city as
collateral for the payment of the
amount of the expense of the improve
ment.
If the property owner desired to
take advantage Of such contract, |
can see no reason and know of no
law that would prevent the execution
of such a contract and the carrying
out of its terms, but If the property
owner refused to enter into any such
contract and if he should refuse to
pay for the improvements when they
were completed or within thirty days
thereafter, then ii would be necessary
to proceed strictly under the provis-
ions of the Act of 1903 and issue tax
bills against his property and file
them with the probate clerk where
upon they would become a lien against
the said property in accordance with
the terms and provisions of the said
Act of 1908.
And the Act of 1903 provides for
the foreclosure of this lien against
the property in the same manner
that mortgages and other liens are
foreclosed.
/ have examined the laws OF the
territory of New Mexico quite CAREFUL
ly and it is my opinion that they
provide fully for the street pavement
and other street improvements and
the methods by which this may be
done and believe they are Sufficient
ly forcible to permit the operation
Of the Revolving Fund System for the
payment of these improvements.
