cAHOON EXPECTS STATEHOOD
ON REPUBLICAN PROMISE

Santa Fe New Mexican.
Il feel confident that we shall get
statehood very soon. Why? Because
IT is evident thai the subterfuges
used to put us off are exhausted. The
fact that the Republican party is pied
ged to give New Mexico Statehood is
sufficient to enlist President Taft's
support for the measure"
This was the declaration made by
z. A. Cahoon, president of the board
of regents of the New Mexico Mill
tary Institute and prominent banker
and Republican of Roswell. Mr.. Ca
hoon is here attending the reunion of
the Masons N was interviewed by a
reporter this afternoon.
Il am confident that Delegate An
drews is doing all in his power to
get statehood" he continued, land any
reports or rumors to the contrary, l.,
for QUE, regard as not only without
foundation but positively absurd. 1
am also confident that President Taft
S for the measure because it was a
plank in the platform on which he
VAS elected. l do not think it will
be long before we are admitted to the
Union because there is no longer any
excuse for keeping us out and the
House and Senate know it
Lack of population? Why we nav
sufficient number of people in the Ter
ritory to warrant statehood. We have
as many people as other territories
had waen they were admitted. This
talk of New Mexico being too tAinly
populated is absurd"
Mr.. Cahoon declared that as a bank
er he finds business conditions in his
county good. He said that the New
Mexico Military Institute is in better
shape han yer before and that the
$780, 900 building now being erected
will likely be finisaed in May. 1t is
being erected to replace the one which
was burned down.
Mr.. Cahoon is regarded as one of
the most prominent Republicans in
New Mexico although he has repeat
eddy declared he is not in politics and
has no aspirations for political honors.

may be some doubt as to whether OR
not Mr.. Bell can be councilman and

these same ordinances. WITH the city

be the intention TO make Bell police
judge and he remain a member OF

would happen, and we believe any
court in the country would throw out
all such decisions.

Although universally used by the an

with different nations. The Scythian
bow was in the form Of the letter c.
and the bow Of the Tartars, descend
ants Of the Scythians, still keeps that

than four feet in length, but so stout
and stiff that it required considerable
strength and skill to use it. 1t is said
that the first Greek bows were made
from the horns Of species Of goat.
the bases being united by means OF a
metallic band. Afterward other mate
rial was used in their manufacture,
but they still retained their original
shape. These bows were too short to
be Of much use, and only small por-
ton of the troops were armed with
them.
The Romans brought the bow to
Britain, where it at once obtained "a
vor and during the middle ages was
extensively used, forming an impor-
tant weapon of the armies of that
period. The English archers were said
to be the finest in the world, and their
skill decided the battles of Crecy, Poi
tiers and Agincourt. The bows used
were of two kinds-the longbow and
the arbalest, or crossbow. The arbalest
was made of steel or horn and was OF
such strength and stiffness that it was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend it and adjust the
string. The arbalesters carried quiz

in the van Of the battle.-St. James

Dr.. Byles shouIdered a Gun and Kept
Himself From Escaping.
One of the most famous of the old
Puritan divines was DR.. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston in 1706 and
who was the first pastor Of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to which
he ministered for more than forty
years.
DIR. Byles was famous as humorist
and wit, and innumerable anecdotes
are related Of his clever quips and re-
torts. He was Jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause Of 1.-The
mother country" against the colonies.
In November, 1777, he was arrested us
a Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined Oh board guard ship
and sent to England with his family
within forty days. The sentence was
afterward committed by the board of
war to confinement in his own house,
a guard being placed over him with
instructions not to permit him to leave
his residence for a moment under any
circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observ-
ing that the sentinel, who, like many
of the colonial soldiers, was simple
rustic, had disappeared and that DR..
Byles himself was pacing up and down
before his own door with musket on
his shoulder, the neighbors crossed the
street to inquire the cause Of this sin
gular spectacle.
"You see." said DR.. Byles, II begged
my guard to let me 60 out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day, but he would not permit me to
stir. argued the point with him, and
he has now gone to get the cider for
me on condition that keep guard over
myself during his absence"

The Dramatic Experience at Two Ant.
arctic Explorers.
G. Il. Borchgrevink. commander Of
the antarctic expedition Of 1898, near
" lost his life by an accident Of ma
ture so peculiar that it Is probable no
other man could duplicate the expert
ence. At the foot of Mount Terror In
February, 1900. he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men, Then. wishing to take a
picture Of the shore. he sent bis boat
back to the vessel to get camera. and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach Before the boat
returned a strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the Outlook:
A roar and a rush. with tremendous
explosions. shook the beach. The
thought came to US that the perpen-
dicular rocks above US were falling.
Then we realized what was taking
place. The mighty glacier immedi.
ately to the west Of Us was giving
birth to an iceberg.
Millions Of tons Of ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud Of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. l sang out
to Jensen. "Now we shall have to face
the wave"
We rushed to the highest point of
our limited beach. four feet above the
sea. We saw advancing on US dark
green ridge with a white crest.
called to Jensen to struggle for dear
life. We clutched the uneven rocks.
with our backs toward the advancing
water. Although it could not have
taken more than seven minutes. the
time seemed long before the water
closed over our heads.
Floating upward. scrambling upon
the rocks, l. tore the nails from my
flesh in my endeavor to keep from be-
ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and
first stood the rock was wet twenty
feet above our heads. 1t was some
what lower when it struck us. Where
the wave had struck with full force
the face Of the rock had been altered.
and rocks were still falling when the
three men in the boat found US. bleed
ing and torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our
right small peninsula of ice protrud-
ed some five feet from the rock, and
the rock itself bent toward the west.
From the moment it struck the curve
of the mountain rock to the west OF
us the wave took Il course more east
erly than where Jensen and stood.
