exhibition at Atlantic City late yester-
day afternoon OF his ability to drop
high explosives on the deck of the
craft. Fearing harm to the officials
and ladies on the yacht Curtiss placed
his missiles so accurately alongside that
spray was thrown over the gowns of the
women. Then, whirling away, Curtiss
shot his plane far out to sea and be

and watchers shuddened at the thought
OF the possibilities had the bombs been

The prisoner, aged 3S, who is totally
blind from having his eyes pierced by
shot in Florida several months ago,
has had thrilling experience. While
in Denton a week ago he said that
sometime ago he met and loved, near
his home, in Michigan, lady OF rich
parentage. His suit, he said, was OBJ
jected to by the lady's parents, and in
order to break off his attention.. they
sent her to Florida. He followed her
there, and renewed his attention. Here
his arrest was ordered.
He said as he had broken no law,
he refused to submit to arrest, and shut
himself up in his boarding house. A
large posse, he said, gathered around
the boarding house, and on looking
from window the load from a gun
fired by someone in the crowd pierced

OVER A ATHOUSAND BUILDING.
BURNED.

A waste of'smoking ruins extending
for two miles around several isolated
buildings represented last night the
town Of Campbellton and the nearby
village of Richardsville, n. B., which
we're overwhelmed Monday by fire
driven before gale. Two lives were
lost during the ten hours the fire
ragged.
Five thousand residents OF Campbell
ton and 400 Of Richardsyille are home
less.
One thousand buildings in Camp
bellton and IS in the village were de-
sroyed.
The combined loss in both places is
estimated at $500, 900.
The total insurance is 81 100000.
Cambellton was the largest cedar
shinglc center in eastern America. All
the mills were destroyed, including the
big plants of the Shives Lumber Com
pany. Richards Lumber Company and
the Moffat Mills. The property OF
these three concerns, in which
American capital was interested, was
valued at $500 600.
Many Of the men who attempted to
stay the conhagration were obliged to
abandon the hose and flee for their
lives when the flames overwhelmed the
hundreds OF wooden buildings OF which
the town was constructed. ~EmberS
from great quantities Of burning
shingles, carried long distances by the
gale, set fires by the score and for ten
hours the destruction went ON. The
flames burned themselves out in Camp
bellton paud Richardsville yesterday
morning, but the forest is still ablaze
at many points.

COMPARE THESE FIGURES.

For purposes of comparison, the
New Mexican alludes to the annual
report mad to the city council OF
Roswell at it's meeting on last Satur-
day evening. Roswell has just about
as NAM inhabitants as has Santa Fe.
but the disbursements of Roswell for
municipal purposes as year were
$97,-340.57 while those of Santa Fe
were only ~ 1000, for two years.
Roswell spent $3.50 ON its streets
and ALLEYS In one year.. Santa Fe had
only $4,000 to owe the expenses for
that purpose in two" years. Roswell
spent $4,000 in one year for it's police
light or as much for those two items
IN one year as Santa Fe had in two"
years for all its expenses. Roswell
paid in n yea $607.S0 for printing.
Santa Fe expended only half as much
in two" years. Roswell spent $52.-
900 and more In two" years one year
on its fire department while Santa
Fe contributed 5000 for that purpose.
Roswell derived in one year from tax
es s23.0S5.22 or as mach as Santa Fe
derives from the same number OF
people in three years. Roswell re-
ceived from occupation tax and licen
ses more than $4,000 last year, or
n sum almost equal to the entire"
revenue OF this city for two years.
Surely. the tax payers of Santa Fe
have no right to complain when they
look at the results they derive from
We small mount OF revenue they are
asked to give toward administering
the affairs of the municipality. in the
light OF the knowledge of what RIOS
well of equal size and population
spends for its city government. But
then Santa Fe Is Republican and RIOS
well Is Deanocratic.-Santa Fe New

was $1,031.221.63, an Increase of al
100000 in a single year. The
assessed valuation of the property in
the territory increased about 81 1000

Las mills. When these facts were
brought 10 the notice of the public II
became apparent, even to the memb-
-rs of the p~lunderbund that something
would have to be done and done
quickly. A commission was appointed
by the governor and 1t was proposed
TO assess property in the territory at
is full cas- value so that the tax rate
could be reduced to four or five mills
and still sufficient revenue could be
raised To continue the reckless extra
vaEance of bne Republican admins
trations. but there was strong objec-
ions to such a course from many
sources and tnis plan was abandoned
as inpracticable.
Two wears ago the territorial tax
levy was IS mills, last year II was
14.l5 and this year ii will be IL mills.
The levy of IL mills this year will
raise as much. if not more. revenue
on account Of the increased amount
OF property in the territory as was
raised by the levy of 13 mills two
years ago and which furnished funds
for an expenditure Of more han a
million dollars during the past fiscal
year. Should the millions of dollars
of property in the territory which es-
capes assessment rear after rear De
returned for taxation this year. the IL
mill rate would furnish funds vita
other of the territory to
cover an expenditure much greater
than that of last year. The reduction
in the tax rate this year is consider
able. but it is not more than half as
much as il might have been.-Santa
