not required by law. Many no
tices have not been received by
the property owners by virtue OF
the fact that the property has
changed hands in the meantime,
the advertisement of the delin-
quent tax list in many instances
developing this fact. Unfortunate
ly many taxpayers do not examine
their tax receipts as to the prop
erty upon which they have made
payment. The treasurer does his
best to get their property correct
ly described but he can do no
more than the assessor gives him
in the list, unless property is spe-
officially described by the taxpay-
er. Hundreds of letters are re
ceived stating Enclosed find
check to PAY MY TAXES. No
thing more, sometimes less. Not
being gifted with supernatural
powers, the treasurer makes the
receipt in accordance with the
assessor s schedule made pos
sibly a year or more before that
time, and if property is omitted
the taxpayer has only himself to
blame.
Collections of interest alone
for the month of December, 1910
in the treasurer office were
$4,9O5.22
This amount is apportioncd a
mong county, state, school, dis
trict and town funds and exceeds
the salary of the treasurer for
the year and the cost of adver-
tising as well.
During the present year county
bonds to the amount of $17.50h
have been redeemed and $4,000
is now on hand in the county
bond sinking fund for the same
purpose.
All county warrants have been
paid in cash by the treasurer
since 1906 without discount or de
lay. The court house debt has
been paid in full and the county
funds show a substantial cash
balance on hand.
The indiccs to tax payments
including 1909, and other records
are up to date, including 1909,
and other records and indices have
been introduced, facilitating the
transaction of business in the
treasurer's office.
Harry Russell has served the
people of this county faithfully
and well, and never in a thousand
years will they have n more cap
able, obliging or painstaking of
ficial. He retirrs with the res
pect, esteem and friendship of all
and may well rest upon the lau-
rels he has won.
The good roads movement in
Conejos county practically dates
back to the election in the fall
of 1906 of Luther A. Norland and
Henry G. Mullins as county com
missioners. Mr.. Norland has eve
been a strickler for good roads
and he found a ready and willing
ally in this respect in Mr.. Mul-
ms. They have been constant in
their efforts to make the roads
of Conejos county second to none
in tn state and a little data on
what they have done will be
great surprise to many of our
readers.
During little more than four
years that they have been act
ivc in behalf of better roads, $72,
10000 has been spent wisely and
well on our public highways. to
say nothing of the vast amount
of state money that has been Sc
cured for roads and bridges in
Conejos .ounty through the eff
forts of Senator Adams and the
members of the house of repre-
sentatives, and the following pub
lie works have been completed or
are in process of construction as
result of these appropriations:
One concrete bridge at Alamosa
over the Rio Grande river.

Eastern Markets
 Yesterday

BOSTON, Aug. 21.-The whole list of rails and industrials was heavily sold again today. In spite of encour- aging strike news stocks poured out from all points. After the first two hours the reaction was checked but no rally resulted and we look for a continuation of present downward movement.
 In the Boston market the principal activity was in Amster stocks. shan non was strong and in good demand but Arizona Commercial and Boston Corbin. were weak with heavy liquida- ton The Arizona Commercial bonds sold down to 3e and it looks as if the property would have to be reorgan- ized and that the stockholders would not get much.

COPPER QUEEN WILL
 CONTINUE IN PIMA
Company Said to Be Satisfied With Indications in the
 CatalinaS

TUCSON, Aug. 21.-Work on the Reid-LeatherwOod-Gieseman mines in the Catalinas is 10 be continued. The owners of the property and the Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining com pany which holds the options on these properties have agreed to the exten- sion desired and the development Of he mineral lands is to be continued along the same lines that it has thus far followed. What the terms of the extension were are not stated bus the options are continued
 E. H. Sawyer, manager. at Camp Apache is at present in Tucson and yesterday told a press representative that satisfactory arrangements had been made between the company and the owners and that would would be continued. He has recommended to his company that this be done and the fact that this recommendation is being followed shows that enough is though. of the property by his superiors to continue the expenditure Of money upon it's development
 Speaking of the Catalina properties yesterday Mir. Sawyer said: q under stand that from time to time there have been reports that we have made some big strikes ill our work and that the fact that I have never announced any such strike give rise to the in. pression that we were concealine them. Such has not been the case. We are working to develop the prop erty and ascertain whether it is a mine. There have been no hig or i'm portant strikes to announce We meet from time to time with encour- aging results and these have been such that l felt warranted in advising that the work be continued. That the officials of the company feel the same way is indicated by the fact that we are to continue. What the reasons for asking for extension were I do not know That does not come in the province of my duty. There were undoubtedly good reasons, how ever.
 Mr Sawyer added that the same force of men now employed at Camp Apache would be continued and that work would proceed with the develop ment as it had been. Beyond the fact that such work and the results obtained had warranted the advice that work should be continued there is nothing further to be said. Sink ing and drifting is going on steadily and if the property bears the indics ten of a mine with further work il will undoubtedly be taken over.

Me, was & practical farmer. He was a man of learning. also. and a wit. Professor Kittredge, in his delightful miscellany, The old Farmer and His Almanac, says MT. Deane, when a tutor at Harvard. made one jest, which has since been falsely credited to many men.
 A visitor to whom he was exhibit ing the curiosities in the college mu- scum noticed a long rusty sword and asked to whom 1t belonged.

POULTRY NOTES.

Tn feeding either sweet or sour milk be sure the troughs are clean.
 Nests should be kept comparative ly dark and as clean Rs possible.
 Turkeys should not bo allowed to roost In the poultry house with chick ems.
 Bright red combs and wattles usu- ally indicate a thrifty and healthy flock.
 Make the laying hens feel comfort able and eontented- and they will do better.
 Plenty of sunlight is essential in poultry quarters. Darkness is con- ducive to disease.
 Do you keep an egg record? Begin now if you have never done it before. Set down the number you get every day.
 All chickens that contract stubborn OF contagious disease should he killed fl they do not yield to treatment with reasonable ease.
 Sloppy mashes are not good for feeding chickens continually. and if used excessively will lead to weak ened constitutions and disease among the flock
 Train your fowls to run towards you instead of running from you with fright every time you come around. It ts more pleasurable, and also pays in Collars and cents.
 Beginners should not start by try ing to raise several different kinds of poultry. Better eonflne the efforts to one variety. and then have those strictly frst-cless.
 Nearly all the successful poultry rsissrs make 8 speciality of only one or two varieties. They find that course Is more profitable than to ex- pertinent with a half dozen or more breeds
 Many who embark in poultry rais- fng think it Is only 8 pleasant pas tine. Those who are experienced, however. know that. like any other profitable industry. if requires skill and experience. With these oualifica, tons there is money in it most surs.

BOOKIEs ARE GIVEN
HARD JOLT On
FOLLY LEVY
Jalisco Handicap Is Won
Easily Won by Levy.
Third Race Fast.

The bookies received an awful wal
lop on Follie Levy in the Jalisco sell
ing stakes Tuesday afternoon. Follie
was played to the limit, opening at 4
to and closing to 10 with the ma
jority Of the play aimed her way.
Frank Mullens was the Aonly contender
in the betting and proved to be the
only serious one in the race. Levy got
off last and was slow to get going,
but once the speed machinery was IN
1imbered she was up and doing. When
Follie Levy was ready to make her SUI
preme move, she ran all over Frank
Mullens and she just romped to the
wire without any opposition to speak
Of from the field. Bobby Boyer was
third after running a consistent race.
Third Fast Race.
The third race was showing almost
as much class as the selling stake race
Tuesday. Five fast ones were entered
IN this with Green Seal the favorite and
Maxim's Pride a hot second at the pre-
vailing odds of two to one. Green Seal
got away good and looked to be the
winner. Balronia laid in close behind
the pace until the stretch turn, caught
Green Seal firing and ran away with
the purse in the final furlong. Vree-
land had been saving ground for just
such a move and slipped into second
place ahead Of DeerfOot and Green Seal,
who was stopping at the end
Mexico Winner.
Mexico has won q race even if it can
not win battle. Mexico, the colt, won
the first race Tuesday from a field OF
sporty youngsters. Mexico ran a good
race all the way. kept in the lead and
avoided the mixup on the stretch turn
and was coming on to win when the
others were punched. Wooltex was sec
ond after having a little of the rough
shedding at the turn. He was probably
best. Bill Lamb was third because he
did not extend himself enough to go
higher up.
Amigo laid off early in the second
race but MCGEE gave him his head
when ready and he outgamed F. z.
Shaw at the finish after the latter had
made all the pace. Roberta was caught
in a pocket and the best he could get
was fourth with Hidden Hand in third.
Del FTiar won the four and one-half
furlong race for 3Yearolds, fifth on
the card. War Jig and Lady Tendi
raced each other for the lead position
in the first part Of the race, but tired
and allowed Del Frier to take the lead
and finish ahead of the rest Dubois
was second after making up consider
able ground. The Cat was third
L NJ Eckert won the one mile elias
sic which closed the days racing. He was
well up once, was taken back and then
came on in time to finish after an ef-
fort. Sir Edward set all the pace, hung
