Columbia officers have what they be.
lieve to be great catch in the person
of young man giving his name as
| H. Hall. The arrest was made Sum-
day afternoon by Constable Goad, City
Marshal Morgan and Policeman
Stages. The officers had Swallowed
Hall all the morning.
Information was received here from
Franklin that man had suddenly dis.
appeared from there after a suit case
had been broken open and robbed Of
few things Saturday night, and
Hall had mysteriously disappeared.
The officers went to the railroad sta
ton and he did not board the train,
but could not be located.
Hall landed in Columbia Saturday
night after supper, no one seems to
know how, and stopped at the Guest
House for the night. He went to
the restaurant of A. E. Sellars for
breakfast, and later it Is said he ap-
peared at the Guest House and tried
to sell watch, claiming to have
bought it from stranger at the de-
pot for. $1,000
After the arrest was made and Hall
was taken to the Office of the sheriff,
the officers questioned him and at
first he refused to give any name
whatever. Later John w. Jackson,
postmaster at Columbia, was tele-
phoned for and Hall was taken to the
county court room where he was
cross questioned by Jackson, Squire
Guest and a number of the officers,
and 1t was here that he told that his
name was Hall and that he was in the
U. s. secret service and stated that he
was on important business and that
he had credentials to bear him out in
this statement but that he had been
robbed in a hotel in a nearby town
and that his credentials and acme
checks and receipts had been stolen
at the same time. But when asked
what town or hotel it was he refused
to say.
After careful examination by Post
master Jackson the officers were con-
vinced that he was not government
official and Sheriff Goodwin and Con-
stable Goad searched him.

NEW CONST|TU-
TONS READY FOR
NHE VERDICT

XIV 7 ITH no unforeseen obstacle
M arising, New Mexico and Ari-
IONA will become states before
ahother year is scratched off the calen-
dAr
4 During the past year the enabling act
for each Of the territories was passed
by congress and the people of each
commonwealth have drawn their con-
fstitutions. The conventions at which
the constitutions were prepared have
only recently completed their work and
the constitutions are now before the
people for approval or disapproval be-
fore submission to the congress Of the
United States and the president for ac-
ton.
With the approval of the constitution
by congress, the two commemorative
will proceed to the election of their
state officers and it is fully expected
that by next December the states of
Arizona and New Mexico will have their
own senators occupying seats in the
halls OF congress at Washington.
The Two Constitutions.
The constitution of New Mexico was
prepared by g Republican convention
and that of Arizona by a Democratic
organization. The two constitutions
are widely different and that Of New
Mexico is generally considered the more
conservative. The New Mexico consti-
tuition embodies the referendum only,
while Arizona's provides for the refer
endum, the recall and the initiative and
the recall applies to the judiciary as
well as to other officers. New Mexico
terms, and none are eligible for reelec-
ton, while in Arizona officers will
serve for two years only.
The steps thus far taken in the d.
rection Of statehood by the territories
have greatly stimulated business
throughout each, and many new enter
prises have taken shape since the pas
sage Of the enabling act. The towns
and villages of each territory have
grown rapidly during 1910 and many
new enterprises have been undertaken,
including the promotion of number OF
new gigantic mining enterprises, the
construction Of new railroads, the in
auguration Of a number of very con-
siderable irrigation projects and the
general development of the country.
Rapid Growth.
Throughout the two territories, mu
nicipa1 improvements have been extern
sive and in keeping with the general
advance of the communities, and no
where in the country are towns of the
same size the equal in progressiveness
of those of Arizona and New Mexico.
Farming has been generally advanced
very largely in New Mexico during the
past year and great stimulus has been
given to the citrus fruit industry in
the Salt river valley Of Arizona by the
completion of the Roosevelt dam.
About Yuma there has also been
large increase in land values, due TO the
completion Of the Laguna dam across
the Colorado river.

XVII HILE the city of FL Paso boasts
M more paved streets than any
w other city in Texas Of equal
si-the county of FL Paso lays IN
disputed claim to the finest system Of
Eoadways in the country.
There are 81 miles of asphalt ma
cadam roadway in the state of Texas.
This is a sample of the way Ell Paso
and FL Paso county has been doing
things in the past two years. During
the year, 81 6-10 miles of new road
have been constructed in FL Paso coun-
ty, connecting Ell PasO directly to the
upper and lower valleys.
The road from Courchesne to the
state line at Anthony has been complet-
ed and is now being used by the upper
valley ranchers who are bringing their
produce 10 the FL Paso markets This
road is of the best quality of con-
struction, II feet wide and is one of
the really fine driveways out of FL
Paso. 1t connects with the experiment
al piece of roadway which extends from
old Fort Bliss to Courchesne. Clint and
San Elizario have been connected by a
piece of asphalt macadam roadway two
and half miles in length. From Clint
to Fabens there is to be seven and one
half miles of new road put down as
rapidly as possible, two and half
miles Of it being already completed.
From Ysleta to Clint there are nine
miles Of this paving.
Fifty Miles of Highway.
There are now so miles of paved high
way in the county, exclusive of the city
paving. This extends from the state
line at Anthony to the lower end Of
the valley and is the finest that engin-
eering skill can construct With the

ones, the road building in the county
has been completed for the present, the
only piece now under contemplation be-
ing a short lateral from Clint to the
foothills north of the road. 1t is esti
mated that $3.50, 900 has been spent for
roads within the county during the past
three years, which has put FL Paso
county in the first rank of good road
counties Of the state. Concrete bridges
have also been constructed on all Of
these improved roads.
There is now a stretch of asphalt
topped macadam road in FL PasO county
20 miles in length, extending from the
northern boundary of the county on the
New Mexico line at Anthony, south to
Fabens. below Ell Paso.
Great Highway.
The officials of the territory of New
Mexico and the county of Dona Ana in
that territory are now constructing a
roadway south from Las Cruces to con-
meet with the FL Paso road on the north
and when this is completed it will add
another % miles to the available good
roads over which FL Pasoans may drive
automobiles or do business. 1t is the
ultimate intention of New Mexico Off
Gals to construct highway from its
northern boundary south to the FL
Paso county line and much of this work
has already been completed in the
northern part of the territory; it is
known as The Scenic Highway" Eff

PLANS TO DISPOSE
Of SEWAGE and
GARBAGE

w MODERN sewage and garbage
a disposal plant is to be one of the
New Years presents to the city,
plans having been adopted by the city
fcounAn and contracts awarded for the
construction. The initial cost is 500,
600, but the plant will be so construct
ed that additions may be added ar any
time. Finally, the plant will represent
an expenditure approximating that of
similar establishments in the large1
cities.
Allied with the new system will be tie
complement of sewers already o6n-
structed. and the storm sewers, a NAM
Der of blocks of which have been com
pleted the past year.
The construction Of the sewage and
garbage disposal plants is another step
in the fight FL Paso is waging to eff
feet civic reform and civic cleanliness
the results Of which are already appar-
ent Instead of using the Rio Grande
for a sewer, the sewage is to be utiliz-
ed, be cleansed, according to present
plans, and used to make the system, in
part, self-sustaining. The garbage is TO
be destroyed.
To Cause Property Increase.
The completion of the plant will re-
suit in an advance of values in the city
as property located in the outlying dis
tricts is to benefit under the new
scheme. Considerable of the suburban
property tracts are already supplied
with the sewage system as 1t exists at
present, but under the new plans the
service is to be bettered and extended.
This is to be especially true in the
southern sections of the city and along
the river, where modern improvements
and safeguards for healthfulness have
a OF haon no
erty in that section is considered one Of
the valuable assets of the city. al
though it is inhabited largely by Next
cans.
The plans for the allied plants were
prepared by the Public Works Engin-
eering company, of Portland, Oregon, a
company that has invaded western ter
ritory as often as it has landed con-
itracts in the west, and that the plant is
TO be as near perfection as possible
and up TO the standards required by the
boards Of health in number of states,
Is guaranteed by a. sufficient bond.
Storm Sewers.
Other improvements made by the city
the past year in the sewage extension
scheme, include the construction of the
Oregon and Main street storm sewers.
Work on the latter is now nearing
completion and will furnish an outlet
for flood water from the northern sec
ton of the city, and prevent inunda-
ton Of the southern section. The con-
struction Of this gigantic concrete tun-
mel has been an expensive task.
The new deep sewer running from
the basement Of the Mills building to
San Antonio street, is another asset to
the business district of the city. 1t
represents an expenditure of almost
$4,000 and has just been completed. II
enables the sewage to be run out of the
basement levels of business houses.
In East Ell Paso, the laying of sewer
pipe is an active occupation, many
blocks having been laid the past sum-
mer. The promise is given that the
work is not to be stopped.
The city has plant that makes It's
own sewer pipe.
