Governor Mills has returned from
flying visit to Socorro.
The governor stated this after
noon that there was no foundation
for the alarming rumors about the
condition of the convict camp at So
corro. He stated that there had been
some misunderstanding, however, and
three of the convicts were brought
back to the penitentiary by Warden
Cleofes Romero. The warden went
to Socorro as did Territorial Engineer
Charles D. Miller, who was the first
one tel@phoned to that there was
trouble in the camp" The governor
addressed the convicts and told
them that the road work afforded
them a chance to shorten their SEN
tences in the penitentiary but that If
they made efforts to escape they
would lose the time.
The governor, Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Romero inspected the work the con-
victs did on Blue Canon road between
Socorro and Magdalena and they ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the way the work is progressing.
Lincoln County Matter.
The trouble in Lincoln over the re.
moval Of the county records to Carri-
zozo the new county seat does not
appear to alarm the governor who
admitted that he had received tele-
grams from Lincoln about the con-
dition of affairs there.
The case will come up July 10 at
Alamogordo and it is the governors
intention to uphold the decision of
the court if it takes the entire mill
tary force of New Mexico to do so.

Territorial Game and Fish Warden
Thomas P. Gable sent pamphlet
about Santa Fe's delightful climate
to Fra Albertus or better known as
Elbert Hubbard, the editor of the
Philistine at East Aurora, N. Y. The
Fra writes back as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Gable-I am in re-
ceipt of your kind enclosures describ-
ing the beauties Of climate, weather,
mountains and mountain trout. You
almost persuade me to lay down the
burden and buy a ticket over the
Santa Fe and some day I will. So
here's a hand grasp over the miles
and am as ever,
"Your sincere,
"ELBERT HUBBARD"
