These organizations have by pre-

the open veranda of his castle-yes,
it was his own, the castle. Forty
years ago it belonged to our Lord
Asaka. Matazo, then in his early

rather far cry from a barefooted san

historic castle of Asaka; still, life
moves rapidly in these latter days:

Lord Asaka was fifty-ninc years old,

hair. The trying days of the Restora-

We are glad to announce that
the E. P. & S. W. Ry. will again
have a Dry Farming expert on
this mesa this summer after MAY
1st for the purpose of aiding and
instructing the farmers in the
best and most modern methods
of farming under dry-land condi-
tions. While many of us are un-
able to farm as they teach us
still we can get a lot of useful in
formation that we can use as far
as our means will permit.
1t is not merely charity OF
philanthrophy which promps the
Railroad managers to send these
experts here. 1t is the desire tc
see this mesa become a contribut
ing factor to the business Of theil
road and it will be as soon as w
get to raising crops and more o.
us get to making good.
The fact that some farmers ar,

the pupils divided so that all will

w. F. Kennedy
Dies at Las Vegas

Mrs. W. F. Kennedy, received a
telegram Wednesday from the
Hospital for the Insane at Las
Vegas announcing the death of
her husband, W. F. Kennedy,
who was sent to the hospital last
September from Roy. He had
become not only a burden but
was violent and dangerous as
well and he never improved under
hospital treatment. He was at
one time, a very efficient and
successful man but with the de-
cline of his mental powers he be.
came menace to his family and
confinement in the hospital was
last resort for his own good and
the safety of his family.
W me IL may seem neartleSS,
yet we can but feel relieved that
the Grim Reaper" has removed
him from his suffering and we
prefer to remember him when he
was endowed with reason and in
tellect rather than what little was
left after these attributes had de-
parted. Mrs. Kennedy went to
Las Vegas Thursday to attend the
funeral which will be held there.
Two small children survive him.
The wife will remain with her
mother, brothers and sisters here.

Coronado County
Three Years Ago

- . - 49, N@AC - Ct@@%@ose
American of three years ago is
so well written and so direct to
the point of the present situation
that we copy it as an evidence
that our present effort is not a
temporary fancy but a crying
need Of several years standing
and one which cries out for just
ice at the hands of the present
legislature:
The forming of new counties is
in keeping with the marvellous
growth of the territory to the
point where statehood is imper-
ative.
1t will create great increase
in the value of thousands of acres
of land, thus adding to the wealth
of the territory.
1t will be in keeping with our
form of government, to over.
come the tendency of those selfish
counties that would centralize the
governmental power. The great
American principle of local self.
government will be exemplifed.
The portion of counties so re-
mote from the seat of govern
ment are forced to bear a burden
of taxation for which they get
little in return; and this condition
is contrary to the constitutional
blessing of representative govern
ment which is the foundation
of our country's greatness.
1t is disgraceful to any COM
mon wealth to force such, hard |
ships upon the citizens as the |
people OF these remote secvions
Of Mora, Union and San Miguel
are compelled to endure.
1t will tighten the burden of
taxation Of every property owner
residing within its boundaries.
Is there any justice in keeping
the development of the country
back when newcomers would
quickly settle up the land if it
were not for the drawbacks now
incident to life here? Is not the
demand of those people for self
government the same demand
that is being made by the whole
territory? Justice is certainly
hard to find when the prejudice
of a few is to outweigh the de-
mand of the many.
II is lamentable state of affairs
when a free born people are de-
MED their inherent rights in
government supposedly of for
and by the people. Should the
legislature continue to ignore the
petition Of nearly one thousand
voters paying for their rights it
will but prove the sad truth of
the fact that justice and rights
are not to be effected in the terri
tory and the national law makers
will have still further evidence
that those New Mexicans are
not fit subjects for self.govern-
ment.n
The people haye expressed
their desire in this matter. With
them patience has ceased to be a
virtue, and the beginning of the
end of these unnecessary hard
ships is at hand.
The creation of Coronado will
mean much to the development
of the resources of this section,
proportionately as does the secur'
ing of statehood to the develope
ment of the whole territory
The people of this section are
extremely tired, and justly so
Of state Of affairs which necess
