nominated his Oldest son, Bran

A compromise was suggested
at this meeting. Booth was about
to agree to it when the young
wife he had recently married
leaned over the balcony and
shouted: e
'Never!"
This caused the foundation of
the Salvation Army. 1t was first
known as the Christian Revival
Association, and the first meeting
was held in an abandoned Quaker
burial ground in Whitechapel,
In 1870 the name was changed
to Christian Mission; in 1873 it
became the Salvation Army.
The great sorrow of the Booth
family was the quarrel between
Booth and his son, Ballington,
head of the army in America.
The quarrel was over the army
property. Ballington wanted it
put into the hands of trustees.
The general insisted it remain in
his nahe and at his disposal.
Ba1lington was insistent. The
general was obdurate. They sep
arated. Darlington founded the
Volunteers of America and he
and his father never spoke again.
Just before Booth died Balling-

new SHOPS FOR
ALBUQUERQUE

Albuquerque is all swelled up
over the announcement by Pres
ident Ripley of the Santa Fe
railroad company, that the COM
pany will build large additions
to the railroad shops at that
place, making Albuquerque Sec
ond only to Topeka as a Santa
Fe railroad town. Everybody in
New Mexico will be glad to hear
it. The thing that helps Albu-
querque helps the balance of the
state, and we hope the old town
will take such a boom as it never
before experienced.

A Central Kansas editor
says: "We attended church
some time ago, and listened to
a very good sermon, as SER
mons go. We enjoyed the
singing, and stood up with the
brethren and sisters while
they sang the good old hymn,
Shall we know each other
there" While the hymn was
being sung we glanced about
us and counted about a dozen
members of the congregation
of the church who do not
speak to each other when they
meet on the street or else
where. The thought occurred
to US why should they know
each other there when they
seemingly don't know each
other here?"

.UNWELCOME NEWS
TO DEMOCRATS

Colorado applicants for a
postmastership will receive as
unweIcome news an annouce-
nment yesterday by Thorn
as K. Woodrow, assistant city
attorney, and cousin of Presi-
dent elect Woodrow Wilson,
who returned Tuesday from a
trip to Washington and visit
to Governor Wilson.
He was told by the president
elect, he says, that govern
ment officials who have not
paid strict attention to busi-
ness and have not been charg.
ed with civil service violation,
will be allowed to serve out
their terms.
Woodrow spent a day with
Governor Wilson and family
at Princeton. He said that
while he did not discuss the
subject explicitly with Presi.
dent Wilson, that he knew of
his great distaste for the poll
tical spoils system.
The plums sought by Office
seekers throughout the state,
according to George T. Brad
ley, state Democratic chair
man, are places as postmast-
ers.
81 understand there are
nearly 900 postoffices in the
state" said Bradley last night,
and Pll wager that abont one
third that number of appli-
cants from as many cities over
the state have been seeking
recommendations to United
States senators for those Offices.
Many seem to believe that
changes under the Democratic
regime are to be made as soon
as President Wilson takes Of
fee. From what Wilson has
intimated to Woodrow, there
will likely be no changes un-
til the terms of the Colorado
postmasters expire. Denver

NEW ROAD
PROPOSED

Among people this side Of
the mountains a new road to
Albuquerque Is being agitat
ed, due to the fact that the
only road now passable, by
way Of Tijeras canon, is a very
round about and unnecessdri-
ly long route for all the people
of the Valley except those 10
The extren e northern portion.
There is said to be practica
Bile route over the divide by
way of the pass just north of
Mosca Peak that would make
an almost direct line to Albu-
querque; that the distance is
not above thirty miles from
Tajique, which would make it
not more than forty-fve from
Estancia. Men who know the
country say that after crossing
the divide at the point named
a road could 60 practically as
the crow flies across the mesa
to albuquerque, that part of
the route requiring almost no
work.
Messrs. Hodges and McKin
ley both tell US that they are
familiar with the route across
the divide, having travelled it
many times, and with work
that would not be at all heavy
a good road could be made
from this side to thu summit |
of the pass. They say there
are two good routes-one up
Taiique canon to the north
branch that comes in west of
the present site of Ogier's mill,
thence up this north branch,
following the ranger trail to
the pass; the other, and Mr..
Mckinley thinks the better,
route is up the first or eastern
branch of fatigue canon, grad
ually climbing the west bluff
to hogback which leads di
rectly to the pass.
The road Low used by lum
Der haulers and others in Tia
iique canon requires some
work, but not heavy work, to
make a good road of it, and it
is said the balance of the route
would require even less work
han the improvement of the
canon road.
Such a road would give a
1irect route to Albuquerque
.or all the lower valley.

A PROMISING
NEW CROP

A crop new to the Valley
which, according to some
trials this year promises to be.
come one of the important
crops, is English, or Canadian
stock peas.
The Norman brothers plant
ed an acre and a half last
spring. They are said to be
good table peas, and many
were picked from this patch
for the table. Then q bunch
of pigs were turned loose in
the patch until just before cut
ting time, and came out fat
The crop was then cut and
stacked, and was threshed last
week, yielding 1880 pounds.
This yield is all the more re
markable because the rows
were planted the same dis
tance apart as beans, whereas
it is said that peas should be
planted not more than half as
far apart.
The peastraw makes good
forage, and the peas are
sa good as grain to feed all
kinds of stock.
Ted Handy had less than an
acre this year and the whole
neighborhood got peas for
table use from his patch. He
threshed $50 pounds.
If the pea industry proves
as good as these small expert
ments Indicate, it will solve
some of the troubles of the
Estancia Valley farmer.
These experiments have
ex cited so much interest that
a mber of farmers declare
their intention of trying peas
on a larger scale next year.
They have looked up the yea
question and find that it is
claimed that peas will grow
and flourish wherever beans
do, and that they will yield
fully twice as much to the
acre as beans. They think
| 900 pounds to the acre is
not to much too expect-in fact
a very conservative estimate
This year there is a shortage |
of these peas and inquiries are
being made at 50 80 per hun
dred, we are told. If these
peas are as good for stock feed
as is claimed, there would be
no difficulty about a market. |
As last resort and probably |
at the greatest profit, as has
been the experience of corn
raisers, they could walk to |
on pigs feet.
Walter Pace aud H. I. |
Mathews are among those who
have declared an intention of
giving the peas a try-out next
year.

ALLEGED BURGLAR
CAPTURED

Deputy Sheriff Dee Robinson
went to Belen Tuesday and
brought back and lodged in Jail
a young man named Eldon Hill,
charged with burglarizing Nc
Coy's store at Mountainairon the
night of October 9th. Hill is
said to be from Indiana, but had
been around Mountainair for
some time previous to the burg
larry. He was suspected at the
time but could not be located.
Our sheriff and efficient deputy
are not asleep, however. The
lawbreaker who gets away from
them is a good one. They have
been on the trail of Hill ever
since the robbery, with the re-
suit that he is now behind the
bars. The fellow who breaks
the law in this county would
save a lot of trouble for himself
by just coming in and giving
himself up, because he will be
landed anyhow, sooner or later.

tertain delegates from every
Sunday School in the county.
The following committees

small enclosures proved that, under
some conditions at least, saving OF
lambs and labor can be. made more
than enough to offset the cost. In the
coyote-proof pasture experiments, a
regular herder, without assistance from
the forest service, handled the sheep
with the same reductions in expense,
amount of range required, and percent
age of loss, and the same increase in
the weight of lambs, as in preceding
years. The mountain bunchgrasS range
investigations have shown how, by
proper rotation in the grazing, to secure
thorough natural reseeding of overgraz-
ed land without serious decrease of the
number of stock while the range is be-
ing restored.
Many forage species have been test
ed through artificial reseeding expert
ments. The introduction OF new
grasses is a very difficult problem.
Redtop was found to succeed better
than any other cultivated grass on poor
ly drained Dogs where the soil is acid,
while Hungarian bronze grass is better
adapted to arid localities. Timothy is
fairly drought resistent and yet can be
depended upon to make good stand
in moist meadows. On the lands stud
led the most promising cultivated
species for range reseeding were found
to be, named in the order of their i'm
portance, timothy, Hungarian bronze,
Italian rye, redtop, Kentucky blue
grass, alsike and white clover, orchard
grass, tall meadow oat grass, Canadian
bluegrass, and hard or sheep fescue.
In all cases except in parts OF the
Southwest fall seeding has given much
better results than sowing in spring.
1t is important that stockmen
strengthen their organizations and keep
up live interest in them. There are
now sixty-eight advisory boards, repre-
senting local livestock associations,
which are cooperating effectively with
the Forest Service in the settlement Of
grazing problems. Advisory boards OF
both the American National Livestock
Association and the National Wool
growers Association are being con-
suited and are giving valued assistance
with regard to matters which affect the
interests of the stockmen as a whole.
Matters OF vital interest to every flock
master in the land are continually com
ing up, and call for efficient organiza-
tons Of range users. The Forest Ser
vice is entering new fields OF scien-
tifc range management and is en-
gagged upon problems OF great inter
est to the stockgrowers. With their
cooperation we shall be able to better
meet the needs of the fockmasters and
make the Forests more useful to all OF
the people.
