Sleep that wakes In laughing day.
Health that mocks the doctors rulos'
Knowl edge never learned In schools,
OF the wild bees morning chase,
OF the wild flowers time and place,
How the tortoise bears his shell,
How the woodchuck digs his cell
How the robin feeds her young,
How the orioles nest is hung,
Where tho whltest lilies blow
Where the freshest berries grow.
Where the ground-nut trails Its vine
Where the od-grape's clusters shine

The Board takes up the mat
ter CT the request made by Mr.
Moulton for reconsideration, ir
which it is requested that re.
duction on the the Lucia School
District levy be made, and re-
vokes the order formerly given
by the Board granting said re-
duction, for the following rea-
sons, to-wit:
1st. The Board being advised
that there are thirty-three tax
payers within the Lucia School
District, and that all of them ex-
cept five have paid in all or a
part of their taxes for the year
1911, acknowledges the fact of
the injustice that would be done
to the parties who have already
paid their taxes if the Board
would rule the aforesaid reduc-
tion to be made, whereby only
five citizens and taxpayers would
be relieved of the burden borne
by the rest of the taxpayers of
the district.
End. The Board also sees fit
to revoke it's former order, for
the reason that the time for de-
manding and making such reduc-
tions has elapsed, and to grant
the same at this time would
mean to remake the present
Couty Tax Rolls. which have
inst been approved by the Board,
or at least cause a great irregu-

Treasurer and Assessor of the
County.

entertainment

The first number of the Ly-
ceum course will be held on Oc-
tober 9th.
The first number will be the
Theobaldi Concert Company. We
have heard nothing but the high
est praise from those who have
heard this company. They have
played in the best cities all over
the west and always to packed
houses. We hope to give the
people something better this
year than has ever been in the
valley before and shall hope and
expect the patronage of all the
citizens.
If the Woman's Club should
make a success of this course it
will spur them on to do some
thing better. If they could only
succeed in paying for the course
they would feel we'll repaid for
all time and hard work by being
able to put such high class en-
tertainments before the people.
Don't fail to hear the first

COMMISSIONERS
PROCEEDINGS
Estancia, New Mexico,
Sept. 3rd, 1912.

Sept. 3rd, 1912,
The Honorable Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners met in special
session with Chairman Lorenzo
Zamora and Commissioners Juan
Cruz Sanchez and Librado Valen-
cia, Clerk Manuel Sanchez, Jr.,
by his deputy Acasiol. Gallegos,
and julius Meyer, Sheriff, pres
ent.
Now comes E. L. Moulton and
requests the Board to reduce the
tax levy made for school purpos-
es for the year 1911, from 20
mills to 10 mills in district No.
%, upon the grounds that they
had plesssfunds to run their
school for the period of time re-
quired by law.
After being fully advised in
the premises the Board ordered
the reduction to be made through
a resolution.
E. L. Moulton also requests
the Board to reduce the school
levy of District No. % for the
year 1912, from Is to 5 mills.
The Board granted Mr.. Moul-
tons request.
Comes now Fred H. Ayers as
spokesman for a committee ap-
pointed by the taxpayers that
met in mass meeting, and pre-
sented the following protest:
To the Honorable Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of Torrance
County:
September End, 1912.
We, the undersigned taxpayers
of Torrance County, New Mexi-
CO, having been appointed as a
committee to appear before the
Honorable Board of County Com
missioners of Torrance County,
New Mexico, and to protest
against the proposed reduction
of the taxes of the New Mexico
Fuel & Iron Company, respect
fully call your attention to the
fact that the records OF the
County Treasurer show that the
County of Torrance has received
all of the taxes that it was
sought to reduce and as taxpay-
ers we feel that it is far better
for the County to have all of the
tax than to reduce it in any
amount and only have a part OF
it. Certainly a whole loaf is
better than half a loaf.
Secondly, 1t IS certainly true
that if the taxes of the New
Mexico Fuel & Iron Company are
reduced, that then and in that
event all other property owners
of this county (both those who
have paid their taxes and those
who have not paid) will have a
right to a reduction of their tax
es or to a refund of a part OF
their taxes that they
have already paid. This would
be out of the question, and so ii
is out of the question to allow
the taxes of the New Mexico Flu
ell & Iron Company to be re-
duced.
In asking for its taxes to be
reduced the New Mexico Fuel q
Iron Company is asking for a do
nation from the people of Tor
rance County, and while they
pretended that there was a rea'
Estancia news-herald. [volume] (Estancia, Torrance County, N.M.) 1912-19??, 1912-09-27

materially since thel application
for a reduction was made. Thei
the County hadsnot received thu
taxes. 1t has the money in full
now. Knowing as we do tha
Torrance County cannot affore
to pay back money that it hat
received for said taxes it is very
apparent that all Torrance Coun'
ty people should condemn the
requested reduction.
Wherefore we respectfully ask
that you pass a resolution refus'
ing to agree to or allow any re-
duction of taxes to said company
Very respectfully,
W. D. Wasson Antonio Salazar

The Board passed the follow
ing resolution:
RESOLUTION
Be it resolved by the Board of
County Commissioners of Tor
rance County, New Mexico, in
session this third day of Septem-
ber,. 1912, at the court honse in
Estancia, that we refuse to give
or grant the requested reduction
of taxes for and on behalf Of the
New Mexico Fuel &Iron Compa-
ny, and the recommendation
granted previously is hereby re-
scinded for the reason that the
parties representing the New
Mexico Fuel & Iron Company
did not appear in time to act
upon; furthermore, said reduc-
tion has bee n requested in that
a certain civil suit in the district
court in Torrance County, which
suit is more particularly known
as Torrance County No. 80, Civ
il.
We refuse to approve, affirm
or consent to the modified judg-
ment heretofore filed in the said
cause and which was not to be-
come effective until approved by
US.

 ON SAMPSON
Inmates of Local Federal Jail on First Leg of Long Journey
 to Native Country

The four seal poachcrs wh( were captured by the revenue cutter Manning a year ago las August will leave on the Sampson in charge of Immigrant Inspector 'Domeanus Maskeyviczius as un- desirables, and will be shipped tC Japan on one of the first boats lt aving Seattle for the island kingdom.
 The pri oners have just com- pleted serving out the fine of $i,- 900 imposed upon them by the commissioner at Unalaska less the deduction for good time.
 At the time of the capture the Manning sighted several small boats about dusk poaching on the islands, but all succeeded in mak- ing getaway in the darkness but the one boat.
 The islands arc raided almost every year by poachers after the guard maintained by the cutters leave. The small boats row in from the ship and in one even ing kill several hundred of the helpless seals. Scaling has been a profitable industry for many years for American. English and Japanese, but al the time of the treaty between England and the United StaicS sealing within 30 miles of the islands was prOhib- tied. In spite of this law last year the five Canadian scaling vessels returned 10 Victoria win an average catch of 900 to the boat, supposedly captured 30 miles from the islands. All lha b"atS were late returning to Vic toria. No Amcrican boats are now in tr scrI bus ness.
 Owing tn the Japanese guvcrn- mcnL having joined the United States and England in a new treaty all Japanese citizens will be prevented from sealing in Bcrlng sea, as are the citizens Of the other treaty countries. The Japanese government has made payments to all it's citizens for inc loss of occupation. Captains of sealing vessels receive $500 and scalcrs $500 each. the captains receiving less, as the government figured they had moro chance for work in their lines than the hunt CTS. whose business has been wip- td out and who must learn a new trade.
