DONA ANA WILL BUILD
COUNTY BONDS UNANIMOUSLY VOTED
GOOD ROADS At ONCE

Las Cruces, n. ", June IA striking
instance of the influence Of good roads
upon public sentiment is shown by the
fact that both at the December cleo
tiOn and at the election just held. not
single vote was cast against the
100000 Doua Ana county road bond
issue at or south of Mesilla Park.
This is the southern end OF the county
and adjOins FL PasO county, in which
splendid work in road Improvement
has been carried on for the past four
years. The people of the southern
end of the county have seen what
good roads mean in increased prop
erty values. lower cost OF hauling and
greater prosperity, and in t.a- part
of DOna Ana county where the people
have had an opportunity TO see these
things, it is impossible to find single
citizen. including the natives. opposed
to good roads and good roads bonds
within reasonable limits.
Legal technical defects in the road
bond elections last December required
this second election. The chief defect
was that in the former election all
registered voters who desired went to
the polls and cast their vote. whereas
the state constitution requires that
q bond election only those who are
registered voters and have paid a
PROPERTY tax for 1912 may vote. Not
more than three votes against the

IS LARGEST OWNER
OF SCRIP IN WORLD
Fen :. HiIdrefh's Purchase Of S25O,OOO
Worth of ArizCnn Scrip Puts
Hin In Icnd.

Phoenix, Ariz., June Fen S. Hill
dreth, of Phoenix, former Rough Rider
and later receiver of the United States
land office at this place, is now the
largest individual owner Of land scrip
in the world, by his purchase Of a
quarter of a million dollars cash. from
the AtchisOn, Topeka q Santa Fe Rail-
read company, 10000 acres Of Navajo
base scrip, worth from IS TO $25 an
acre.
1t is Mr.. Hildreth's intention to sell
the scrip to hOmesteaders and desert
land entrymen who wish to gain i'm
mediate title to their holdings Fully
go percent, he estimates, will be pur-
chased by that class. Scrip is widely
used by nonresidents who wish to ac-
quire land in Arizona and, because
they are nOnresidents, cannot comply
with the government regulations.
Under an act Of congress dated
March u. 1872. the Santa Fe was
granted each odd numbered section
of land for 40 miles on each side of
its right Of way. Congress entirely
overlooked the fact that some of these
sections would be included in forest
reserves and indian reservations Many
hundreds Of thousands Of acres of scrip
have been issued in lieu of lands in
GUIDED IN reserves and reservations
and granted to railroad companies.
January q, 1913, the general land
office issued to the Santa Fe 800, 600
acres Of scrip in lieu of odd numbered
sections lying in the Navajo reserva-
ton, in northern Arizona. BY virtue
of the act Of 1872, title to those reser-
walton lands was vested in the Santa
Fc, but the railroad was paying no
taxes thereon because il was arranged
that ultimately IL should receive scrip.
At the time the 300. 900 acres Of scrip
was issued Mr.. Hudreth tried TO buy
it all. but the Santa Fe wanted in the
GeighbOrhOOd of a million dollars. No
offer involving time payments would
be considered. He then waited till
100000 acres of the scrip had 0een
sold, chiefly to homesteaders and des-
err land entrymen. An offer of a
quarter OF a million for the remainder
was accented
