know what kind of school
the rural districts need?
The great need of the farm

only in things scholastic, but
also commercial. The farm
er is the coming man, and if
he will but awaken to his
needs and demand his rights
his future is assured. He will
tell Wall street what to do,
but firstly. he must be educa-
ted. Doesn't it pay to &C

N. N. c. REFEREES

The long expected decision o
the referee in the N. M. G. rail
road case has been made public
1t is too lengthy for publication
in full in these columns.
In substance it is to the effec
that with the exception Of $50,
600 receivers certificates here
tofore issued and "any other in
debtedness of or allowances tc
Charles G. Murray, receiver, or
his successors in this case, and
the proper court costs and the
costs, expenses and allowances
of the special master and referee
herein as prior to the lien of said
mortgage Of said Santa Fe Cen
trail Railway company, and ex-
cept such lien, if any, which the
court may hereafter find or de-
termine that w. S. Hopewell
and Thomas P. Gable have for
or by reason of the matters set
forth in their intervening peti-
ton filed on February %, 1912,
in constituent cause No. 6566,
the mortgage held by the Pitts
burg Trust Company was and is
a first and prior lien on all of the
property of said New Mexico
Central Railroad Company form
erly belonging to said Santa Fe
Central Railway Company"
That all other claims are infe-
rior and subordinate to said
mortgage,
That the Pittsburg Trust Com
pany is entitled to a decree of
foreclosure, but that the proper
ty should not be sold until after
the expiration of ninety days
from the date of any decree of
sale entered in the case.
That the entire property shall
be sold in one parcel and as an
entirety, and that the purchaser
shall be entitled to turn in bonds
and coupons held which shall ap-
ply on purchase price
Neill B. Field, attorney for
some of the litigants, is quoted
by the Albuquerque Herald as
follows:
1.-The report submitted by Mr..
Collins practically places the
Santa Fe Central in a position TO
be sold.
Only the Santa Fe Central is
affected by the report of Refe-
rec Collins.
1t has nothing to do with the
Albuquerque Eastern and it's
creditors or the Dominion Con-
struction company and its cred
itors. Those subjects are left
open for a further report.
We expect a report on the AL
buquerque Eastern and the re-
mainder of the questions within
a month or so, though of course {
there is nothing certain about
this. The order of the court ;
which named the referee in
structed that the report on the {
Santa Fe Central be made first.
