LOOKS DARK FOR
ALBERT B. FALL
Burg Resolution Calling for
New Election Passed by
Large Majority
DON'T WANT APACHE INDIANS
Joint Resolution Adopted In
viting Vice-President
Elect Marshall
DON'T WANT APACHE INDIANS

Judging from the vote taken in
the house Tuesday the Republican
majority is not going to stan1 sol
idly for the reelection of Senator
Albert B. Fall. The vote was thir.
ty.three to fifteen for the Burg
resolution calling for senatorial
election just as Mr.. Burg framed it
and not as the house judiciary COM
mittee reported it. The committees s
substitute would have declared me
election last June to have been legal.
DON'T WANT INDIANS.
Monday the Legislature adopted a
joint resolution addressed to Con-
gress protesting against the return
to New Mexico of Geronimos 5
Apache Indians. Another joint res
olution calis Tor the investigation OF
the price Of coal in New Mexico.
An anti-prize fighting bill has been
introduced and measures inaugural
ing the referendum and recall and
direct election of senator's. An
other bill would make elective Off
GERS accountable to the people. Both
houses concurred in a resolution in
viting vice-press!!dent elect Marshall
to visit The Legislature on his return
from Phoenix. Ariz. A food of
bills are being introduced daily, but
as yet none have been passed and II
is likely that they will wait upon the
senatorial fight which Is in progress.

GOOD ROADS BILL
BEFORE CONGRESS
Specifies That Ocean-to-O Ocean
Route Must Pass Through
Deming
DELL POTTER INCREDUL0US
His Idea was that Old Trails
Association was not
for This Road
DELL POTTER INCREDULOUS

According to letters received by
New Mexico good roads boosters
from the secretary of the National
Old Trails association the organiza-
tion intends to stick by the Border.
land Route from FL Paso through
Deming to Phoenix. The plot to
divert the highway by way of
Springeryille, with its impossible
roads, fell through at the conven.
ton held at Santa Fe early in the
fall. With the Kearney, Doniphan
and Butterfeld trails all passing
through Deming, there is little doubt
but that Luna county has old trails
with whiskers on.
In an article in Tuesdays III Paso
Herald it is pointed out that Las
Cruces, FL Paso, Deming and Doug
las should get together at once and
assure to this section the great
transcontinental touring route along
which stream of motorists will
pass in an ever increasing volume.
BILL INTRODUCED
A bill has already been introduced
in congress appropriating $4,000
for this route, and is being pushed
through the influence of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
The proposal to organize a southern
highway association was made some
two weeks ago by Deli M. Potter of
Clifton. AT the time he assefted
that the National Old Trails associa-
ton routed their road through New
Mexico and Arizona as a sop to Sc
cure silence while they railroaded
bill through congress that would
take the transcontinental highway
through Colorado and by way of
Salt Lake City to the Pacific coast.
Judging from his wire to the FL
Paso Herald he still has his doubts
of the associations good faith. In
part the letter before referred to
reads:
In this bill We even went one step
farther concerning your city than
the map showed. That is, the pro.
vision for your part Of the country
is that il shall be built along the
FL Camino Real by way Of Santa
Fe, Socorro, Las Cruces, FL Paso,
Deming, Douglas, Phoenix, etc.
These towns are all actually speci-
fled in the bill
am enclosing corrected map
showing the road as the bill desig-
mates il.
We have been unable to get CO
operation at Albuquerque on this
project, for somehow they seem to
be tied up in the Ocean to Ocean
scheme. and when We broke away
from that they threw up their hands
and would do nothing.
SUPPORT FOR MIR. KIRKER
Our organizer, Mr.. Kirker is in
your community and we bespeak for
him liberal support from your city
for this project as it now stands.
Remembering that We are not
committing our organization to this
road west of Santa Fe, for we have
not the authority to do that.
Our constitution is indefinite con
corning the road west of Santa Fe
and this is merely our opinion at
headquarters that your road so far
as we know comes nearest comply.
ing with the requirements of that
constitution as to the road from
Santa Fe to the Pacific.
Unless the states Of Arizona and
New Mexico take some action ad-
verse to the road as above outlined
We shall undoubtedly adhere TO this
line.
With this explanation of our
stand, are you for us?

ANOTHER TRAIN TO
M|MBRES FARMERS
Agricultural College to Dem
onstrate over Santa Fe
Lines Soon
SCHEDULE IS NOW PREPARED
Fruit Growing, Trucking and
Irrigation Matters to
be Explained

Another agricultural school on
wheels is to be run in New Mexico
by the Santa Fe in cooperation with
the state Agricultural College and
Experiment Station. Instead of run.
ming another agricultural train with
varied exhibits and short stops, as
was the case last year, two cars will
be run. These cars will spend prac.
tically the whole day at nearly every
stopping point, so that there will be
plenty of time for the lectures, dem
onstrations and for answering ques.
tons. The lectures will be confined to
a few lines of instruction and these
will be covered In detail. In addition
to the Santa Fe demonstrators there
will be from three to five of the col.
lege faculty with the cars.
LECTURES, AND QUESTIONS AN
swERED
A large passenger coach will be
used for the lectures and the visi-
tors will be made comfortable. A
baggage car will contain the exhib.
its which will be intended to illus
trate the lectures.
In the irrigated districts fruit
growing, trucking and irrigation will
be given first place, with live stock,
dairying and silos as secondary sub
jects. In the dry farming districts
the principal subjects will he those
pertaining to dairying, live stock
and silos. Some of the matters dis
cussed will be how to handle the
cream separator, how to test cream,
why cream tests vary. care of cream,
selection Of cows, proper rations of
dry farm crops to feed cows, how to
build silcs, and what crops tn grow
for silage.
PRACTICAL HELPS
Every effort will be made to make
these talks interesting and at the
same time intensly practical. 1t is
hoped that there will be good at
tendance Of farmers and business
men and their wives.
Owing to unavoidable delay in
arranging for running these cars it
has not been possible to get out the
bills giving the exact schedules very
far ahead Of the arrival of the cars.
Watch for the schedule for your
nearest town. and in the mean time
tell your neighbors that the cars
are coming, and be making your
plans to visit them.
