BRIDGE IS BADLY NEEDED
Legislature Should Lend as
SiStance

One bill, which has been intro
duced in the State Legislature,
House Bill No. 131, is of more
than passing Importance to the
people Of Valencia county, and
especially to those of the southern
portion of the county. 1t pro-
vides for the construction of a
bridge across the Rio Grande to
replace the one taken out by the
flood some months ago. Atpres-
ent there is no bridge across the
river south of Peralta, and all the
people residing on the eastern
side of the river, must ford the
stream to take their crops to
market and secure supplies. That
portion of the country supports a
large population OF industrious
farmers, and the need of the
bridge is urgent in the extreme.
The county expended its resour-
ces in the construction of the
bridge which was destroyed, and
in fact it was necessary that pri,
vate capital assist in the com
pletion of the same. Now the
county is not able to replace the
structure and the state shoulc

nor at the state prison. The re-
suit was that Telles went back to
Valencia county and lived there
happily, until the case was called
to the attention of Governor Nc
Donald. The governor instituted
a thorough investigation with the
result that Telles arrived at the
state prison today and is now
starting out on his belated three
year term.
In order to get the man into
prison, the governor was COM
pelleo to investigate the case from
the beginning, to write to the
sheriff of Valencia county, to Sc
cure a statement from the court
officials and finally to secure a
new commitment. Telles proba-
bly, believed he was paroled at
the time he was turned loose in

For a murder committed in
1890, one Octaviano Telles today
began serving a three year term
at the state prison and the his
tory of his case and how he es-
capped punishment although SEN
fenced in 1909, would read like
fiction anywhere other than in
New Mexico.
That the man reached at all,
was only due to the persever-
ance of Governor w. C. Nc
Donald, who said today that
methods whereby this man re-
manned at liberty, must stop in
New Mexico if it were in the
power Of his office to stop them.
According to the investigation
set under way months ago by the
governors office, there was a
murder committed in 1890 in Va
lencia county. Telles, who was
under suspicion, escaped and re-
mained away for fifteen years.

He then returned, was tried anc
in 1909 he was sentenced to three
years in the state prison in this

DECIDES TO TEST CORFU
GATED IRON CUL-
VERTS
BIDS WILL Be CALLED FOR
For Steel Bridge Across the
Rio Grande near this
City

On Saturday, February 9Th,
the Valencia County Road Board
held a meeting at which time the
reports of the supervisors were
presented, and matters in con-
nection with the roads of the
county were discussed.
The board decided to expert
ment with corrugated iron cul-
verts, and have placed an order
for samples, which will be used
to replace old wooden culverts.
These have been used in various
portions of the country and have
given entire satisfaction. While
the. initial cost may be a little
more than for wood, the service
and life of the metal more than
justifies the extra cost to say
nothing OF the freedom from ac-
cidents caused by broken boards
in wooden culverts.
Gregorio Aragon was named
as supervisor for the Tome Pef-
alta district by the board.
The members of the board con.
template a trip through the
western part Of the county after
the middle of the month, to look
after road matters in general ano
take up the matter of appoint.
ment of supervisors in those pre-
cincts. Numerous applications
for these positions have been re
ceived by the board, and the ap
pointments will be made strictly
with a view to obtaining th'
greatest efficiency.
The plans for the new bridg'
across the Rio Grande at Belel
were approved and the boar
will call for bids in the nea
future. 1t is hoped to have tn
