0GIER'S MILL BURNED

Ogier's sawmill, which was
moved several months ago from
Tajique canyon to Torreon can
yon, was destroyed by fire last
Friday night. 1t is not known
how the fire originated, but Mr..
Ogier is reported to believe it
was of incendiary origin. An in
spection was made about 11:30,
at which time no sign of fire was
discovered, and less than an hour
later it was all in flames. The
shedding was incomplete, so
there was not as much combust-
lble material as would ordinarily
be the case. If the machinery
proves to be entirely ruined, the
loss will amount to 81, 500, with
no insurance. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that much of the machin,
e-y will prove serviceable after
overhauling.

PICNIC IN THE
MOUNTAINS

Just now the dwellers in the
valley find a day in the noun
tains very pleasant. The bab-
bling brooks and the whispering
pines lull the senses and the aro-
matte air is incense in the nos
trils of the lowlander. Possibly
the highlander finds the extend
ed vistas of the valley pleasing
to the eye, and he needs must
come to the valley to get a prop
er perspective of his mountains.
However, we have not observed
picnic parties from the noun
tains in the valley, while picnic
parties from the valley in the
mountains are quite numerous
this time O. year.
This mountain picnic fever has
assumed a chronic form with a
number of Estancia families in
which birthdays occur on dates
near together, and for several
years they have made it a point
to celebrate chosen day near
those dates with picnic excur-
sion to the mountains.
This excursion for 1913. oc-
Cured last Sunday. In thepar-
ty were Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Van
Stone, Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Rous-
seau, Mr.. and Mrs. L. C. Stand
hart, Mrs. L. D. Roberts, Miss
Marguerite Roberts, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Constant, Tommy and
Catherine Van Stone, Ralph
Stubblefeld, and least in size
but not least in Importance,
Jacqueline Rousseau, who was as
sturdy and happy picnicker as
any one of the bunch.
The boys of the party found a
place to go swimming. Tommy
Van Stone carried off the honors
as a juvenile marksman, while
in this diversion honors were
easy between Messrs. Van Stone.
Rousseau and Standhart. No
snakes, lions, bears or bugs in
truded, and even the ants re-
luired an introduction before
venturing familiarities. The en-
tire party enjoyed the day thor
oughly and returned refreshed
to their labors.

NEW WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES LAW

A new law of very general in
terest which becomes operative
June 17th is Senate Bill No. 1856,
and is entitled An Act Estab-
fishing Weights and Measures.
The law makes the sheriff ex-
officio public weighmaster, and
gives him power to appoint de-
puties, who may be regular de-
putty sheriffs or otherwise.
The bill is too lengthy to pub
lish here in full, but some of the
things it provides for are as fol-
lows:
All scales shall be tested and
inspected by the weighmaster,
who shall keep records of such
testing and inspection and de-
liver to the owner a certificate,
such testing to be done not less
than once each six months, the
weighmaster Or deputy to have
a fee for his own use of from
$3.50 for track scales down to
25c for counter scales. A scale
may be tested at any time upon
petition of five citizens, but not
oftener than every thirty days.
The law prescribes the num-
ber of pounds to the bushel of
pretty much everything, the
principal commodities being as
follows:
Corn in the cob, 70
Corn in the ear unhusked, Y
Corn shelled, Sc
Wheat. go
Millet seed, so
Apples, 45
Beans, 60
Peas, 60
Potatoes, 60
Oats, 80
The weight per gallon of
liquids is prescribed, and the
selling of less weight per gallon
penalized.
Misrepresentation of the
weight or quantity of any com
modify offered for sale is pena-
lized.
The butter section is as follows,
A print or package of butter
shall contain sixteen ounces
avoirdupois, and when a print or
package containing less than six
teen ounces avordupois shall be
sold, it's net weight shall be
disclosed by the seller to the
buyer, by such package being la
beled with a statement of the
net weight.
There are similar provisions
for most other commodities, and
the penalty for violation of these
sections is fine of not less than
$40 nor more than $100, or by
Imprisonment not less than
thirty nor more than ninety
days.
Hay and straw in bales must
be sold by weight and not by
package, and severe penalties
are prescribed for failure to
plainly and conspicuously mark
the net contents of any package,
sack, box or barrel.
Section IL reads in part as
follows:
The council of every incorpor-
ated city, town or village shall
prescribe rules for the weighing
of commodities upon any scales
operated therein by any person,
firm or corporation for the use
of the public, and shall regulate
the charges therefor, and shall
designate the place or places
where hay and wood may be ex-

It was with a great degree OF
pride that we reviewed a sheet
of music, which found its Way to
our desk yesterday, through the
courtesy of Miss Bessie Burris
whose name in conjunction with
Miss Jessie Hood, appears on
the title sheet.
Bessie is a bright vivaclous
girl, a graduate of F. H. $. Class
of 1913, and while in school show
ed decided poetic tendencies
which we see charmingly de-
veloped in the fascinating
rhythm OF THE Ideal Girl the
authorship of which she should
be justly proud.
The music OF the sorg IS
the composition of little Jesse
Hood a real musical prodigy, she
being a child of only Is years
and vet almost ready for con-
servatory work, due to the fact
that with her natural ear fol
music is combined a remarka

practice, which has developed
|her remarkably for her years.

noting the lack Of progress in
schools, Mr.. Harris says ne
thinks the teachers should really
teach the children. The Sys-
TEN of expecting the children to

and children. and III many cases
it isa great nuisance, as the
children have, or should nave
