In a tribute 10 this state given at
Heppner yesterday r a. Booth said:
over her bord-
Racing Rivers and ers the stars
Swaying Forests, gleam with more
gladness; the riv-
ers race with greater Joy the forests
sway in deeper reverence and her
fields yield a greater abundance"
The cleaning stars are not directly
at issue in the senatorial campaign
and what Mr.. Booth says of them viii
not be questioned.
The subject Of rivers is more peril
nent. for the reason the improve
ment Of the Columbia is a vital thing
to this state. 1t so happens that Sem
ator Chamberlain also gives thought
to this subject. But he does not rely
on poetic words AS a member Of the
appropriations committee in the SEN
ate he is working hard TO save the
river and barbor bill from a filibuster
and thus insure the completion Of the
Cello canal before the next crop is
harvested. He IS doing this while the
Portland oregonian, which brought
Mr. Booth into the senatorial race and
IS conducting his fight for him. is
steaithily fighting the bill at every
opportunity and giving aid TO those
who claim it is pork barrel measure.
on the subject Of rivers the argument
is ali in favor OF Senator Chamber
lain and against Mr.. Booth.
The forests that sway in deeper
reverence" also enter into the sena-
torial campaign. This because Mr..
Booth has been charged on various
occasions with having acquired large
and valuable tracts of swaying for
ests without due regard for the laws
upon the subject In a news story
on this point the Weekly Oregoniar
on April 1S, 1905 said:
''of all the indictments re-
turned at the session yesterday the
most important as regards the
standing Of the men implicated,
is the one charging r. A. Booth
and his brother. Henry Booth,
with conspiracy 10 defraud the
government. The story has IL
that the senator used his brother
as a tool In the forwarding OF his
plans for the requirement Of
valuable timber land and that on
this account it has been a hard
matter 20 land him in the en-
brace Of the law"
Evidently Mr.. Booth has not alway
regarded the forests from a poeu
standpoin, nor has his sense Of har
mony been sufficient 10 keep his &C
tions in tune with the federal law
governing the acquisition Of timber.

the status under the law of the
Pueblo Indians in New Mexico has
again been brought into the courts,
and action taken by the U. S. Dis
trict Attorney on Monday in Santa
Fe reopens the whole controversy
and inaugurates one of the most
important test cases yet attempted.

ton of irrigation ditch regulations
in precinct 7 of that county. The
Indians we're remanded to Jail on

Large Tourist Traffic
For The Circle Drive
Towns Along Route Working Har-
moniously In Conjunction With
Santa Fe Publicity Dept.

Developments during the past
few weeks have suddenly brought
home to the Santa Fe the unprece-
dented possibilities of the 400
Mile Circle Drive from Ration to
Ration by way of Cimarron Can
yon, Taos, Santa Fe and Las We
gas. Less than two months ago it
was occasionally mentioned by
tourists who had been over the
route, but during the past few
weeks it has been the paramount
issue of numbers of good road en-
thusiasts and by road association
covering practically one half Of the
state. The county road boards are
taking an active interest and solid
communities vie with one another
and the Santa Fe railway is doing
the publicity work all over the
country.
With the towns along this route
working together it is evident that
the tourists will commence to trav-
ell over the 400 mile Circle Drive
as soon as the road is in good con-
dition.
The 400 mile circle will be the
greatest drawing card for tourists
that northern New Mexico can pre-
sent, and those who have been oy-
er it saw that its equal in scenic
beauty cannot be found in this or
any other country. Tourists who
are enroute to the Pacific coast
will take this side trip to enjoy the
sights that cannot be seen from
the Pullman window.
The elimination of the present
publicity campaign will mean that
thousands of tourists will motor
over this drive to expositions in
1915, and that the travel will in
crease from year to year as it be-
comes better known.

Attempt To Have
Rys. Make Connect S
Better Service Complaint Taken Up
With State Cooperation Com
mission and the Railways.

The convenience Of the travelling
public in and out OF the western
part Of the county will be much
improved over the present condi-
tions, il present plans will mature.
Whole sale houses and manufac-
turers who annually have thous-
sands Of representatives visit this
section, have taken up the matter
with the railway company and the
State Corporation Commission in
ehecting better train connections
at Colfax, the junction point Of the
E. P. & S. w. and the St. L. R.
M. & P. Railways.
For nearly a year these trains
have not been making connections
at Colfax. Passengers who desire
to 60 south were compelled to go
to Ration and board the Santa Fe.
The E. P. & S. w. leaves Colfax
just as the Rocky Mountain train
enters the station, thus delaying
the travelling public more than
half day.
This inconvenience has caused
the travelling public and in particu-
lar the statesmen to shun this sec
ton OF the county, as the trip con-
sumed too much time.
tits also learned that an attempt
is being made to have the train stop
Cimarron over night as it did be-
fore the railway company was tax
en- over by the Santa Fe the first
OF last August.
Should these plans matnre, it is
imminent that the transportation
companies as we'll as this entire
section of the country will be
greatly benefited thereby, and the
railways will, without an excep-
tion retain the good will and sup
port of the populace.

Wants SaysO Of Land

The state of New Mexico has
taken exception to UNITED States
jurisdiction in the matter of de-
termining the character Of the sec
tions granted to it by congress,
and has filed a plea to Jurisdiction
of the land department to try sew
eral cases now pending before the
Ration land Office involving title to
school sections. The plea was fl
ed in the United States land Office
in Santa Fe.
The result OF the final outcome
Of the case, means either a large
gain or loss to the state. In SINH
lar cases concerning grants to the
other western states, the land de-
partment has exercised jurisdiction
in adjusting the claims Of the
states to mineral and non-mineral
land.

Hear Many
Complaints
ever received.

Monday was the last day for
payment of taxes and it was also
the first day of the meeting OF the
county commissioners to discuss
protests made by taxpayers on the
1914 assessments. The county
court house was for these reasons
iammed all day with taxpayers
who congregated from all sections
OF the county. The meeting of the
county commissioners was particu-
larly interesting as the most busi-
ness was centered in the chambers
where every one who desired to do
so could part with his grievance in
record breaking time.

VIII Move Bodily

schools in the United States in the
rating Of the u. S. War Depart
ment, will move bodily, excepting
the buildings and grounds, to the
San Francisco exposition for the
final three weeks of the term in
1915 and hold its graduating exer-
cises, drills and so on on the expo
sition grounds. II is believed that
the plan will give New Mexico one
Of the finest advertisements she has

Bad
Day For
Motorists

Sunday was an unfortunate day
for pleasure seeking tourists in this
section of the country, as the re-
suit OF the sudden and heavy rains
that came down in torrents for sew
eral hours. The highway in the
Cimarron Canyon was the scene Of
much trouble for those who would
enjoy the beauties Of that place in
the afternoon when the rains visit
ed that .section. One car owned
by parties in Dawson was tied up
in the canyon for several days as
the result Of breaking the rear AK
el and some other minor damages
to the machine.
Others we're compelled to aband-
on their motor cycles and make the
best Of their mishaps. All togeth-
er the experiences will long be re-
membered by those who we're the
victims.

COnVictS To
Work On
Canon Road

Nothing will be left undone by
the county road board TO put the
road through the Cimarron canyon
in perfect condition and in fact the
entire road to the county line is to
be put in good shape for traffic.
The state convict gang will be
put to work on the canyon road, il
is learned, some time in the near
future and will at several intersec-
tions practically build new high
way where It is now impossible to
keep one in good shape owing to
the frequency Of freshets.
The road through the canyon is
to be of a permanent character the
same as the scenic highway over
the Ration Pass which was built by
convict labor last year.
The only bad road that keeps
the tourists from travelling over the
route at the present time 10 Santa
Fe, is along the Rio Grande valley
where it is impossible to cross sew
eral creeks. The state engineer
has estimated that it will cost near
-ly $500, 900 TO build a permanent
road and bridges between Santa
Fe aud Taos.
