NOBODY WANTS
A RAILROAD

Santa Fe, July 3-There were
no bidders this afternoon for the
New Mexico Central railroad
offered to the highest bidder by
special master L. G.. Collins on
the courthouse steps, and as had
been intimated several days ago,
the sale was postponed to Sep
tember 10, to permit a certain
French syndicate, represented
by Col. W. S. Hopewell and
Renehan & Wright to finance the
proposition to take over the road
and extend it to Roswell and
Pennington from Albuquerque
after completing the branch line
from Moriarty via the Hagan
coal fields and Tijeras pass into
Albuquerque.
The Pittsburgh Trust company
gave a certificate of deposit of
5000, 600 in bonds of the company
through Attorney John S. Wendt
of Pittsburgh, who represented
most of the stockholders, thus
guaranteeing the expenses of the
receivership until September 10.
This deposit was in lieu of $25, 900
cash deposit required from bid
ders. The rumor that the Santa
Fe intended to bid in the road |
proved unfounaed for the Santa
Fe had no representative on the
ground.

On account of rainy weather,
Mcintosh did not get to go to
the foothills to celebrate, but
don't think for a minute we did
not celebrate. Mr.. Fix threw
open the vacant store building
and our ladies set out their din
ners on a linen spread and flow
er trimmed table. Fifty four
people tried their best to empty
the table, but met disastrous de-
feat. So we all stayed and ate
supper too, and then the tradi-
tional twelve baskets full were
gathered up. Ice cream, lemon
ade and cake were served free
all afternoon, and maybe you
think we didn't have good time
"a day full of fun making, and
the people : especially the men
full of all the dainties that the
good wives of the neighborhood
pride themselves in preparing.
Say, you eastern ex-McIntosh

We do.

WASTED FLOODS
OF EL0QUENCE

The N. M. G. railroad tax mat
ter came up before the commits
sioners this week as predicted,
but ended rather flatly.
A considerable number of our
silver tongued orators were
heard. Attorney Ralph Easley
of Santa Fe presented the mat
ter for the railroad, asking the
same reduction that was granted
in June 1918 He was followed
on the other side by Judge w. D..
Wasson with a torrentof eloquence
that cracked the courthouse walls
in several places. J. P. Dunlavy
and Fred H. Ayers also made
eloquent speeches against the
proposed reduction. Acasio Gal
legos, Judge Wash and others
also took part in the discussion,
all making strong speeches.
The arguments in favor of the
reduction are we'll understood
and need not be rehearsed. The
speeches made against the re-
duction all dealt in the main
with the question as to whether
the railroad is justly entitled to
the reduction asked a question
upon which there is no dispute
among the people Of the county,
including the commissioners
and only incidentally was the
real question touched upon, viz:
Can the full amount of the debt
be collected? This is the only
point upon which there is a diff
ference Of opinion, and upon
which a good many, including
the writer, have changed their
views since a year ago. Why |
anybody should fret the atmos-
phere with oratory on the other
point is not quite clear.
However, at the conclusion of |
the arguments the opposing ora
tors found that they had acquitt-
ed themselves somewhat in the
manner of that celebrated mill
tary organization which marched |
up the hill and then marched
down again.
1t was announced that no noti-
fication of the dismissal
of the appeal by the
supreme court had been filed in
the district court, (and as mat
ter of fact it was not filed until
Wednesday, and that the time
given the railroad in which to
pay the tax in the original decree
by Judge Medler would run from
the time of this filing. Hence
the railroad would still have
about twenty days in which to
tender the money.
In this state of affairs the
commissioners, after having been
bombarded by heated oratory
for the better part of a day,
thought it not worth while to
announce a decision.
On Wednesday, after the fling
of the certificate of dismissal by
the supreme court. Mr.. Coomer
for the railroad rendered the
amount of the tax fixed by Judge
Medler's decree. Treasurer
Amble was up a stump He took
legal advice here, and was told
that undoubtedly he would have
to accept it or be in contempt of
court. By means of persuasion
he succeeded in having the mat
ter left in allegiance until he
could consult the district attor-
ney. He went to Alamogordo
yesterday evening for that pur-
pose.

At THE STATE FAIR

The best ropers and most dar-
ing rough riders of the whole
southwest will gather in Albu-
querque during the state fair
this year, to take feature parts
in an entirely new kind of
frontier day celebration, to be
made one of the most important
events of the big first week of
October. Back in the days be
fore cattle roping exhibitions
were made illegal some fine rop-
ing and riding contests were seen
at Albuquerque during the fairs
Clay McGonagle for years the
American champion roper was
seen in those days and a few
other stars of his calibre. But
this year the best men in the
business from all over the west
are coming to take part in the
Frontier day on Saturday, the
final day of the fair, in which
only the stars who have won out
in elimination contests running
during the entire week. will take
part. 1t really will be a whole
week of sports dear to the west
ern heart, for each afternoon the !
trials will take place from which
winners will qualify for the final
contests on Saturday. Nimble
New Mexico native goats, said
to be the hardest of all animals
to rope, will be used in the rop-
ing contests and in addition to
the unbroken Navajo ponies
which enc hundred Indians will
bring from the reservations,
some famous western outlaws
have been secured for the riding
contests. The elimination con-
tests are open to riders all over
the west and entries are already
coming in. The frontier day
will make Saturday
instead of one of the slowest,
one of the most exciting days of
the big annual carnival.

fallen practically all over the val
ley. OF course the record at Es-
tancia does not mean that pre-
cisely the same amount of rain
has fallen in every part of the
valley, but it represents a fair
average. Yesterday, for exam
pie, there was a very heavy rain
over the east part Of the valley,
while at Estancia it was only 10
of an inch. The record at Es-
tancia for the past week is as
follows: July End latter our last
