STATE FAIR

albuquerque, N. NJ. Sept. "A real
state exposition is what the New
Mexico state fair commission has
created for New Mexico people in
the 34th annual fair to be held next
week in Albuquerque from October
5 to 10. Il will be the second fair
since the institution was taken over
by the state government and placed
in charge of the commission and the
commissioners have made a strenu-
Gus effort to make the annual event
this year of genuine statewide inter
est and value. The commission has
met with much more ready cooper
alton from the people Of the state in
the way Of exhibits than was ever
accorded the fair while il was strict
ly an Albuquerque institution. and
every county in the state will be rep
resented not only in one. but in all
of the exhibit departments, seven
teen in number. From the poultry
show to the baby show entries have
been filed from all of New Mexico's S
twenty-six counties ard the result
has been a necessary increase of ex-
hibit buildings which is crowding the
present grounds. While by no
means comparing with the great an
nual expositions of the older agricul-
tural states, the showing of farm
and orchard products, of dairy and
range cattle, Of horses, sheep and
goats, at Albuquerque will make a
fairly convincing demonstration of
how extensive New Mexico's re-
sources are. Purses and premiums
aggregate 500, 200 this year and are
sufficiently large in every depart
ment to make competition worth
something more than public spirit
and glory to the winners.

VANCE BROS. THRESHED
$4,000 BUSHEL OF WHEAT

Vance Brothers report that they
have threshed almost $4,000 bushels
of wheat this season in the country
north of Melrose. There have been
three other threshers running, but
so far the Dairyman-Farmer has
been unable TO get report of how
much each has threshed, but 1t is
safe to say that none have run under
25 900 bushels. Figuring the other
three at $4,000 each, the country
north Of Melrose has threshed 125,
900 bushels of wheat, but the
chances are that II will run consider

FINDS A DEFECT IN THE
FREIGHT RATES TO TUCUM

A letter of inquiry written by II.
M. Henson, the local authority on
freight rates, To the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washing

ing of the rate on sugar from Cali
fornia to Tucumcari received proper
recognition and the following letter

Mr.. n. M. Henson,
Tucumcari, Y Mexico.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of
the llth instant. in which you ask to
be advised as to the date the rates
prescribed by the Commission in the
above-entitled opinion>will apply to
Tucumcari, N. NJ.
Upon an examination OF the opin-
ion and order in the case referred to,
we find that through inadvertance
the order omitted Tucumcari in fixing
rates to points west thereof. II
should have That on or before
November ID, 1914, the rates to
stations west of and including
Tucumcari, N. NJ. shall be so cor
rected as to not exceed the rates to
the Missouri River y, etc.
II Is believed, that notwithstanding
the error in the order, the carrier.
will. in correcting their rates to con-
form to the opinion of the Commits
ion, also correct the rate to Tucum'
carl. However, if this correction
is not so made by November Is, 1914
and you will advise us of that fact
the matter will be presented to the
commission for such action as it may
deem proper in the premises.
Respectfully,

Chihuahua, Mex. Sep q. All hopes
of bringing peace between Villa and
Carranza have been abandoned by
the more conservative sympathizers
Of Villa, who have used every effort
to re-establish friendly relations be-
tween the two leaders. Two-thirds
of Villas army and all the artillery
numbering SO pieces have already
arrived at Torreon and it is expected
they will begin their march into Car
rama territory before Monday. The
terrific strain and work in preparing
for a quick battle with his former
chief has told on the iron-built Villa
and he has been in the hands of his
physician for two days. Interview
ed at his bedside this morning as to
what his military plans were. Villa
merely answered:
" Lick them, never discuss my
plans with anybody. much less with
a newspaper man." he continued
laughing. But will tell you this
much: My men took Zacatecus and
San Luis Potosi last night, The lat
ter city was supposed to be a Carran-
"a stronghold. The Carranzaists up
on hearing that General Maxine
Garcia was going to attack both
towns, fled without firing shot. "
''Do you believe that Carranza
will put up a fight ?" asked. "Of
course. He has everything to win
and nothing to lose. Carranza was
nothing before made him. He will
he worse off than that after | unmake
him. Mexico must have peace. To
have peace it must have one man
rule, am the strongest man in
Mexico and now | am going to run
this country the way it should be
run. Twill not be president: will
be the ruler. Mark my words"
Iagain reminded Villa of interven'
tion. He grinned, humorously, IA
he picked his teeth with knife.
you know much in some matters
and very little in otf er0, he an
swered. In this one you seem t.
know nothing. Let ine tell you
amigo, Wilson will never do any
thing against Panco Villa. | have hi
promise to that.

VILLA AND CARRAMzA
ARE FIGHTING It OUT
Late Reports Look Like All
Serious Trouble Will Be
Averted

The beginning of actual hostilities
between the divided Constitutionalst
army awaits provisional president
Carranza's answer to Gen. Francisco
Villas demand that he resign in ia
vor of Fernando Iglesias Calderon as
provisional president. As far as
could be learned here, however,
there has been established no actual
armistice, and both Carranza's and
Villas forces continue preparations
and movements toward each other.
The condition Of the railroads and
communications between Chihuahua
City, Villas headquarters, and Mex
leo City probably will delay the ne
gotiations between the northern
leaders representatives and Alvaro
Obregon, and other of Carranza' s
representative who are expected TO
confer at Aguascalientes, in an effort
To restore peace. The meeting can
not take place for several days, II
was estimated.
From all sides today came reports
of strong pressure aside from Villas
demand, brought to bear on Carran-
IA, that he resign at once as acting
head of the revolutionary party
Jose Santos Chocano. the Peruvian
poet and publicist, who for several
months has been travelling with both
Carranza and Villa, has telegraphed
the latter that as friend of the rev.
olution he deems it highly necessary
that Carranza resign at once.
Partisans of Calderon have sprung
up from all quarters, and represen'
tatives of the old federal or "Centif'
leo" party declared that his installa'
tion as provisional president would
be the best means of assuring al
least temporary peace.
