INTERSTATE ROUTE
GETS A BIG BOOST
Westgard Thinks Our Route
Is Best for Summer. We
Should Get Busy

san Antonio, Texas, Iuly 1s.--Already
inquiries are being made as 10 the most
feasible route for auto travel 10 Cali
fornia for tho Pacific Panama Exposi
ton. During his recent trip TO New
Mexico, Col. A. l.. westRard mapped cot
two routes, one for fall travel and the
other for summer travel.
Speaking Of the proposed routes he
said:
"Tn the summer time the route
would suggest would be from San An.
tonic TO Amarillo, thence to Tucumcari,
N. NJ, Albuquerque, Magdalena, Spring
vile, Ariz., petriHed forests, Flagstaff,
Grand Canyon, Needles, through the
Mohave desert, where che roads are
good, Barstow, San Bernardino and Los
Angeles.
Zone Of the best fall routes would be
from Fort Stockton to FL Paso, 20 Dem.
ing. n. NJ, Lordsburg, Douglass, Ariz.,
Bisbee, Tombstone, Tucson, Florence,
Phoenix Yuma Brandy, FL Centre and
San Diego, California" "
Col. Wcstgard has been engaged in
making trip maps, taking in every
point along the routes he has Travelled,
showing all the physical features Of the
routes, the bridges, culverts and lack Of
them, soils, proximity Of road, building
materials, grades topography, mileage,
compass directions, crops, density of
population, climatic conditions, all Of
which data is given 20 the National
Highways association and the Trans.
continental Highways association, of
which Col. Wcstgard Is n director, TO
be placed before the government In its
plan for the building Of $4,000 miles of
improved highway, for which bill is
pending in Congress.
This compliment coming from Mr..
Westgnrd shows the world what can and
| will be accomplished II Tucumcari and
other towns in New Mexico along the
Interstate Postal Highway get busy and
make this road what II should be.
Everybody east of here wants to
see Tucumcari and we want everybody
TO see Quay county. II will be remem.
bsred that Mr.. westgard passed through
here a few weeks ago but had very
little to say. Now, that he has express.
ed himself after getting back to san
Antonio We appreciate the truth Of his
statement.

QUAY NEAR THE TOP
IN TAX COLLECTIONS

Lee q. Pearson and his able assistant
Mrs. A. r. Carter have made an ex-
cellent record in the collection Of taxes
for 1913. The whole amount as reported
to Santa Fe last week was $107 ,821 81
Curry county taxes amounted TO $97 ,31s.-
81. Quay stands third in per centsge
of taxes collected. Mckinley county,
because of the prompt payment Of its
immense railroad and corporation taxes
heads the list with 9l.30 per cent of
the 1918 taxes collected, Luna and Quay
being the only two other counties with
more than 30 per cent, the former hav-
ing collected 90.34 and the latter 90.06
There are four counties that have collect
ed from so TO 90 per cent: Lincoln,
ss.76; Grant, 1915; Bernalillo, s3.70,
and Valencia, sl.63. This speaks pretty
well for the present administration, the
assessor as well as the collector, because
the property must be rightly assessed II
the collection for same is expected "a
be made.
Quay county can boast Of Hne
buncL of well qualified officials and
everything is run in business like man
ner.

A FEW OF THE REASONS
WHY THE ENGINMEN KICK

C) In October Of 1913, committees
representing all Locomotive Engineers,
Firemen and IIostlers ON Western Rail.
roads presented request TO their re-
spective Managements for on increase
in wages and improved working con
ditions. accompanying such request with
the usual notice, required by existing
schedules, that within thirty days the
schedules would be opened fer these re-
visions,
(2) Immediately the railroad Man
agcments served notice on the Engine
mems Committees that all existing
schedules would be terminated within
thirty days. thus, for the first time in
the history of railway wage negotia.
tions, taking from railway employees
schedules that had required more than
thirty years. in many instances, to build
mp.
(3) The railroads then proposed that
a "service period be substituted for
the mileage basis of pay, basis long in
effect on practically all railroads. Ne
gotiations between committees repre-
senting the railroads and tho enginemen
eliminated in both of these committees
submitting revised propositions, the
railroads insisting upon a modified form
OF their "service period" and the en-
ginemen insisting upon the mileage basis
Of pay and allowance for extra work as
in the past.
az Upon submitting the matter to
the engineers, Firemen and Hostlers EN-
ployed on Western Railroads IL was
learned that by an almost unanimous
vote the proposition of the Managers
was rejected and n strike approved.
(5) Upon the supposition that the
Federal Board OF Mediation and Con-
ciliation will propose arbitration, as di
rected in the present Federal Law, the
engiuemen will necessarily reject any
proposition to arbitrate, because in all
| recent arbitration railroads have re-
undated arbitration awards and have
not been bound thereby,

Superintendent William p Mills. 4,

Superintendent william p. Mills, of
the New Mexico Insane Asylum, has
requested Judge Leib, and also the
other District Judges of the State, not
to send any additional patients to that
Institution for the present. This action
is due TO the crowded condition Of the
asylum, which is carrying about sixty
more inmates than IL should attempt to
accomodate; a condition that will prob
ably exist until in some way additional
quarters are provided.
For this reason Judge Leib will not
hear any more lunacy cases until condi-
tions at the asylum change, unless the
parties are extremely violent and ac-
tually dangerous to the community,
when they will have 10 be- confined in
the county Jail until such time as quar-
ters can be provided for them at the
asylum.

Durango Fish Hatchery To Be
Enlarged.


S. E. Land, state superintendent Of
hsh hatcheries, who spent the night
in town on department business,
states that plans have been perfect
ed for enlarging the Durango fish
hatchery, and the work will be done
during the month of October and com.
pleted in sufficient time to accom-
modate the fall hatch. The arrange
ment to enlarge the capacity of the
local plant instead of establishing an
other plant will meet with the hear
ty approval of all residents of the
southwest. While in. the city Mr..
Land inspected the hatchery and re-
ported he found it in first class con-
dition. Supt. Hamor has several hun
dred thousand fish ready for distri-
button and the same will be placed
in the different streams of the Colo
rado portion of the San Juan basin.
On his way to Durango, Mr.. Land
made a trip to the Antonito hatch
cry thirty miles from the town and
placed there about 100000 eggs to be
later planted in the Conejos river.
