Want Recognition
AT The Conventions

Halt dozen Spanish.America n
leaders held a secret meeting in
Santa Fe, Saturday, in which they
formulated a course of action in
the state convention Of the repub-
licans and democrats. O. A. Lar
razola Of Las Vegas, was the chief
spokesman. If the minimum re-
cognition demanded by them is
granted in the two conventions,
they resolved to stay within their
parties, otherwise to throw their
strength to that party which recog-
nizes them. Should both parties
ignore their demands then an out
and out Spanish-Ameriean party is
to be organized, which it is de-
eIared will play havoc with both Of
the old party organizations.

Santa Fe To Ballast
Rocky Mt. Route
important Feeder To Be Rock Ballast
ed With Native Stone In The
Immediate Future.

That the Santa Fe considers its
Rocky Mountain extension one of
its most important feeders is CLEAN
ed from the report that this route
is to be rock ballasted between Ra-
ton and Ute Park work on which is
tosbe started in the near future.
The ballasting of this roed bed
will improve the road immensely
and afford more rapid oommunica-
ton with the outside world, also
the comfort of passengers will be
greatly ameliorated to and from
the main line, as the road is quite
rough the entire way, SO that large
engines from the main line cannot
be pressed into service at certain
times when heavy loads must be
hauled.
Rock will be crushed in the Cim-
arron Canon, supposed to be of
very fine quality for this class of
work, in fact the finest in the state
that can be quarried with little ex-
pense to the railway company, SO
it is learned.

FIVE years a resident of Coltax
county, died at her home on the
Rayado Ranch, on one o'clock,
Saturday afternoon, July 4, after
an illness Of six week from an at
tack OF pneumonia, from which the
aged lady could not rally; the word
Of the grim reaper having fore
spoken the results of an acute at
tack Of appendicitis with which the
deceased was victimised several
weeks ago.
Impressive funeral services were
held at the Catholic church on the
ranch, Monday afternoon, the
Fathers Cellier Of Springer paying
a beautiful tribute to the life OF the
deceased and admonishing the sur
viyors to adhere to the teachings
OF their doctrine, after which all
that was mortal OF this grand old
mother, was tenderly conveyed to
the Silent City, where, by the side
OF devoted husband she now rests
in peace, leaving her kin to mourn
her loss. Immense floral offerings
covered the casket and fully two
hundred isiends made up the cor
tege to pay their respect to the de-
ceased.
Petra Beaubien first saw the
light OF day June 20, 1914 in Taos
her parents being Mr.. and Mrs.
Carlos Beaubien. She enjoyed a
good education at an early age and
was an able conversationist in both
the Spanish and English languag-
es, which made for her countless
friends especially so in her declin-
ing years. when to know her was
to entertain the highest friendship.
She was married to J. g. Abreu
in 1859 at>the family home in Taos
moving to what is now the Rayado
where she gave birth to thirteen
children, nine Of whom are sharine
the loss Of mothers care and af-
lection. At the time when she
came to the ranch, in 1859, the
property was yet a part OF the Mi.
randa and Beaubien land grant,
her husband being in the employ
Of Joe Pley, who later returned to
his home IN Spain Mr.. Abreu to-
gether with his brother and A. J.
Calhoun later became the owners
Of the ranch consisting Of about
$4,000 acres, which became the IT,
tie of J. G. Abreu after Maxwell
had purchased the grant from Mi
randa and Beaubien; the hanal pa
pers being executed and delivered
in 1879, since which time the own
ership OF the ranch did not change
hands until 1917 when it was pur-
chased by a colonization company
and cut up into small tracts.
Itwas on this ranch that the first
house was built ia colfax county
and that by Kit Carson in Is46,
long occupied but sine. gone 10
ruins. The Rayado ranch is his
! torie in antiquities and to print its
many phases is to extoll its close
conuection with the subject Of this
81 etch. Itssrved as a stage sta
tion in the days before the railroad
penetrated the then territory. Al
times it was the only place OF re-
fuge for the settlers from hostile
Iodian tribes who we're continuous.

highway bonds which we're to have

c. c. catron in which the validity
OF the bid Of Kansas City firm
was tried.
