Milton McWhorter writes from
PlAyas to the III Paso Herald, urging
that the Borderland route be chang
ed, 50 as to cut Lordsburg out. He
proposes to leave the Borderland west
Of Gage, follow the ridge road down
to Hachita, then west along the
Southwestern road by Plays and
Animas to Rodeo, where the Border
land will be picked up again. He says
J. NJ. Trippe will meet any party in
terested at Deming and pilot them
over the route. The Herald refers
the proposition to the LIBERAL for
such comment as may be necessary
II the LIBERAL is not mistaken Mr..
McWhorter is a Los Angeles mar who
is doing some oil prospecting in the
Playas valley. 1t has never known a
Los Angeles man in recent years who
willnot on any and all occasions knock
the Borderland. However, the LIB
ERAL would be glad to have any one
interested in the BoIderland make
the trip with Mr.. Trippe. These are
some of the things that will be found.
In the Playas on the route described
will be found in the rainy season Of
the year a lake that would be hard to
negotiate. A year ago the KIT cattle
company shipped some steers from
Hachita, and the chuck wagon had to
travel over this road. Holmes Mad
dox, the foreman Of the company,
tells the LIBERAL the water was so
deep that 1t flooded the chuck box on
the wagon. West of there, lear Pratt
station is six miles of malpai rock.
the country is full Of rocks from the
size Of a cigar box up to several feet
on the edge, partly buried in the
ground, that will cut out a set Of tires
in one passing. Many travellers over
the Borderland will remember a place
in the road, near Lanark where they
had great trouble with the rocks
buried in the road, this piece Of road,
not more than an hundred feet long
caused more trouble than all the rest
of the road from Ell Paso to Lords
burg. How would the people inter
ested in the Borderland like to have
five or six miles of such road to travel
over? They can get it by following
Mr.. McWhorter's advice. The first
road seekers out from Douglas, look
ing for a road to Lordsburg, went
through Antelope Pass, after leaving
Rodeo, and got a taste of this malpai,
Ed Grindell, the great Douglas boos-
ter, made three trips over this route,
one from Lordsburg to Douglas, and
twice from Douglas to Lordsburg,
When returning on his second trip he
was advised to go by the way of the
Animas valley and Granite Gap, which
he did, and wrote to his Lordsburg
adviser that the Granite Gap route
was 100 per cent better than the other
route, and he would never again go by
the way Of Antelope pass, and the
malpai.

| in many years. He was first convicted of operating a gaming table. fined s45o and sentenced to six months in the pen itentiary. The court of appeals affirmed the case.
 Minto then filed an application, signed by Judge Gunter, for a parole, which two out of three of the pardon board ap- proved. The governor declined to grant the parole on the ground of the invalidity of Mintos sentence, it having been as- certained that the court should have sen- tenced Minto to six months in jail rather than in the penitentiary.
 Judge Gunter later released Minton on n writ of habeas corpus. whereupon the state appealed to the court of appeals to set aside it's judgment affirming the case, to affirm as to conviction, and to remand for a new sentence.
 Minto then appealed to the supreme court for writ of certiorari to the court of appeals to review the decision of the lower court. The supreme court refused the writ, whereupon the court of appeals dismissed the appeal on the habeas cor pus.
 The next step in the famous case was the refusal of Judge Gunter to re-sen- tence Minto. The state then petitioned the court of appeals for mandamus to require Judge Gunter to sentence Minto

ON LOOKOUT FOR COTTON SEED TRUST Abercrombie, Hughes and Todd Ask Federal
 Investigation

Washington, September 26-(Spe- al.)--At the instance of Representa- tive Abercrombie and Representative Hughes of Georgia. George Carroll Todd, assistant to the Attorney Gen eral, today promised that the depart ment of justice at once would take steps to ascertain whether there Is a 'cotton seed trust" and if so, to take action against it. The situation in the cotton seed oil trade also will be taken into consideration.
 While not specifically charging the existence of a trust. the two members of Congress presented circumstantial evidence in support of their avowed telief in it's existence. Of 5000, 900 tons of cotton seed produced annually, they said, practically all was used in this country for stock feed and fertilizer and cotton seed oil and of the oil only one-eiShth of the output was shippe abroad. Thus. they concluded the war
 "pe should have no effect on the market.
 lLe this fact, they said, the price had dropped from $2O a ton, the nor nal figure and the price year ago, to Si0 ton, and this shrinkage they attributed to concerted action of the interests which purchase the product. Tle producers. they ayerred, had no other market to which to turn and were obliged to accept any price which these interests might dictate. Through tho depreciation they figured the pro- drcers had suffered loss of s60,0o0,- 000
