READER" COMES AGAIN.


knowing ones have not furnished
US with a copy Of the law in re-
gard to crawling the roads, still
| hope that we are learning some.
One authority says that we are
wasting $4,000 a year, another
says that it is only $4,000. One
says that the State will pay as
much as the county pays, /. e., II
the county pays $4,000 the State
will pay $4,000, but if the coun-
| ty pays $4,000 the State will
pay $4,000. Perhaps We shall
find out the truth before the a.
lection comes off
One authority has the roads
all graveled, shade trees and such
things thrown in and money to
spare, while another has only a.
bout half the roads graveled and
the county bankrupt. Perhaps
these are the extremes and the
truth lies somewhere between
these statements. You tell us
that the gravel committee thinks
that We can have gravel deliver
ed in Hickman at SIS per ear.
Now how large is that car TO be,
i. e., how many yards of gravel
will it holdl Then ii it can be
brought to Hickman for $50, can
II be brought to Cayce, Fulton,
IShuck Switch, Dodds and other
points in the county at the same
Ipricel A great part of the ex.
pense of crawling the roads is
the hauling
In Graves and Galloway coun'
ties they have plenty of gravel
at home and they have already
put gravel on several of then
roads. But all parts of the
roads are not the same distance
from the gravel pits.
Teams haul from five to fifteeI
loads per day, owing to the dis
! tance hauled In the same way
we should need to have ou
gravel brought to the neares
. point on the railroad TO the place
TO be graveled The roads IL
Galloway county are graveled oil
the half pay plan, /. e., tn
Farmers haul the gravel for hal
price to get the roads gravele'
near their farms. They also hav
some sort of agreement with tn
: iofficials as to how wide am
how deep the gravel Is to be pa
on the roads, owing to the a
mount of travel
Now suppose that We want l
put the gravel II feet wide AM
Az inches deep; II will requr
2640 yards or loads OF gravel pc
mile. Ii the farmers will furnls
the teams at half price and III
gravel is at a nearby railroad, h
can make perhaps . loads a da
or 44O days for one team Blu
we suppose there Will be :
teams and they will require pei
haps 20 loads at 81 a day
the farmer works at half prize
Y and there is load TO each teal
/. we can multiply $3.50 by 40 an
d we have LOO to be added

q. put the gravel only 5 feet wid
10 aud 3 inches deep on small'
a roads. These roads may be furt
u err from the railroad 50 We sha
~ count 4 loads per day But
at mile of this road will require oil
he ly 1920 loads, so We can haul
I'm 800 days for one team or Z
days for 10 teams, making -
tunes $3.50 1925 per mile to |

TO EXAMINE LAND

&Aioed A'' A's't u N'iS ave
DIR. Charles T. Kirk, professor
of geology in the University of
New Mexico, and DR.. John D.
Clark, professor of chemistry.
with two student assistants, left
this city today on what business
men generally consider one of
the most important missions ever
undertaken for state institution
in New Mexico. The state uni
versity owns 305,000 acres of
selected and approved land, in
addition to that which has been
sold, or contracted for sale, out
of various grants of congress.
The land is distributed fairly
evenly in the four sections of the
state. At the minimum prices
at which it can be sold it is
worth a little more than one
million dollars to the university.
The university government, how
ever, is convinced that large
areas of this land are worth
far more than the minimum
prices fixed by act Of congress.
The two professors, one an ex-
pert mineralologist and trained
photographic engineer, and the
other an expert in the chemistry
of soils, are going to make an
economic survey of every acre of
this great acreage; to determine
and report in detail to the uni
versity authorities for what pur-
pose each acre is most valuable.
Thus the salt bearing lands, of
which the university has known
holding of more than 1000 acres,
will be thoroughly and carefully
examined with a view to future
development. The party, travel
in a mountain wagon, and with
saddle horses, go first to Anton
Chico, the Bell ranch in San Mi
guel county, and through Union
and Colfax counties. The work
in northeastern New Mexico will
occupy this summer. Four years,
it is estimated, will be required
to complete the work; but when
finished the university will be
able to state the probable re-
sources of every acre of land it
owns; its water supply possibili
ties, the chemistry of its soil and
its possible mineral values. The
survey, it is confidently expected,
will double the value of the uni
versity lands.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Grimmell
came from Clifton, Arizona, last
Friday, and Mr.. Grimmell has
taken up his former work as
clerk and storekeeper in the rail
road shops here. The climate at
Clifton did not agree with him,
and although the position there
was better, he deemed it best to
return here on account of the
fine climate of the valley. Mrs.
Grimmell departed Saturday for
a months visit with her parents
at P::ttsburg. Pennsylvania.
