GOOD LAND IN NEW MEXICO
HOmesteads About Gone, but Deed
ed Land Can Still be Bought at a
Reasonable Figure. =


Heretofore, the real estate bust
ness, or rather selling real estate on
commission in New Mexico, was not
profitable on account of the large
public domain-free government
land.
A real estate man would advertise,
and some one would be sent from a
community in another state to spy
out the land. The local real estate
man would show the newcomer and
perhaps get $1,000 for locating him
ON 100 or 800 acres of land. This is
all the real estate man would get, as
the newcomer would write his
friends about the fertile lands in
New Mexico that Uncle Sam was
giving away.
Now, things are changed. The
government lands are about gone
This condition of affairs is better
for the real estate man, as those
now seeking lands are willing to buy
at fair prices when they see authen-
tic government reports of the great
yields of wheat, oats, corn, maize,
kaf1ir corn, alfalfa, timothy, blue
grass, and other natural grasses
equally nutritious for fattening all
kinds of stock. These rich lands of
New Mexico sell for about One-half
the price asked in states that are
well advertised. | call your atten-
ton to the fact that few short
years ago, lands were selling in the
plains country of Texas for $1,000
to $4,000 per acre, while across the
state line in New Mexico better land
was offered at SIPS to $3.50 per acre,
and no sales made.
Judicious advertising is what
worked wonders in selling lands in
the Panhandle of Texas, while there
were no sales in New Mexico. y
Let the real estate snen get to-
gether in Clayton during court week
in September or fair week in OctO-
ber, and organize a real estate as
sociation, and let the outside world
know of the great opportunities TO
grow rich by buying New Mexico
lands.

West Hunting Cows
JAMES RYAN.

The cattlemen of the Rocky Noun
tain section are all getting back into
the breeding game as rapidly as pos
sible. The demand for breeding
stock is far in excess of the supply,
and many western cattlemen are
looking forward to the annual Ma
tiOnal Western Stock Show, which
opens in Denver on January 18th,
1916, expecting to be able to pur-
chase choice breeding stock during
that week. One of the features of
this show is an exhibition of heifers
and bulls in carloads. At the last
show there were over two hundred
cars of choice heifers on exhibition,
all of which sold AT the coming
show it is expected there will be
more than double that number, and
with the present demand an active
trade is expected.

HAITIAN REPUBLIC IN REVOLT
Body of President Guillaume is Mu-
lated and Dragged Through Street
Of Port au Prince, the Capital.

Port au Prince, July pa mob
of infuriated Haitians today remov-
ed Nilbrun Guillaume, president of
Haiti, from the French legation,
where he took refuge yesterday, and
shot him to death in front of the
building.
This act of violence followed the
burial of the 100 political prisoners
who were massacred in prison yes
terday morning at the time of the
revolutionary outbreak against Pres
ident Guillaume. The mob, compos-
ed mostly of relatives of the VIC
Tins, invaded the French legation
and seized Guillaume. NJ. Girard,
French Minister to Haiti, protested
vigorously, but was powerless.
Gullaume was dragged forth. Once
in the street the crowd surged "a
round him with imprecations and he
was promptly shot to death, his
body mutilated and dragged through
the streets.
The United States crusier Wash
ington, commanded by Rear Admi-
raj Caperton, arrived off the port
today from Cape Haitien. Prepara-
tiOns are being made to land Amer
lean marines and sailors for the pro-
lection of the French legation. The
French Crusier Des Cartes is ex-
pected to reach Port au Prince to-
morrow.
The mutilated body of President
Guillaume after being dragged
through the streets o, he city, was
buried by several women today in a
cemetery outside the capital. The
city is quiet.

Boards Can't Issue Bonds

The fact that Section 1854 of the
Compiled Laws of 1897, which spe-
officially confers on city boards of
education the right to issue bonds,
does not appear iii the 1915 codiii-
cation, and therefore is repealed,
may affect the authority of such
boards to issue bonds. The discOv-
cry that the statute in question is
missing in the cOdilicatiOn was made
by Attorney General Clancey in con-
nectiOn with an opinion concerning
the recent issue of bonds by the
Clovis school board. However, as
the Clovis bonds were sold to a Den
yer firm on June 1, ten days before
the 1915 cOdiiicatiOn became effect
i've, the repeal of Section 1884 is i'm
material as far as those particular
bonds are concerned. The attorney
general has not yet made an exam
inatiOn of other statutes relative TO
bond issues to determine if the re-
peal of the section referred to does
away entirely with the authority of
city school boards TO borrow money
but will do so later.

BurleSOn Acting President

Washington, July 2}.-If there
were such an Office as Acting Presi-
dent of the United States it would be
administered today by Albert Sidney
Burleson, Postmaster General. With
President Wilson away he is the Sc
nior officer of the Government pres
ent in Washington. President Will
son is at Cornish, n. H., Vice Presi-
dent Marshall is in the west, Secre-
tary Lansing is at Manchester, Mass,
Secretary McAdoO is in Maine, Sec
retary Garrison is at Seabright, N.
j., Attorney General Gregory is at
Blue Ridge Summit, Penn.
The forwarding of this govern
ments latest note to Germany was
the signal for an exodus of the high
er officials. Somebody is on the
ground serving as the acting head
of each department, but most of the
subordinate officials have followed
the example set by their chiefs and
have gone to cooler places.

American Marines Landed


Washington July 28.-American
marines were landed today at Port
au Prince, Haiti, to protect the lives
and property of Americans and 9TH
er foreigners. Rear Admiral Caper-
ton advised the navy department to-
night that he had sent a force ashore
from the Crusier Washington. Rear
Admiral Bennett, acting Secretary
of the Navy, declined to make public
the message, but said: Admiral Ca
pertOn now has the situation well
IN hand"
There was no firing at the ma
rines, although disorder continued
in the city. II was assumed that a
guard had been established at the
French legation and at other points
to protect foreigners.
Admiral Caperton's force of 400
marines and bluejackets is too small
to permit a general patrol of the
city. Should it be deemed necessa-
ry, additional marines will be sent
from Guantanamo. A full regiment
would be necessary TO police the
city, ii is said.

School of Business and Commerce at
State University

albuquerque, ~ NJ, July 29.-Pre-
liminary announcement is made
here today of the establishment of
a school of business and commerce,
as regular department of the state
university. This is not a business
college in the generally accepted
sense. 1t will not teach shorthand
and stenography, nor bookkeeping,
although a working knowledge of
accounting will be an entrance re-
qulrement. The new school will Of
fer full four year courses in mer-
chandising, banking, business ad-
mlnistration, and later, probably, in
advertising, journalism and other
specialized lines. In establishing
this school, which means a consid-
cable addition of highly trained men
to the faculty, the state university
simply is following the lead of the
more progressive state universities
of the east, and meeting a strong de-
mand from New Mexico young men
and their fathers for the instruction
which this school will offer. The
new school, it is hoped, may be or
ganized in time for the first semes-
ter of the college year, opening Au-
gust II, if the faculty requirements
can be met by that time. If not it
will open January /, 1916.

DIR. George Wells.

As a candidate for reonmination for
Clerk Of the Circuit Court DR.. George
Wells should be Loyalty and enthusi-
astically supported in the Democratic
primary next Tuesday.
Or. Wells comes before the voters Of
bis party with such long and com
mendable record Of service 10 them
that his denomination ought TO be as
sured by a majority attesting their
gratitude and confidence so strongly as
20 stand for the future as an evidence
of their appreciation of his worth and
work in the community.
In many respects the Clerkship Is
the most important Office Of trust in
the county and TO all the sterling quail
ties .requifed in It's occupant. DR..
Wells adds the very necessary one oi
experience. His record in the office
has been most creditable.
In Anne Arundel, SIS in all other
parts of Marylprd, il has been the
almost invariable custom to renomi-
nate and re-elect capable clerks. this
being properly regarded by the people
in general as an office to be filled by
the best available man.
This attitude Of the masses of the
voters i'm the general election has been
recognized by his retention on the
party ticket in scores Of instances in
the State. Such candidate, with
very few exceptions has always beer
reelected by the people.
The Democrats of Anne Arundel are
all aware that DR.. Wells is the strong
est vote-getter in the county; and that
his denomination would very mater
tally strengthen the whole ticket in
the fall election
1T is THEREFORE THE BOUN.

Before the Rotary luncheon. Harry
Hertzberg delivered forceful, stimu-
lating address. 1t was brief; full of
common sense. Among other things,
Mr.. Hertzberg mentioned the need for
sentiment in business; the demand for
something higher than doliar-skin-
dollar code of ethics. He thinks that
the various Rotary clubs of the world
may bring some such revolution about.
We hope that he is right. We know
that he is right to certain extent; ;
for the Rotary movement is founded on
the ideal of service. and service is the
badge Of social and commercial Iegene-
ration. Ii is the chief element Of
love. and love is Gods whe tstone.

A Clean Campaign.

Those who have given careful atten-
tion to the movements of Emerson G..
Harrington in his campaign for the
Gubernatorial nomination will have no.
ticed that he has conducted himself in
most manly manner and that he is
gaining strength daily. His has not
been a campaign ot mud singing,
while, on the other hand, the Lee
forces have said some mighty unkind
things about MIR. Harrington which,
when brought to task. they could not
substantiate. Mr. Harrington has not
resorted to scandal, nor has he ridi-
culcd his opponent in any of his speech
es. He has simply stated real facts
facts that the people of the State were
already aware of. BY confirming the
statements which he has made, and
reducing them to unadult Grated facts.
Mr.. Harrington has carried conviction
in his arguments, leaving his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Lee, little, if any ground upon
which to stand.
MIR. Harrington stands before the
voters of Maryland squarely upon his
past record, which is unblemished in
every respect. The people of the
State crave an economical, safe and
honestly conducted government, and
for these reasons alone many of the
votes will win with Harrington. They
now realize that the Governor Of the
State must be free from alliances. I"
deals, " "put-up jobs and other po-
litical entanglements not be.entered in
to. His deal with Mayor Preston on the
annexation plan is indeed enough to
send him to political grave.
With a man of the calibre of MIR.
Harrington at the head of the State
government. the reins will be skill
fully. manfully and steadily manipu-
lated. Therefore, we say. win with
harrington" The Democrats of the
State can throw the cloak of glory
about them if they nominate and elect
him for the Governorship of the State.
1t is up to every true Democrat to
work. and work hard, to nominate
and elect Emerson c. Harrington. the
one man who can fulfill all the quali-
ties necessary to make a conscien-
tious. fearless and faithful public SER
want. One who will not be dictated
to by any power behind the throne; a
man who will be Governor of the State
himself. He alone will handle the
levers that set the wheels of the State
administration into motion, and into
motion for the welfare of the people.
