Visitors Inuited

Visitors to the coming state
fair at Albuquerque have been
invited by President David R.
Boyd to visit the University of
New Mexico and become more
familiar with it's work, DR..
Boyd believes that the large in
crease in attendance at the uni
versity this year, nearly one
hundred percent, is due chiefly
to a better knowledge through
out the state of the work the
state university is doing and the
advantages it offers. Naturally
he is anxious further to extend
that knowledge and as a result
extends a special invitation to
parents to take advantage of the
opportunity and visit the inst
tuition. The university will
maintain a rest room in the state
fair grounds where convenient
arrangements can be made for
visiting the campus. The pres
ent jitney service to the univer-
sity will make the trip an inter-
esting interlude between state
fair sight seeing and amuse
ments.

Half Fare Rate for Fair

Good news was received from
General Manager H. A. Coomer
of the N. M. c., yesterday, in a
letter stating that a special rate
of one fare for the round trip
would be made on that road, ac-
count the Estancia Valley Fair,
selling dates October 7th and 9Th,
good returning including the
9th. The order will be from all
points to Estancia. This will
give people along the road, and
especially Santa Fe people an op-
portunity of seeing for them
selves an exhibit of products
grown in their very door way,
which will open their eyes to not
only the possibilities but the
realities of the Estancia Valley.

State Fair Items

Albuquerque, N. M. Sept. 29.-
The big amusement festures OF
the next state fair will surpass
in magnitude and excellence any
thing that has ever been known
in this section of the country.
While the fair is based primarily
on the development of the re-
sources Of every county in the
state, the management has not
lost sight of the fact that the
people want to be entertained,
and there will not be dull mo.
ment for visitors from early
Monday morning until the lights
are put out Saturday night.
In the first place there will be
eight bands, all of them of high
caliber and several of them of
national reputation. What it,
to have the bands playing |
all the time-what a spirit of en-
and merriment it puts
into the minds and hearts of the
crowd, only those who have ex-
perienced the sensation can ap-
preciate. But the bands will not
be the only or greatest of the
pleasures of the fair. The shows
at the grounds, and especially
The night shows, will hold the
apt attention of the thousands
of visitors to the fair and be-
'ond all doubt will be the great
'st drawing card ever presented I
0 the New Mexico public.

WILL EXHIBIT
At STATE FAIR

Torrance County will have al
exhibit of it's resources at the
State Fair at Albuquerque. This
was definitely decided yester.
day morning when representa-.
tives of the Torrance County
Fair Association and the Estan-
cia Valley Fair Ass location got
together and perfected arrange
ments.
Some time ago the county COM
missioners passed a resolution
appropriating funds for the gath
ering, transportation and dis
play of the resources of the
county at the state fair. Later
it became known that the big
prizes as offered by the Fair
Commission did not include all
the resources of the county as
had been represented to the
county commissioners, but ex-
cluded livestock. On account of
this Misrepresentation, the coun-
board rescinded their former ac-
tion.
Yesterday morning Messrs.
J. R. Mckinley and R. L. Hit of
the Torrance County Fair Asso.
citation came up to interview rep
resentatives of the Estancia VAL
ley Fair Association in regard to
getting an exhibit of products to
Albuquerque. 1t was decided to
send the best exhibit we could
secure from products shown at
both local fairs and any other
products that might be secured
for the purpose, and make the
display in the name of the Tor
rance County Fair Association in
cooperation with the Estancia |
Valley Fair Association" Mr..
Harwell is to have charge of the
the expense to be met t
by subscription, Willard and Es- i
tancia each raising half the
amount necessary.

Albuquerque, N. M, Sept. %.
The biggest order for tents
ever received by manufacturers
in Denver was the one placed
last week by Secretary R. w.
Wiley on behalf of the New
Mexico state fair to be held in
Albuquerque from October II to
October 16. These tents, it
must be remembered, are not
bought, but are rented for the
week of the fair, on account of
the destruction of the fair build
ings by fire some time ago.
They thought | was crazy
whenI told them what l want
ed, said Mr.. Wiley in describ-
ing his experience with the Den
yer tent men. For long time
| couldn't make them believe
that the fair management was
actually willing to spend all that
money in order to give the peo-
Pile of New Mexico the best state
fair that they had ever seen.
However, the order will be filled,
and the visitors to Albuquerque
during fair week will see per-
haps the most remarkable spread
Of canvas ever shown anywhere
in the United States. This in
itself will be a spectacular fea-
ture that would be hard to sur
pass.
The sale of boxes for the fair
has been one of the most en-
,ouraging incidents connected
with the management of the big
enterprise. Letters were sent
out to number of prominent
business men in every part of
New Mexico offering the fair
ooxes for sale at fifty dollars
each. 1t was not pretended that
his sum represented the value
If the boxes to those who were
asked to purchase them. The
,ffer was simply in the nature of

ions. Nineteen boxes have
been sold, and the returns are

The Silo in the Estancia Valley

Two hundred and fifty per-
sons, representing the sturdy
and optimistic farmer citizenship
of the Estancia valley witnessed
a silo demonstration by the coun-
ty agricultural agent. The mere
fact that he was able to get SO
large an audience proves the
deep interest which is being
taken down there in all practical
measures and suggestions for
the permasent establishment of
the farming industry on a sue
cessful scale on the fertile pla-
teau.
Few districts have gone
through such travail as the Es-
tancia valley; and the dross hav-
ing been smelted out, the men
who have remained there are
men who are going to make
good. With most productive
soil, plenty of water underneath,
and that class of men, the slow
development of the Estancia val
ley is bound to be as sure as
death and some peoples taxes. -

CAPITOL HILL
Will HEAR ARGUMENT ON
AUTO-LICENSE TAX money
The Appeal of State Treasurer Young
and Auditor General Powell to
Come Before the Supreme Court
Tomorrow in Philadelphia

The Supreme Court, sitting in Phila-
delphia, will hear argument tomorrow
IN the appeal taken in the case involv-
ing the payment of the auto license tax
money to the State Highway Depart
ment. The Legislature provided in a
bill creating the tax that it should be
set apart for the State Highway De-
partment, but it did not specifically APP
propriate the money, holding that the
fact that it was set apart for certain
purpose acted as specific appropria-
ton, and that was the stand taken
when Auditor General Powell and State
Treasurer Young declined to pay over
the money and the State, through At
tcrney General Bel, brought suit to
compel them to pay.
Judge McCarrell decided in favor of
the State and against Powell and
Young, and the latter, while paying
over the money, took an appeal to the
Supreme Court, which will be argued
tomorrow. Attorney General Bell and
Deputies Hargest and Wolf will appear
for the State; former Attorney General
NJ Hampton TodG and Cashier Thomas
Crichton for State Treasurer Young,
and Chauncey Rogers for Auditor Cen
eral Powell. During the trial of the
case in Harrisburg there was consider
able friction between Messrs. Bell and
Todd and some rather tart language.
and the argument on the appeal to-
morrow NAV take a turn III that direc
ton.
