Comparative Area and Size
of New Mexico

New Mexico contains l22, 469
square miles being fourth in size
among the states of the Ameri-
can Union. If these 122, 468 Sec
tions of land containing GAO acres
each could be placed in a row
they would extend around the
globe nearly four times. Com.
bined they contain 1880. 100
acres, a quantity sufficient to
furnish a homestead of 100 acres
OF land to 4S9. S76 families. If
we now have $4,000 people in
the state. New Mexico could
furnish a homestead of l6O acres
to every man, woman and child
in her borders and have eaough
left over to give 100 acres to
each of l4O, 600 more families.
New Mexico is 1000 square
miles larger than Great Britain
and Ireland. 1t is larger than
Italy or Austria and ohlya little
smaller than Hungary. 1t con-
tains 1000 square miles more
than the West Indies and 1000
square miles more than the en-
tire group of the Philippines. 1t
is larger than the entire New
England states. 1t contains
1900 squares miles more than
Oklahoma and louisiana CON-
blned. New Mexico is largest
than Virginia. North Carolina,
Maryland. Massachusetts,, Della
ware and Connecticut combin-
ed. Ii is a thousand square
miles larger than Georgia and
Florida and has a territory about
equal to that of Alabama, Miss
issippi and South Carolina. One
county in New Mexico is larger
than Maryland, Rhode Island.
Delaware and Connecticut com.
bined; and she has one forest
reserve in which Delaware and
Rhode Island could be lost. 1t
will be seen that we must do a
great deal of marching before
We march seven times around
New Mexico.

sl.Oo PER YEAR
Important Land Decision

A decision of utmost impor-
tance to homesteaders has been
handed down by the general land
office and may do much to re-
duce the many unwarranted land
contests brought so frequently
against entrymen.
The decision states the posi-
ton of the commissioner st the
general land office in regards to
contests not property prosecuted.
that are seemingly brought to
make trouble for the settlers.
The dictum is that il a contest
is not pushed within the time
allotted by law. and the thirty
days expire, the contestant can
not be reinstated in his rights
and begin it all over again with
the same land and the same
parties involved. 1t has become
one of the favorite outdoor
sports to institute a contest
against land compelling the
entryman to secure attorneys
and go to other expense, only to
find that the contestant does
nothing to perfect his fight dur
ADg the time allowed by law.
The time limit expires and then
he starts all over again and the
contestee must a second time
prepare to defend his rights.
Thus it goes on until, in many
cases, the entrymen becomes ex-
hausted in purse and patience
and allows his land to 90 by
default. The opinion is in the
case of Neiger VS. Keyes and in
wolves a desert entry which was
twice contested by Neiger, who
the second time made the same
charges he did the first.

Boys and Girls Encampment

great encampment we had be-
cause it would take up too much
space.
We left, Clovis at $40 a. m.
and after our long sight seeing.
mountainous journey we arrived
at Albuquerque at 7:15 p. m.
Mr.. Conway and several of the
military boys met us at the train
and gave us instructions as to
how we would be taken to the
fair grounds and also how cur
baggage would be cared for.
After being conveyed to the fair
grounds on street cars we ate
supper and retired in the tents
assigned US by Captain Toulouse.
The tents were heavy military
style with floors underneath.

home. as we might call it. even
If it did frost two or three times.
Next morning was Monday
morning. We did not arise early
in view Of the fact that we were
tired and needed rest also there
was nothing of any Importance
going on to amuse on that day.
We ate breakfast about 7 or 8
O'Clock that morning after which
we walked over the fair grounds
until 10 o'clock when we were
required to assemble in our
camp. Putney Camp, as it was
named, to receive Instructions as
to what we were expected to do
while at the fair.
Each day following we were
required to assemble in the large
tent at 9 o'clock in the morning
'to see demonstrations aad hear
lectures which were under the
supervision of Mr.. Conway and
Miss Ross. The afternoons and
evenings were spent in amusing
ourselves. Side shows, horse
racing. moving pictures, Clown

performances which were very
interesting and appreciated by
every boy and girl.
While in Albuquerque almost
every boy and girl went over the
city and saw some old ancient
relcs as well as new business
houses. We were all taken to
the U. N. M. on Friday where
we were entertained by speeches
made by the many County Super
intendents and also by Mr.. Boyd
and the band made every thing
seem as if it had more life than
usual. The U. N. NJ. students
served refreshments which OF
course made US feel quite at
home. Having an instructor as
a guide we went through the
many departments OF the several
buildings.
OF course while at Albu-
ouerque several yells and songs
were us sginated. The principal
ones being at out Capt Toulouse,
Mr.. Conway, Putney Camp and
Mr.. Buckley.

Mary Ellen Satisfied That at Least tho
Visitors Had a Right to Be

Mary Ellen, the colored maid, had
been carefully instructed by her new
mistress in a number of things con-
corning which she appeared to be pro-
foundly unenlightened. Particular
stress had been laid upon the proper
manner of receiving visitors and OF
informing the mistress Of their pres
ence in the house.
Perhaps altogether too much had
been said about 1t, or perhaps Mary
Ellen had stage fright at the crucial
moment, for when the first callers

Kauff Watches His Team
Mates Pound Out a Vic

Benny KauG sat in the stands just
like an ordinary citizen, and watched
the Brooklyn ZIP iops divide the hon
ors in a double-header at Washington
Park, yesterday afternoon. The most
talked of man in baseball was present
to hold a conference with Robert b.
Ward as a preliminary TO patching up
their little differences brought about
by Benny's sudden leap to the Giants.
Just what words passed between the
employer and cmploye may never be
learned, but they sat together like
little pals for the greater part of the
afternoon. in fact one spectator de-
posed that he overheard the following
conversation: you see, Bob Ksuf

second encounter by a score of TO Z.
Bludgeoned, is right, for the Tip Tops

The winning run was a gift from Jones,
for that over-ambitious player raced
over into centre field and then dropped
fly, allowing two runs 20 cross the
plate.

cups OF coffee with the New York Gil

to stem the home teams attack, but TO
no purpose.

in view. but his throw toward first
landed in right field Murphy recovered
the ball and threw it past kopf. BY
that time nothing mattered much. for
Hartzell and High and Pipp had all

The fourth was a nightmare. Bush
passed the first four batters, forcing
Boone home. Bressler came in and
Hartzell at once knicked him for a
single which brought Sweeney home.
Maisel overran second and was out:
High walked and when he stole second
Schang made a poor throw which per-
mitted Fisher to score.
Peckinpaugh's single, pass to Boone,

Bressler held the Yankees from then
on, while the Athletics showed fight IN

CUBS WIN SIXTH

Chicago, May 2.-The Chicago Cubs
won their,sixth straight game here to-
day, defeating Pittsburgh by score of
5 to in a game shortened 10 five inn
ings by rain and punctuatcd by argu-
ments between players and umpires.
Home runs by Hinchman and Safer
produced the first scores, and fast base
running, a few hits and Cooper's wild
pitch gave Chicago four runs in the
third. Thereafter the visitors. Bresna-
han charged. strove 10 delay the game,
so that the threatening rain would fall
before the legal four and onc-half inn
ings could be played.
Clarke. manager Of the visitors. was
expelled following the umpire's demand
that his team cleasc dilatory tactics,
and Pierce, pitcher Of the Cubs, was
Oustcd for throwing his bat at Cooper,
who he thought tried to hit him with
the ball.
