ROY EDITOR VISITS CLAYTON
Greatly Impressed With Evident
Enterprise Of City, and Predicts
Great Future.


Irwin Ogden, Sr, editor of the Roy
Spanish-American, and one of the
leading citizens Of Mora county,
spent Thursday in the city looking
after business before the Clayton
Land Onice. Mr.. Ogden made the
trip from Roy in an automobile, and
the country contiguous to Clayton
was a revelation TO him, and the city
itself was more than he expected. It
was bis first visit to the Union coun-
ty capitol In an interview with The
News man he said:
Viewed from the standpoint of
an outsider, Clayton is a most prom
ising town. The many evidences of
progress on every hand, her many
and desirable public utilities and
the evident public spirit of her cit
izens would do credit to any town
several times her size. v
Backing up this condition in the
towns are the immense areas of ar
able lands surrounding her in every
direction, and which are already
showing the civilizing effect of the
plow If Clayton could become the
town she now is merely from the
partial employment of the natural
advantages of prairie grass and wat
er, what may she not become when
the rich territory surrounding is
developed into an agricultural coun-
try with an acre of cultivated land
producing as much in dollars and
cents as section Of raw prairie can
produce by range methods?
Clayton is bound to be city of
ten thousand people within the next
few years, and it will be doing only
what hundreds of towns west of the
Mississippi have already done. 1t is
not pipe dream to look into The
future and see for Clayton the
great development and growth that
has happened in so many parallel
instances in other towns and states
4 Mr.. Ogden was accompanied on
his visit. to Clayton by G. r. Aber-
nathy and R. W. Boulware, two of
the big farmers of the Roy country.
They were greatly pleased with
Clayton, and with the territory ly-
ing between this city and their home
town. They left Friday noon for
Roy, expecting to make the drive
before night

State Uniyersilg-Iand

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June iO-The
University of New Mexico began this
week an economic and resources
survey of its {305,000 acres of New
Mexico lands which it is confident
ly expected will greatly enchance
the value of the lands and encour-
age their future Development, and
which will be of almost equal value
to adjascent and contiguous lands
owned by the other state institutions
or in private Ownership. Under var
ious grants of congress the Univer-
sity has title to lands in almost ev-
cry county in New Mexico. At the
minimum sale prices fixed by con-
gress these lands are valued at well
over one million dollars. In the con-
fident belief that the lands are
worth many times that amount, in
soil, water and mineral resources,
the university government this week
sent DR.. Charles L. Kirk, professor
of geology, and DR.. John ID. Clark,
professor of chemistry, with two
student assistants, to eastern San
Miguel county whence they will
spend the rest of the summer in
working over University lands
through Quay, Union and Colfax
counties. The entire survey will oc-
cupy the summer time of the two
professors for four years,
DR.. Kirk is an expert minerologist
and photographic engineer, while DR.
Clark is a specialist in soil chemis-
try. Their reports will determine,
as closely as surface indications can
show, the probable soil values, wat
or resources and mineral content of
every acre of University land. The
value of the salt bearing lands, more
than 1000 acres, owned by the Uni
versity in Torrance and SocOrro
counties, is estimated at we'll over
million dollars, while vast areas
Of. the land lie in highly mineral
lied districts. There is some timber
land which has not been sold. The
present heavy demand for state land,
present in all parts Of the state, have
determined the government of the
University TO sell no more Of the
institutions land until more is known
Of their actual resources and prob
able values.

Bryan Quits Cabinet

Washington, June Sth.-William
Jennings Bryan, three times a can
didate for the president of the Unit
ed States and author of nearly thir-
ty peace treaties with the principle
nations of the world, resigned today
as secretary of state as a dramatic
sequel TO his disagreement with
PRECEDENT Wilson over the govern
menCs policy toward Germany.
The resignation was accepted by
the president. The cabinet then ap-
proved the response which had been
prepared 10 the German reply TO
the Lusitania note. Acting Secretary
Robert Lansing will sign the docu-
ment and tomorrow it will be cabl-
ed TO Berlin.
Secretary Bryan will return to
private life when his resignation
takes place. 1t is said he expects to
continue his political support of the
president.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might possibly
draw the United States into war,
Mr.. Bryan submitted his resigna-
tion in letter declaring that "the
ssue involved is of such moment that
TO remain a member of the cabinet
would be as unfair to you as it
would be TO the cause which is near
est my heart namely the preven-
ton of war"
Mr. Wilson's letter of acceptance
was as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Bryant accept
your resignation only because you
insist upon its acceptance, and l ac-
cept with much more deep regret
with a feeling of personal sorrow.
Our two years of close association
have been very delightful TO me. Our
judgments have accorded in pract-
ically every matter of official duty
and of public policy until now; your
support of the work and purpose of
The administration have been gen.
erous and loyal beyond praise, your
devotion TO the duties of your great
Office and your eagerness TO take
advantage Of every great opportuni-
ty for service it offered has been an
example TO the rest of us; you have
earned our affecuonate admiration
and friendship. Even now we are
not separated in the object we seek,
but only in the method in which we
seek it.
ut is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the sec
retaryship of state goes to much
deeper than regret. l sincerely de-
plore it. Our objects are the same
and we ought 10 pursue them to-
gether. l yield 10 your desire only
because | must and wish you God
speed in the parting. We shall con-
tinue TO work for the same causes
even when we do not work in the
same way.
with affectionate regard,
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"
