One of the most interesting we'd
dings of the spring season will take
place in Philadelphia on April %,
when Miss Cordela Drexel Biddle,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. A. J. Drexei
5iddle, will become the bride of An
gier B. Duke of New York. Miss Bid
die, who is only seventeen, inherits
her fathers love of athletics. She was
not to have made her debut for several
seasons to come; but, owing to the
war in Europe, her plans for two years
of study abroad were upset and she
was included in the seasons list of
buds" at the last minute.

TORRANCE TO HAVE
COUNTY AGENT

At meeting Of the board Of
county commissioners held yes.
terday, a resolution was passed
appropriating the necessary
funds to secure for this county a
county agent under the Smith
Lever law.
AS there had previously been
q tentative understanding with
the State College people, pre-
sumably this will result in secur-
ing the much desired county
agent, for at least one year,
We believe the commissioners
acted wisely in this matter.
Surely it is at least w.r. trying
out, and if the results are as
good as hoped, no doubt the
county agent will become a
permanent fixture in Torrance

Cured that day at her home in

The New Mexican Of Tuesday
evening printed the following:
Just at the moment of going
to press it was learned that Mrs.
Angus McGjllivray passed away
late this afternoon while bathing
at the McGilivray home on Don
Gaspar avenue. She was one of
the most prominent women of
the city and the news will be a
tremendous shock.
Physicians at 5 O'clock had not
definitely determined, but it is
believed Mrs. McGillivray was
seized with a heart attack while
bathing
Mr.. McGiIlivray was at his
ranch northeast Of Estancia.
His brother, Allan McGillivray,
happened to be in town with his
car when the word came and i'm
mediateIy drove out to the ranch.
Doubtless the brothers went in
to Santa Fe from there by auto.

Governor Mcdonald has issued
a proclamation lifting the live
stock quarantine on stock ship
ments from Arizona, Colorado
and Texas. This was effective
the 18th. It helps some. and
doubt ess the quarantine will be
entirely removed before very
long.
The government weekly news
letter dated April 18th, says:
The announcement that on
April l, for the first time since
the appearance Of the disease
last October, there were no ami
mails known to be affected with
the foot-and mouth disease in
the United States, is believed to
indicate that the end of the long
campaign is in sight. Addition
al cases are expected from time
to time-in fact two new herds
were reported from Illinois the
morning after the announce
ment was made-but such cases
are regarded as more or less
sporadic and if promptly report
ed can be dealt with before the
contagion has had an oppor-
tunity to spread widely,
Under the best of circum-
stances, however, it will be some
time yet before all danger of a
new outbreak is over. In sec
tons where the disease has been
prevalent the disease is likely TO
linger in manure, hay, feeds of
various kinds, au6 on the ground
itself. Even after premises
where the disease has existed
have been thoroughly disinfected
| it is not considered wise to intro
duce new stock until at least GO
days have passed.
In the opinion of the authori-
ties, however, the most essen
tial thing now is that there
should be no concealed sources
of infection. For the informa-
ton of the public and the stock
owners in particular the Depart
ment of Agriculture is issuing a
revision of its former publica-
tions on the pestilence and this
pamphlet, known as Farmers
Bulletin $50, Foot and-Mouth
Disease" " will be sent free on
application.

WHAT ABOnT THIS?

Santa Fe, April THE boart
of county commissioners toda,
reduced the delinquent taxes Of
the New Mexico Central railway
so per cent and remitted the in
terest and penalty. The taxes
amounted to $26,605 81 and the
interest thereon to S2, 386. 10.
This action was taken because
an effort to collect the entire
sum would "jeopardize the con-
tinued operation Of the road, "
which is at present operated at a
heavy loss. An attempt will be
made to induce the court to au-
thorize the sale Of receivers GER
tifcates to pay the sum agreed
upon, amounting to $3.50 rs,
within the next sixty days.
The tax commission also reduc-
ed the assessment Of the New
Mexico Central 80 per cent in
the same breath that it raised
the other railroads II per cent.
1t is now understood that the
other railroads, including the
Rock Island, which also is in the
hands of receiver, will assert
that they are also losing money
on New Mexico traffic and will
fight the blanket raise in the
courts, which may tie up the
tax receipts in more than one
county.
The board of county commits
sioners took a fling at house bill
1863, which became a law at the
last legislative session, and which
relates to the sale Of tax certii-
Gates, 1t is now apparent that
the law contains a joker which
will permit compromises on de-
linquent taxes, so that negligent
may receive a reward
of merit in the shape Of a reduc-
ton in their overdue tax bills.
The county commissioners adopt
eda stringent resolution which
says:
1t would be unfair, unjust
and inequitable to the many peo,
pie, firms and corporations who
have paid promptly all the taxes
levied and assessed against their
property, to allow others, after
the expiration of years, to take
advantage of any law by which
they might profit by their own
delinquency, thereby escaping
their duties and casting a heavi-
er burden on those who have
obeyed the law and paid their
taxeg in full and been out Of the
use of the money and the inter-
est thereon for several years,
Therefore be it resolved, that
the minimum sum to be paid for
the redemption and purchase of
tax sale certificates bid in by the
county of Santa Fe shall be the
full amount of all taxes, penal
ties, interest and costs due
against the property sold. Al
