DECISION AFFIRMED
I, IN CHAVES CO. CASE
\ BY SUPREME COURT
ERROR IN NAME OF STATE
WHERE IRRIGATION COMPANY
WAS INCORPORATED is NO
GROUND FOR ATTACKING
JUDGMENT

The case of tbs riverside Irriga-
ton company, appellant, VS.. John G..
Caldwell, ct al, appellees, which was
taken to the supreme court from
Chayes county on a technicality, was
decided by that court today. In a
suit for the foreclosure Of a mort
gage given by the Riverside Irriga-
ton company, it was enormously
stated that the company was organ
lied under the laws of New Mexico,
when in reality it was organized I'M
der the laws of Missouri, and in its
answer the company alleged that this
error nullified the proceedings. The
plaintiff in the action demurred to
this, and the demurrer was sustained
by the district court Of Chaves conn
ty. The supreme court affirms the
decision of the lower court, and the
syllabus says:
"Wnere a defendant corporation is
sued upon a contract, which recited
that such corporation is organized
under the laws of a given state, and
the complaint in such action enron,
eously alleges that such corporation
was organized under the laws of an
other state, and process is served up
on the statutory agent of the corpor-
alton which was a party to the con
tract, and ii appears that such cor
poration had full notice Of the fact
that it was the corporation intended
to be sued, and judgment, by default,
is rendered against such corporation,
it cannot, upon the sole ground that
it was enormously alleged to have
been incorporated and organized I'M
der the laws Of a given state, when
in truth and in fact it was organized
under the lawsSo t another state. at
tack such judgment.

Contractors OF STATE
KEPT HUSTLNG BY
UNUSUAL PROSPERITY
IN BUILDING TRADES
ONLY six BIDS SUBMITTED FOR
NEW BUILDINGS FOR UNlvER-
SlTY or NEW MEXICO; MODEL
Ed AFTER STYLE or ANCIENT
TAOS.

Albuquerque, II. M, May 29.-
There is not a responsible building
contractor in New Mexico who is idle,
according to J. L. LaDriere, well
known local architect, who has dis
covered prosperity in the building
trades in competition with bids for
the erection Of two new science build
ings for the New Mexico State Uni
yersity. Ordinarily for a contract of
the kind involving the expenditure OF
$4,000 there would be a hundred bid
ders. Thus far only six sealed bids
have been received. The specifica-
lions are not unusual and the univer-
sity has the money available. But,
according to LaDriere, there are very
few contractors in the state, or the
southwest but are tied up in work
which will occupy them until the end
of the year or longer. The two new
university buildings will be labora-
tories, one for chemistry and the 9th
er for physics. They will be built
in the Pueblo Indian architecture and
were designed by Walter Burley Grit
fin Of Chicago, after Taos pueblo ar
c~hitectuTe.
In addition to the two new main
buildings a number of additional cot
tages are being built for students,
the capacity of the dormitories hav-
ing been exhausted. The universities
freshman class will number over 100.
OF the As boys and girls who will
graduate from the Albuquerque high
school June 2, IS boys and 10 girls
will enter the university when it
opens on August %. One of the
smaller Pecos valley towns will send
IL new students, all this years grad
yates of the high school, while dele
cations of six and eight from a sin
gle town have become Of common oc-
currence.
Albuquerque's graduating class is
typical of the increased use of New
Mexicp's higher educational institu-
tions. In addition to those who will
enter the state university five boys
will go to the state agricultural col
lege and six girls to one or the other
of the state normal schools. But
three of the As graduates will leave
the state for their education. One
goes to Annapolis, one to the war
college at West Point, and one to
the Colorado School Of Mines.
