Land Slide.

During the noon hour today, hun
dreds of tons of mud and stone came
tearing down Smelter hill, causing a
canon-like roar The avalanche start
ed about 30 feet from the top of the
the hill and swept everything before

it spread over considerable area and
stopped. Large rocks loosened by
the avalanche came bounding down
the mountain side directly in line
with the smelter, but met with OBJ
structions that stopped their prog

Those in charge of the smeter have
anticipated trouble from slides this

UNUSUALLY INTERESTING
ISSUE OF GALLUP PAPER

We are in receipt of the "New In
dustrial Era Edition" of the Gallup
Independent.
This supplement is certainly cred
it to the publishers of the lndepend-
ent. 1t contains rs pages of very in
teresting reading matter, both news
and advertising, and required consid-
cradle money, time and energy to ac-
complish the undertaking.
1t gives most valuable information
concerning everything of interest
within hundred miles or more of
Gallup, including very appropriate
and interesting write up of the San
Juan railway bill, and the efforts
made by the Durango Exchange and
other organizations, as well as indi-
viduals in getting the bill thru con
gress.
One of the chief and interesting
features of the supplement is five
statement boost for Gallup, publish
ed in English, French, Navajo In
thaif 0ioatipi' ,NlpNdhf
Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, He
brew and Syrian.
With reference to the San Juan
railway bill the Independent says:
"'The fact that bill has been in
troduced in congress asking the gov
eminent to build the Gallup-Durango
railroad, shows the state of the pub
lie mind on this question. Durango is
intclligently active in this matter.
Gallup will be one of the largest
beneficiaries when the road is built,
What's the matter with our Gallup
business men? They cannot afford
to remain indifferent. The Gallup
Durango railroad is an economic and
commercial necessity. 1t will be con-
structed--sooner or later"

WILSON ADMINISTRATION
SHARES RESPONSIBILITY

American bullets killed American
New Mexico, and Villa will defend
himself against the American punt
tive expedition with arms and ammu-
milton bought in America.
The Wilson administration, in the
early part of September, 1914, lifted
the embargo on arms to northern
Mexico, and kept it lifted for 13
months. The administration at this
time was aiding Villa in pressing his
claims against Carranza.
1t is said that when the embargo
on munitions was lifted in 1914, Viii
la began to recruit an army of co.
600. Altho he secured from America
the material with which to equip Co.
900 men he did not succeed in rails
ing an army of more than 10000.
Between September 1914 and Oc-
tober 1915, when Villa was the fav-
orite of the Wilson administration,
his force of 10000 men was widely
scattered and his strength greatly
weakened, but large supplies of guns
and ammunition secured in America,
were hidden and remained intact.
After Carranza began to get the
upper hand in Mexico, the Wilson
administration began to flirt with
him, and in October, 1915, recogniz-
ed him as the leader of Mexico and
his government as the de facto gov
eminent. An embargo was then plac-
ed on arms to Villa, but during the
10 months, when Villa was aided by
the Wilson administration, American
ammunition continually poured into
northern Mexico.
The "watchful waiting" policy OF
the Wilson administration has beer
a disgrace to this nation and Elihu
Root speaks the truth and nothing
but the truth when he says:
"And for the death and outrage, the
suffering and ruin of our own breth-
ern, the hatred and contempt of oui
country, and the dishonor of our name
il that land, the administration al
Washington shares responsibility with
the inhuman brutes with whom il
made common cause" - Boulder

looking another watch and consider
able money that had been carefully
put away by one OF them. The party
VINO had thus been foully robbed, sent
word back to the drivers of their
wagons few miles east and then
started on foot toward Durango. They
wished TO warn all travellers by the
Navajo route to beware of this in
famous den. They could not get the
names of all the robbers, but we pub
lish those they obtained. They are
as follows: Fronchy, Six Toed Jack
Mexican Charlie, The Kid, and man
named Wood.

Some such result might have been
