Rumnnians Are Hardening.

The indications are that the Ru-

their ground well, especially new reg

which seemed to Justify the estimate
that the Bumanian army is still far
from the point where it is able to
meet its opponents on the basis of
equal numbers. While the Rumanian
artillery is seemingly still OF doubtful
value, an improvement is notable in
the organized bodies, Remnants Of

GENEROUS 0ATR|BUTION
TO NEW ROAD WORK
FIRM GIVES $1,000 TO BE APP
PILED BETWEEN EsPANoLA
AND ABloUIu; NOTES or
OTHER HIGHWAY WORK

State Engineer James A. French
today received from Bond e Nohl,
well known merchants Of Espanola, a
check for $1,000 to be applied on the
cost Of the new road between Espa-
nola and Abi1uiu, in Rio Arriba ceun-
ty. The amount was offered by the
iEspanola firm some time ago, con
tingent upon the construction of the
Espanola-Abiquiu road, on which
work was recently started by the
state highway commission. In the
same letter Frank Bond, as chairman
of the Rio Arriba county road board,
made a remittance OF $4,000 from
county road funds for the road in
question.
Mr.. French today received word
from Foreman w. ]. Jacobs, who has
been in charge of road construction
between Alden and Cambray, on the
Las Cruces-D eming highway, that the
work would be completed tomorrow.
The distance between the two points
is about ~ miles. Later IN the week
Mr.. Jacobs will move his force to the
Silver City-Lordsburg road and work
between Silver City and Tyrone.
Mr.. French reports that two wood
en- bridges between the Tesuque river
crossing and the Dockweiler ranch,
on the Santa Fe-Taos road, have been
completed. This road is now being
widened and reconstructed between
the river crossing and the Paul Doran
ranch. One of the bridges is AZ feet
long, and the other 81 feet.

Governor and
Friend Mistaken
for HighwGymen

Governor Mcdonald and At
torney George Hunker, of Las
Vegas, were taken for hold-up
men by an autoist on the road
between Watrous and Las Vegas
one night last week, according to
the Las Vegas Optic. The Optic
story follows:
while returning from Wat
rous Thursday night, Governor
William G. Mcdonald and Attor-
ney George Hunker broke a rear
axle Of the Hunker a in which
they were riding. The accident
occurred three miles this side of
Onava, and was entirely mex
pected by the governor and Mr..
Hunker. They said that the first
thing they knew, they felt a
bump. and then saw one of the
wheels rolling down the road
ahead Of them. There was moth
ing to do but to walk back to
Onava, which they started to do.
But luck was with them, and they
soon met a car. However, the
driver of the car got the idea he
was being held up, and before
stopping he took an eight-carat
diamond off his finger and drop
ped it into the bottom of the car.
When explanations were made,
the walkers were asked to ride
to Las Vegas, which they did.
The Hunker car, at the latest re-
port, is still on the road where
the axle was broken. G. s. Street
and his mother, Mrs. M. g. Reil-
ly, of Temple, Tex, were the
autoists who picked up the gen
tlemen. Mr.. Hunker now is glad
der than ever that the Texas tour
lists are coming to Las Vegas"

IRRIGATION
DISPUTE GOES UP TO
INTERIOR SECRETARY
GENERAL LAND OFFICE DENIES
RIGHT or WAY FOR DITCH TO.
RELIEVE FARMERS AT TAOS

Although the state Of New Mexico
has granted a water right of rs resi-
dents of Taos, sufficient to irrigate
1890 acres of land. the water still is
not available, it is alleged, for the
reason that the general land office
at Washington has denied the appl:-
cation for a right of way for a 9-foot
ditch through a portion OF four sec
lions of public domain.
The citizens are associated together
under the maine of the Llano Irriga-
ton company. Their right is to ap-
propriate from the waters of Cabresto
creek, which is a tributary of Red
river. 1t was proposed to take the
water from the Cabresto at a point
about IS miles above where the Red
river empties into the Rio Grande.
This company's application to APP
propriate the water vas rejected by
the state engineers office. the recla-
nation service opposing the grant. I'm
der an appeal to the state board of
water commissioners, a reversal of the
engineers ruling was secured. Appli-
cation then was made to carry the wa
ter, by means of a ditch, across the
public domain! The general land Of
flee at Washington has just denied
the right Of way for the ditch, and an
appeal now will be made to the secre-
tary of the interior. In the event of
adverse ruling by First Assistant
Secretary Jones, who no doubt will
pass on the case, the matter will be
carried into the courts.
Catron and Catron represent the
Llano Irrigation company.

Ervien Apparently Safe
Barring a political compromise by
which Secundino Romero would be
given the place, Robert p. Ervien
seems safely assured of denomination

ments along that line are not expect

treasurer, and w. M. Atkinson, n of
the Chaves county commissioners, are
still mentioned prominently as Demo
cratic candidates for land commits
sioner.
For some time some of the Demo
cratic leaders have been discussing
the ~advisability of nominating Boni-
facio Montoya, Progressive school SUI
p~erintendent of Sandoval county, for
corporation commissioner. w. w.
Nichols, a railroad man Of Clovis, who
served as Curry county representative
in the first state legislature, is said to
be a candidate for that nomination.
Malaquias Martinez. of Taos, expects
to ride into the Republican nomina-
tion on the Bursum wave.
Isidoro Armijo, Of Dona Ana county,
chief clerk of the last senate and at
present in the state land office, is the
only active candidate for the Republi-
can nomination as secretary of state.
Adolph P. Hill, of Santa Fe, assistant
secretary of state, is actively a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination.
The denomination of Secretary of
State Antonio Lucero is not regarded
as improbable in some Democratic
quarters.
If the Grant county delegation
comes to the Democratic state conven-
tion here with the same determination
to make State Senator William B, Wal
ton the candidate of the party for con-
gress as was manifested by that dele
cation at the first state convention in
Albuquerque last May, It will be hard
for the Democrats to satisfy Grant
county with anything less. The pos
sibility Of making Walton state chair
man, in the event he is not nominated
for congress, has been discussed re-
Gently.
If Bursum and Hubbell win, Capt.
H. Gillenwater, of Albuquerque,
likely will be the Republican state
chairman. Arrangements for the big
gest campaign fund in the history of
New Mexico, it is said, already have
been made.
Republican County Convention
The Republican county convention
for the selection of the Santa Fe dele
cation to the state convention here,
probably will be held August 81, two
days before the opening of the state
convention. Senator Catron is ex-
pected to demand that the delegation
support Secundino Romero for gov

TVS support of him for senator, and
to see that such a delegation is Sc
There is little Romero senti-
ment in this county, and it will be
only by the cracking of the Catron
whip that Romero will get Santa Fe.
Bursum has spent some time here
the last six weeks, and his
work has been with the object of gain
ing a part of the Santa Fe county
delegation. Left to itself, the dele
probably would be divided prin-
between Bursum and Sar-

TAKES 10 NJ INUTE
FLIGHT IN AEROPLANE
HERRING FAVoRA5LY IMPRESS
sED WITH WORK OF MARTIN
AVIATION SCHOOL AT Los AN
GELES

The Martin Aviation school, at Los
Angeles is doing a good work, in the
opinion of Adjutant General H. T..
Herring. who visited the institution
and made an inspection of machines
and methods of teaching, while he was
on a short vacation which he spent
in southern California. This school
has been designated by the Aero
Club of America as a training school
for the officers of the National Guard.
Second Lieutenant Dean Smith, of
the New Mexico National Guard, has
been a student in the school for a
month. His progress is marked, his
INSTRUCTORS have declared. and they
express the belief that he will be
thoroughly qualified to receive a lie
ence, after he has had another month
of training. General Herring said he
hoped to be able to detail another
officer at an early date to begin TAX
ing the aviation course in this school.
Il went on a short fight, during
one of my visits to the school," said
General Herring. II went up with an
instructor, in one of the Martin ma
chimes, which I believe is called a
Martin tractor. We were in the air
about is minutes, and the instructor
said the greatest elevation we reached
was about 1000 feet. We did a little
planeing, but no fancy stunts. I GER
tainly was favorably impressed with
the school generally and the efficiency
that is being impaired to the student
officers"
