First National Offers to
Relieve Guard Situation
Santa Fe Institution Would Aid to Pay Patriots
Out Of Pocket and Take Chance on Legislative
Appropriation
] the Lax AnancialIy !

An offer to aid the state financially
In meeting the extraordinary expenses
resulting from the mobilization Of the
National Guard at the border has
been made by the First National Bank
of Santa Fe, in a letter from Presi-
dent Levi "A. Hughes to Governor Nc
Donald. The bank is willing to adj
vance any money necessary. and take
its chances Non reimbursement by the
next Legislature.
Governor Mcdonald has replied to
Mr.. Hughes, thanking the bank for
it's generous offer, and indicating that
the state will take advantage OF It.
A conference between the governor
and Mr.. Hughes probably will be held
within the next day or two.
The state militia funds have been
exhausted, and the state is without
money to meet emergency demands,
The offer OF the First National pro-
vides a way of paying the expenses
of the guardsmen and recruits who
went to the border, but who were re-
jected because OF physical disabili-
ties, and whose expenses the Federal
government has refused to allow. How
ever, in the event the state under
takes to meet these demands, 1t will
require some time before arrange
ments can be made for the payment
OF the men.

lie NOIR ARRIVES TO
TAKE CHARGE Of FAIR
As BOARD SECRETARY
ExPERIENcED ORGANIZER, HusT.
LER AND BOOSTER, EXPECTED
TO PUT NEW SUPPLY of PEP
INTO PREPARATIONS FOR AN
NUAL EVENT

albuquerque, July 25.--rhe arrival
of Phil LeNoir in Albuquerque to take
charge as secretary of the state fair
commission was the event OF chief in
terest in connection with the fair last
week. Mr.. LeNoir succeeds the late
r. w. Wiley in that position, and will
take up the aggressive campaign for
a successful fair where Mr.. Wiley left
of.
No better selection for the import
ant post of secretary could have been
made than that of Nh. LeNoir. AS
secretary of the Las Vegas Chamber
of Commerce and of the Cowboys re-
union, which has been held in Las
Vegas, he has been conspicuously
successful, combining executive abili-
ty with an affable personality to a de-
gree rarely found. He is an old friend
and associate of Pres. W. P. Southard,
and that the two will work admirably
in double harness for the success of
the biggest fair New Mexico has ever
had is a ~foregone~ conclusion.
President Southland left Sunday
night for a tour Of the southern and
eastern counties in behalf Of the fair.
Las Cruces was the first stop made
by him. AT this point he was joined
by M. L. Fox, who is assisting Mr..
Southland in the campaign to bring ev-
cry county in New Mexico into line
for an exhibit under the big tent in
Albuquerque in September. From Las
Cruces, they will go to A~lamogordo,
Carrizozo, Tucumcari and Clayton in
the order named. and It is expected
that favorable action will be taken by
the county commissioners and citi-
zens' committees in all of the places
named, and that much support for
the fair will be gained as the result
Of the trip.
The success that has been met by
Mr.. Southland and Mr.. Fox in all of
the counties visited by them has been
especially gratifying and makes it GER
tain that the fair will surpass In mag
anything that New Mexico has
seen in former years.

STATE GETS rs or
SO SCHOOL SECTIONS
ALLEGED COAL LANDS
REGISTER AND RECEIVER DE-
clDEs CONTROVERSY AS TO
TRACTS IN NORTHWEST PART
OF STATE

The state land office is in receipt of
a decision of the register and receiver
Of the local United States land office
bearing upon the question Of the coal
character Of q school sections in the
northwestern part Of the state. These
lands were asserted by the govern
ment to be coal lands, and it was
claimed that they were known to be
such prior to the time the rights of
the state attached to the same under
the terms of the Enabling Act. An
attempt to prove this charge was
made by the agents of the general
land Office connected with the local
field division Office. The holding Of
the land office is to the effect that
where the lands were classified as
coal lands prior to the late Of the
Enabling Act, the state is not entitled
to them, but in cases where there
was not a coal classification, it Is held
that the government has failed to
prove its contention, and the lands
are therefore awarded the state. Out
of a total of 38 school sections thus
involved, the state is awarded rs,

as coal land prior to the date Of
the Enabling Act. The cases were
conducted by R. R. Duncan and L. A.
for the government, and by
A. G. Jaffa and Charles B. Barker, for
the state land Office. There are many
more similar cases Of a like character
in the future, and the decision at this
time in favor Of the state is Of inter-.

H0MESTEADER NOW
MAY FILE ON ADDED
LANDS NOT Adjacent
TO ORIGINAL ENTRY
NEW AMENDMENT TO ENLARGED
HOMESTEAD ACT IN FORCE, RE-
CElvER DELGADo, or SANTA
FE LAND OFFICE, ANNOUNCES;
HOW NEW LAW WORKS

With the receipt or Circular No. 4S6,
a document explaining the provisions
of the Enlarged Homestead act,
amended under act of congress of July
3, 1916. so as to permit entries for
non-contiguous lands, Receiver Fran
cisco Delgado, of the local land office,
today makes one of the most import
ant announcements ever made by the
local office.
The original homestead act provid-
ing for entry on 100 acres of govern
ment land set aside for homestead en-
try, was amended in 1909 by the pass
age Of the enlarged homestead act, so
as to permit of filing on an adjoining
100 acres, making possible the ac-
QUESTION by settlers Of 800 acres Of
free government land. With the great
increase during recent years of the
number of filings upon the govern
ment lands subject to homestead en-
try the benefits that this amendment
intended to create became limited, the
increase in entries automatically de-
~creasing the opportunities to acquire
contiguous lands: which up to this
time was the only serious limitation
placed upon the enry Of the addi-
tional 1850 acres.
Under the act of July 3, 1916, this
restriction is removed and the bene-
fits are extended to lands that are
not contiguous or adjoining. Now, in
stead Of the settler being forced to
file upon land Immediately adjoining
his original entry, he is permitted to
file upon. any parcel Of free govern
ment land regardless of its location.
The provisions of the new act extend
from one state to another, making
possible the acquisition of the original
100 acres in one state, and 40, 80 or
100 acres more in another state, or diff
ferent states, provided the land has
been duly designated. In fact, it per-
of the entry of additional land in
excess Of 100 acres in any Of the
specified.
In commenting upon the liberal pro-
visions Of this new act the officials Of
the local land office state that it is
undoubtedly the most important legis-
lation affecting the rights Of home.

CONCRETE PAVING SAID TO FAIL
Horses Injured, Surface Slippery and
Reflects Heat and Great Noise
Are Alleged i'm Letters

In response to inquiries regarding
the relatives merits of different pave
ments laid in Oregon, Amos Benson
received letters yesterday from eight
men of Hood River county, protest
ing against the use of concerto pave
ment on the Columbia River highway
and copy of letter written by John
Frye, county commissioner of CIatsop
county, to Spokane man, citing his
county's experience with concrete.
1--WE have had some experience
with concrete pavements of the has
sam type say the Hood river men,
three of whom are farmers, and
three in the livery and drayage bust
ness. However, we do not favor
it for use on the Columbia River
highway for the following reasons:
First, it is very injurious to horses
feet; second, 1t is very noisy and
slippery when dry, and even when
wet it is very poor footing for
horse; third, in hot weather the re-
Election of heat is intense; fourth,
the road will be blocked to travel
the entire summer"
The letter is signed by G. A. Glass,
James Stranahan, p. s. Davidson, J.
w. Mcdonald, Hans Lage, w. B.
Stems, J. w. Armstrong and l.. w.
Piegge.
Commissioner Frye says, in part:
"The state built about four miles Of
concrete road in this county last year
and it proved a failure; also we
built a concrete street on one side Of
the county property in Astoria, and
that is failure. We built two miles
of warrenite road last year, and we
consider 1t fine road and a perfect
success, SO you can see from our ex-
perience that we are strong on war
renite. / consider warrenite the best
pavement you can get for country
roads"

chaser was Mr.. Alma Hogan, of Ban
croft, an Independent buyer whose
bid on the shipment was the highest
among six bidding. He shipped them
to the coast and wired back to Mr..
Scott that they topped the market
for the best heavy weights.
Mr.. Scott says that on the first Of
the year he could not have gotten
more than about 5000 for the bunch
of SO hogs comprising his first Car
load. Wheat was about $1.40 per
hundred and he proceeded to fatten
them on it, with the result that he
got $500 for the bunch. He is feel
ing good, and is pushing the second
carload up to the heavy weight point.
He is now feeding corn shipped in
