Denmark won the big International
Tug-of-War staged at the Auditorium for
the last seven days.
Captain Emil Tolbad's crew carried off
the tournament by victory over Pete
Loch's German team last night in one
or the hardest pulls OF the tourney.
For the full limit of twenty minutes
the Danes and Germans tugged and tus-
sled When the clock licked off the final
second II was decided by the referee and
judges that the Danes had won by two
and one-half inches.
Hundreds OF dollars changed hands on
the result OF the pull last night. IL be-
came apparent three or four days agO
that Denmark and Germany had the two
best teams and would inevitably meet In
the finals. As a result followers OF both
teams placed large sums OF real coin of
the realm on the result.
Much OF the money was placed without
odds. Pete Loeb and Nj Christensen had
$500 on the result this way. Others bet the
Danes would pull the Germans In ten
minutes. Others bet that the Danes would
pull the Germans TO the flag. a distance
OF five feet. Wagers at these latter two
odds were won by the Germans.
Danes Mig FavOrites.
The Danes went into the match last
night big favorites. Until last night no
/ team had stayed even seven minutes
with Tolbads men Il was figured that the
Germans would go almost as quickly.
/ But Loch's men upset the dope. At the
/ flash Of the gun on the start the Danes
put their weight ON the rope and OBJ
tanned an advantage Of about four inches
Time and again they attempted 70 add
to this advantage, but failed. The Ger
mans did not attempt to pull at the start
Loeb was content TO rest easily and
merely hold his own with the Danes.
At eighteen minutes Loeb gave the sig
nal for his men to put forth mighty
effort. And they responded nobly. They
gathered up an inch OF the lost rope. A
minute later the Germans went 20 WORK
again and gathered in half an inch, leav'
ing the Danes an advantage OF two and
a half inches as the pull ended.

Resources Survey

A. NJ. Hove. of Carlsbad, the wei known
Peeos valley empiresbuilder, sends us the
following which seems particularly adapted
to the editorial column:
The present secretary Of the department
OF the interior is an optimist and is always
looking for something cheerful. For some
months he has been making a survey Of the
latursaF resources Of the United States, IN
case of a blockade he would like to know
how we could manage to exist. He finds
with the exception Of one or two minor min
erals that the United States has every min.
aral needed FOR every industry. We pro
duee at present 6s per cent OF the petrole.
i'm. so per cent Cf the copper, 40 per centpf
the coal and iron, and 50 per cent Of lead
and zinc. There are great forests and vast
agricultural resources. He feels pretty safe
in case Of blockade.
The secretary does not specify the loca'
ton of all this natural wealth. But when
it comes to natural resources New Mexico
ranks up in trent. The trouble with New
Mexico Is that the resources are not OK
plored and the knowledge OF them aYaila-
bic. Coal IS found Of every kind In many
parts, SO they say. But outside Of a few
districts who knows anything definitely
7here IS copper, gold, silver. etc. Yet few
in the state itself knows anything about it.
New Mexico is also reputed to have fine
forests Of virgin pine aud other timber. But
who can give any positive inIormationg IN
fsrt even the new Biographies with special
great Pan-AmerIcan University for which
New Mexico has.
The list Of New Mexico resources is d
long one and in case Of a blockade Of the
United States would be useful not only to
keep the wolf from the door, but also to
fnfnlsl copper, zinc, and other minerals SO
important ia modern warfare.
While the subject Is up for consideration
New Mexico could well profit BY taking an
inventory a its mineral. forest, and agricul-
trial resources and tell the neighbors about
them. we need more people to develop
what nature has placed in New Mexico.

A Dry Season


Mr.. William n. Andrews who 1t Is said
has rendered ineatimahle services to tbs
sovereign state Of Pennsylvania, announces
his candidacy for the Republican senatorial
nomination Of New Mexico IN the Albuuuer
que morning paper. The announcement il
large enough to paper a four room house
neatly and tastefuIly. Ii consists chiefly 81
a list Of names. as long as the moral law,
that people Of Albuquerque n some other
points have kindly signed, doubtless on
tirely spontaneously and Of their own Volt
ton. to q petition urging the necessity Of
making Mr.. Andrews United States senator
from New Mexico.
Deeply affected by this tribute, as soon
as Mr.. Andrews recovered from the shock
and the surprise, he felt 1t no more than
right that these names should be published.
Iii an explanation ais to the causes OF this
gratifying action Mr.. Andrews mentions
among other things that he secured over
5000 pensions for old soldiers Of the Civil
War. This was done, we understand, BY
the simple and highly ingenious expedient,
first discovered by Mr.. Andrews, Of turning
il the names Of applicants to the proper aa-
thorities.
The Morning Journal editorially specu-
aates as to whether Andrews, at the age Of
seyentysfouT, has discovered the fountain Of
perpetual youth sought by the late Ponce
de Leon.
We should be more Inclined to compare
the gentleman with the late lamented and
unusually somnolent RipeVan Wrinkle. And
it Isl needless to say that the world has am
bIed along since the days Of the late Mat
thew S. Quay of Pennsylvania, and the POI
ltical and banking achievements Of his
lieutenants.
What We started out to- say. however, was
that this is an arid country, subject to spells
df unusual aridity, and the fountain Of per
petual youth is always likely to be found
