Ga~llup-Shiprock Road

Pennington, N. Nj, June 6.-The
bill appropriations $4,000 for the Gal
lup-Shiprock Cortez road has become
a law, largely through the efforts OF
the Durango Exchange and Congress,
man Taylor Of Colorado. It is well
known that this amount will not make
the road as It should be, and two
other appropriations of similar
amount. are expected to follow, one
next year and one the year following.
The question Of most importance
just now is how this first $l5,0 600 will
be expended. says the Times-Hustler
II it is started from some point, say
Corte. Gallup or Shiprock. and is used
as far as it will go in the constrpc-
ton of a standard government high
way, it will build 25 or maybe double
that number Of miles of road and will
not facilitate traffic between these
towns to any %appreciabIe degree. on
the other hand, If it is used as the
state highway money has been used
in this county under the supervision
Of Engineer Farwell, 1t can make the
road passable and safe for auto travel

Greatest Horse Famine
Known to Fame Now
Exists In Southwest

Deming, N. M, June 6.-"We are
having the greatest famine in horses
that was ever known" said C. w,
Bowers, of Ruby & Bowers, well
known horse dealers Of Davis, Cal,
While in this city.
4 met he said, six government
buyers in Phoenix last week, and nc
limit has been placed on the number
Of animals which they are allowed to
purchase. It may not be generally
known. but the United States is now
buying two-yesr-old colts Is hands
high, and is paying 500 each for
them. The authorities are taking no
chances of running short, SO will do
their own developing and condition
ing themselves. You know that the
horse business was terribly neglected
because people thought that owing to
the great use and demand for auto
mobiles and the ~perfecting of the gas
engine. that there would never be
any use for horses again, and as a
result we are now having the biggest
horse famine ever recorded, and we
expect to see it continue for the next
five years at least. The price of stall
lions alone has ADVANCED practically
$500. European nations have stand
ing orders in this country calling for
as many as 250,0O0 horses and mules

curred when a four-cylinder REQ car,
driven BY Harry S. Hall, a prominent

yon at least forty feet deep. The car,
which was occupied by the driver,
Mrs. Luna, Mrs. Garcia and two small

lust passed the second bridge going
toward Magdalena. when Mr.. Hall, ia
adjusting a can Of oil, lost control Of
the car, and It, with its six occupants,
was hurled forty feet into the canyon

free and continued down the preci-
pice, where It finally lodged against a
telephone pole. Mrs, Luna sustained
a broken leg and Mr.. Hail was badly
cut and bruised about the face and

steps now: If they will interview the
farmers and fruit growers: If they
will make a general outline Of what
is wanted and let the people know
about it; if they viii lay the fpunda-

sNEW MEXICO COuRSE All VARSITY
TO TEACH STUDENT "a PRACTICAL
KNOWLEDGE OF HIS OWN STATE

Albuquerque, N. M, June 5.-What
probably win be termed the Course
in New Mexico is to be established
in the State University with the In
stallatIon of The new school 81 bust
ness, to be introduced with the open
ing Of the next college year on August
22nd. It is the determination or the
university government that in future
no graduate Of the New Mexico State
University shall 90 ont from the col
lege without a thorough, practical
knowledge Of the home state. of its
resources, industries and %opportpni-
ties. This knowledge ISL ITO be unto
the minute and Of the most complete
ly ntilitarian character. President
David n. Boyd has urged constantly
since he came to the university, that
next to training Of the individual stu
dent, the first function Of the institp-
ton is TO train young men and young
women for best and most practical
service to the state and to their home
communities. On the other hand, he
holds that the most valuable phase OF
life and work at the university, for
those who expect to live and work
in New Mexico, is knowledge OF the
state gained there, and knowledge Of
and acquaintance with New Mexico
people.
On a recent visit to Lovington, in
eastern Eddy county, President Boyd
met the father Of a university stu
dent who told him that since return
ing from the university his son had
received letters from fellow students
in Ia different counties Of New Mex
leo. Il consider that acquaintance
worth more than the academic work,
this father told the university presis
dent. DR.. Boyd has ~recounted the IN
cident as Illustrating his point that
