WOMAN INJURED
 AUTO HTS R|G
 DURING M|X-UP

In attempting to drive a pony, har- messed to a light buggy, across North Central avenue at Roosevelt street aoout eight o'clock last evening. Mrs. Margaret V. Field, widow, living at 715 South Central avenue, became confused at the approach of auto mobiles from both directions and halted almost in front of machine driven by Amos l.. Egly.
 Because of the narrowness of Roosevelt street at the point where it intersects and as a result his left fender came in contact with the left rear wheel of the buggy. There was crash, the wheel was demolished and Mrs. Field was thrown to the pavement.
 Still clinging to the reins, the wom- and was dragged across the avenue and into West Roosevelt street The pony, frightened at the crash, broke away from the woman and ran five blocks west on Roosevelt street be- fore he was finally halted by colliding with the palm trees bordering that street.
 That Mrs. Field was not killed or at least seriously injured is probably due to the fact that Egly was driving slowly and had his machine well un- der control As it is, she sustained some painful bruises about the body, but Dr. Harry A. Hughes, who was called, said that she was suffering from shock and fright and that de- spite her advanced age she will soon be fully recovered.
 Traffic Heavy on Street
 The accident occurred at time when there was heavy traffic on Gen. | tral avenue. Machines were proceed ing north and south in veritable l procession. As Egly, who was accom- panied by his brother and his l brothers wife approached Roosevelt street it seemed to him that the road way was clear. Suddenly the little pony and buggy of Mrs Field ap- 1 peared almost in front of him. He swerved to the right and tried to yaoid collision, but was unable to do so. Had he been going at an ex- cessive rate of speed the buggy would have been demolished and the auto mobile more seriously damaged. As 1t was there was but slight dent in the fender and one lamp was dam- 1 aged.

 There will be no waste at the mill.

Fast becoming one of the busiest in stitutions in Phoenix and at present the most interesting of all is the saw mill of the Arizona Lumber and Wood company recently erected and which plant covers almost the entire two blocks on Madison street between Sev- ent and Ninth streets. The mill is owned by A. G. smith and Son, who also are the proprietors of the A. G. Smith Grocery company and of the Arizona Apartments at Second and Portland streets, the largest in the state Both the elder and younger members of the firm are among the best known and most substantial busi- ness men of Phoenix.

If all the trenches constructed since the opening of the great war were placed end to end, So as to form single trench. they would more than stretch around the globe at the equator.
 At first these trenches were con- structed by the soldiers, but With the demand for more and more trenches together with the growing scarcity of manual labor, the British and French soon found it necessary to employ ma
 chinery for this important work. It was the French who first saw the possibil
 ities in employing American trench ex- cavators for the purpose. and invited a leading manufacturer of such equip ment to study their problem with a view to developing a military type of trench digger. Some time later the American trench diggers arrived in France and were set to work digging

CAN'T Jump HIS A

About the neatest scheme for in
surfing the fruits Of scientific research
was sprung by our good friend, Prof.
Algernon Wendell Edwards, noted
Boston ~archeoloRist, who is excavat-
ing among the prehistoric ruins south
west Of Lordsburg. He was in town
this week and it seems that just late
~ he has struck a rich ledge carrying
high values in skeletons Of the late la
mented residents Of the district. The
professor is much elated over such a
rich strike of the remains of the for
mer well known citizens Of the re-
gion, but he is fearful that some other
snvious research worker will invade
his property and get a share of the
skeletons. So he has hit on the
scheme of putting up location notices
% keep any other ambitious archeo-
logist from jumping his claim. Prof.
Edwards says he is getting out a good
output of ore which runs high in bones
of the prehistoric common people, and
he is blamed if he is going to have
any wild cat scintist come in to run
him off his bonan Va. He thinks
BY stalking off the former cemetery as
a mining claim he has hit on a bright
and original idea.

GRANT EMPLOYERS
AIDED BY BUREAU.

In the future Grant county farmers
and ranchers will be aided in securing
employees by the state labor bureau,
which has been established and is
doing good work. The plan of it's
work is simple but effective. The
bureau is headed by Herman R. Grille,
the state farm labor specialist with
his office at State College, New Mexi-
CO.. The plan provides for a state or
%ganization. a representative for each
county and a local representative for
each community in every county.
The local representatives gather
and list the data Of the needs of the
farmers in their community and also
the available labor in their cOmmu-
nifty. They make local adjustments
based upon this information and re-
port the deficit or the surplus of la
Dor to the county agent. He with the
reports from all the communities Of
his county at hand adjusts the needs
of his community and reports the de-
felt or surplus to the Office of the
state farm labor specialist who adj
justs the needs of the county and the
state.
1t is the duty of every farmer in
the state to notify his community man
at the earliest possible moment how
much help he will need and when he
will need it. 1t is likewise the duty
of those willing to do farm work as
well as those who are now doing that
work to notify their community men.
This bureau will do the state a great
amount of good if the people it wants
to help will help it aid them by giving
their entire support and cooperation.

NEW YORK RECOGNIZES
UNIVERSITY DEGREES.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, July 1G.-
President David r. Boyd Of the Uni
versity Of New Mexico, today made
public a letter from Hon. Augustus
s. Downing, commissioner for Higher
Education Of the state of New York,
announcing that the University Of the
State Of New York, has formally reg
istered the degrees of the state uni
versity as meeting the requirements
of the court of appeals of that insti-
tuition. This is regarded as the most
important recognition the University
of New Mexico has ever received.
II means that the degrees Of the state
university are now given full recog-
milton and credit in professional edu-
cation in New York state, and that a
person holding any one of the degrees
conferred by the New Mexico insti-
tuition is entitled to a remission Of one
year in the study of law. In other
words a student in the University Of
New Mexico who wishes to proceed
into professional training, may enter
the second year in the professional
schools Of New York state. This rec
ognition by New York state means,
in effect, that degrees Of the New
Mexico University will be accepted at
the same value and with the same
credit in all of the professional schools
of the country. The advance in stan
dards achieved by the University Of
New Mexico within the past four
years is attracting favorable attention
of educational authorities all over the
the United States.

THE Boys op -

The carrying out Of the seleetive
draft law seems to have been a moi
able success. With scarcely 4 hitch
the ten million Young men regiEtare1
CT June 5 have been assigned TO their
places in the order they will be later
c1lled to the service Of their country.
Within a short time the men first
selected viii be summoned before ex-
emption boards TO determine their OBJ
legation for service. while the remain
der will have had definitely fixed the
approximate time at which they will
he called TO service. Tho selcctive
draft law conceived on a scientific
principle bids fair to furnish the
finest ARM the United States has
ever seen. While the men selected
will contribute to the defense os the
nation by personal service, the others
not called at the present should re-
member that their part in keeping
up the industries OF the country is no
less important. There is enough and
more for all to do. The young men of
LOrdsburg and Grant county who will
shortly begin their service deserve The
honor and support Of every patriotic
citizen. This is the bit that those not
called can do TO lessen the sacrifice of
these chosen who will 1901 shoulder
their rifles for the defence of the ma
ton.

MARKETING BEANS
EASY THIS SEASON

Grant county farmers who raise
larger crops of beans this season will
have no trouble in marketing the
crop according to information COM
ing from dealers and brokers in the
Eastern states. The fact that New
Mexico was fourth in bean produc-
ton in the United States last sea-
son attracted the attention of bean
dealers all over the country who have
been asking for samples of the New
Mexico Pinto beans. Writing to the
State Publicity Bureau here recently
Peabody & Co, merchandise brokers
Of Boston, make the following inter
esting statement;
During the last two or three years
there have been extensive importations
Of Manchurian Beans and each year
there have been quite large carry
overs Of these beans on account Of
the poor quality of some Of them.
We believe that a great deal Of this
Importation can be cut out just as
soon ss buyers all over this country
understand the quality Of Pinto beans
and as soon as buyers become aware
Of the superiority Of Pinto beans, we
believe large quantities OF them can
be sold in the East"

SMALL TOWN BASEBALL.

Baseball in some of the small cities
and towns has been cOmmercialized
TO such an extent that the public has
lost interest.
instead of home boys" forming the
teams and playing the game with riv-
al towns, semi-pTOfessiOnal players
are hired-really professionalism
the public is expected to go crazy
about the home team composed OF
paid players. They probably dO-if
the professional players beat every
thing in sight, but as that usually
can not be done, the public DOT tires
Of following the team. They dom
stick to the PLAYERS through thick and
thin. as is the case with home boys.
In the case Of a home made team,
a few defeats in a row do not thwar
future interest. The town is behind
the team and will root for the home
crowd to the finish. bitter or sweet.
Many of our small cities having
hired "semi-DrOfessiOnar players
haven't as much interest in the nat
iOnal game as towns without suci
players, and in addition, somebody
has a deficit to pay annually for few

the commercial character Of the un

The semi-prOfessiOnal system was

al leagues which are successful com.
mercial undertakings merely because
in the large cities there are alwayi
a sufficient number Of persons who
wish TO be amused with baseball

er of the pastime is an advantAg
where amusement is the only aim

Nearly every small town has one
ore more sets Of ball players that witt

into good ball players. They may
not be able TO beat the "semi-prOfes-
