and a tunnel will be made that will
be 5000 feet long in order to drain a

water prevents further operation. A

already been built.

This convention will be the most
important YET held by the association

due and serious consideration.
The executive committee are ar

comments and criticisms that have re-.
Gently been SO freely published and
circulated concerning the National

largely attended, not only to show the
interest we feel in our organization,
but to enable us to exchange views
ind obtain the best Judgment Is to
what is wise to do to meet and resent
the unwarranted attacks that have
been made.
Each state should be represented
by a complete delegation and an effort

expect the public to take an inter

take an interest in ourselves and that
interest will be best manifested by a
attendance at the convention.
"Some officers who would be towers
of strength in our deliberations can
ll.afford the expense of attending the
convention, but the National guard
needs their advice and the benefit OF
heir experience and enthusiasm, and
whom they would so well repre-

Without imposing upon the Individuals

Ipany's saw mills at Alamogordo have

the logs piled up on top of her, It
seems that for some unknown reason
the engine became u-nmanagable and

RULING IN KEEPERS

COURT IMPORTANT
THOUSANDS SIMILAR PENDING
LAND CASES MAY BE GOVERNED
BY PRECEDENT, OFFICIALS SAY

The brief announcement in the AS
sQciated Press a few days ago thai
the u. s. supreme court had handed
down a decision in a Gallup, N. M
land case, has been read with great
interest by lawyers and land officials
The reason is because it is be
lieved the opinion, which was writtel
by Mr.. Justice McKenna, may serve
as a precedent nsabout 1000 similar
cases awaiting decision in New
Mexico.
A copy Of the opinion has not yet
been received here BY the state lan1
office or the U. s. land office, but II
is awaited with Impotence.
BY the opinion Of MT. McKenna the
state of New Mexico loses title to 40
acres of coal lands in~Section 16, val
ued at $4,000 or more. The land in
1volved Is one OF the school sections
granted to the state OF New Mexico
by the act of June 81, 1898, and the
enabling act. A portion Of the town
of Gallup Is situated on this land.
hence its value.
In 1910 George %. Keepers, Jr, APP
piled to purchase 120 acres Of land on
this Section l6 as coal lands under
the u. S. coal land law The state Of
New Mexico and others protested
against the allowance Of this coal APP
plication of Keepers on the ground
that the land was not coal in char
acter and not valuable for coal land
tut was valuable solely as a town
site. After a hearing before the local
land office a decision was rendered
on the opinion Of Cludius J. Neis,
legal adviser, giving Keepers the
land. Upon appeal to the commits
sioner OF the general land office one
40-acre tract was awarded the state
and two 40-acre tracts were given TO
Keepers. The case being appealed to
the secretary Of the interior, that de-
partment by its decision awarded 50
acres Of the land to the state and
40 acres to Keepers Later a bill was
filed in the u. s. supreme court by the
state Of New Mexico seeking to de-
feat Keepers entry for the remaining
40 acres and To confirm the title
therein To the state OF New Mexico,
This bill has been dismissed by the
supreme court thus allowing the
Keepers entry to remain intact as an
application to purchase this 40 acres
under the coal land laws. H'he point
on which the bill was dismissed by
the supreme court is not vet known

Oregon Theatcr TO Repeat The Birth
of Nation January 21-22; Popular

A great deal of film comedy is
horse-play, but David W. Griffith in
THE Birth of a Nation" proves that
quiet refined comedy is a big laugh
maker and pleases better than the
old style crude methods.
One of the best laughs in THE
Birth OF a Nation" is the lovesick SEN
try in the hospital scene gazing at FL.
sic Stoneman. This particular bit Is
of the "sure fire" order. for never
does an audience miss the rapt devo-
tion of the sentinel and the naughty
expression of the young lady rebuk-
ing him with million -mles-away
look.
Paul Leblanc Is the name of the
young actor who has made the unex.
Rected hit in the part He is New
Orleans Creole by birth and played
comedy roles with Nine. Bernhardt
before going out to Los Angeles where
Mr.. Griffith discovered him. The cos
tuning of the young soldier is won
derfully accurate to the period OF
1864. Some of the recent civil war
portraits in the magazines and news
papers are almost doublets of this
sentry figure, showing what care
Griffith has used in reproducing the
civil war type.
Miss Lillian Gish wears her cos
tunes of civil war and reconstruc-
tion times that are heirlooms in her
family. Through Griffith's skill all
the actors in the production are made
to appear as if TO the manner born
and not awkwardly moving about in
habilments to which they are unac-
customed.

supercilious, especially the lead dogs;
while other sedate ones offer with
great dignity to shake their paw with
the chance passer-by.
All Of them, however, have one trait
in common and that is wild jealousy
and an uncomfortable rage when any
one Of their number happens to get
loose, If a dog manages to slip his
collar and starts trotting triumphantly
down the narrow passageway in the
center Of the kennel towards the door
he is at once greeted on both sides
with a wild chorus of yelps that
makes the welkin ring and that never
fails to tell the keeper, although the
latter may be a mile away, that dog
has gotten loose,
This pandemonium is only equalled
when the keeper, having caught the
culprit, leads him shamefacedly back
between the two rows of dogs whose
vociferous joy at the spectacle must
occasionally alarm the Germans only
a, mile or two away.
