SENATOR SMITH PUTS
UP CAALLENG E TO

WANTS UNION COUNTY REPUBLI-
CAN OFFICIAL TO GO TO MAT
WITH HIM ON SUBJECT or
STATE LANDS

A. challenge to a joint debate on the
subject Of state lands has been issued
by State Senator G. C. Smith Of U-.s'
ion county, to H. Fl. Errett, the Ite-
publican county school superintendent
there. 1t resulted from criticisms. by
Errett Of Senator Smith at a recent
Old Settlers picnic. Senator Smiths
challenge appears in the last issue Of
the Clayton News, and is as follows:
Mr.. Henry H. Errett,
Clayton. N. M.
Dear Mr.. Errett:
Yesterday it was my privilege to
address the citizens at the Old Set
tiers Picnic, on a subject Of my own
choice. / selected as my theme estate
LandsJr and discussed, in brief, the
manner in which our lands are being
handled and the action of the last
state legislature in regard to my pro-
posed bills which sought to regulate
our present land laws, and which
would, in my opinion, preserve this
vast heritage for the future genera
.tions of New Mexico.
1t was also your special privilege to
address the citizens upon this same
occasion, and you saw fit to set your
self up as a self-constituted defendant
of the present land laws and the ac-
lions Of the last Legislature. You even
went so far as to attack me personal
ly and accuse me of being a fence
rider because / did not declare myself
on the Prohibition question. I was
not advised that this picnic was q
prohibition rally. AS for my position
IN the Prohibition question. the re-
cords Of the third state legislature
are the best evidence. This is the
second time you have made a personal
attack upon me at social gatherings
where | had no opportunity Of a reply.
Therefore, | challenge you to a joint
debate on the subject of our state
lands. This debate to take place pre-
ferably in the community where you
made your u~nwarranted attacks, or in
the town of Clayton. The time and
details connected with this joint de-
bate to be agreed upon at some future
date. Now, Mr.. Errett, I insist upon
you either accepting this challenge or
forever keeping your peace.
Very truly yours,
G. c. SMITH.

iCosttlla, N. NJ, Aug. S.-A few days
ago some men came to the site of the
new Costilla reservoir and said they
wanted work. The company Is in
need of men, pays good wages and
boards the men, giving them plenty
of good food to eat. These individuals
were given work, but they then show
ed, having had a few good meals,
something that they have lacked for
some time previously, that work was
n thing they would not do and be-
gan to try to get the men on the
works to strike; telling them that
they were not receiving half what
they earned; that their meals were
not equal to what they would have in
a Fifth avenue hotel; that they
should have such meals, and if they
would just become !. w w. members
thty would soon have such meals and
no work. Some of the workmen
armed themselves that night and
marched the agitators out Of the
camp and down to Costilla. One of
them remained in a Costilla saloon
long enough to spread more of his
talk, get another man drunk, took $40
from him, borrowed his horse with
out his permission, rode over into
Colorado, turned the horse. loose or
else was bucked off and has not been

WAR OR SURRENDER. is
CHOICE, SAYS kORNlLOFF

London, Aug. 8.-The correspondent
of the "Times" at the headquarters of

General Korniloff on the eve Of his

command. General Korniloff said:
The first stage Of the war is "
The second phase begins today" The

mander %repudiates the possibility of
the Russians surrendering. He holds
that If Russia concludes a dishonor-
able peace to which traitors have been
driving her she will become a German
colony forever. The Germans would
seize her ~foodstuffs, enroll her men
and treat her as a conquered coun-
try. There would be no choice between

In Mora county an entirely new

county exemption board to follow the
numbers as drawn at Washington. The
official lists OF numbers supplied to
the county boards contain several
columns of numbers on each page,
with printed instructions to proceed
through the successive columns on
each page before considering those on
the next page. Apparently, however.
these instructions were overlooked
by the Mora county members, As
they proceed to make up their list for
the first call from numbers in the

one on the first page, and SO on. The
