project Surveys and estimates COW
erir3 d 1000 in work, from the ex-
treme ends of the state, have been
made and are being approved. Part
of bis work is now under way, and
the Temainer will be commenced as
rapidly as practicable.
The third legislature, in regular
session, authorized a levy of one
mill. which will produce $350,O00 for
road work. The legislature at its
extraordinary session, authorized
the several counties to levy one mill
for special road purposes. This lat
ter was in the public defence act, but
was not mandatory. Not all of the
counties have availed themselves of
the authority to make the levy. In
stead of waiting until the taxes ac-
tually are collected, the highway
commission has arranged for the
issue OF certificates of anticipation"
not certificates of Indebtedness
on the part of state and county.
Potential Wealth Enormous :.
The sum of $6436l 900, mentioned
in the opening paragraph as "Potcn-
tial development" represents the ca
pital stock of companies which have
been incorporated in the state during
the past year. There are 1872 new
companies, principally mining COM
panies, making up this imposing to-
tai. OF these companies, 27 are in
for $l,0OO,0OO and over.
One of them is for $3,500O00, two are
for $30O0OOO This smallest COM
oany is incorporated for $4,000.

HOLLOMAN HAS DECIDED
LEGISLATIVE CASES

Three cases. all involving the
constitutionality OF Legislative Acts
were decided by Judge Holloman of
the first district yesterday. All OF
the decisions uphold the legality of
the Acts. All were appealed to the
Supreme Court of the state that they
may be finally and definitely settled
before proceeding unler their provi-
sions. They are:
The mandamus case of A. A. Sc
dillo to compel the State Auditor
to pay him $500 for balance due on
the translation of the Compiled laws
of 1915.
The case of Clancy and Larrazolo
to compel the payment of the funds
appropriated for the trail of the
Colorado-New Mexico and Texas New
Mexico boundary cases.
The case of certain citizens of
Quay, Union, Cofax and Taos coun-
ties to prevent the Secretary of State
from publishing and submitting the

10000 Acres Farmed.

Thirty thousand acres are being
farmed this year in the great Estan-
cia Valley, the vast plateau south of
Santa Fe in Santa Fe and Torrance
counties.
1t is estimated that off this area
100000 pounds of beans will be
harvested this year. Those beans
are figured at eight and ten cents a
pound.
How close that will come to ST.
100000 crop the reader can figure
out for himself.
The Estancia Valley is one of the
permanent, established, settled farm
ing districts of New Mexico, pro-
ducing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of agricultural products
full of prosperous farm
ers. with more coming in steadily.
The crop last year off $4,000 acres
went to $4,000. We are certain to
beat that this year.

pose of paying the taxes in Santa
Fe county, and that said sum has
been squandered and dissipated by
the said Ely as receiver not in pay
ment OF said taxes, but in connec-
ton with the payment of his travel

said.

operation have steadily decreased
during the past few months and the
time of the receiver has been spent

Whereof, the said Pittsburgh
Trust company as trustee for the
bondholders move the court to re-
move the said Ralph C. Ely from his
position as receiver for all and each
OF the foregoing reasons; that all
claims for allowance on the part
of the said Ralph c. Ely for travel
ing expenses be disallowed. and
charged against him as sums OF
money improperly expended, not
within his authority as such receiver

McADOOS STATEMENT
MISLEADING THE PEOPLE

Washington, Aug 2S-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association haa given
out the following statement:
Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo is by no means frank when he
says in a statement in the official
bulletin August Is:
The American people are not ask
ed to give anything to their gov
ernment, but merely to invest a
small percentage of the annual in
lcreasement of wealth in this country
and take in return from their gov
ernment the strongest security on
the face of Gods earth.
Congress is now trying to evise a
revenue bill which will raise more
than $2,0O0,00O next year, or about
$40 per capita, or $l00 from the head
of every family, on an average. Are
not the American people asked to
give that much to their government
next year?
But Mr.. McAdoo is equally lack
ing in frankness when he assumes
that if bonds are sold the people are
not asked to give anything to their
government in that transaction. A
bond is nothing more than an obli-
CATION to pay a debt, If we sell $l5,-
000,000,000 worth of bonds the people
must eventually pay the debt, both
principal and interest.
Mr.. McAdoos statement is not
harmlessly inaccurate and misleading
it is evil in its effects, 1t assure
that money raised by sale Of bonds
is not taken from the people, and
carries the inference that there is,
therefore, no harm in spending that
money freely, lavishly, wastefully.
seems to be proceeding upon that
theory 1t even objects to the ap-
pointment of joint bipartisan com
mittee of congress on war expendi-
lures
Mr.. McAdoo's statement is false
either ignorantly or maliciously
false If left 'undisputed, it is certain
to mislead the people to their injury.
In the prosecution of this war, the
American people are willing to make
all necessary sacrifices of men and
toll and money, but there is nothing
gained by telling them that they are
not asked to give anything to their
government.
The fighting force of the nation is
to be organized on the French plan.
The regimental companies are to be
increased in strength, the divisions
will be reduced in numbers, and gen.
orally speaking our men will be in
the field on the same terms as their
allies. Now if the directing force
of the nation could also be organized
in the same way, a great gain would
be made. The French Cabinet con-
tains men from all parties and spe-
cialized to do the best work possible
for the nation; whereas the Americ-
an Cabinet-well, reader, you finish
the sentence.

TRAINING IN
STATE UNIVERSITY

Albuquerque, N. NJ, August 29.-
When the University of New Mex
leo opens October lst., military train
ing will be added as one of the cour
ses required of both men and women
students, according to an announce
ment made today by President David
r. Boyd. The military department
will be conducted by trained in
structors, as part of the department
OF physical culture conducted by the
University for years past. Young
men will be taught fundamentals of
drill, tactics and use OF arms, with
special attention to camp lift, sani-
tation, etc. Young women will be
given full courses in Red Cross work,
nursing, bandage making and first
aid work. For some years past all
students at the University have been
required to take regular work in
physical culture and careful check
has been kept on the physical con-
'dition of each student, following an
examination made upon entrance.
Excellent results have been obtained.
The only military training has been
that secured by members of the
University rifle club.
Qualified instructors have now
been obtained for the fundamentals
of military training so important to
those being called to the colors, or
to women who wish to volunteer for
Red Cross work. The work will not
conflict in any way with the COM
plete military training courses given
at the New Mexico Military academy
at Roswell, but will be designed
wholly to aid students who in future
may be called into military service.
Many requests for this training have
come from all parts of the state and
the action is only part of the Uni
versity's general policy of greater
practical usefulness to its students
in war than in time of peace.
Just how far the military training
will supplant regular athletic activi-
ties will not be determined until af-
ter the opening on October |. While
many of the University's crack ath-
letes have been called or have vo-
lunteered for active service it is con-
sidered probably that sufficient mate
rial will be found in the new stud
ents to make up the usual teams.
Athletic instructors will be retained
without change and the students, to
some extent will be asked to deter
mine their own athletic activities.

Pecos Valley Apple Crop Will Be
Fairly Good

The apple crop in the Pecos valley
is far from a total failure, as re-
ported earlier in the season. The
Hope district will have at least $50
cars of marketable apples. Artesia
may ship fifty cars. The Roswell
district and south is likely to have
one hundred cars of good apples. J..
B. Cecil has a full crop of perfect
apples, because he gave close atten-
tion to his crop from the bud down
to the present time. Other crops in
this section are coming along we'll.
AT present the bankers. business men
and farmers are agitating the matter
of sowing much winter wheat. There
is much land that may be sown in
wheat and properly irrigated during
the winter without interfering with
the water supply for alfalfa and
other summer crops.-Roswell News.

iROUAULT LANDS NEXT
GAME CONVENTION FOR
N, M,-COOD WORK TED

That the next annual joint con-
vention of the National Association
of Game Commissioners and the Ma
tional Fisheries Society will be held
at Albuquerque. was the good news
contained in a wire from State Game
Warden T. Rouault, Jr., who is now
in St. Paul attending the conven-
ton being held there.
Come to New Mexico if you want
to see teamwork among game pro-
tectors". is the message which the
State Warden took to St. Paul. That
the message was an effective one is
shown by the immediate vote ofsthe
convention to assemble here next
year. Only tweniy-four hours elaps-
ed between the inception of the idea
and its execution. During that
twenty-four hours the new Albuquer-
que Chamber of Commerce, the New
Mexico Game Protective Association,
and the Forest Service kept the
wires hot telling the convention of
the interesting problems the game
can study at first
hand in New Mexico. How to save
antelope and mountain sheep from
extinction; how to educate the aver
age citizen by organizing game pro-
tective associations and making him
take his part in the work of con-
servation, how to establish game re-
fuges and keep down predatory an
imals in cooperation with stock
men,-these and others were the pro-
blems urged for discussion at the
A1huoueroue Convention
The New Mexico G. p. A. has
made a nationwide reputation for
the energy with which it has al
ready attacked these problems, It
is this reputation, together with Mr..
Rouault's excellent work. which land
ed the convention. It will be a big
thing for our State and will open
up opportunities for further enlist
ing their interest, not only in New
Mexico's game and fish, but in all
the resources of our State.

Cheese Factory.

1t probably is not generally known
that there is cheese factory with
a daily capacity of 5000 gallons of
milk in the little town of Dedman,
New Mexico. 1t is said to be the
first industry of its kind in the state
and has opened a new field for the
disposition of milk in that section.
This plant should encourage the
important of dairy cattle among the
farmers of the surrounding country
since its proprietor says that with
the plant running its full capacity,
it will mean the distribution of $780,
90 among the dairy farmers who take
advantage of the opportunity.
