STEERS SHIPPED OUT
or STATE FAIL TO
GET ON TAX LIST
HOW YEARLlNGS ELuDE LAW
BROUGHT OUT AT HEARING OF
BELL RANCH BEFORE TAX CON-
MISSION

That many yearlings and long-year-
ling steers shipped from New Mexico
escape taxation was brought out at the
bearing of the appeal Of the Red River
Valley company, owner of the big Bell
ranch, before the state tax commission
this morning. The company returned
1883 head of cattle in San Miguel
county, and were raised $500 head by
the county commissioners, a total valu-
alton of $2Og, 200. In considering this
appeal this morning it was disclosed
that a record of shipments had been
responsible for the raise and that
the cattle shipped consisted for the
most part of steers that we're not a
year old when the first assessment was
made, and that had been shipped to
yearold when the first assessment was
This condition is possible because
March and April are the months of
calf crops on the range, and assess
ments are made as of January / each
year.
The company was represented at the
hearing by C. M. O'Donnell, general
manager, and Attorney Stephen B. Da-
Wis, Jr., of Las Vegas.

land assessments in San Miguel coun-
.ty, the county authorities having as
sessed 400, 900 acres at $3.50 an acre,
on the ground that the land was SINH
lar to dry farming land in that county,
and that $3.50 was the price fixed for
that class of land. A total Of $4,000
acres Of the company's land was as
sessed at So an acre. The appeals
were taken under consideration by the
commission.
The special meeting of the tax COM
mission, to hear all pending appeals
and to examine 1917 tax rolls, opened
this morning. Several outside appeals
are being heard this a%fternoon, and it
is probable the Santa Fe county APP
peals will not be taken up before to-
morning, although they may
be reached late today.

Dry Farm Crops
In Taos County Are
Complete Failure
(sy Special correspondent.''

10Y SPCSial
Costilla, N. M, Aug. 27.-The last
snow, to be seen from the road here,
upon the Latir peaks, near Virsylvia,
disappeared yesterday but some snow
remains on the vanerdo peak. How
ever the water in the Costilla, Latir
and Red rivers, is now very low and
as there has not been but one good
rain since May, dry farming crops are
a failure. Especio Trujillo planted
80 acres Of beans and will get his
seed back. Many others report the
bean crop-which is usually a sure
crop here-a failure.
Much complaint has been heard
about lost horses. Not a few horses
have "strayed" off and the owners
are never able to find them until a
S. or $40 reward is offered and Their
the horses will promptly appear.
What begins to look strange is the
fact that these lost animals almost al.
way are found by the same persons.

HEAVY CREDITOR
PROPERTY PERMITTED TO DE-
PREcIATE AND ASSETS DISSI-
PATED, ALLEGED BY PLAINTIFF;
RECEIVER OF ANOTHER COAL
COMPANY WITH CLAIM FOR
$231,877.4f

Asking a Judgment of $23f,877.41
against the Yankee Fuel company and
also that a receiver be appointed for
it's assets, Henry A. Kiker, receiver Of
the New Mexico Colorado Coal and
Mining company, filed suit in the U. s,
district court today alleging that the
Yankee Fuel connpany's property is
being permitted to d~epreoiate.
Mr.. Kiker, the plaintiff, alleges that
defendant is indebted to the New Mex
ico-C Colorado Coal and Mining company
in the sum of $"231,877.41 for moneys
advanced to the defendant by the coal
company at instance and request of
defendant; it is further alleged that
defendant has wholly neglected and
refused to pay the said sum or any
part thereof. The plaintiff was appoint
led receiver Of the mining company in
August of last year.
The defendant, it is alleged, is the
owner Of large tracts of land in Colfax
county, most of which are underlaid
with coal and was, until about 1914,
engaged in mining and selling coal.
The complaint continues: "That, about
that date (1914) the said defendant
was compelled to cease business for
lack of funds to carry on the same;
that the company had been grossly
mismanaged, the assets dissipated and
that since about the beginning Of the
year 1914, up to and including the pres
ent time, the said defendant has been
and is insolvent and unable to carry
on its business. That the said defend
ant is unable to resume its business
under its present management with
safety to the public and advantage to
the stockholders; that its property is
being permitted to ~depreciate and is
largely incumbered; that the defend
ant is unable to pay interest on its
indebtedness, and that unless a re-
ceiver be appointed Of the defendants
property the same will continue to de-
preciate and this plaintiff will be- IN
able to collect its said claim against
the said defendant.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays judgment
against the defendant in the sum of
$231,877.41; that a receiver be APP
pointed for all of the assets of the
said defendant; that said receiver be
ordered to take charge of the same
and administer the same under the or
ders of this court for the benefit of
the plaintiff and other creditors of the
defendant, and for such other and fur
Their relief as may to the court seem
proper"
A, c. Voorhees,, of Ration, is attorney
for plaintiff. Messrs. Morrow & Al

PANkEYs INCREASE
DUE 10 PURCHASE

The increase in the valuation Of
Senator b. r.. Pankey's Santa Fe
county property to $545,000I making
him the heaviest taxpayer in the
county, was due to increases in his
livestock and land holdings, and not
to any raises decreed by the board OF
county commissioners. Since his
1916 assessment Senator Pankey has
purchased the Gaia del Rio grant OF
over 10000 acres, and has added 1000
head of cattle to his herds. Sena-
tor Pankey is strongly in favor of the
efforts being made to get all property
on the rolls at just valuations. He is
now the Santa Fe county member of
the advisory council of the Taxpay-
ers' association.

BABY REGIMENT
FALLS in GAME
WITH PORTLAND
Young ZWeifeI Holds 32nd
Team to One Hit in Five
Innings

That old saying that the last shall
be first may work out this year. The
young man with the Beavers. who fin
ished last in the Portland City Direct
DRY last year. may be first in the d.
rectory OF Portland pitchers before
many years. II he can continue TO
show what he displayed during his
brief sojourn on the mound yesterday
afternoon at Athletic park, when he
held the Baby Regiment team TO one
lonely bingle and no runs in five in
nings.
Portland looked like a regular base
ball team yesterday afternoon, and
both Iweifel, who started the game.
and Lyle Bigbee, who finished, had
the infants swinging at their slants.
Holcomb was the only player to solve
the delivery for hit, which went for
two bases. Portland finished with six
runs, while the Schofield contingent
did not cross the rubber during the
afternoon.
The lunch
Judge McCredie had the right bunch
yesterday afternoon, when Bigbee en-
tered the box, and predicted that he
would hold the soldiers runless. As a
predicter the Judge is a simon-pure,
dyed-in-thewool, somebody stop, A.
No. l kind. He doped it right. and
Bigbee used his head and few kinks
and allowed the Baby Regiment play
ers nary hit
Zweifel. who started the game. was
as cool as a chilled sundae in Green
land. He was never in danger, and in
addition to pitching some mighty GOOD
ball looked good in fielding his posi-
ton. The youngster who pitched in
the Portland City League last year
used speed, cross-fire. underhand
delivery and a change Of pace that
made him look pretty good out on the
hilltop.
sfsbee Shows something
Bigbee looks right at this time, and
IL he stars against the Chinese or 25th
Infantry there may be some swinging
on the part OF the local swatters. Dur
ing his stay on the mound he famed
six batters, and not one ball went to
the outfield.
Mashaw did not pitch a bad game,
and had he been given better support
might have held the visitors down to
close score. Several hits which
were counted against him would have
been outs with some other player go
ing after the ball Stratton at first
went after everything, but was muss-
ed up on two errors, and Boyle missed
a couple that went along to center
field.
Williams was the batting hero Of
the day. as he annexed single and
a double. Fisher also grabbed off two
bingles, and Wolfer hit.1000 for the
afternoon. With the exception of two
boots the Portland players showed
great game, and are going to be a
hard club to beat from now on.

One of the best matches Of the la
dies tournament will be staged this
afternoon at the Polo Club courts
when Mrs. Coulter and Miss Ward OF
Honolulu meet Mrs. F. A. Belin and
Miss Janet Storrs OF Scranton. Pa
This match should prove to be an In.
teresting one from all standpoints, as
the local players will be pitted against
two stars who have played together
a number Of times, and should be
strong contenders. Mrs. Coulter won
the championship in the singles, and
many believe that she will win with
Miss Ward in the doubles, but the
Eastern pair look formidable and 1t
would not be at all surprising if the
play went to five sets.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Belin and
Miss Storrs defeated Miss Kathryn
Williams and Miss Pauline Schaefer in
straight sets, 6-3. 6-2. and basing the
prospects on their play of yesterday
should make hard fight against the
former champions in the doubles. This
match will conclude the play in the
ladies' championship.
