MANzANO FOREST
LANDS

The lands to be eliminated
from the Manzano National For
! est and opened to homestead fl
| ing Feb. 11th and settlement
Feb. 18th, it is learned are locat-
ed along the east slope of the
mountains principally. There
are nearly two townships just
north of the Chilli Grant, and
smaller areas south of that
Grant, and north and west of
fatigue Grant, some west Of
Torreon Grant, and another con-
siderable area south and south
west of Manzano Grant.
The land is mostly rough, but
no doubt there is much good
farming land in it, and all is
good grazing land.
Filings may be made twenty
days before the date set, but
early filings are of no advantage,
as they will be considered stimuli
taneous with those made on the
18th. Where there are two or
more simultaneous filings the
claimants will be required to
draw, and the lucky man will
get the land.
A sooner" who attempts to
settle upon the lands prior to
Feb. 18th acquires no rights
whatever, and will be treated as
a trespasser.
1t is thought by the local land
office authorities that all the
lands will be designated as graz
ing lands, but whether under the
320 or 640-acre law is not known.
1t is said that if two persons
file on the same land, one max
ing a 320-acre filing and the 9TH
er a 640-acre filing, and the land
is afterward designated under
the 320-acre act, the 320-acre fl
ing will stick and the 640-acre
filing will be thrown out.

COMMISSIONERS
PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR TERM.
january 7th, 1918.

The Board of County Commits
sioners of Torrance county, New
Mexico, met this day in regular
session with all members pres.
ent, there being present also the
sheriff, the clerk and the inter.
prefer.
The minutes of the two pre-
vious meetings were read and ap-
proved.
Comes now j. L. Stubblefield,
county road superintendent and
calls the attention of the board
to the fact that there are men
from outside the town in the
interest of certain roads within
the county in Twp. 2, Range z
east stating that a bridge is
sorely needed at that certain ar
royo in that community and pro-
posing to the board that the
board authorize the expenditure
of about from $3.50 to 1920 for
material for the construction
thereof, the people in said vi
cinity will contribute toward the
building of said bridge all nee
essary labor and work and the
construction of approaches, the
board being advised in the pre-
misses and finding that the under
taking of building such bridge
throughout including labor and
material will cost the county ap-
proximately 81, 900, and in view
of the fact of the agreement of
the people in said neighborhood
to undertake the building there
of in thorough workmanlike
manner subject to the approval
Of the county highway superin-
tendent, and to furnish a good
and sufficient bond therefor, it
is therefore resolved by the
county commissioners that so
much of the sum of 1920 be ap-
propriated out of the road fund
as will be necessary to purchase
the material for the construction
of said bridge and that the par
ties interested furnish good and
sufficient bond to be approved by
the county highway superintend-
ent for the faithful performance
of the work.
In the matter of the road be-
tween Willard and Mountainair,
in Twp. 4 Range 8 east, the
board after hearing the PROPOSE
tion presented to them by the
county highway superintendent
finds that there are funds
through private donation to the
amount of 5000 and upon the pc
tition therein presented the
board resolved to appropriate so
much of the sum of $3.50 out of
the road fund as will be neces-
sary to work said road subject to
the supervision of the county
highway superintendent.

board his doings therein and
states that he called a meeting
of the people interested in said
road and endeavored to get them
to compromise and agree to the
establishing of said road, and
after having met with them he
finds that it is impossible to get
any definite and satisfactory
agreement, therefore he declined
to survey the said road and
recommends to the board that
the matter be dropped by the
board indefinitely, which the
board so decides TO do and it is
so ordered.
In the matter of a petition
presented by Peter Moe and 9TH
ers for the closing of certain
section lines in Township 5, R.

WANT FOREIGNERS
KEPT FROM FORESTS

e. s. Martin and so other Mrytlo
creek resident have petitioned S. c.
Barthrum, supervisor of the forestry
department of Douglas county, not
to employ any but native-born Amer
lean in the woods and forestry serv-
ice. The petitioners do not even want
foreign-born person, citizen or 9TH
erwise, to be allowed on the forest
lands.
Mr. Barthrum, although allied with
many patriotic enterprises here, critl-
cises the petitioners severely. He says
that the petition is the result of
neighboorhood quarrel between Mar
tin and Fred Assam, a homesteader
of Austrian birth, but an American
citizen, who is now employed in the
shipyards in Portland. Assam has
been employed by the forestry serv-
ice frequently during the past several
seasons. Last summer the woods
were patrolled very strictly to avoid
fires, and men seeking employment
as fire fighters were blamed for some
of the conflagrations.

FIVE CARS IN WRECK

Derailed by broken flange on
freight car wheel, three locomotives
and five cars of lumber lett the
track early Sunday while descending
Rice hill, about l. miles south OF
Drain on the Southern Pacific. The

The wreck occurred while the train
was coasting downhill and one OF
the locomotives turned comp letely
over when it left the track.
OF the three engine crews only one
man was hurt, Fireman Green, on

Trains were held up for IA hours
and an extra wrecker was called from
Portland to help clear away the
