ANOTHER DETERMINED
EFFORT TO GET MAIL
ROUTE FOR P0lOAQUE
STATE HIGHWAY ENGINEERS Of
FIcE ACTIVELY INTERESTS IT.
SELF IN FIGHT

Active resumption of the fight to
have the so-called Pojoaque rural mail
route established was indicated at the
office of the state highway commits
sion Wednesday morning. The state
ment was made that it had been de-
termined to create a new petition and
that it had been placed in the hands
Of County Commissioner Jose Mon
toya of San ndefonso, who will can
vass actively for signatures.
This is the second time the service
has been agitated, but the demand for
the improvement of the Pojoaque road
has led the state highway engineers
office 10 assume active interest. They
realize that If a rural mail service is
established, it will enable them to
cur in all probability, federal aid
for the road project.
Definite figures are lacking but En-
gineer Charles stated that a former
nvas showed that there were more
than enough families to meet the re-
quirements of the postoffice depart
ment as to initial service volume on
proposed new routes.
Its general outline is to run from
Santa Fe to Pojoaque, thence through
Nambe to Tesuque and back to Santa
Fe by way of Bishops ranch.

CAMP FUNSTON HAS REAL BAPTISM
OF FIRE FOR THE ARMY RECRUITS

is picked up by the ambulance wagon.
The brigade goes into camp at the mr.
ing range and remains several days
usually three or four. In this period
no time is lost. The soldiers are up
at 5 a. m, and the target practice be-
gins as soon as the sun rises suffl-
Gently to make the view good. The
main target field is a mile east OF
camp anr has 100, 200 and 300 yard
ranges the long range field is a mile
west of camp and has ranges of 500
and 500 yards. The men are broken
in on the short ranges, usually spend
ing three of their four days practice
the first time out on the shorter
ranges. The rifles are heavy and have
a solid recoil. The rookie who does
not learn at once to hold his gun close
to his shoulder is likely to have a lame
shoulder on the second day, out. The
men are rotated so that each takes
his turn at firing, marking up scores
and setting targets. 1t is the latter
duty which gives him his first trench
experience.
The targets are four feet square and
the target handlers are stationed in
trenches eight feet deep. The tar
gets are operated on a slide, so the
men beneath it at no time are ex-
posed. After each mans turn at shoot
ing, the target is drawn down, the dis
tances from the bullseye measured
and the result is signalled back to
the firing line. > The rapid firing prae-
tice is fast work. 1t requires ten shots
within sixty seconds. The target
manipulators raise the targets leave
it there for one minute, then withdraw
it. The bullets hit the target with a
report almost as loud as that of a re-
%volver. This is the rockies first ac-
quaintance with being at the target
end of firing and naturally his mind
is occupied with the idea that "going
over the top is no child's play.

Camp Funston, Kan, Aug. TIT is
the aim of military trainers TO make
the training conditions as much IKE
"the real thing as possible. Therefore
it is not long until the recruit gets
his baptism of fire'-and insure
enough trenches, too. or course
the recruit is in no real danger But
they are real bullets he hears. They
sing their peculiar little song as they
pass over the trenches above his head.
Occasionally one bores through he
top portion of the e~mbankment and
drops into the trench The natural
impulse of the rookie is to pick It up
and exclaim "Look, this n came
through the breast works." Possibly
he does not get that far along in his
exclamation when he makes a new dis
.covery. The little steel capped bullet
is quite hottie rookie has further
use for northumberland he drops il
quickly shaking hid singed fingers.
The rockies "baktism Of fire" is OBJ
tanned in the targt range. The men
i'm the trenches image the targets
and at intervals change places with
the men in the firing line. Usually
there are about 200 targets in use at
the same time, So the sound Of the
rifle firing is quite realistic.
The target range is beyond Fort
Riley-from Funston-ana the boys
usually march to the target range, a
brigade at a time approximately six
teen companies.) On this eight-milc
hike they pass through Fort Riley
where the regular army men put the
new army soldiers on their metal by
their scrutiny and an occasional quip
shouted from a barracks porch. On
this hike the men carry heavy packs
and their eight-pound rifles, and on a
hot day it is quite severe test of the
lads staying powers. Not i~nfrequent-
ly a recruit falls out Of the ranks ex-
hausted or overcome by the heat and

ACRES OF LAND
In zUNI MOUNTAINS
AND TIMBER RIGHTS
SOLD TO ONE FIRM
SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS EVENTUALLY TO BE
REALIZED FOR STATE SCHOOLS
AS TIMBER Is TO BE CLEARED
OFF.

Having sold $4,000 acres of state
land in Mckinley and Valencia coun-
ties for SO the acre, plus the price Oh
millions of feet Of timber, to the Nc
Kinley Land & Lumber company OF
Ohio, State Land Commissioner 0
ert P. Ervien and party are expected
to return to the capital some time late
tonight or Thursday. The sale which
was made at Los Lunas is perhaps the
largest in its Importance, and size,
due to the disposal of both land and
timber, that has been made since the
grant was established by federal act
for school maintenance in this state
Three big tracts comprised the offer
ing for sale and they were composed
of alternate sections with those al
ready owned by the Mckinley people,
who are successors to the old Amer1-
can Lumber company.
The disposal Of this land means a
large revenue for the Institutions OF
the school system of the state as in
addition to the price paid for the land,
the cutting contract on the timber
means a large sum at the outset and
lalso provides for the readjustment OF
the price every three years to conform
to the marketable value Of the lum-
Der al each triennial period.
One section, on which John t.
Haight a soldier now in the regular
army, had announced his intention Of
bidding, was withheld by Commission
er Ervien, who stated that under the
circumstances he felt that Haight's
rights should be regarded.
The sale practically cleans up the
timber land holdings of the state in
the Zuni mountain region.
The buyers have announced that
lthey propose to get out the timber at
once and this is interpreted to mean
an instant revival in the lumber mill
business In the section.
