LAS VEGAS.

Las Vegas, New Mexico. is a typical
southwestern town. It has good hotel
built by railroad company in the mis-
sion style Of architecture, and romantic
ally named after Spanish conquerer. It
has a gringo section, with neat little
wooden and brick houses, well watered
lawns, school houses, churches, and all
the other hallmarks of respectable pros
perify which make Asaerlcan towns so
monotonously alike. It also has an old
town, or Mexico quarter. built of adobe,
dirty, sleepy, peaceful and picturesque,
little changed by half or century of
exposure to gringo civilization. 1t has
an enormous hospital for tubercular pa
tients, and makes lot of money out OF
these sick men from the East.
In all these ways il is a good deal
like several other towns in the same neck
Of sand and sagehrush. But Las Vegas
Is unique among American cities in that
it is built upon and surrounded by lands
which belong to the community as a
whole
Las Vegas was founded by some Mex
leans when New Mexico was a part of
Old Mexico ii 1885, and the Mexican
government granted to the new COM
munity an area of some 100000 acres.
The Mexicans took up what they needed
of this land, and built a village in the
middle of the settlement. 1t remained
a sleepy Mexican town until some time
in the seventies, when it was struck 81
multaneously by several Yankees and
Jews. and by a wave of prosperity.
The Mexieans, who had been squatting
on part of the community grant, showed
that they were capable of learning mod
ern business methods by claiming the
whole 100000 acres After long con-
test the courts confirmed them in their
titles to the lands they actually oceu-
pied. but decided that the rest of the
area belonged to the community. And SO
it is today. This town owns great graz
ing areas, which are open to ali citizens,
and valuable timber lands. Ultimately
Las Vegas will be rich and her people
tax free.

United States lose the trade of countries

Q. What and why is paravane?
A. A paravane is device towed from

There is no use in building schools when
the Indians shun them as works of the
devil.

Their education will come after they
have been provided with the means of
making a living.
The debate in Congress over the Sem
inoles brought out the curious fact that
number of the congressman had visited
these Indians. Some went as members
of mission for that purpose, but others
went merely out of curiosity while spend
ing winter holidays in Florida. All OF
them were deeply shocked at the unclvii-
lied looks of the Indians, and were filled
with a mighty zeal to help them.

and one row is supposed to be worn for

Congressman Emerson. He lives a free

These Indians are fairly healthy.
Mr. Emerson thinks the Seminoles
are on par with the alligators as treaty
makers, but the Seninoles have found
the alligators far more reliable than the
white men.

Questions and Answers

@. Is the balance of trade between
the United States aud other countries
necessary? PG.A.
A. Yes. If the United States sells ex-
tensivelv to a given country and does not
buy from it, that country soon has to pay
a premium on American exchange. Italy,
for instance, has been finding it neces-
sary to draw draft for $3.50 on New
goods. This is because Italy has been
buying heavily from us bat selling lightly

country that is buying from her aud thus
keeping exchange balanced. SO will the

not without good cause, and it appeals to her
with singular force to put broad river not
easily crossed between her and Germany as
strategic defense. That accounts largely for her
desire to control in some way the left bank of
the Rhine. Any Rhensh republic separated
from Germany by the river Rhine would natur-
ally come to be dependent more or less on France
and that is what the French hope for
The new republic has appealed for protection
and support to the allies at Paris, but it is our
guess they will get none there outside of the
French delegates. To force a political govern
ment on the German population against their
wishes would be in violation of the principles
announced at the armistiee governing the
peace deliberations. Of course pretty near every
one who cannot get what they want, Or who have
gotten things they don't want in the peace treaty
are already bowling their heads off to the effect
that the fourteen points laid down by President
Wilson and acceyced by all belligerents as basis

to see how much damage had been
done.
But they found that only a little

they could safely wait several hours,
