NO RELIEF FOR THE
RIO CRANDE MILLERS

The matter of relief for the Rio
Grande valley millers is not making
much progress. Senator A. A. Jones
writes the corporation commission
that Edward Chambers, director OF
traffic of the u. s. Railroad admin
istration, advises him that the ad-
ministration is not ready to grant
reduced rates locally from the east
ern part of New Mexico. He thinks
that this is not practicable as other
sections similarly situated would fol.
low with demands for reduced rates
Mr.. Chambers considers it really a
problem for the U. S. Grain corpora
tion as the difficulty of the Rio Gran
de millers is due to the grain cor
poration's action in fixing wheat
prices.
Senator Jones also has had the
matter up with the u. S. Grain Cor
poration which advises him that the
condition is traffic problem The
Grain Corporation, however, agrees
10 look further into the matter and
has therefore referred it to the vice.
president in the Kansas City district
to which New Mexico belongs. The
Grain Corporation admits that if
wheat out of eastern New Mexico
could be diverted into the Rio Gran
de valley it would help to relieve
the grain situation at Galveston, the
primary market for New Mexico
wheat.

FOR AMERICAN LEGION

Barney Hopkins and Red Howell
two of the best known cowmen IN
the west are going to stage a big
Wild West show, when Bryan Mud
gett Post, American legion, puts on
its Victory celebration, the middle
of October at Carlsbad.
Hopkins and Howell, who are ex-
perienced carnival men, have import
ed a lot of Chihuahua cattle and
goats for cowmen to work on. They
have arranged for over a thousand
dollars worth of prizes for the three
days roping. which begins on Octo-
Der IS. They are going to divide
up this for goat ropers, for men who
are good at branding calves. and for
ropers who can toss their lines over
fleet Chihauhau steer. Throwing
cattle, of course, is unlawful. so
ropers now use break loose cord,
but the skill in tossing the lariat
still remains.
Hopkins and Howell are also GO
ing to reward the man who can ride
the meanest horse without pulling
leather, and for the same adven-
turous guy who can straddle a COW
and not be thrown off Other at
fractions will also be arranged in
the wild west carnival.

WAR MOTOR EQUIPMENT
AGAIN AVAILABLE E

Motor propelled 'ehicles and equip
ment WI again be distributed to the
highway departments of the states,
Leslie A. Gillett, state highway en-
gineer, has been advised by the Sec
retary of Agriculture. The Judge ad-
vocate general OF the war department
ruled some time ago that the proNI-
sion for distributing surplus war DO
partment motor supplies to the states
was repealed by the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill approved in July. The
matter was taken to the department
of Justice for ruling and the at
torney general holds that the pro-
vision OF the post office bill was not
repealed and that the distribution is
legal
The distribution will now be re-
sumed The fourth allotment was
cancelled and a new allotment is be-
ing prepared. Mechanical engineer,
examine all motor equipment before
allotted. The equipment that will
require IS per cent of the original
cost in repairs is rejected as un-
serviceable. The auctions of army
motor equipment will in no way in
terfere with the allotment of equip
ment suitable for use in highway
construction.

REDUCED RATES FOR

Educational Associa ton in Albuquer-
que November % to 20, the u. S.
Railroad Administration advises the
corporation commits sion. Tickets will
be on sale November l9 to Is and
be good for returning till the 10Th.
The reduced rate is not open to the
public generally on the certificate
plan, as in the past when re-
turn ticket would be sold at the re-
duced rate on presentation of a Ger
tificate of attendance. The reduced
rate this year is for members of the
association only and dependent
members of their families. Each mem
Der must obtain beforehand a GER
tificate of membership which is
presented to the agent who will sell

one who intends to attend the CON
vention obtain beforehand an iden-
tification certificate. The form for
such certificate has been sent to the
officers of the association.

be validated by the ticket agent at
Albuquerque between November p

HARRIS OF GEORGIA
TURNS WILSON CRITIC

Washington, Oct. S-Senator w.
Harris, of Georgia, who has received
numerous political favors at the
hands of President Wilson, and who
was the Presidents choice for Sena-
tor from that State, is, perhaps un-
consciously, the author of the most
severe criticism that has recently
been made against the Presidents
management OF government business
He has introduced a resolution which
recites that some ten different de
partments or bureaus or boards are
engaged with matters having to do
directly or indirectly with the foreign
commerce of the United States but
oftentimes working independently OF
each other and each without a know
ledge OF what any of the others may
be doing, in view of which he asks
that each OF the departments or bu-
reaus submit TO the Senate a detailed
statement covering the. character,
amount and estimated cost OF such
work as is now being carried on re-
lative to the subject stated. Senator
Harris evidently overlooked the fact
that Congress passed a law which
gave the President power to transfer
duties from one department or bureau
to another. reassign the personnel
and make practically any other
change he saw fit for the purpose
of avoiding Implications of work and
wasteful expense. Senator Harris's
resolution is, in effect, a formal de-
claration that the President has failed
to institute the economies which
Congress authorized him to intro
duce.

EARLY DECISION URGED
IN TELEPHONE CASE

Representatives OF the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany called on the state corporation
commission Wednesday to discuss
the rate case now before the COM
mission. Dean ID. Clark, district
commercial superintendent; ]. b.
Reynolds, district manager: and
Stephen B. Davis, Jr., of Las Vegas
and K. X. Wright of Santa Fe, at
torneys, were present for the COM
pany.
The local officers OF the company
are anxious to have the case d.
posed OF at an early day and ad-
vance the argument that the budget
for next years improvements is be-
ing prepared and will be ready for
approval by November lst Ii ap-
pears that they think that the bud
get viii not be approved unless the
rate case has been decided The
officers indicate that they are re-
commencing the expenditure for inn
provement for the coming year in
New Mexico of S300m0O0. In the
budget is new plant for Clovis
and Tucumcari and another circuit
from Albuquerque to FL Paso.
The officers of the telephone COM
pany can see no reason for an ex-
tended delay. They rather urge that
the commission decide the case in
the favor OF the company. as they
hold there is no complaint against
the present rates.
In support of this contention the
Officers filed with the commission
letters from business men, who hold
mat the increased rates are justified.
Thirty letters were filed from Albu-
querque, twenty-five letters from
Silver City, ten from Springer, five
from Las Vegas. six from Rator
fifteen from Las Cruces, twenty-fi, e
from Tucumcarl twenty-five from
Carrizozo, six from Alamogordo. .ud
nineteen from Deming. These let
ters are all written on the request OF
the telephone company.
The following is a fair sample
In reply to your question how we
regard your present phone rates, we
consider them equitable and Just
and that you are justified to the adj
vance in view OF the increased cost
of labor and material"
Some OF the writers say that they
have heard no complaints. Others
go so far as to say the rates are
not high enough i'm comparison with
present prices in other lines. Still
Others say that they have taken the
increase as a matter of course in view
of the fact that prices generally are
high.
The commission has also been re-
ceiying number of similar letters
through mails recently. Ii is report
ed that a similar system of propa-
ganda has been used by the tele-
phone company to influence the de-
cision of the Arizona commission.
The work of preparing the tele-
phone case is making progress under
the direction of Harry s. Bowman,
assistant attorney general. The data /
and reports filed by the telephone
company on the request of the COM
mission are voluminous and it will
require much time to study and an
alyse them. II will therefore be out
of question to have the case pro-
ceed to a decision this month

HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT IN
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO

Construction is progressing very
well on the two Federal aid road
projects IN ChaVes county, SAID
Leslie A. Gillett, state highway en-
gineer. after spending the past week
IN the eastern part iof the state
looking after road matters.
Mr.. Gillett found that the work
on project No. across the Mesca
lero sands on the Roswell -Tatum-
Lovington road in the eastern part
of Chaves County. is well along The
heaviest sub grade work was finish
ed 1t is necessary to excavate the
sand first. A heavy plating of Ca
liche" is placed and this is surfaced
with crushed rock. The rock crush
ing plant is set up ready for work.
This proJeoH is being constructed on
force account under the supervision
of ]. A. Klassner, for many years
with the Santa Fe Railway.
Project No. II from Roswell to
Comanche Springs is also moving
forward quite expedtiously, accord
ing to MIR. Gillett Two bridges have
been finished and the excavation Tor
the third is under way The grading
Is coming along very we'll The
construction camp has just been
moved to the Roswell end of the
road. These projects are important
sections OF the state highway which
starts at the Texas line east OF
Tatum and runs through Roswell,
Alamogordo, Las Cruces, Deming,
Lordsburg to the Arizona state line.
Mr.. Gillett also spent some time
in the second district and with en-
gineer w. ID Jones went over next
years Federal road aid program in
Roosevelt, Curry and De Baca coun-
ties, 1t is planned to get state high
way No. 10 from the Texas line al
Texico to the Rio Grande IN good
shape. II will be necessary to do
much work on the east end to about
ten miles west of Fl Sumner where
this highway strikes firm formation,
1t is the purpose to apply the Jones
method of letting the wind clear out
the sand during the winter and
spring. This has been found effcc-
tive and economical in dealing with
sand problems in highway construc-
tion. New Federal aid projects will
be located m this section
With the work in progress, the
projects decided upon, and the pro-
posed projects. Mr. Gillett expects
to have this highway in good CON
dition across the central part OF the
1'ate. This highway connects at
Belen with the Canine Real and
gives a western outlet by way OF
Los Lunas and Gallup. Mr. Gillett
is wen pleased with the progress in
the main highways through

INCREASE IN FUEL
OIL RATES POSTPONED

The state corporation commission
was advised by wire this week that
the San Francisco District freight
traffic Committee had indefinitely
postponed the fuel oil rate case. 1t
was proposed to increase the freight
rates on fuel oil from Texas and
Oklahoma to points into southwestern
New Mexico and southern Arizona.
which would give California oils a
better market in these districts. The
IS" Mine at Lordsburg among 9th
ers IS using Texas oil with a para
fine base in its Diesel engine. and
protested that the California oil.
which has an asphalt base, could not
be used. The commission filed a
protest with the committee which
resulted in the Indefinite postpon-
ment of the case.

STATE HIGHWAY COMIS-
SION HOLDS MEETING


The state highway commission at
its quarterly meeting Wednesday
transacted much business. The mat
ter of financing road construction in
cooperation with the Federal gov
ernment was gone into thoroughly.
No new project can be undertaken N
until it IS known that necessary
funds will be available when it its
ready for construction. Though a
project may be initiated now, il will
take a long time before it can be
advanced to the construction point.
In other words the money need not
be on hand when the new project is
undertaken, but it rs necessary that
it is known that money is provided
for use when construction is ready
to begin.
1t requires considerable time to
survey for project statement, get
the statement approved in Washing
ton, to make the survey for plans
and specifications and obtain ap-
proyal. But no money can be spent
on the preliminaries until it is de-
termined that there are funds for
the construction of the project The
state highway engineer is anxious to
get all the possible projects under
way and the preliminaries disposed
of that construction may go on as
soon as possible.
In this connection the question
arose whether highway debentures
could be legally issued to anticipate
the three mill levy for the third
year. There seems to be some doubt
m the matter and the commission de
cided to have the question settled in
a test case to be brought in court
The commission ordered that the
preparation of plans, specifications,
and estimates for the construction
of Federal aid project { be rush

asked to make the change to which
1t agreed because the new route
serves that community better.
The commission ordered that re

is on the east side of the Rio Gran

southern part OF the state.
A slight change was ordered in
the route OF Federal aid project No.

pass directly through New Laguna

much routine business at this meet
ing. Those in attendance were chair

Model Dairy
Several weeks ago Capt. Thomas
Franklin started his big dairy a,
Hill, about nine miles north OF Las
Cruces Capt. Franklin is an old hand
at the business, having run the Fl
Paso Dairy for several years, before
deciding to strike out for himself
He has built model barns and
sheds for his cattle, of which he has
eighty head of Holsteins, and from
which herd he is shipping about ls0
gallons OF milk daily to Fl Paso.
The grain for each COW is weigh
ed out according TO the condition OF
the COW and the amount OF milk Civ
en-, and the weights are chalked up
over each stall that the feeder may
measure out the proper amount. The
milk from each COW is weighed i'm
mediately milking is finished. and all
milk is cooled to a uniform tenn
perature. A truck takes the milk
to the depot twire each day for
shipment to Fl Paso.
