have been defeated The amendment

If. " defeated, it means that the
people are not in favor of amending
the state constitution. The other
amendments had plenty OF opposi-

of them If they should have been
carried it would indeed have been
surprising. The vote is very light
due very largely TO unfavorable
weather conditions. The returns will

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
INCREASES OFFICE SPACE

The state highway department has
outgrown its quarters. 1T became
necessary to provide additional space
for the drafting section. As more
road projects have been undertaken,
the drafting force has increased until
the present quarters became over
crowded
The offices OF the department are
being rearranged today. The Senate
chamber has been requisitioned for
the drafting force and is being taken
into use today. The state highway
engineer, the assistant highway en-
gineer, and the cost engineer have
been cooped up in one small office
Each will have a separate office
under the new arrangement The
water right division of the state en-
gineer's office has also been quite
cramped and will now be given more
space.
Though the office force OF the
highway department has been great
ly increased the last six months. the
drafting force is still short Leslie
A. Gillett. the highway engineer said
this morning that he can use at least
ten more people in the drafting room

STATE LAND OFFICE
OPPOSES FEDERAL CONTESTS

The U. S. Land Office three year,
ago protested a number of school
sections granted the state because
before granted to the state. Testi-
mony was taken in the summer OF
1910. The land commissioner has
decided that twelve sections in Nc
kinley and Sandoval counties did not
pass to the state as they were known
to be of mineral character before
June 10, 1910
1t appears that if any school Sec
tions were known to be of mineral
character before granted to the state,
title will not pass to the state which
is allowed, however, to select other
land in their place. II the school
sections had not been classified as
mineral bearing before the grant title
viii pass though found later 10 be II
mineral character.
The state is dissatisfied with the
decision Of the land commissioner
and has appealed to the Secretary
for review. The state land com
missioner through Chas. B. Barker
has submitted an exhaustive brief
and argument in this particular case.
1t IS rather the matter Of principle
to be tested rather than the value OF
these sections themselves which will
be tested. There are around twenty
five similar cases pending at this
time. In all there are likely to be
more than a thousand cases of this
kind in New Mexico
The New Mexico land department
holds that the records OF the L. {.
land office and the geological survey
do not show such school sections to
have been classified as mineral lands
prior 10 the grant to the state on
