sion Monday completed his tabulation
Of the 5000 automobiles owned in
New Mexico The tabulation is not
only by counties and towns. but also
by makes and by values The increase
in the assessed valuation since last
year IS a million dollars. the total
exceeding s10. 0e0. 000- The average
value per car is more than $500. al
though the ords in the state exceed
in number all other makes combined.
Albuquerque has the highest priced
cars on the average. In Santa Fe. too,
the higher priced cars are IN the lead
In a fair estimate il is safe to say
that the money expended this year
in New Mexico on the upkeep Of au-
tomobiles for pleasure is greater than
all Of the taxes collected for all pur-
poses from the people. and would pay
all state, county. school municipal and
district expenses. and that the actual
value Of automobiles and accessories
is more than that Of all the schools,

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was virtu-
ally assured. William Loeb, ir.. presi-

wrote young woman who contributed
sum for herself and mother. "He
took such delight in playing Santa
Claus: Never has there been man
like him, and l am sending the en-
closed as remembrance of the good
he showed us ALL"
Although it was rainy, several score
OF persons visited the Colonels grave
to-day. among them a Japanese, who
had with him a small silver box. He
knelt at the grave few minutes. and
then asked the guard if he could take
some Of the dirt from the top Of the
grave TO Japan. When permission was
received he, placed a handful in the
box. He said that the people of Japan
revered the former President and that
he had been commissioned to bring it
back so that it could be placed in ono
Of the historical museums. He de-
clined to give his name.
