FIVE BROTHERS MEET FOR
FIRST TINE.

The Sioux City Journal of last Sun
day contained the following write uE
embellished with a good half tone
picture of the five brothers:
Five brothers met last week for the
first time in their lives. This reunion
took place in the home of Policeman
E. z. Leedom, lll2 Thirteenth street
q. Washington Leedom, of Wood, s
D., was returning from Pierre, s. D,
where he attended the state republ
can eonyention, and stopped off for q
visit with his brother. B. 8. Leedom
of Gordon, Nebraska dropped in
The three brothers then conceived the
idea-of having a reunion. They called
j. NJ. Leedom county surveyor OF Ds
kota county, and Fred F. Leedom, .
Dakota county farmer, to the city. Il
was the first time the five brother,
had ever been together.

NEW AUTO LICENSE LAW.

The new law relating to automobiles
and the manner of securing licenses
goes into effect January The law
provides the license fee shall be 81 for
automobiles, instead of S. as in the
past, $25 for dealers, for which they
can have three sets of plates; from $6
to Sis for trucks, depending upon
capacity, and So for motorcycles, re
gardless of kind or power.
The matter of securing pls tes is
different. In the past they were Sc
cured by applying to the county treas
urer, who then seut the request to the
secretary of state, who in turn mailed
the plate. Now, the application il
made to the county treasurer as be
70 re, but the plate is secured there
also, when application is made.
This applies only to autos, as trucks
motorcycles and dealers still get theil
plates from the secretar yof state, but
application is made for them to the
county treasurer as has always beer
the case.

LOAVES, FISHES ANDTURKEYS

When the multitude were hungry
they were given loaves and fishes, and
their hunger was appeased.i
In this community there may be
some family with but meagre ingred
tents for the Christmas dinner. A
wave Of the hand today will not con
vert that meage' ness into plenty, nor
will it create turkey from a crust of
bread. Those who live in plenty
should see that there are zone who
are in want on that day.
If we nave family upon whom the
hand of misfortune has fallen, we
should see that their larder is we'll
filled, and that the Christmas turkey
is not absent on our Day o. Days.

HIDES MAY SLUMP
MARKET INDICATES

A big slump in the price of hides
is predicted by hide dealers. The
reduction is expected to be from 40
to SO per cent of the present high
prices. The causes assigned are the
anticipated sale of many thousands
of pounds by the government and a
change in the export market.
According to a dealer who has
made study of the subject the
estimated supply to be obtained from
all parts of the country indicates
80 hides per month for every thous-
and inhabitants. Each hide weighs
nearly so pounds, and Is square feet
of leather can be obtained from each.
The prices now paid for green salt
ed hides is from IS to So cents per
pound.
Thus the average price ranges
from $40 to $40 for each hide ship
ped into San Antonio. Normal
prices are IL to % cents per pound
for green salted, and 80 to IS cents
for dry hides. Thus the reduction
of from 40 to 50 per cent is ex-
pected.

More than 1900 commercial and
industrial organizations are over
whelmingly in favor of private own
ei ship of railroads as shown by A

alton as soon as remedial legisla-
tion can be enacted.
Adherence to the period of fed
erai control as now fixed, unless and
until impossibility of remedial legis-
lation in this period clearly appears.
Permission for consolidation in the
public interest, with prior approval
by government authority. in a limit
ed number of strong competing sys-
TENS.
Requirement that railroad compa-
nies engaging in interstate com
merce become federal corporations,
with rights of taxation and police

an adequate return to a fair value |
of the property as determined BY
public authority.
A federal transportation board to
promote development of a national .
system of rail, water and highway
transportation and articulation of all
transportation facilities.
In reporting the vote. the COM
mittee declares that the chamber
called into conference at Washing
ton more than two score prominent
men associated with important in
terests affected by transportation
needs, 80 that each important in
terest should have a voice in deter

CORPORATION COMMISSION
ATTACKS RATE ON WOOL

The Western Freight Traffic Com
mlttee OF the U. S. Railroad Admi-
nistration is investigating the rates
on wool, mohair, dry hides, and pelts
and notified the New Mexico Cor
poration Commission that a hearing
would be held today. The notice
was received too late to permit an,
of the commissioners to attend.
The commission in a letter calls
attention to the grossly discrimina-
tory rates now in effect out of New
Mexico to the eastern markets on
wool, mohair, hides and pelts. The
rate on wool and mohair in the
grease from Pacific coast termin ais
m compressed bales is $l25 a hun
dred pounds to Atlantic coast points.
On the secured product the rate is
$l62H per hundred pounds in com.
pressed bales.
From New Mexico points on the
Santa Fe Railway to Boston the rate
on wool and mohair in the grease
ranges from sl6s to 500 per hun.
dred pounds in sacks and from ST a
to Sl9O per hundred in compress Sc 4
bales. The rate to other Atlanti.
markets is about the same. Secured
wool and mohair in sacks or bales
takes rate from Las Vegas, Albu.
querque, and Roswell of $36lX pei
hundred to Boston, $3.5A to New
York, and $3.50 to Baltimore aud
Norfolk.
The rate on wool and mohair in
the grease over the Southern Pacific
TO Boston ranges from S2l5 to s. "a |
per hundred and in bales from S1.S6r
to SIl9 per hundred The rae over
the Lenver and Rio Grande is about
ihe same.
The rate from Pacific coast ter
lninals to Atlantic coast poic.s on
h'des and relts is 5l621l per hun
dreG pounds and from Lorasbure /,
500. The rate from Gallup to Kan
'as City Sl.92I4, to Chicago $25ll. /
to New York and Boston $3.50.
The commission says: "It.wil be |
observed that gross FOURTH section
violations exist on all these commo-
iities from New Mexico to eastern
territories. The most glaring dis
crepancy is on secured wool. the
ate from Pacific Coast terminals

De BACA

Valley farmers claim that the pres

grown in this Valley, averaging near
thirty-five per cent heavier than
usual. Row crops in the Valley are
also excellent, and with a bumper
fruit crop they are indeed lucky.
Most OF De Baca county has had
excellent rains, which just about
insures the dry farm crop and makes

STATE TREASURER
OFFERS ROAD DEBENTURES

The state treasurer Charles U.
Strong is asking for bids on SlS,-
OO.0O OF highway debentures to be
opened on August 2Sth. These deb
entures are issued against the spe-
cial tax levy in Bernalillo, Sandoval,

que-Farmington road. The first
issue anticipates the tax collection
this year based on the percentage
of taxes collected last year in these

worked nearly all the way OF ls0
miles.
