"The practice of starting drives for

grown to such magnitude as to be-
come q real nuisance to the newspap-

that papers have taken a determined
stand against publishing any part of
the tons upon tons of the sterOtyDcd
matter, othtr than at regular adver-
tisine rates. These papers are adopt
ing the right stand The practice
ought t. he stopped in this country
The people have been bored to the
limit with appeals for all manner Of
causes. and they have responded
most patriotically; but they cannot go
on giving us they have done and
they ought not to be asked to do so.
10 many of these so-called drives
some few reap good rewards and no
doubt some good is done where need

busy preparing Tor the assessment OF
income taxes, under the law passed

repeal, and assessments will be made

w, w. Cox brought into town
last week a load of hogs from his
ranch, weighing about 240 pounds
each. These hogs run wild in the
mountains, are born and raised in
the mountain valleys and receive no
feed or care and, yet, when market
ed are in excellent condition. They
come down into the plains following
rains to feed on the grass and are
then rounded up and roped and sent
to market. There are supposed to
be hundreds Of these hogs in the
near the ranch. Register
ed boars are let loose in the noun
tains from time to time to keep up
the strain and are then lost sight
of perhaps for years.-Las Cruces

THE PUEBLO INDIANS
RICH AND COMPETENT

Valuable and interes sting inforfna
tion concerning the Pueblo Indian
of New Mexico is contained in tn,
memorial passed by the special ses
sion of the Fourth Legislature, ask.
ing the Congress to define the lega
status of these Indians. The docu-
ment is house joint memorial, in.
troduced by Mascarenas, OF Taos, and
Barnes, OF Bernalillo. Seriousness ol
the situation growing out Of the lack
OF legal definition is indicated in the
following paragra aph of the memorial
Whereas, our state and federal
officers are at present in armed con-
flict over matters of law enforce.
ment among the Pueblo Indians, and
by reason thereof, the moral tone OF
said Indians is being rapidly lower
ed by the lack of well-defined juris-
diction; and 49,"
1t will be recalled that in the en-
abling act, which granted statehood
to New Mexico, the Congress re-
served the right to define the juris-
diction which the state should ex-
ercise over these Indians. The men,
orial thus describes some of the more
important COndit1OnS:
Whereas, the Pueblo Indians are
no more handicapped in the matter
of different language and laws than
the great majority of people of
Spanish descent living adjacent to
them, it is our belief that the best
interests of the Pueblo Indian will be
