Dear Sir:
If it was not so sad to see one sis

the abortive attempts of Christiansted
to beiittIe the Importance of our harbor

The truth is that including this last

to prevent even the smallest boat to land

GUARDS CAMP
IN 1922 LIKELY
:. To Be IN VEGAS
Adjutant General Brown
Tells Commercial Club of
Meadow City That Town
May Be Chosen. III

Las Vegas, N. NJ, May 26.-In
reply TO the invitation of the Com
mercial. club to bring the New
Mexico national guard here for the
1921 encampment, Adjutant Gem
Ieral Henry Rolf Brown has writ
ten that circumstances prevent
such action this year, but in 1922
the guard undoubtedly will be
brought to Las Vegas for the an
nual practice maneuVers.
The Commercial club had called
the generals attention to the state
rifle range and encampment
ground located on the Hot Springs
boulevard just north of the city
limits and had suggested that no
better place could be found. con-
sidering equipment location, eli
mate, and desire on the part of the
people to help make the encamp-
ment a success
General Browns reply says that
undoubtedly there is no better en-
campment place in the state, but
because the guard has not yet been
recruited to its full complement. it
was better this year to send the
citizen soldiers to Fort Bliss to be
trained with the regular army.
General Brown has requested the
club to appoint a military affairs
committee which will assist in or
Eanizing one or two units of the
guard in Las Vegas. This city can
have a cavalry troop If it wishes It.

RAISE IN VALUATION
OF LUNA COUNTY IS
NOT PUT IN EFFECT

Deming, March 26.--J. f. Saint,
chairman of the state tax commits
sion, was in the city yesterday con-
ferring with the county assessor
and others regarding the increased
tax valuation placed upon Deming
property through the recent rec
ommendation of John Wiley Of the
tax commission. After hearing the
facts regarding local values, Mr..
Saint declared that increased val
uation on real estate and improve
ments at this time is wholly unjus-
titled and the valuations placed by
the assessor and approved by the
board OF county commissioners
We're reinstated. s...
Mr.. Saint said that Luna county
would lose $250,000 alone on the
f. p. & S. w. railroad valuation
and with the general shrinkage in
cattle and other values more care
full expenditures is imperative.
On account of the drought this
county may be somewhat worse off
than those in the north, but the
state as a whole, according to Mr..
Saint, is hard hit" The solution
is to bring expenses within the
shrunken income, says Mrs. Saint.
