FIFTY MILLION PROVIDED
FOR LIVE STOCK RAISERS
IN LIEU OF BURSUM BILL
Special to State Record.

SpeCldl 10 Stdte NtSolu'
Washington, June l5-In lieu of Sem
ator Bursum's bill for relief of cat
tie and sheep men granting them long
or time and providing money for fur
ther loans, secretary OF the treasury
Melon informs Senator Rursum that
he has arranged with Morgan and
company of New York, for subscrip-
tion to loan fund twenty five million
dollars, Pittsburgh bankers twelve
million and one MILLION dollars, Chica-
go bankers and banks west OF Chic
ago twelve and one hall million dol
lars. This fund is Immediately avail
able at the rate of interest charged
by the federal reserve board and will
be loaned on six months notes, re-
movable for as long as needed up to
two years, to be used exclusively for
relief of cattle and sheep men. This
magnificent result is due to the fact
that after introduction OF Senator
Bursum's bill that legislation was Wig
orously pushed. Pronounced action
became necessary to hasten use OF the
money to the man who needs it, and
to prevent hastily legislation at thi!
time, Senator Bursum proudly wei
comes this relief and believes that a
permanent bill will finally be passed
to prevent future recurrence OF pre-
sent troubles and develop a perman-
ent aid fund for all conditions like
the present. This fund OF fifty mil
lion is exclusively for relief OF cattle
and sheep men. Senator BurSum'
bill suspending assessment work oI
mining claims passed senate and i
now pending in the house. An am
endment curtails time for extension
of assessment work to July first nine
teen twenty two.

first of this week, which was held for
the purpose Of inducing, ]. X. Wag-
ncr, the new president into his Of
flee, stated on his return to Albuquer-
que, that there are one thousand
and thirty four teachers in attend
ance."
In further comment Or Boyd said
This, am informed, is the large
est number that has ever been en-
rolled at this period OF a summer
session, and in so far as attendance
is concerned the school is entering on
its most successful term
81 am sure that the work OF the
summer school will be as successful
as the attendance. Although there
was naturally some confusion at the
change in the management this has
all disappeared Everyone is well
satisfied with the present organlza-
ton and with its head, and the teach
ers attending, with many of whom
talked. are enthusiastic over the pros
pect before them. The entire mem
bership OF the board of regents is sat
isied with the plans Mr. Wagner has
outlined both for his summer and
regular faculties, and with his outline
OF the budget He is taking hold
Of the work with the skill and pudg-
ment that we knew could be expect
ed OF him and there is no doubt in my
mind that under his direction this in
stitution will grow and expand par
ticularly along the line most urgently
needed in our state, that OF the thor
ough training OF more teachers for
service in our public schools"
