BURSUM ADVOCATES FURTHER
RELIEF FOR LIVE STOCK
GROWERS AND FARMERS

Washington, July 27-Senator Bur-
sum has this week been in conference
with Eugene Meyer managing direct
or of the war finance board and Mr.
Mitchell director of the federal re-
serve board with a view toward in
cooperating into the substitute to the
agricultural bill special provision
for loans to cattlemen. This relief
is in addition to the cattle pool al
ready organized. The substitute was
introduced by Senator Kellogg and
in all probability will become a law
as it was especially recommended in
special message by the president,
The war finance corporation under
this act will have available resources
OF one billion dollars. Lonas are
authorized and advances made to
banks and trust companies, members
and members. Large stock paper
is authorized to be purchased from
banks and trust companies taking
over chattel mortgages, without re-
course, except as TO security. 1t is
possible that additional powers may
be granted providing for direct loans
in certain cases where banking fac
ilities are inadequate. Advances and
loans are also to be made on cotton
and all agricultural products. SEN
ator Bursum advocated relief for
stockmen and farmers by favoring
the passage of the bill with the am
endment outlined above.

REPUBLICAN STATE CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE WILL MEET
IN SANTA FEE TOMORROW

The meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee which will fix the
time, place and apportionment OF
delegates to the State Convention to
nominate U. S. Senator to succeed
Senator Bursum will be held in this
city tomorrow.
A large attendance OF the commit
tee is expected. There has not been
much expression from members of
the committee so far as to what city
they will favor with the meeting. The
time can not be far from the 10Th of
August, in order to give the various
counties time to hold their conven-
tions and still allow for short CAM
paign and the preparations for the
election. The apportionment will be
very much smaller than when a full
state ticket is nominated-probably
between three and four hundred.
The call issued by the executive
committee which met last Saturday
for the meeting of the full committee
is as follows:
NOTICE
BY order of the State Republican
Executive Committee, meeting of

CATRON

Colonel Charles P. O'Connor, of
Philadelphia recently concluded a
deal by the terms of which he will
drill the Red Lake structure in Cat
ron county.
Colonel O'Connor was attracted by
the report of Dean Winchester, for
the United States geological survey
in bulletin OLA, who states that
reservoir sands of excellent quality
and rather exceptional continually are
present in the Miguel formation, and
at least two unnamed but persistent
sandstones in the lower part of the
formation furnish beds almost unriv-
allied as sand in which oil may ac-
cumulate, and that a we'll drilled
200 feet deep will test the Cow
Spring anticlne and a well 5000 feet
deep will test the Red Lake struc-
ture
Colonel O'Connor has made appli-
cation for an oil and gas permit, COW
ering all the government land on the
top of the structure and will start
drilling with a standard rig with
capacity Of 1000 feet or more
1t is estimated that the cost of dri'-
ling the first two wells will be rot
less than S5O0.0Ol-Magdalena News.

TEST CASE OF TITLE
TO LANDS IN FORESTS
DECIDED AGAINST STATE

New Mexico has no title to certain
public lands that have been offere
for sale by the state commissione
of public lands, and is therefore with
out authority to sell or dispose o
the the same, it is held by Judge Col
in Neblett, OF the United States dis
trict court, in a suit that has jus
been decided. The case decided i
one in which the United States o
America is plaintiff and Nelson A
Field, commissioner OF public land
of the state of New Mexico, is de
fendant. An injunction will issu,
permanently restraining the defend
ant from offering for sale and sell
ing the lands described in the plain
tft's complaint
This was an action brought by thu
United States OF America against thu
'land commissioner of the state O.
New Mexico to enjoin the commits
sioner from selling and disposing o.
the following described lands:
Sections SO, township Is south
range y east; lots /, ?, 3, and 4
section 10, township Is south. range
Is east, the west half, east half north.
east quarter, south half southeast
quarter; section 80, township II south
range II east. and section 10. town
ship Il south, range y east, New
Mexico Principal Meridian, situated
within the exterior boundaries OF the
Lincoln national forest, in the state
OF New Mexico.
This cause was submitted to the
court on an agreed statement of facts
} In conclusion the court holds:
THE Enabling Act granted to the
State of New Mexico additional lands
for school purposes, (sections ? and
3 in each township, which had not
been reserved or disposed of under
any laws OF the United States and
confirmed to the state OF New Mex
leo sections 10 and 80 which had been
heretofore granted to the Territory
of New Mexico. The terms OF the
Enabling Act in reference to the con-
firmation and grant of lands for
school purposes, were accepted by the
people of the State OF New Mexico
in their constitution, and was a bind
ing agreement between the United
states ana tHe stare OF New Mex
leo. One OF the conditions agreed to
by the State OF New Mexico was
that the title to sections ,, 10, 32
and 30, whether surveyed Or unsur-
veyed, located within the national
forests, should not vest in the state
until the part OF the said national
forests embracing any of said sections
should be restored to the public do
main. By adopting this provision in
its constitution, il relinquin shed its
title to sections 10 and 30 located
within the Lincoln National Forest,
acquired by it under the provision
of the Act OF June p, 1893, and con-
sented that the said sections should
be administered as a part OF the
forest as provided for in section 8
of the Enabling Act"
The only procedure by which the
state of New Mexico may recover
title to these lands will be through
presidential proclamation. Such pro-
clamation would eliminate these lands
from the national forest and restore
TO the public domain. 1t would have
the endorsement OF the secretary of
agriculture before receiving the sig
nature OF the president"
