RAILROAD THROUGH WEST
ERN NEW MEXICO FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH PROPOSED

Interest in the possibility OF a rail
road through Columbus from Gallup
and into Mexico was revived a few
days ago when Mr.. Eates Dem
ing. accompanied by {. W. McMor-
ran OF New York, passed through
town.
1t is reported that Mr. McMorran
represents a number OF capitals OF
New York who are interested in the
possibility Of railroad through the
western part OF New Mexico tappinr
the coal fields and making > needed
outlet into Mexico. The value OF such
a road to Columbus and western New
Mexico generally is too obvious to re-
quire discussion. and every assistance
will be given that it may be built.
The fact that Mr.. McMorran is GO
ing over the proposed route without
an advertising campaign. but IS seek
ing first hand information in a quiet
way. indicates that II the project
looks feasible to him action will pro-
baby follow his report TO his prin-
cipals.-Columbus Courier.

BURSUM WILL REINTRO-
DUCE 80 DAY HOME
STEAD BILL FOR SOLDIERS

ing homesteads to soldiers, sailors
and marines upon proof of ninety
days residence. When sent to the
Department of Interior by the Com
mttee on Public Lands and Surveys.
of which Hon. Reed Smoot is chair
man, the bill was disapproved. SEN
ator Smoot then made a request of
the Department of the Interior for a
report on the bill known as the Bur
sum Bill.
The answer to this request is given
in the letter below. Senator Bursum
has stated that he will reinstate the
bill changing it SO as to cover the OBJ
jections of the Department of lnteri-
or and will press for its passage.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERI-
OR,
Washington, May %, 1921.
Hon. Reed Smoot, Chairman,
Committee on Public Lands
and Surveys.
United States Senate.
My Dear Senator:-
| have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your request for report
on s. 1907. Under the provisions of
| this bill any soldier, sailor or marine
who served in time of war would
be entitled to enter public land "un-
/ der the provisions of existing acts of
/ Congress relating to the entry OF pub
/ lis lands as homesteads' and receive
patent upon proof of ninety days
residence thereon.
/ 1t is very evident that this require
ment of ninety days residence is
merely nominal, especially as there is
no stipulation for a habitable house
upon the tract entered, and the stay
OF that short period would in most
cases, amount merely to camping on
the so-caled homestead, Certainly
this ninety DAYS residence would not
in any manner tend to show an in
tention on the soldiers part 10 make
a home upon the tract in view of the
fact that there is no provision for
improvements or cultivation, it is ap-
parent that the requirements of the
bill would not insure any action what
soever looking to the reclamation OF
the land for any purpose whatsoever
In other words. this bill provide
simply for giving away the public
lands to any wartime soldiers who
VIII take the trouble to file the nee
cSSary entry papers at the proper
office and t. submit proof OF facts
which can have no materlalty what
socyer so far as concerns the sol
dier's future welfare, or the public
good.
The statement that the entry shall
be made under the provisions o
existing acts of Congress relating tc
the entry Of public land as home
StcadS indicates that lands deSlgna.
/, ed under the stock raising act may
lie entered in units up to 64O acces
while those designated only undci
the enlarged homestead act NAV be
entered in units OF not exceeding ~
acres, and those not designated nm
der either act may be entered oni'
. in units OF 100 acres. Aside from mp
wards OF four million men who scryc'
during the World War there are ;
great number of men who served r
the Spanish american War and th'
/ PhilppincS lnsurrcctlon and cvc'
! the Civil War who survive and hlv'
NOT made homestead entries Thl

Smith McNary Bill carries $25O,OOO,
600 for reclamation and there is
ground for the. belief that it may pass
at this Congress.

White comes highly recommended for
appointment as Postmistress of the

FRANCE DENIES PARLEY
WITH RUSSIA ON DEBT
Declares No Negotiations Are Un.
der Way With Soviet Govern
ment on Obligation.

PARIS. August 3.-Reports that ne
gotiations for recognition of the Rus
sian debt to France were impending.
which have been in circulation for
several days, We're given official de-
NAL today.
The denial seems TO have been
prompted by circumstantial state
ment. declared to be on reliable au-
thority. printed here this morning,
that such negotiations had been be-
gun last night by Louis Loucheur.
French minister of liberated regions.
and Leonid Krassin, Russian soviet
minister of trade and commerce.
1t was said at the foreign office to-
day that France had had no direct
communication with the Russian So
Wet government for long time on
any subject other than mere details
of the repatriation of prisoners. 1t
was pointed out also that George
Petrograd. to whom in the version
of the story the initiative in the
reputed negotiations between Krassin
and the French government was at
tributed. had been dead for three years.
Before the collapse of the czarist
regime in Russia that government
had contracted a debt to France ap-
proximating s5.00O.000.000 dollars.
When the soviet administration of
Russia was established the bolsheviki
refused to acknowledge this debt, and
to this fact has been attributed the
refusal of France to enter into any
negotiations with representatives of the
bolsheviki or to arrange a trade agree
ment such as was recently entered into
between Great Britain and soviet
Russia.
