ONE THOUSAND STUDENTS
EXPECTED FOR SUMMER
NORMAL AT LAS VEGAS

Las Vegas, May 5.-The summer
term of the New Mexico Normal
University will be held in this city
June ! to July %. A strong faculty
has been assembled and there is as
surance that there will be enough
teachers to take care of all the clas-
ses. The classes will be divided in
to as small units as possible, so that
all students will have opportunity to
get the greatest amount of person
al attention from the instructors and
thus gain the greatest benefit from
their work.
The Commercial Club OF La. We
gas, representing the business men
of the Community, has guaranteed
the Normal University against a
deficit in the summer school OF $780,
600. Last year the school was con-
Quoted with great difficulty because
Of the large increase in costs of
all kinds, including the railway fares
of students. The appropriation
failed to cover the entire expenditure
in 1920. and, with little If any more
money available this year, il was fear
ed the summer school would have
to be abandoned The business mems
guarantee, and the slight advance in
tuition makes the 1921 summer school
possible.

LOW RATE OF GOLD
DESTROYS WESTERN MINES

The story Of Cripple Creek the
greatest gold camp in the United
States, in the May SUNSET, ex-
plains the disastrous effect Of the
present low rate of gold on all West
ern mining activities.
Stock gambling, as usual, accom-
panied the development of the mines.
II reached its climax in 1901. In that
year the gold output rose to the as
tonishing figure OF S2i,986,000. Trad
ing ran to 100000 and 100000
shares a day. One firm alone handled
10000 shares in twenty-four hours.
But the fever did not last.
As production slid back, trading
declined, Last year the output OF
the mines fell to less than Sl0,0e0,ooO
and transactions on the exchange TO
a few thousand shares a day.
The outbreak of the great war
shook the camp TO its foundation. The
call TO arms naturally took hundreds
OF sturdy miners to the field OF bat
tie. Then prices leaped skywsrd and
the cost OF labor mounted. There
were consultations of some of che
great producing mines. Il wa. neces-
sary to consolidate to keep on oper-
ating. This meant the steady eli
min alton of the small producer who
was unable to keep his expense down
to the level Of a stationery income
All commodity values doubled, but
the price of gold remained unchang-
ed at twenty dollars an ounce And
so one mine after the other closed
down, grass grew over the dumps
and cows once more grazed on the
golden pasture.
And that is the story of CEipple
Creek today. 1t is the story of Lead
vile and of Creede and of other FAM
Gus gold districts throughout the Far
West and Alaska. Only the richest
mines are surviving and they can 60
deeper only at ever increasing cost
Cnless some way il found to lift the
purchasing power Of gold back to its
1914 level the gold output of the Far

dishes, placed in an oven. and heated
for six hours at a temperature close
TO that of boiling water. The paste
is then transformed into a hard crust
which is pulverized and sifted. and
distributed in packages containing
either 10 or rs doses.
The strength of the vaccine is
thoroughly tested on experimental
animals before it is distributed among
cattle owners This vaccine is mixed
with definite quantities of sterile wa
ter, filtered and injected under the
skin in front OF the animals should
ers. The immunity conferred may
last for 10 months, but animals vac
cinated before they are months
old and those in badly infected dis
tricts should be revaccinated before
the following blackleg season.
Aside from the powder form oi
vaccine as mentioned, other and new
er methods of immunization are now
in use. The use of blackleg aggres-
sin and blackleg filtrate as made by
various biological manufacturer is to
be recommended The aggressin-
the most expensive of these products
is without doubt the most potent
product obtanable, while the iiltrate
II fresh and properly prepared, is
perhaps the second best product. The
powder vaccine is the Oldest product
in use, but ii has an enviable record
for the good it has done.

Vaccination has reduced the losse:
by blackleg from 10 per cent in ar
ordinary year to less than one-hali
OF | per cent. While vaccination i.
treatment best administered by
skilled veterinaries, there are other
preventive methods which may anc
should be praSticed by the reclaim,
nation farmer if he is in a blacklel
region. 1t is of prime importance
that animals be removed from al
infected pasture to a noninfected field
Swampy ground should be drained
. catcasses OF animals that have dec
from the disease should be buriee
deeply or burned to prevent dissemin
alton OF the germs over vast area!
through the agency OF dogs, wolves
buzzards, or crows. Stables shoulc
be disinfected, and also the grounc
where the animals lay at the TIM
OF death, and possible germs shoulc
be destroyed in the infected pastures
One of the most effective methods
OF doing this is to allow the gras.
10 grow high on the pasture, ant
when sufficiently dry to burn it off
One burning is not sufficient to dis
infect an infected pasture, but tn,
process should be repeated severa
years in succession. This method il
in many instances impracticable, a
few cattle owners can affect il, anC
the only means left for the protec
ton OF the animals is vaccination.

OPERATIONS OIL LEASE
LAW FOR FIRST YEAR
Appiie stions for Permits to Pros
psct 10000
Number of Permits Issued; 1000
Number of Leases Issued: 120

The prediction that the Leasing Act
is generally acceptable and that there
would be no grand rush by Congress:
TO load it with amendments is up
held by the records of the closing
session OF the Goth Congress. Only
two or three bills by way OF arIc' IL
nent were introduced and they were
not even reported out of Committee
Not only is the law itself thus sustain
ed but its administration after a test
of more than a year, is more strongly
intrenched in public favor than ever
before.
Stimulating Development
The synopsis OF results at the head
OF this column is evidence the people
of the oil bearing public land States
have accepted this legislation at par
value and that it is resulting, as was
hoped, in real development of the
natural resources of the West. The
expectations OF the trainers of the
law have been realized. II has
brought hope and stimulation to in
dustries that before, for the most
part, knew only stagnation.
States Are Beneficiariss
The beneficiaries will be not only
those citizens who have taken a
chance" and developed oil or other
minerals on the public domain, but
the states where such mineral is found
and the Reclamation Service. I h c
states receive 81 l-2 percent of all roy
alties, rentals, etc. and the general fund
of the Reclamation Service 81 l-2 per
cent leaving only 10 per cent for the
general government as mere ex-
pense fund. But the oil and coal pub
lie land States are benefited indirect
ly by the large share given to the Re-
clamation Service as IT will help 10
put through to completion some OF
the general Reclamation Projects
within their boundaries now anguish
ing for lack of necessary appropria-
tions. The development of this oil
industry, for example, in States like
Wyoming and Montana, will, in an
other year or two greatly tighten the
burden of taxation in those common
wealths. They will receive even very
substantial Treasury drafts at the
close of the present fiscal year, june
30th next.
Inadequate Working Force
One of the obstacles in the way OF
good administration of the lease law
is the want of sufficient force 10
handle the business. Congress has
imposed this task on the Land De-
partment without making any provi-
sion for the necessary examiners and
clerks to take charge of same. 1t has
been necessary to rob other divisions
to organize the oil section and the
force thus secured is wholly made
quate.
The statement is not exaggerated.
that the business already in hand in
the oil division without counting
a volume of new business daily accru-
ing, could not be dispatched by the
present force in fifteen years. It is
quite evident that if Congress does
not relieve this situation It viii hear
from the West IN something ap-
preaching thunder tones.

Louisiana House Rejects
Increase in Tax on Oil

Baton Rouge, La.-Louisiana's legis-
lature Wednesday refused to increase
the severance licensel tax levy from
2h per cent to per cent on oil and
gas when the House by vote of 46 to
64 defeated the per cent amendment
to the Alexander bill offered by J. S.
Douglas of Shreveport.
A few minutes later an amendment
by ]. W. Ethride of Colfax to authorize
the parishes to enjoy one-fifth of the
levy on all natural resources, timber
sale, sulphur, gravel, etc, was over
whelmingly defeated.
The Alexander bill carrying 21A per
cent on oil and gas and per cent on
all other natural resources was then
engrossed and passed to third reading.
A combination between the Parker
country forces and the New Orleans
regulars, who fell into line, made the
victory possible.

Ia. HOUSE PASSES
HIGHWAY MEASURE
Fifty of 73 Amendments Are
Adopted-Vote Was 81
to 0.

Baton Rouge lathe hoYsr OF rep,
resentatives at 10 p. IN. Thursday by
q unanimous vote, 81 yeas to no nays,
finally passed the highway department
control bill, tc carry into effect the
"pay as you go" road plan laid down
in the new constitution.
Passage of the bill was the climax
of a struggle that has ragged since the
opening day Of the extraordinary ses-
sion, and now transfers the highway
| fight to the Senate.
The House spent virtually the entire
day in a contest over amendments to
the bill. A total Of seyenty-three
amendments were proposed. Out of
this number about fifty were adopt
ed, Most of those that were accepted
were in the shape of additions to the
routes of the highways. Nearly every
amendment to the routes went
through. If there were any towns,
villages or hamlets in the state that
were not connected with the highway
system through provisions already in
the bill or by amendments it will be
difficult to find them on the map.
The bill now goes to the senate for
the consideration of that body. While
the house was wrestling with the bill
the senate highway committee pre-
pared a bill of it's own, based on the
measure drafted by L. E. Boykin Of
the Federal Highway Department.
The senate committee bill proposes
to create a state highway commission
of three men with overlapping terms,
appointive by the governor from the
state at large This feature of the
senate bill will be along the same
lines as the house bill, but the other
provisions of the senate bill are far
different. Among the differences in
the two bills is that the house bill
would name the road routes in the bill
while the Senate bill does not. Anoth-
er issue on which the two houses are
apart is that of the method of nam
ing the state highway engineer. The
house bill would give the highway
commission the right to name the
engineer, while the senate
bill makes him appointive by the gov
ernor. These and other differences
will have to be settled between the
two houses before the bill is finally
enacted into law.
