ARMY OF DIAZREAL WINTER STATEHOOD BY JULY 4, 111, IS PRESIDENT
MEXICOTAFT'S NEW YEAR GREETING TO NEW
Washington, D. C, Jan. 2. As a New Year's greeting toNew Mexico, it is announced that President Taft anticipatesthat within sixty-thre-e days from today he will have the
pleasure of sending to Governor Mills of New Mexico hisorder for the New Mexico executive to issue the proclamationcalling an election for two congressmen, state officers, mem-
bers of the legislature and county officers for the State ofNew Mexico. The constitution has been carefully examined
by the president and many members of both houses of con-
gress and it is announced on the highest authority that it iscertain to meet their approval. The election for state officersin New Mexico is to take place not less than sixty days normore than ninety days from the date of the proclamation.This document will probably be dated March 11, 1911. This
means that the election will be held in June of this year. Itwas also announced today that it will scarcely be possiblefor Arizona to get the election returns on the constitution forthat state to Washington in time to be submitted to the presentcongress. This because of the fact that the election inArizona is held nineteen days later than that in New Mexico.For this reason statehood for Arizona will probably be de-
layed for another two years.

TO HIS DEATH AT
LOS ANGELES
MACHINE COLLAPSES WHILEFEARLESS BIRD MAN WAS

Aviation Field, Lob Angeles, Jan,2. The winds, whose treacheriesArch Hoxey so often defied and con
quered. killed the noted aviator lateSaturday. As If jealous of his Intrepjdity, they seized him and hisfragile flying machine, , ilung themdown out of the sky and crushed outhis life.
He fell dead upon the field fromwhich he had risen but a short timebefore, with laughing promise tothousands of cheering spectators topierce the zenith of the heavens, sur-
pass his own phenomenal altituderecords and soar (higher than anyother man dared go.
Cross currents, whirled off by aragrant storm that floated In fromthe ea .caught his biplane and shothim downward 563 fleet to earth.Catching his frail machine In one ofthe spectatoular spiral glides that aredangerous even in the. calmestweather, the warring winds sportedwith It a moment, juggled it, andthen as if suddenly maddened andfrenzied, hurled it to the ground.
When the field attendants reachedthe spot where the tangled pile ofwreckage lay, Hoxey was dead. Oneside of the face, whose engagingsmile had won the admiration ofthousands of spectators each dayduring the meet, had been crushedinto an unrecognizable mass.
His body lay broken and twistedalmost out of all semblance to ahuman form. All of the spectatorsin the grandstand witnessed thetragedy, as it occurred directly lac-
ing them, on the far side of thecourse. They sat in awe-stricke-n si-
lence for almost interminable min-
utes until the announcer gave thenews through the megaphone:
"Hoxey has been killed.")j Then from every part of the greatfitand came the sobbing of women,who but a short time before had
slapped their gloved hands to the
daring aviator as he arose from thefield for his fatal flight.

ground. The aviator had been In theair an hour an a half when the fatalaccident occurred and had sailedagain over the snow-cappe- d summitof Mount Wilson, whose heights hehad conquered twice before since themeet began.
Walter Brookins, who originatedthe spiral glide and the dip whlohbrought Hoxey to his death, wan
standing In front of the press sandwatching his colleague of the Wrightteam perform. His back was turnedto the field as he talked to friends-The-
the shout went np:"Hoxey is falling."At the same instant a sigh orgaso,
not loud, but of a tremendous volumerose from the packed grandstand.That single suppressed sigh was the
only sound that came from thecrowd for fully twenty minutes alterthe accident. Brookins whirled atthe sound o the cry and saw thecrash. He uttered but one word,"God," his legs gave way beneathihlm and he fell in the roadway. Al-
though he had been In several seri-
ous accidents himself, he rose thor-ougl- y
unnerved and cried like achild.
At that tints the field announcerswere rushing up tnd down, shoutingthrough their megaphones:
"No cause for tiara; Hoxey is ml
right."But Brookins ae not convinced."That's a lie," be shouted back to
one of the liDLOunoers. "Hoxey'adead. I know it," and again he burstInto tears.
Brookins was not the only air manovercome by thi tragedy. Charles F.Willard of the Curtiss team likewise
collapsed. Wii'ard had predicted Justa moment before Hoxey fell that an
accident was Bure to overtake himin the dangerous atmosphere and al-
most before he had completed theutterance of his prophecy, it wasverified.
"I knew it was coming," he sobbeda few minutes later as he sat in his
hangar with Ms head between hishands.

ning at her Bellevue home, in thatcity.
She bore up under the shock withan exhibition of the- courage thathaJcharacterized the atrial daring of herson.
Although the tragedy had in if
every element calculated to rouse thecrowd to the highest pitch of excitement, It re'vi'iic! remarkably calmduring tb(t seconds of Hoxey'sand the ensuing long period of sus-
pense before tlity knew whether
Hoxey had been killed or only injur-ed. A squad of mounted policemenwere drawn up around the wreck,but were not needed. Only a fewattendants and newspaper men at-
tempted to get upon the field. Thesouvenir hunter was conspicuous byhis absence.

STANDARD OIL AND TOBACCO
CASES WILL DECIDE ITSCONSTITUTIONALITY
Washington, Jan. 2. Prosecutionsby the government, designed to ac-
complish the dissolution of the Stand-
ard Oil and the American Tobacco or-
ganizations embodying the greatest"anti-trust- " fight of the generation,will be taken up for the second timeby the supreme court of the UnitedStates at the beginning of Its workfor fhe New Year. Continuing itsconsideration of affairs of govern-ment, the court will Immediately after-
wards give its attention to the con-
stitutionality of the corporation taxprovisions of the Payne-Aldric- h tarifact
All three cases attracted world-wide attention when first presentedto the court about a year ago. Withthe objH!t of procuring considerationby a full bench, they were set for re--
argument on January 3. Interveningcases will cause a delay until probably January 5, when It is believedthe arguments in the tobacco casewill begin. The Standard Oil and the
corporation tax arguments will fol-
low. About three daysi will be re
quired for each.The standard Oil and the Tobacco
cases put the Sherman anti-tru- lawto the most crucial test to which it
has been subjected during the twentyyears of Its existence. The corporation tax cases place on trial the power of the federal government over
corporations. The contention hasbeen that if the Standard Oil and thetobacco organization are dissolvedthe government will be forced to 11
cense corporations in order to allow
legitimate business to be carried on
The corporation tax decision may de-
fine the power of the federal government over corporations so as to guidethis proposed subsequent legislation,Incidentally, about 125,000,000 an-
nually in taxes depend upon the decision.
Although the tobacco case is to beargued first, the Standard Oil suit hasattracted more attention. AttorneyGeneral Wickersham has referred to
the Standard Oil case as probablythe most important that ever camebefore the court
The Standard Oil suit was Instituted in 1906 in the circuit court of theUnited States for the eastern divisionof the eastern judicial district of Mis
souri. The federal government wasthe complaining party. It claimedthat the Standard Oil company ofNew Jersey, as a holding company,acquired since 1899 and held by direct stock ownership, 65 companies,These 65, It was alleged, owned thestock of 49 other companies, makinga total of 114 companies. The gov- -
ernment asked that this organizationbe dissolved under the Sherman an
st law.A year was taken by the four judg
es in the circuit court to pass on thecase. By unanimous agreement, a
decree was entered by the court dis
solving the organizaton, both becauseit was in "restraint of Interstate commerce" and because it was "attempting to monopolize." Before the decree became effective an appeal car
ried the case to the supreme court.The tobacco case was Instituted in
1907 in the circuit court of the UnitedStates for the southern district of
New York. The government here,too, was the complaining party. Allies in the various branches of the tobacco business, with combined assetsof more than $400,000,000, constitutedthe organization which the government sought to have the court dis-
solve.The four judges each rendered sep
arate opinions m tne tooacco case,but three of them united in a decree,holding many of the corporations hadenrerea into a combination "in re-
straint of trade" in violation of thefirst section of the Sherman antitrust act These three decreed thedissolution of this combination,Other corporations, including theUnited Cigar Stores company, the Im
perial Tobacco company and the British-A-
merican Tobacco company, werefound not to be in the combinationNone were held to be "monopolizing"in violation of the second section ofthe Sherman anti-tru- law.
The application of the Sherman anti-t-
rust law to these two organiza-tions, involves not only an investiga-tion into the facts, but includes an Interpretatlon of the law Itself. Theprincipal uncertainties in regard tothe law cluster around three wordsin the statute. . These words formthe baste of three questions. What is"commerce?" What is "restraint" of

much as It furnished the ouly oppor-
tunity .of the year for several thou-
sand visitors to greet the presidentand Mrs. Taft and see the interiorof the always interesting old man-
sion.The function began at 11 a. m.,
and continued until well in the af-
ternoon. The first greetings of theday were extended to the presidentand Mrs. Taft by the vice president,members of the cabinet and theirladies. Then followed the diplomaticrepresentatives accredited to theUnited States, in the prescribed at-
tire of their respective courts. Theline was led by the dean of the dip-
lomatic corps, Badon Hengelmuller,the ambassador from Austria-Hungar-
Others who attracted attentionin the brilliant assemblage were Ba-

ANDREW CARNEGIEThe man who has gained fame as
the greatest philanthropist of this orany other age, is Mr. Carnegie, whosetotal benefactions to date amount tomatiy millions of dollars. Mr. Car-
negie's latest gift is an endowment of$1,500,000 of a hero fund for Germany, similar to the hero funds es-
tablished by him in the United Statesand Canada, Great Britain andfFrance.
Knight decision, made even, more fa-
mous by the reference to it by former President Roosevelt last fall in
criticising the decisions of the supreme court. It that case the courtdeclined to suppress an alleged mono
poly In manufacture of sugar, on theground that it had authority to pro-
ceed only by way of preventing monopolies in commerce. The tobacco
corporations claim that they are concerned only incidentally in commerce.
Again the dispute as to what Is in
cluded in the word "commerce," asreferred to in the Sherman anti-tru-
law, arises in connection with thecharacter of a holding company. Both
the Standard Oil and the tobacco organizations contend that the powergranted by the constitution to regul-
ate interstate commerce is not so ex-
tensive as to Include regulation ofthe acquisitian and ownership of aholding company of stock in othercorporations. The government arguesthat whenever a holding companynecessarily stifles or directly and
substantially restricts free competition in commerce, the United Stateshas power to protect 'such commerce.
In the contest regarding the answer to the question of "What is 're-
straint' of trade or commerce?" thefirst dispute is over the interpreta-tion of "restraint of trade" as equivalent to "the absence of free com
petition." The government advancesthe theory that reduction of competition means a restraint of trade andconsequently higher prices. The corporations urge that a combination ofproducers may mean a reduction of
expenses ' and consequently lower
prices.The government further contends
that the Sherman anti-tru- law refersonly to such restraints aa are directand material. One judge In passingon the tobacco caae in the circuitcourt held that the law referred toevery restraint without regard to di-
rectness or materiality. It is saidthat this doctrine would stifle legiti-mate business: The defendant or-
ganizations do not-pres- s this argu-ment so much, because they claimin their cases that no direct and ma-
terial restraint of commerce exists.This claim is based upon the argu-ment that they are engaged principal-ly, not in interstate commerce aswere the railroads in the NorthernSecurities case, but in the manufacture of goods, which may go into Interstate commerce later.
The third division of the contest. isover the interpretation of the word
"monopolize." The Standard Oil is
iparjoularly concerned 'with thisphase of the controversy, because thelower court found that it was attempting to monopolize. Attorneysfor the company advance the argument that under the law it could le-
gally acquire the trade of the worldIn an article provided it did nothingto prevent others from competingwith it. They declare the StandardOil has done nothing to prevent others from competing. Success hascome to it, so they claim, becauseof "untiring energy, infinite skillabundant capital and steady reinvest-ment of early profits." The govern-ment has piled up volume on volumeto support its contention that successwaa achieved by unfair competition
The corporation tax cases, eighteenin all, involve entirely different arguments. The corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldric- h tariff actprovide ior "a special excise tax
respect 10 me carrying on ordoing business" by corporations,"equivalent to one per centum uponupon the entire net income overand above $5,000."
Each of the cases was originatedin various courts by persons finan-
cially interested in the tax not beingpaid. These persons asked the courtsto enjoin .the payment of the tax byrespective corporations because thtax was unconstitutional. The validity of the tax was upheld in each case.
The law is opposed principally ontne ground that sit attacks the sov-
ereignty of the states by taxing statiranohises; that it invades the rightto due process of law by levying atax on classes fixed arbitrarily; andthat it is a direct tax not apportionedamong the states,' as required by theconstitution.

"Of course, the success of this at-
tempt is contingent upon the kindof weather I find up there," said
Hoxey, just before he left the ground."Some of the temperatures one en-
counters in the higher altitudes are
simply beyond human endurance.But if I can find It and my motorworks as well as it has been workingfll come down with a record of
12,000 feet or more."Even at that moment the wind had
attained a velocity that kept morecautious aviators on the ground. Af-
ter he had ascended, it gadned rapid-
ly in violence. Moreover, it created
a "Swiss cheese" atmosphere, themost treacherous meteorological con- -
dition that man birds have to con-
tend with.There is nothing by which It may
be known why Hoxey did not go
higher than the 7,142 feet which his
baragoraph showed he had attained,
but he apparently encountered at
that altitude the same conflicting air

DEFICIT IN U. 8. TREASURY RE-
DUCED FROM 26 to 6 MIL-
LIONS
Washington, Jan. 2. The new yearfinds the finances of the United Statestreasury far Improved over the condi-tion in which the business of 1910was begun.
When 1909 began the treasuryspent some 126,000,000 more than ithad taken in. That sum took noaccount of the extraordinary expens-es for the Panama canal. The begin-ning of 1911 finds that deficit reduc-ed to $6,000,000 and the total defi-
cit, including Panama expendituresreduced to almost $26,000,000 on allaccounts practically half the amountit was a year ago.
The year closed with about $86,000,-00- 0
in the general fund and a working balance of $34,000,000 in the treasury offices, both considerably lowerthan a year ago. This is consideredby treasury officials a remarkableshowing in spite of more than $130,000,000 having been advanced out ofordinary funds for the canal construction.
The showing seems to sustain Sec--
tery MaoVeagh's declaration that thetreasury would be able to keep aneven keel until congress passed legislation to allow an Issue of securitiesupon the plans he has laid down.
Such a plan as Mr. MacVeagh andSenator Aldrlch have so far workedout contemplate the issue of $50,000,-00- 0
or $100,000,000 of Panama bondsnot to be available for national bankc'rculation and at a rate of Interestblgh enough to make them attractiveto investors. Such a plan promisesto develop into legislation when con-
gress settles down to work.Not only do the working balance
and the general fund show their
strength after the six months' strain,but the ordinary deficit for the fiscalyear has been actually reduced. Theclose of the first month of the fiscal
year found the cash drawer out some$9,000,000 on ordinary account.
The first half of the year closedwith that reduced to $6,000,000, al-
though it had been as high as 0
within that time. Close checkon expenditures, with added receiptsIn some quarters, which, however,probably have been offset by decreas-es in others, have gradually worn itdown.
The working balance is now $4,000,-00- 0
better than the close of the firstmonth's business found it, and whenit is considered that several timessince the firscal year began the readycash has sunk as low as $26,000,000and the, general fund as low ia$84,000,000, the present ' conditiongives satisfaction to those treasuryofficials who have been predictingthat the government's finances would
right themselves in the face of anabnormal drain.
Two important possibilities are tobe reckoned- with, however, duringthe next six months in any study otthe national finances. The first is thedecision of the supreme court in thecorporation tax cases. Should that beaverse to the government the treas-
ury would be called upon to pay out$27,000,000. That would be met byan immediate issue of 3 per centcertificates of indebtedness to runone year.
The second is that the reclamationservice may call for $20,000,000 forworks in the West. That would bemet by an issue of bonds already au-
thorized, but the treasury cannot is-
sue the bonds until It has paid outthe money. The expenditure of the$20,000,000 will not be in a lumpand the treasury will have to pay !tout in comparatively small sums.
The Issue of Panama securities ata rate of Interest which will attractinvestors and supply funds without
Inflating the present basis of nation-
al bank currency is the next bigmove contemplated.
MUS T ELECT NEW
SENATOR FROM
TENNESSEE
LEGISLATURE. WHICH. MET TO-DA-
AT NASHVILLE, FACES
IMPORTANT TASK
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 2. The fifty-seven- th
general assembly of the stateof Tennessee which convened todayis expected to make for itself an im-
portant place in the history ol thestate. The election of a UnitedStates senator to succeed James
is the work of'the early days of the session.
The indecisive results of the recent
legislative elections and the wrestl-
ing of the control of the executiveSrom the democrats have combinedto bring about conditions withoutprecedent in cho political history of
Tennessee. As a consequence theoutcome of the senatorial contestcannot be predicted with any degreeof certainty. On the face of the final
returns, the regular democrats havea majority In the senate, and will, if
they hold together, be able to or-
ganize the senate by a safe majority.In the house the fusion forces havea majority larger than that of the
regular democrats In the senate andhence on joint ballot to elect a Unit-te-
States senator will have a ma-
jority of a few votes. The regulardemocrats, however, are not ready toconcede the success of the fusionforces and today both sides are con-
fidently claiming they will be ableto elect the senator.
Senator Frazier hopes to be chosenas his own successor. Governor Pat-terson and former Governor McMil-
lan are aspirants for the toga onthe side of the democratic regularsand General Luke K. Wright, formersecretary of war, and John J. Ver-tree- s,
a prominent Nashville attor-
ney, are also mentioned in the same
To Choose Dick's SuccessorColumbus, O., Jan. 2. The seventy-nint- h
general assembly of Ohio mettoday and perfected its organization.The democratic contest for the seatin the United States senate, now heldby Charles Dick, will '
monopolize at-
tention during the early days of thesession. Atlee Pomerene, the newlieutenant governor, and Edward W.
Hanley, of Dayton, continue to bethe leaders In the race for the toga,and barring complications that maycome with the entrance of some oth-
er formidable candidates, the con-
test will be fought to a finish, be-
tween these candidates. All other as-
pirants seemingly are in the "alsomentioned" class, with the possibil-
ity that the contest between Hanleyand Pomerene may become tangledto the extent that a compromise can-
didate will offer the only solution.
EXECUTIVE TAKES OFFICELansing, Mich., Janl 2. Simplicity
formed the keynote of the ceremoniestoday attending the inauguration ofChase M. Oeborn as governor' of Mich-
igan. All military pomp and osten-
tation were lacking and even the cus-
tomary public reception was dispens-ed with, in accordance with the wish-
es of the new executive. The inau-
guration exercises were held on thesteps of the capitol and were wit-
nessed by a large crowd. The prin-
cipal features of the program werethe invocation by the Rev. J. A. Ken-
nedy, the administering of the oathof office by the chief justice of thesupreme court, and thejnaugural ad-
dress of the new governor.

WATER POWER PERMITSWashington, Jan. 2. A new form
of water power permits and new reg-ulations for water power plants onthe National Forests have just beenapproved by the Secretary of Agri-culture. The important changes un-
der the new regulations arei thatthey provide for the issuance of apreliminary permit which secures tothe party making the first applicationprotection during the time necessaryto make his final surveys and procurethe data for the Issuance of the finalpermit. The new permit will termin-ate at the expiration of 50 years, un-
less revoked by the secretary of agri-culture, and the charge will be basedupon the net horsepower capacity orthe plant, beginning with a chargeof 10 cents per horsepower during thefirst year and rising; gradually 10c
per year to $1 per horsepower In thetenth year, which charge will con-
tinue thereafter. Computed, for the50 year period, the charge under thenew permit is about 30 per cent lessthan that tinder 1he old form. Pro-
vision is madjr for a readjustmentevery ten years of the factors uponwhich the egliintied capacity of tneplant la computed. It is believed thatthe new regula'uns will encourageextensive water power developmentIn the National Forests under provi-sions which will fully protect theinterests of the people.

People are awakening to the factthat the available waters for irriga-tion In New Mexico can be put tomuch greater use than they have inthe past. Not more than 300,000acres were under irrigation in 1910,and a large area of that only Indif-
ferently cultivated. But here andthere, with increasing rapidity, landand water right owners are not onlyeconomical in the use of water, butare resorting to intensive cultivationand are recording greater yields peracre than a few years ago were deem-ed possible. Irrigation districts arebeing organized, power pumpingplants installed, reservoirs built andcolonies planted. A careful surveyof the water resources made by theoffice of the territorial engineershows that at least a million acres,or three times the present area nowcultivated under irriga,t'on, can bereclaimed with the waters availableat present. He granted during thepast fiscal year 158 applications toappropriate water covering 617,816acres of land. Construction has al-
ready begun under 25 of these appli-cations, ten more of the projects havebeen completed and eight are one-fift- h
finished. In addition, the gov-ernment is pushing construction onthe Engle dam, Is making Improve-ments on the Carlsbad project and Is
CANTA FE, N. M., Jan. 2. Twelvethousand entries were filed in 1910
in the six federal land offices of New
Mexico, covering more than 2,000,000acres, but stiH leaving 36,000,000acres of the public domain, fromwhich, however, the new state willselect 8,000,000 acres of the best landfor Its public schools and Institutions.Despite the drouth (there was exactlyfive inches deficiency from the nor-
mal rainfall in 1910,) homeseekerscontinued to flock into the territory,and there is every indication thatNew Mexico is not only maintain-
ing, but is accelerating the 67.6 percent rate of increase in population forthe last" ten years dieclo0ed by thecensus. Of the 327,396 people in thecommonwealth, more than 100,000same the last four years, most ofthem settling in the eastern tier of
counties, but crowding more and moretoward the Rio Grande river.
The year just past has been aneven'ful one for New Mexico. Con-
gress passed and the president sign-
ed an enabling act, which was follow-
ed by the election of i00 delegatesto a constitutional convention, whichconvened at Santa Fe on October 3
and adjourned on November 21. Itconsisted of 71 republicans and 29
democrats and formulated a constitu-tion that Is considered "safe andsane," conservative, and yet progres-sive, a document which it is certainthat the president and congress will
approve, but which must first be pas-
sed upon by the voters on January21. The commonwealth hopes to addIts star to the flag on July 4, 1911,

WHY NOT TAFT IN 1912?
iFrom the political wiseacres atWashington came the news the otherday that President Taft and ColonelRoosevelt had been exchanging manyfetters of late and had renewed theirwarm friendship of other days al-
though, as a matter of fact, there hasnever been any good reason to be-
lieve that these distinguished gentle-men have ever been anything but thebest of friends, the efforts of de-
signing politicians to the contrary.However, this purported recent ex-
change of letters was construed tomean that harmony would prevailfrom now on in the republican ranksand that Colonel Roosevelt would notoppose the renomination of Presi-
dent Taft. These stories brought aprompt rejoinder from the Colonel
that all this talk about him havingdecided to support President Taft fn1012 was absurd. Of course he did
spy he wouldn't, so his denial is not
any Indication that relations aretrained between the president and
the man who jlayed such a large
part In making him presidents
Coupled with the colonel's "denial"is another story from Washington tothe effect that President Taft has
made It as clear as he possibly could
liake it without indulging in a di-r.--
affirmation on the subject,
wjlch, of course, would be in bad
taste, that be to going to seek ala 1912. Probably this
news would; be nearer correct If itstated that President Taft would ac-
cept the republican presidential nomi-
nation In 1912 were It tendered him.
And why shouldn't such a tenderbe made! President Taft's administ-
ration has not been perfect. A perf-
ect presidential administration will
not ime along until the millennium
arrives and that is still in the ratherdistant Mure, But the blunders made
by President Taft have not been
nmy or great. And against, them

that is unparalleled. His in-ei- s

A BLIZZARD
STORK OF TIME DELIVERED NEW
BORN YOUNGSTER IN FREEZ-
ING TEMPERATURE
On the wings of the roughest bliz-
zard oi' the winter the infant year1911 was ushered in. The giant storkoi time that left the youngster onthe door step of the world had tomake his way through freezing tem-
perature; buffeted by boisterouswinds he nevertheless arrived exact-
ly at the same hour at which he hasbeen leaving the new born childrenoi Father Time for many thousandsof years. This youngest of the everincreasing family of the years great-ly resembles his brothers and sistersgone .before. Like child of man hecame into the world with a lustycry. The shriek ol whistles, the boom
ing of guns and the .loud clangor of
bells Bhowed that the voice of theNew Year was in good working order.
The infant brought with him a
mysterious packet. From it he will
dole out to each inhabitant of thisworld dally his little portion. Forsome there will be happiness. Forothers there will be discouragement,and for some even death. But theNew Year is kind; he knows how tomaintain silence until the time hascome for him to hand out to each ofus our share of the contents of his
mysterious parcel.Before 1911 has grown old and tot- -
tered off the scene of action Las Ve
gas expects to see him bring to thiscity the realization of Its anticipa-tions for increased prosperity. TheCamfield project will have been com
pleted; the Santa Fe's new round-
house will be under construction;that road's branch line to Vaughn orFort Sumner, to both of which placessurveys have been made, will benearing completion; the new
thoroughfares Jo Mora and the south-eastern part of the county will becompleted and In daily use; the dryfarmers fill have scored another suc-
cess; the new federal building will
be well along In construction; theconstitution will have been adopted;statehood bringing into Las Vegasalone hundreds of new citizens andmany thousands of dollars looking fora place where they can be put towork earning interest for their own
ers and boosting Las Vegas. In fact,to catalogue the good things that1911 has in store for Las Vegaswould require much valuable timeand space- -
A number of interesting and in-
credible things will occur here dur-
ing the year. First of all, Las Ve-
gas will have a baseball team thatwill swipe everything in the south-west almost unbelievable but true;Fred Nolette will succeed in killinga deer; William Harper will catcha fish as big as the one that got off
his hook last year; Manuel Henriquezand "Doc" Hess will join their friendsin the ranks of the benedicts; Geo.A. Fleming will keep on boosting Las
Vegas; F. H. Pierce will gain one
pound and thirteen ounces; E. 3.
Murphy will continue to earn thereputation of being the most pleasantman in town; F. O. Blood will stayup an hour longer each night in orderto talk politics twenty-thre- e hours In

except some of the society girls willhave another birthday; the furnituremenwlll sell several baby carriages;some of us will get a ride to Ma-
sonic, Odd Fellows or Mount Calvarycemetery and 1912 will find every-

cause congress would not make thereductions in the tariff law which thepeople demanded. But the tariff lawthat the president did sign is a muchbetter and broader measure than anywhich have gone before it, and forthi3 he should get credit Instead ofcondemnation. And the president'sfurther plans for turning the presenttariff board into a real tariff commis-

IIKROES OP THE AIR
A man of distinguished valor orenterprise in danger or fortitude in
suffering; a prominet or central per-
sonage in any remarkable action orevent. This is the word hero d.
Science therefore is indebted tothose hero aviators, who, In 1910,
unselfishly gave up' their lives thatman might triumph in his efforts o
conquer the air by perfecting a craftthat would do his bidding in thatethereal space, the bounds of whichare boundless.
Counting Hoxey and Moisant, whomet their deaths on Saturday,the last day of the year justpast, thirty aviators were killedin 1910 by falls from heavler-than-a- ir
machines, as against five in thetwo years previous. And those threeyears comprise the working historyof the aeroplane, for it was in 1908
that Lieutenant Thomas E. Self ridge,U. S. A-- , fell with Orville Wright, inthe first public trial in an aeroplane,at Fort Myer. Selfridge was the firstman killed in amachine. The other American dead,all killed this year, are Johnstone,Hoxey and Moisant.
The records of aviation this yearbore out the forebodings of thoseveterans who, when novices first be
gan to flock the air, warned:"Watch the death list."The complete list for the year

Lampower was a great believer InIndividual rights, and so far as readi-ng; his wlfa's correspondence was con-cerned he would have been as likely tolisten at keyhole or steal candy frombabies. -
'Still, his-wif- being away fromhome, he wanted a list of books theyhad made out together, so he rum-
maged in her desk to find It. When heunfolded the paper he took to be thelist he found it closely written overin a queer. Jerky style, and It began:"My Darling!" Now, in the first place,It was not Lampower's writing. In thesecond place, what right had any oth-er man to call Louise his dar-
ling? Or she to let him? Lam-
power, with frowning brows andcompressed lips, unbelievingly andgrimly read through the amazing epistle. For It was amazing! Lampowerhad written a few love letters himselfIn the course of a tempestuous youth-ful existence, but he never remem-bered bursting into anything like this,it took his breath away.
"The Idiot!" he said out loud as hefinished.
He found he was clutching the pa-per in both hands as though to tearit, so he smoothed it out carefully andrefolded It Then he found it hadbeen merely the top letter on a pile ofsimilar ones. They had lain in thefar recess of the pigeonhole. Feelingthat he might as well know the worst,he drew out all the letters and wentthrough them. They were all in thesame writing, but the form of addressvaried. Sometimes they began "Sweet-heart," or "My Own," and once it wasJust "Dear One!"
Lampower gave vent to a groan thatwas mostly a growl. It made him sickto think of Louise losing her headover some long-haire- d chap with po-etic tendencies. He knew the fellowwho could write such rubbish mustbe the sort that a normal man wouldlike to kick. And Louise had likedthat sort of thing! That was evidentfrom the pile of letters, which, by theway, were denuded of their envelopes.Clever of her! For a pile of fold-ed sheets of paper would not look sus-
picious. Then, naturally, she did Hotexpect Lampower to prowl throughher desk.
They were rhapsodic bursts, almostImpersonal in their ravings. Only oc-
casionally was the beauty of Louise'seyes or hair mentioned. Mostly theletters were dizzy soarings in a seaof flubdub that made a man feel asthough he had been eating too manymarshmallows and had powdered sug-ar scattered over his face clear up tohis ears. And these unspeakably nau-
seating effusions had been scut tohis Louise?
What got Lampower the hardest wasthe discovery that she cared for suchstuft. He had always been proud o:
her common sense. When he hadwritten to her before they were married he had always been careful toprune his effusions and to be chary o!
unloading too much adoration on pa-
per for fear of her disliking it. Andnow she was cherishing these!
That was the most of his dismay.Lampower had a fair amount of con-
ceit, so not for a minute did he worryabout Louise's being in love with theJellyfish who had written these letters.-O-
course, It hurt him to find thathe did not fill her life as completely ashe had thought, and she had forgottenher dignity sufficiently to be fascin-
ated by these maunderings of an im-
becile.His illusions went crashing all about
his ears as he sat mechanically pilingthe letters up and then spreading themout at random. Each time his eye.;caught a phrase or sentence he almostsnorted. And yet, as he told himself,one does not snort with a brokenheart, and assuredly his heart wasnot broken!
Then, Just as white-ho- t needles of
anguish began to sear him and theblood began to rush to his face, heheard Louise come in. He got to hisfeet with the letters in his hand andstood before her. That she looked
particularly carefree and pink and
blooming was an added Insult
Lampower simply held the lettersout to her. "What are these?" he In-
quired In a repressed voice. It waaquite like a scene from a play andbe felt It
Louise behaved as he had expectedshe would when confronted by expos-ure. She made a dash toward the let-
ters."Oh!" she cried. In a tremulous
voice. "I woldn't have you see thosefor the world! They you see-th- at

tween $40,001) and $00,000 from a mill
tax levy actively with thecounty authorities.' Over 1,000 milesof road were examined, 500 miles ad-
ditional platted and construction com-
pleted or is now in progress on su-
perb roads from Silver. City to theMogollon mining district, from SantaFe to Las Vegas, from Santa Fe to
Albuquerque and from Santa Fe tothe upper Pecos, from Alamogordo to
Tularosa, from Carrizozo to Roswell,from Carlsbad to the Texas line, from
Jas Cruces to the Texas line, fromRaton to Taos. Sight has not beenlost of El Camino Real from the Colo-
rado to the Texas boundary and following the old Santa Fe trail from theColorado line to Santa Fe.
The territory maintains 20 institutions, most of them educational, andthese all had the most prosperousyear in their history. Several dedtcated splendid new buildings, butthree lost by fire large structures.
Particularly gratifying was the largenumber of modern school . houseserected not only in towns but in ruraldistricts during the past year and theattendance of eleven hundred publicschool teach rs at the summer nor-
mal institutes.Financially the territory begins the
new year with a balance exceeding$600,000 in its treasury, and morethan $1,100,000 in the twenty-si- x
county treasuries. The territorialbonded indebtedness has been reducedto less than a million dollars, whilethe county, municipal and school in-
debtedness is about three million dol-
lars. The total wealth of the territory is estimated at more than twohundred million dollars. During 1910
more than two hundred and fifty com-
panies filed incorporation papers, witha capitaliztaion of $142,000,000. Nineinsurance companies were admittedto do business.
The territory has eighty-on- e bankswith a total capitalization of $3,302,650
and resources almost $30,000,000. Theterritorial tax levy was reduced in1910 from fourteen and one-hal- f millsto eleven mills, and will be still fur-
ther reduced this year, owing to theeconomies under the republican ad-
ministration. The election for con-
stitutional delegates on September 6
last, reaffirmed the allegiance of thecommonwealth to republican partyprinciples by a majority of from 5,000votes upward in a total of 60,000
votes.With the coming of statehood, New
Mexico expects not only an IncreasedInflux of homeseekera but the invest-ment of outside capital in the devel-
opment of Its manifold resources andis confident that the census of 1920
will give it as large a population a3its neighboring state of Colorado hasthis day. Paul A. F. Walter..

mighty legal battle."We ought to apply for three or
four warrants," said the watchdog, asPaul arrived. "The same person wasout fishing again this morning, andwhen I yelled at her she run hertongue out at me!"
Paul did not catch the "her" andshe." it was the black-bearde- d ruf
fian he was thinking of. Under sum-mons, and yet fishing for more carp!There must be no letup until thedoors of the county Jail cloBed behindhim. It was for Paul to state his caseto court and spuctators. He had afeeling of trepidation as he arose, butit passed as soon as he heard his ownvoice. He didn't see the black-bearde- d
ruffian among the crowd, but ofcourse he was there.
There were men, the lawyer toldthe court, who respected the law, andthere were others who deemed them-selves superior to it This was a casewhere a man, coming from a city no-
torious for its graft and "pulls," wasdeliberately and defiantly tramplingthe law under foot He would bringforward witnesses to prove that theman had not only seen the signs of"No trespass," but had deliberatelyand defiantly "

'no trespass,' and yet this man ""What man!" asked the opposing

"The guilty party, sir," replied Paulwith all proper austerity.
"But let me explain that there isno man under summons," said hishonor. "Can you be thinkin" of an-
other case?"There was more laughter, and poor
Paul realized that something had hap-

"It's a woman!" whispered a manbehind him.
"It's a girl," whispered another."It's that staving-lookln- g girl in

that a ruffian had been trampling onthe law," said Paul, as he lookedaround in a helpless way.
"No. The summons was for MissKatherine Lacy, and she's here Incourt I haven't heard anything of aruffian."
"But but " persisted Paul, ashe saw the defendant at last and not-ed the fact that she was one of thebest looking girls he had even seen.
"My client pleads not guilty," saidthe opposing counsel. "She will admit being on the lake In a boat at va-
rious times, and of fishing for fish, butshe denies catching any. She alsodenies that she is a ruffian. If mylearned brother on the , other sidewishes to go ahead with the case "

Mr. Paul Franklin has passed hisexamination and become a member orVllt N,0t that he lntended toout and become a practicing
lawyer, but more to oblige the goodold aunt who had brought him up andBent him through college and had often said:"You will have the estate to man-ag- e
during my Hfe, and when I amgone you will have to manage It foryourself. One should be a lawyer todo these things."
Within a week after Paul had beengranted a legal right to add "Attor-ney at Law" after his name, the oldlawyer of the estate, in turning thepapers over to the young man, said:
"There Is one matter I wish to callyour particular attention to. Theestate owns Lake Placid. I stockedIt with choice fish Beveral years agoand put up many signs of "No Tres-pass." Those signs have been gen-erally respected, but last summer oneparticular person, having a camp ashort distance away, persisted in fish-ing in spite of all protests. I haveJust received word that the same per-son is back there for the summer andis fishing again. Our man therethinks an example ought to be made.He says that when he made protestthis person told him to go to grass.""A very nervy person," remarkedthe young lawyer.
"Truly so. I think you shouldwrite to the agent there to take outa warrant, make an arrest and bringthe case to trial. You can go upthere and appear for yourself and
"If I Had Known"make it your first case. The JusticeIs bound to find a verdict for you andimpose a smart fine, and that will de-
ter other campers from trespassing.""I don't want to get the reputation
of being arbitrary and mean," saidPaul.
"But people must respect the law,"put in the aunt as she came into thediscussion. "If the laws can't beenforced what will become of us?People have no more right to catchmy fish than to catch my chickens,It Is my desire, Paul, that you takeup this case. Those people who comeout from the city to camp for thesummer are a very reckless lot. Theydon't pay the slightest attention tosigns. What they need is a goodscare.
Lake Placid was three miles fromthe manor house, on another piece ofland. It was a favorite place for summer camping, and there were no restrictions except as to the fishing.It had been stocked with carp as afad of the aunt- - Word was dlspatched to the man vho acted aswatchdog, and In two or three dayssubsequently he reported that a sum-
mons had been Issued for the guiltyand defiant party, and he named thedate when the trial was to come offbefore the Justice of the peace in thevillage.
Mr. Attorney Franklin drew a men-
tal picture of a bearded ruffian witha political pull who was setting coun-
try law at defiance and denudingLake Placid of its carp in spite of all
signs and protests, and he at oncelooked up the law c trespass andmade himself familiar with It Whenhe had learned all about it, he in-
vented a plea to the Jury.Of course, the defendant would call
for one. He went out to the orchardand repeated his plea over and over
again. It was strong. It was logical.It was convincing. It wound up by
saying that if beetle-browe- d and black-bearde- d
ruffians could steal an old
lady's carp and not suffer the conse-
quences, they could also break their
way Into her house at midnight andcut her throat and still go free.
The Jury must not look at the value
of the carp, but at the principle of
the thing, and he would leave the
case in their hands, feeling that Jus-
tice would prevail in the land. The
aunt heard the plea when It had been
trimmed down . and got into shape,and she fervently exclaimed:

Do Not Hiss This Opportunity
(Copyright, 1910, hy Ansoclated LiteraryPress.)
As Damon approached, suitcase Inhand, the driver of the great carchugging restlessly by the curbbounced eagerly down from his seatand relieved the youth of his lug-gage.
"For a small town, this BUssvlllehas them all beat" ruminated theyoung cigar salesman, leaning backon the rear cushions. "BUssvllle formine, hereafter, at every opportunity.Must be a peacherlno of a hotel whenIt sends an automobile after itsguests."
In all truth, the chauffeur was es-
tablishing a speed record. Housesflashed dizzily by, and the main stemof the little burg unfolded as a dirtygray ribbon to the unsophisticatedroadster who was even then makinghis Initial visit to the trade.
'"Speed on, McDuff,'" misquotedthe commercial man, and leaned hap-
pily back to dream his omnipresentdreams.
On and on went the car at an ever-increasi-
pace, Damon's eyesopened to contemplate a picturesquebuilding Just ahead. Four storieshigh, It flared to the very sky sev-
eral gaudy gables which a color-lovin- g
owner had caused to be smearedwith all the colors of the rainbow.
"Gee!" murmured the astonishedyouth as the car slowed suddenlydown to turn in at a green-hedge- d
roadway leading to the spaciousporch that connected with the insti-
tution, "mine host must suffer froman acute attack of coloritls. This Is

the happiest looking plant I have everstopped at." The machine came toa slow stop, and the active driverjumped hastily down and opened thedoor for Damon to alight.
A fussy little person came forwardand grasped the youth's suitcase.
fou are here, I see," he bellowed ina voice that told of no lack of lungpower..
"Just so," acknowledged Damon.He eyed the man curiously. "I sup-
pose you are the proprietor. This Is
my first trip through this section."The squat, monkeylike person
stared. "I hope it will be your Jast,"he rumbled. "No, I'm not the boss,but I take his place when he's gone.I'm the general athletic instructor.Mulqueen is my name." He seizedthe soft hand of the labor ignorantdrummer and squeezed it to a beatingpulp.
Arthur Damon had come experiencewith hotels, big and little. In fact,the youth's income had allowed himto see something of life on a mostexpensive plane, and this move Inthe capacity of a cigar salesman hadnothing to do with needing themoney. There were other reasons.But in all Damon's experience an ath-
letic instructor for the guests of ahotel was unheard of. "You are awhat?" he gasped.
"An athletic instructor," roared thestrenuous voiced one. "I give ('emtheir bumbs, I do." He summed upthe broad frame and the erect shoulder-
s-back attitude of the youth be-
fore him. "You look as if you could
go some," he volunteered. "I haveset your try-ou- t for 2 o'clock."
"Me," gasped Damon. "Not me, myfriend. I have other business to at-
tend to." They were now on the in-
side of a large d office."Where is your register?" demandedthe cigar salesman.
"You don't have to register," loudlyassurpfl the athletic instructor. "Ev-
erything is O. K. We bave had yourroom reserved for you for threedays."
"Say!" preluded Damon, taking thestocky one by the rm and leadinghim toward a cushioned seat at somelittle distance away. "You and I wantto get together. There's some mis-
take here. You evidently take me forsome one else. I am Arthur Damon,a cigar salesman, and I'm In yourold burg on business and not to pulloff boxing bouts with er athleticInstructors."

"Ill prove It all right," Damon as-

the dying whirr of a suddenly-stoppe- d
motor Coxton entered theoffice.
"Mr. Coxton!" Damon arose eager-ly and strode toward the man. Thestout, middle-age- d one, with theflorid cheeks and iron-gra- y hair,turned in surprise.
"You Damon!" he ejaculated."Just so," ventured the youth, ex-
tending his hand. "Kindly assureyour er athletic instructor as tomy sanity I was kidnaped by thedriver of this sanitarium, and thisgentleman wants to keep me here."
"This is Damon, Mulqueen," camefrom the cigar magnate, crisply, "andhe Is all right but I don't under-stand this complication. Explain."
Damon speedily explained.Coxton laughed at the completion of
the tale. "Well, anyway, you're hereand unhurt," he ventured. "I
