SHEEP AND WOOL

An Address by Governor wkd Points Out tne Importance of the Sheep and

Following are a few paragraphstaken from Governor Hagerman'sinteresting address before the firstannual convention of the sheepand wool growers of New Mexicoheld in

4 The sheep and wool industryis now and is sure to continue tobe for many years, the greatestand most important industry inthis territory. On the first day ofJanuary, 1906, the United Statesgovernment reports showed thatNew Mexico had almost four mill-ion head of sheep within her bor-ders. Estimating their value con-servatively they are worth fourteenmillion dollars.

"This year's wool crop in NewMexico will aggregate eighteenmillion pounds, which at an aver-age value of eighteen cents perpound, will be worth three mill-ion two humdred and forty thous-and dollars. It is estimated' thatone million lambs will be shipped

2Ll" averaf?e Pice of

ion seven hundred thousand dol-

lars, making a total income to theterritory from the interests repre-

sented by this convention, of fivemillion nine hundred and fortythousand dollars.

"Today is a period of organiza-tion, and it is absolutely necessaryfor the producers of wool and mut-

ton to organize in order to not onto protect their interests from

such organizations as the beeftrust, the commission houses andthe wool buyers, but to secureneeded changes in forest reserveregulations, transportation facilities, commission charges and other matters. 1 hese and many other things you will doubtless thoroughly discuss during the courseof this convention, and there areonly one or two matters that I

would venture to call to your particular attention, as in my opinionof unusual importance.

"One of them is of the proposed law now before the congress ofof the United States providing forthe control of grazing on the pub-

lic lands of the United States. Itis a question of vast importanceto all the stockmen of this'countryand one which has been thoroughly studied by men who are emin-- 1

ently qualified by training and ex-

perience to pass upon it. Thepresident favors such a law and'

from information, the accuracy ofwhich cannot be doubted, it seemsthat some such measures, eitherthe one now before congress orsome other one will be passed inthe near future. That such ameasure is advisable under condi-tions that now prevail, for thepreservation of range grasses andfor the future of the cattle andsheep interests of the country,seems to be the opinion of themen who have made an investiga-tion of the subject and have particular charge of the measure atthe national capital.

Several other issues of greatimportance to the sheep growersof New Mexico and of all thecountry are very closely associatedwith policies of the national government. One Of thesfi is (nrnctreserve policy. A great changehas come about in the sentimentof the people of New Mexico inthis matter. It was feared at firstthat the settling of large nreas offvHft.OUlllic..domain for the oreser- -

tive marketing of the grown tim-

ber, would result unfavorably tothe territory. That such fears aregroundless is now generally con-

ceded by nearly all thinking men.This is especially true of .thosesheep growers who have one ortwo year's experience in grazingtheir flocks on the reserves. Theyfind that the payment of a moder-

ate fee is not'a hardship, but rath-

er, under the liberal rules andregulations of the bureau of for-

estry, that it is an advantage rath-

er than a detriment to their business. 1 he government is morethan willing to receive suggestionsfrom people here and from organizations such as this. It youthink that in particular cases, thegrazing fee is too high, or thatchanges should be made in any ofthe regulations, I feel sure thebureau of forestry will not resentbut will welcome any reasonablesuggestions you may have to makeThe liberal policy of the federalgovernment in regard to forest reserves is shown by the passage oftwo measures during the past yearOne throws open the reserves, undcr reasonable restrictions, to agricultural entry, lhe other provides lor the payment ot ten percent of the total income of the reserves to the counties in whichthey are situated."

Summer Accidents. ,If it were possible to make a com-

plete list of all tho casualties of n

whole vacation season say from the1st of July to the 1st of October theshowing would be so alarming as to

shock careful parents and to call intoexistence a host of reform societies.Tho fact that summer accidents are re-

ported as they occur, singly and inwidely separated places, accounts inlarge measure for the slight and transi-tory impression they make on the pub-

lic mind. Tho old meaning of theword accident, as something that "Justhappens," and could not have beenprevented, still clings to It. Most ofthose who read these words may holdthat view of It, and some of them arealmost ceretaln to find out by experi-

ence, before the summer Is over, wheth-

er or not it is true. The purpose of

this article Is to change their minds.Accidents do not "just happen," nor Isanyone Justified In calling them "dis-pensations of Providence,' ' plannedand foreordained by the Creator forsome good but lnscrutible purpose,says the Youth's Companion. Acci-

dents are due to definite, material andusually preventable causes. The Cre-

ator does not deliberately decree thata certain canoe .shall glide but fromunder a certain man and drown him,but He does establish Immutable lawswhich the canoe obeys, and which thecanoeist also must obey, If ho wouldlive. On sea, on land, In yacht, auto-

mobile, mountain camp, or on foot,the Inimitable laws hold good. Thosewho observe them go free, those whodisobey are punished. The need forcare, for caution, for common sense Is

more urgent In the summer than atother times only because It Is thenthat a larger number of persons areengaged, for purposes of recreation,in doing things which are new to them,the laws of which they have notlearned. Study the rules of the game,then obey them.

Was It Vandalism?Tho Pennsylvanlan who blew up

the "painted rock," an old Indian alta-

r-stone near Illllsboro, will receivea good deal of sympathy In his van-

dalism. The dynamiter submits sim-

ply that his farm, on which the relicstood, was being ruined by sight-seers, and tho only method of

was the utter annihilationof this center of attraction. As a mat-

ter of fact, there was another alterna-tive, putting up a fence and chargingadmission, but this he evidently putbehind him. Undoubtedly the pro-

verbial happiness of tho people whohave no history consists largely intheir freedom from tho Intrusion ofpilgrims. Poets' cottages and bullet-riddle- d

homesteads are beautifulthings to perpetuate, buC mightily un-

comfortable to live In. Those stead-fast qualities of mind and heart whichcharacterize Massachusetts, says theNew York Post, are due, we are sure,no more to tho constant presence ofunseen peril hinted at by the "Privateway, dangerous passing" signs, than tothe infliction of living in housesbearing tablets beginning, "Here died

," or "On this spot ."

who cared less lor convent lonailtk'S than doesMr. Roosevelt. Whore those conventionalitiesmean national dignity or have any particulardiplomatic significance Mr. Roosevelt wants to

have them observed, but he is not a stickler forform and in his private life in tho White Housegoes a good deal on the plan of a genuine

American homebody. Willi some presi-dents an invitation to take dinner at. the WhiteHouso took tho form or a command much aswnnlil uIm.II,.. vltnll.iti MHO (if t 111!

declining it unless prevented by sickness or someprovidential interference.

Mr. Roosevelt's Invitations to dinner havobeen sometimes declined, but only such as havobeen extended In a generous sort of "come and

take pot luck with us" way. Not long ago one of his old ranch comrades fromMontana called at tho White House and tho president asked him to take din-ner with him that night. Tho old cattleman declined on the ground that hohad no evening s and In fact had never worn that sort of togs. Mr.Roosevelt pressed him, but ho was firm in his resolve that ho would not sitdown among lot of other folks without being dressed as they were.

There have been others who have declined tho president'sInformal Invitations and their excuses havo been Just as rood naturallyaccepted. On one occasion Speaker Cannon had an engagement to dine at acabinet dinner whero the president was the guest of honor and he beggedoff in order to attend a gridiron dinner. Tho matter was compromised by apostponement of tho cabinet dinner. It does not constitute lese majeste todecline an informal Invitation to the White House dinners.

A PRECEDENT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY,Secretary of State Root Is now on a mission

that promises to be of great Importance to theUnited States and to all tho Republicans on thewestern hemisphere. It Is a great departure fromlong established custom for a cabinet ofllcer tovlBlt neighboring countries and discuss with theiradministration international affairs, but the pres-ent administration at Washington cares very lit-tle about precedents bo long as tho thing con-templated to bo done is for the good of thocountry.

Mr. Root Is a man of practical Ideas andsince he became tho premier of tho administra-tion ho has been looking into tho matter of ex-tending United States trade to tho countries totho south of us. He has been Impressed with theIdea that there is a big market m Central andSouth America that Is in danger of being nionop.uu7eu uy loreign countries and which naturallyought to belong to the merchants and manufacturers of this countrv.

SUITABLE LEGATION AND EMBASSY BUILDINGS.Now that tho United States government has

made a start In the direction of erecting suitablelegatlou and embassy buildings for our represen-tatives abroad It Is hoped that before many yearsthe United States Hag will lly over property thatthis government owns In every prominent capitalabroad. Tho fact that American ambassadors andministers havo had to rent their qunrterH abroadhas been a disgrace to the United States diplo-matl-

service.Tho oxperlenco in Poking during tho Roxor

troubles in 1000 made it Imperative that thisorect Its own legation building In thatcity Micro a proper guard could be placed. A

handsome ministerial residence and guardhousehave been prcivldod there and now that tho prece-dent Is established, congress will bo appealed toas It was In this last session when an appropriation wus iimuo ior mo purcnase of 'an ambassa-

dorial residence in Constantinople. Minister John G. A. Welshman, who hasbeen In Constantinople for a number of years, spent his leave of absence InWashington, and through Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Secretary Roothad llttlo difficulty in persuading congress that tho diplomatic post at Con!stantlnoplo should bo made an embassy and that a suitable residence shouldbo purchased for the ambassador.

The rentals that our ambassadors at London. Paris, Horlln and otherEuropean capitals pay for their quarters is far in excess of the salaries theUnited States gives them. It is possible only for men of great wealth to (111

these positions unless congress makes provision for their olllelal homes andfor tho entertaining they are compelled to do in order that tho United Statesmay not suffer In dignity In comparison with other governments.

DIDN'T BELIEVE

That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.

Some people llounder around andtake every tiling that's recommendedbut finally find that coffee is tho reaicause of their troubles. An Oregouman says:

"For 25 years I was troubled withmy stomach. I was a steady coffeedrinker, but didn't suspect that asthe cause. I took almost anythingwhich .someone else had been curedwith but to no good. I was very badlast sunnner and could not work attimes.

"On Dec. 2, 1902, I waa taken sobad the doctor said I could not liveover 21 hours at tho most, and Imade all preparations to die. I couldhardly eat anything, everything dis-tressed me. and I was weak and sickall over. When In that condition cof-fee was abandoned and I was put onPostum, the change in my feelingscsnie qulclvly after tho drink that waspoisoning me was removed.

"Tho pain and sickness fell awayfrom mo and I began to got well dayby dny, so I stuck to It until now Iam well and strong again, can catheartily, with no headache, hearttrouble or tho awful sickness of thoold coffee days. I drink all I wish ofPostum without any harm and enjoyit immensely.

"This seems llko a strong story,but I would refer you to tho FirstNat'l Rank, the Trust Ranking Com-pany, or any merchant nf r.rnnt'uPass, Ore., in regard to my standing,

u i win send a sworn statementof this if you wish. You can also usomy name." Name given by PostumCo., llattlo Creek, Mich.

Still thorn aro many who persist-ently fool themselves by saying "Cof-fee don't hurt mo." A ten days' trialof Postum in its placo will toll thetruth and many times save life."There's a reason."

BUILD STEEL CARS

IMPORTANT ADVANCE MADE BYTHE HA31BIMAN LINES.

All Passenger and Freight Equipmentin the Near Future, Will Be

of This ConstructionEconomy in Plan3.

The management of the Harrlmanlines, after experiment extendingthrough a long period, have adoptedsteel for the construction of all pas-senger equipment, of all liox cars andof other cars which will permit of suchconstruction.

With a view to trying out the planawhich have heon made for passengorcoaches, for mall cars and for freightcars, the llnrrlman lines are havingconstructed in the Sacramento shopsunder the supervision of JuliusKruttchnltt. director of operation andmaintenance, a model car of each kind,with a view to ascertaining whetherthe plans for the construction are thenest, and will work out as the manage-ment believes they will. When theplans are proved by the constructionof the model cars, these plans will boadopted as standard, and the Harrl-man lines will then build all their carswith steel frames.

In the case of the freight cars, orbox cars, the company is constructingthem almost entirely of steel, the floorsbiing of this material.

The action of the Ilarrlinnn linesmanagement In adopting steel so thor-oughly and completely for equipmentIs of more importance than appears attlrst glance. Some years ago the com-pany began building steel underfratnesin freight equipment, which reducedthe weight of a box car from about44.000 pounds to 41.000 pounds. Steelconstruction throughout will furtherreduce the weight of the car between3,000 and 4,000 pounds. In a train ofGO freight cars this would mean a sav-ing of between 75 and 100 tons, or thatamount added to the- - possible trainload. This Increase In train-loa- d pos-sibilities, together with the indestruc-tibility of the cars, the cheapness oftheir repair and of tho maintenance,which Is fully fiO per cent, over thewooden car3, means a tremendous to-

tal saving to the Harrlman llnps.Still another saving that will bo ef-

fected by the use of steel is in thoway of lessened loss and damage fromwrecks. The loss of property is verymuch less, as are tho casualties, whomcars of entirely steel frames are used.In the latter cars the combustible ma-

terial Is reduced to a minimum, nndfires would rarely follow wrecks. Witha view to showing the possibilities inwrecks, tho management had photo-graphs taken of steel cars which werebent and twisted so that they lookedutterly worthless. Photographs of theBamo cars were taken after an expen-diture of $200 upon t'v.m, showingthem practically as good as new.

Remarkable Railway.An uphill railway, perhaps the most

setnarkable in tho world, Is tho Oroyo,In Peru. It runs from Callao to thogold fields of Cerro de Pasco. FromCallao it ascends the narrow valley ofthe Rlmac, rising learly 5,000 feet intho first GO miles. Thence it goesthrough tho intricate gorges of theSierras till it tunnels tho Andes at nnaltitude of 15.C4G feet, tho highestpoint in tho world where a piston roadIs moved by steam. Tho wonder isIncreased by remembering that thiselevation Is reached in 78 miles.

Heavier Locomotives.Tho steady tendency among rail-road- a

toward heavior loconiotivos iscomprohonBlvoly shown in tho statis-tics of tho first 300 locomotives pur-chased by a western railroad 30 yearsago and tho 300 most recently addedto the equipment. Tho smallest of tholatter Ib over 35 por cent heavior thantho largest of tho earlier period, and,taken as a whole, tho weight has boonmultiplied three times and tho tractive.force by two and a half.

WEIGHS ONLY FOUR GRAINS

Smallest Engine in the World Truly aMarvel of Mechanical Ingenu-

ity Its Dimensions.

'"Tiny Tim,' as I havo named thissmallest of all engines," writos T. H.llobinson in tho Technical WorldMagazine, "is made of gold and steel,and is so small that a common house-fly seunjs large In comparison, it fitseasily into tho smallest '22 short cart-ridge, balanco wheel nnd all. Itweighs just four grains complete.1 hat is about tho weight of a com-mon match. It takes 120 such en-

gines to weigh one ounce and 1,020 toweigh a pound. Three million eighthundred and forty thousand engineuequal one ton.

"The engine bod and stand are orgold. The shaft runs in hardenedand ground steel bearings Inserted Inthe gold bod. These tourings arecounter-bore- d from the inside to forma se.f-oilin- bearing. Tho flywheelhas a steel center anil arms, with agold rim. and this part the omplotewheel weighs one grain.

"The cylinder la of stool with oc-

struction of this engine."Tho feed is through tho gold base,

which is hollow. The spue.! of thisengine is C.000 revolutions per min-ute. When running 100 per second nomotion is visible to the eye. but itmakes a note like the noise of a mos-quito, caused by tha vibrating piitonrod.

Tho horse power is of one-hors-

power. Compressed air is usclto run the.o engines and It may bo olInterest to note that the amount re-

quired to make the largo engine humcan easily be borne on tho eyeballwithout winking."

ERROR IN BILL OF LADING

Young Railroad Man Found BurroWhere He Naturally Looked

for a Bureau.

There was a tlmr when SenatorElkins of West Virginia was a hustlingyoung freight agent in Now Mexico.His .dllco was a box car and his prin-cipal troubles were In making ills re-

ceipts of freignt tally with his billsof lading. One day ho hud a carloadof household furniture switched to hissiding. Tho seal of the ear duor wasquickly broken, as young Elkins then,as now, always liked to keep up withhis work. Ho was greeted with thebray ot an ass as tho door slippedback on its rollers. Tho bill of ladingwas at once sennned, but there wasnothing to show that tho animalshould be a passenger on this partic-ular car. Tho good's were all shockedout and then Elkins wired the generalofllco thus: "I'm a bureau short anda jackass long on this carload of fur-

niture." After a little delay the an-

swer came: "All O. K. The bureau isa burro."

New Danger Signal.Danger! An electrical system of sig-

naling has been perfected In Notting-ham, England, whereby a gong soundson tho engine and an Immense bull'seye In the cab glares with grcn or roillight in the driver's face. Beyond thospot where nt present 'jo distant sig-nal is located on tho railways, tho in-

vention proposes that a central rail 100yards long should bo laid with a sec-ond and much larger central rail neartho present houso signal. Connectedwith tho signal box, tho pressure of aroller beneath tho englno on these cen-

tral rails would not only ring a belland cause a lamp, corresponding withtho trnck upon which tho train hasbeen running, to glow In tho signalbox, but bells would ring or rod orgreen lamps glow on tho engine itself,tho color of tho lamp depending uponwhich rail the signalman had connect-ed with a negative.
