NEWjfMEXICO HAS
J- KOAD THROUGH CLOUDS
ALBUQUERQUE, X. M., March 29
"Motoring through the clouds"
has become a popular diversion in
Xew Mexico which now has one of
the most magnificent scenic auto
mobile roadways on the continent.
The good road propaganda has spread
to every county of the new state in
the past two years with the result
that 225' miles of perfect "highway
has been" built and opened to traffic
in that time, and a thousand miles
more yV be ready for use in the
near future. Most of the work has
been done, on "El Camino Beal"
which when, finished will be over
300 miles long, traversing the "roof
of the .continent" and winding from
the north to the south boundary of
New Mexico, from Colorado to Mex
ico, with." scenic featuies-'-.of unequall
ed grandeur. This road' has been
practically completed from the Baton
pass at the Colorado line to the cap
ital, Santa Fe., reaching an altitude
of 112,000 where"' St crosses the suni
mit of the Sangre de Cristo range
of -the -Rockies, between Las Vegas
and Santa Fe.
This part of the road has been
built chiefly by convict labor. The
road is now being completed between
Santa Fe and Albuquerque, while
construction work is also being done
south. of.,-jiie latter city. North of
Albuquerque a feat of road engin
eering has;, been accomplished where
the highway, by a. series of switchbacks-
scales La Bajada hill, a thou
sand foot lava cliff, over which a
six horse st.age was dashed in an
Indian raid in the days of the old
Santa Fe trail, which had an im
portant stage, station here.
LAND MEN LAUNCH
' NEW ASSOCIATION
CHICAGO, Illinois, April 1. With
the p'urpose ' of creating a closer co
operation among land men and with
the object of carrying out several
broad-'guage ideas which contemplate
a further encouragement of farm de
velopment with' organized protection
for farm land purchasers, the Na
tional Association of Land Men has
been organized' here and its ofiiciels
are to ' extend their campaign for
support to land men throughout the
entire country.
James Porter, Reinbeck, la., has
been cbbsenoxnrsident of the new
association, anil the other officers, in
clude D. H. Anderson, proprietor or
Irrigation Age, Chicago; D. J. Splane,
A. B. Hulit and S. B. Pugh. The
directors, including the officers, are

retary bureau of immigration, Albu
querque, X. M. -
In its papp.rs. of 'incorporation the
association sets forth that it has six
initial purposes- in view. First of
these is the procuring fhrough the
organization of s,the -support of tne
press of the country' and of public
men in giving publicity to the ad
vantages, of '.rf arming. -,i.n' general. The
organization also is to advocate the
idea of having the government,
through the..pure .food, bureau of the
Department of Agriculture, assume
charge of .the .inspection and marking.
of all fruits .and vegetables which
are intended for commercial pur
poses, the,,objeet. of this inspection
being to -prevent , alleged, dishonesty
in re-marking or regrading products
from the various states.
The association .will seek through.
state legislatures to have enacted: a
statute requiring all real estate deal
ers to prpcure state license oefore
they ean transact business, with a
provision in the law that if any oper
ator having such a license is found
guilty at any time of fraudulent
real estate transactions lis license
shall be Tevok'ed and the privilege
of' procuring another denied.
Of importance to the land seeker
will be a, bureau which the organiza
tion purposes to establish to receive
complaints- against alleged dishonest
companies or individuals. These com
plains will be investigated by the
corporation, through its members,
and will be approved or disapproved
by the association as a whole, the
decision to be made public. The or
ganization is also to co-operate with
other associations toward promoting
various farm produce expositions and
will also establish such expositions
where needed out of its own funds.
LOXDOX, England, April 1. Ar

CDNTRlfiuT HI ASKED
FOR WORTHY US
(From Sundays Daily.)
While every possible phase of edu-
cational work has been given success
ful aid in some place by some wom
an's club the work which seems to
appeal strongly to all club women 11
that of providing scholarships for
worthy girls, thereby enabling many
o poor girl to become an independent
member of her community.
Nearly- 700 clubs In the United
States make a scholarship appropri
ation a definite feature of each year's
yrbrk. Almost every state 'in ' the
Union nas a' 'scholarship fund estan
lished by the women's clubs, these
scholarships are as varied as the dif
ferent " states. Florida fia'i a kinder
garten ' scholarship, while Pennsylvan
ia has one of household econcmics.
The Utah federation maintains two
scholarships in each of the following
schools: The University of Utah, the
Utah Agricultural College and thi
Branch Normal of the University of
Utah, and has an educational loan.
fund.
Many of the states have a Normal
School scholarship, while others have
a scholarship loan fund. Colorado has
one of the latter of over $10,000.
New York has a large endowment
fund, started within gift of $10,000
from Mrs. Bussell Sage. The income
from this fund is used to provide a
scholarship for girls in an American
college.
Bealizing the inestimable value of
these scholarships, as operated in
other estates, and knowing the need
of such in Arizona, the President of
the Arizona Federation of Woman's
clubs, Mrs. S. C. Newsom, of Tucson,
at the convention, which met here
last January urged that the women
establish a permanent fund for this
purpose. In speaking of the practical
benefit to be derived from such a
fund Mrs. Newsom spoke of many
worthy girls known to -her as deserv
ing and needing just such assistance
as this fund' could provide and men-
METAL PAVEMENT
SUGGESTED IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, April 1. Confront
ed with an annual street repair bill
of nearly $15,000,000. New York may
shortly become the first city in the
world to bo paved with metal, if
plans now under consideration bear
fruit. While the streets will not be
of gold, even in the Wall Street sec
tion, it is expected that they soon
will consist of material never before
used for this purpose. Bevolutionary
as the proposal to replace the present
pavements with metal may seem, it
is a matter which Father Knicker
bocker must face seriously, since the
city today finds itself without an
adequate paving surface to meet its
needs. As a result it is estimated
that $10,000,000 is needed to put the
streets of Manhattan borough alone
into proper condition, an amount
which not even the most liberal bud
get could provide for a single year,
let alone annually. At present the
sum of $3,000,000 is appropriated for
street repairs for all five borough.
Large as the sum is it is totally in
adequate and the inability of the
city to keep its thoroughfares in
order for th.is..amount has brought
.the conviction ' th'at sdrhe new1 'form
of pavement .js necqjsary.T.he traf
fic of he city has increased to an
extent undreamed of even" ten years
ago, chiefly because of 1 the auto
mobile. In many of the most con
gested spots vehicles now pass a
given point at the rate of four a
second or 240 a minute. The wear on
the streets has been further increased
by the presence of enormous trucks,
so that altogether, as is proven by
the present condition of the streets,
even Fifth Avenue itself, the equip
ment is far below the traffic needs.
The widening of various streets has
served merely to acceutuate this
point, and the continual repairs which
are necessary further emphasize the
need of some more durable paving
surface. As metal seems to be the
only material to meet the require
ments it seems probable that New
York will soon have to adopt for the
first time in the world this class of
pavement.
LOCATES HOMESTEAD.
(From Friday's Daily.)
Among the applications filed yes
terday before U. S. Commissioner
Moore under the homestead laws,
was that of Mrs.- Mary E. Chalmers,
for 160 acres of land at the Point of
Rocks, adjoining on the west the
Wynkeep ranch. She will begin the
improving of the property at once.
tioned specifically two young women
who were endeavoring to earn their
way through one of the Territorial
educational institutions, but needing
a little ready money they would in
all probability be unable to remain
at the institution through the year.
The immediate needs of these de
serving young women was - promptly
met not only by generous contribu
tions from some members- of the con
vention, but Prescott women, not
members of the' convention, also re
sponded nobly .to the call.
As the Women's clubs of Arizona
arc loyal and active supporters of
education the delegates to that con
vention pleaded support to' a perman
ent scholarship fund. These scholar
ships will be given in the University
of Arizona and the Normal schools
of Flagstaff and Tempe.
While the Federation of AVomen's
clubs has undertaken the work of as-
Jtablishing this fund which is to be
known as the "Girls' Scholarship
Fund of the Arizona Federation of
Women's Clubs," it is not intended
to be exclusively the work of club
members but rather a work by wom
en and for women. As an organiza
tion the Federation can hold this as
a gift from the women of Arizona to
the girls of Arizona. It is earnestly
hoped that every woman and girl
within the Territory will consider it
a privilege to be able to render active
assistance in this noble work and any
contribution will be neither too large
or too small to be accepted for this
fund. All- contributions should be
sent to Mrs. Dixon Fagerberg, Pres
cott, who has charge of this fund.

ELEANOR PLACER
COMMENCES DREDGING
(From Wednesday's Daily)
Active work in dredging by the
Eleanor Placer Mining company on
French Gulch has been inaugurated,
and it is expected that operations
will be conducted on a permanent
basis. Joseph Mackin, general man
ager, while in the city yesterday,
made an' interesting report of the
purposes for which the- large plant
was installed, and stated that the
main difficulty which has been a
lack of water to float the boat, has
been overcome. The trying out of
the large and intricate mechanical
equipment has been solved, and it is
his belief that the enterprise wjll
proeeed without encountering any
further obstacles. For the present
the surface soil is ' being stripped,
and while values are necessarily nom
inal, from previous tests made in the
bedrock zone, it is his belief the
project faees a good future. 1 The
interests of this company cover a
wide range of territory,- and an un
limited dredging area is available.
The dam hag a surfaee area of 80
feet in width; -2 feet high and the
lake extends up stream over half a
mile. This capacity could be. jn:
creased if desired to cover a length
of nearly two miles, or up to the
camp of 'the' ' Mines" Development'
company. Beginning on the 'first' of
April two shifts will be placed at
work, and. dredging will be con
ducted permanently.
YAVAPAI LANDS ABE

FAMOUS MIL CHER
DEPARTS FBOM LIMELIGHT
("From Thursday's Daily.)
In superintending the cremation of
the carcass of the cow that died in
south Prescott a few days ago Dr.
J. W. Flinn, "health officer, closed
yesterday the last chapter in the
history of- the famous "strawberry
roan" milcher the ownership of which
has been disputed through the Pres
cott justice and district courts and
supreme court of the Territory. .The
history of the bovine which camo
into the limelight following its purchase
by William Poland for a consignment
of wood from M. C. Fitzmauriee is
familiar to many residents. During
the years that her ownership was
being disputed on appeal in the dis
trict and supreme court she led an
'industrious and upright career. She
was absolutely opposed to "race sui
cide" and in her pursuit of happiness

several times. Her former Owner,
Mr. Fitzmauriee, died -while the case
was still pending before the supreme
court which, by the way, did not
render any opinion as to the owner' -
ship of her descendants, although tlic
costs of the suits and appeals amount
ed to nearly $700. Following the
final settlement of the case, it is said,
