STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO" We favor the Immediate admission of the territories of New Mexico and Arlsoaa an separate states In the Union. Republican National Platform. QnetAer ISood Sign The Topeka Ptate Journal In Its Issue of Friday contains an optimistic yet conservative editorial on the railroad and crop situation, which Is un Joubted!y quite correct In every way. , The Journal is of the opinion that the moving of the crops will cause a -quick revival In trade conditions generally, provide employment for many men and make the railroads hustle to provide adequate car service. The editorial is well worth reading because it Is right in line with a num. her of others, published In various parts of the country, all of which Indi cates a very busy season this fall for every one. The Journal says: -James J. Hill's assertion that "there will be more grain of all kinds throughout the northwest and the west, as conditions stands today, than there was last year," Is a cheering note that harmonizes with statements of other men who are In a position to get a broad view of conditions which prophesy Improved business conditions In the near future. It is too early, of course, to feel sure as to all bf the results of the harvest throughout the country. In .agriculture as In every other line of enterprise "there is many a slip between the cup and lip?" but the outlook is very good, and there Is every reason for cratulation notwithstanding the small chances which still 4exlst for a reversal of conditions. Mr. Hill's view coincides with the expectations of Chairman Knapp of the Interstate commerce commission, who declared recently that another car shortage is not Improbable within a few months. He says his advices from railroad men generally are to the effect that business Is gradually Improving and the number of Idle cars and locomotives Is steadily decreasing. The handling of the crops is a work of the near future, although It has already fceen begun In a small way. But when It la on In full blast still more rail road rolling stock will be called Into service, until every wheel Is 'a motion, and things so far as railroad activity Is concerned will be where they were before the pause set In last fall. As to the effect of this spurt, Mr. Knapp Is optimistic. He says that the rush of business will find much railroad equipment below the standard, and that efforts to put things In proper condition will mean work for many hands now Idle. Then, after the heaviest part of the rush Is over, it will develop that during the period of Idleness the railroads have been getting along with the least possible expenditure for maintenance and repair of trackage and there will have to be a catching up in every department to meet the demands of reviving trade. The inspiring effects of a revival of this kind would be -widespread and highly beneficial, and It therefore is to be hoped that Mr. Hill's expectations will be realized and Mr. Knapp's predictions fulfilled, al though much Inconvenience generally attends a shortage of rolling stock. .The shipper will not be easily Irritated, however. If business picks up as II seems bound to. O nation's Qpple tfrees In an accounting just published and said to cover the last day of last June the number of apple trees In the United States is placed at 201,794,(42, says the New York World. Missouri leads the list of states and territories with 20,040,399 trees, while New Tork Is second with 1S,0S4,8SI. It happens that these, except In the case of New York, are the figures given in the census report for 1900. In the ten years beginning with 1890 the increase in the number of apple trees In the country was over 80,000,000. Eight years of another decade have now passed. That the count remains unchanged since that tremendous gain of 1890-99 must be regarded as some what amazing If It is a fact. However, a mere reckoning of trees la misleading as a means of compar ing states' shares In the apple-raising Industry. New York's orchards pro duced over 24,000.000 bushels In 1899, Pennsylvania was a close second and Ohio was third with more than 20,000,000 bushels. Missouri's nearly 6.500,. 000 bushels placed her ninth on the list. The average yield in New York, according to a state fruit growers' association report of 1902, Is about three and one-half bushels per tree, which ought for 15,000,000 trees to bring up a total of over 52,000,000 bushels. There Is quality also to be considered. Missouri offers the tasteless Ben Davis apple, which finds ready and heavy sale even on the Atlantic seaboard because of Its coloring. Western New York produces the Northern Spy in its hhest quality, and the Northern Spy Is undoubtedly the best all-around apple ever wet by the rain and warmed by the sun. It la pleasant to reflect that on a per-caplta basis of division, when ex treme Socialism comes Into its own, each of us In America may have to him elf at least two trees from which only the uncivilized will steal the apples.

Will you vote against your own dearest in terests? We think not; we give you credit for having more good, common horse sense than that. W. H. Andrews is the man Bernalillo county wants for delegate to Con gress. Indications are that a big majority of the Republicans In this terri tory feel the same way. He will be nominated and elected against the field. When the race of 1908 for the presidency has been run Hlsgen and Graves, the candidates of the Independence party, will be among the alxo rans, of which there will be quite a more or lean distinguished company. There appears to be the right sort of justice in the decision of the inter state commerce commission to the effect that small shippers may Join ship ments and get the same rates as are accorded to the large shippers. There Is one thing about the Snn Marcial Standard which Is to its credit. It doesn't hesitate to say where It stands on the delegate question. Of course U l for W. H. Andrews. With a ntirmul Republican vote from this county the election of a Re publican deli-gate to Congress is ust-ured. W. H. Andrews can get that vote at any time. Over fifty papers in New Mexico are supporting Mr. Andrews for dele gate to Congress. That seems to show pretty conclusively where public senti merit is. That down pour of rain the other day ought to remind the city adminis tration that a sewer system has been mentioned heretofore. The C!-story building which is projected In New York will probably serve as a hitching post for aerial navigators. Omaha lice. Deming Oraphie: The Alhu.iuei u,ue Journal te.iys Andrews can't be elected. That's one reason we believe he can. Larrazido is t'o picturesque a character for us to lose. Therefore we must not send him to Washington. At least three Texas prophets say the world will end In 1911. Well there's three years yet anyhow. j AROUND NEW MEXICO Andrews and statehood will be the Issue in the coming election. The campaign lie Is already going the rounds. It is reported that the Santa Fe will soon build a modern hospital at Belen, to care for Its injured and ail .ng employes on the cutoff. Amistad is excited over the pros pect for a railroad, which it Is pro posed to build from some point In Texas to the Dawson coal fields. Union county has an average of 26 Inches of rainfall every year and prides itself on being a healthy place. That combination ought to fill the county with settlers. The postofftce at Centervllle, a new town nine miles south of Amistad supplies mail for seventy families, wnich is a good showing for a town in existence only a short time. R. R. Larkin, superintendent of Las Vegas city schools, has been appoint ed director for New Mexico by the National Educational association, which recently convened at Cleveland. A negro porter has been arrested at Roswell on the charge of stealing a package from the express oar of the train on which he worked. The pack age contained about $80 In drafts and vouchers. A farmer near Clovls has a field of sixteen acres In string beans, from which he is gathering 1,000 pounds a day, which readily sella at 8 2-3 cents per pound. The crop commenced to bear July 1. The first car lot of fruit sent out this season from the Pecos valley was shipped from Roswell to Chicago last week. The shipment consisted exclus ively of pears of the Margaret end Clapp's Favorite variety. Judge William H. Pope of Roswell has rendered an opinion under which a rarmer can recover damages from owners of cattle for depredations up on growing crops, whether he has any fence around his crop or not. Ten carload" of materials to be used In the construction of the big reservoir, dam and canals of the San. ta Fe Irrigation and Improvement company, have arrived at Santa Fe and are being hauled to the damslte. The company, proposes to Irrigate a large tract ori the Sebastlan-de-Var-gns grant, six miles from the Capital City. A' Roswell man Is In Quebec and attending the festivities there in which the Prince of Wales figures prominently. He writes to friends In Roswell that he has Invited the prince to visit Roswell, and thinks he may do It If he gets time. While the prince may not locate In the Pecos valley an effort will be made to sell him some land, which will be quite a boost for the valley. Professor Edgar L. Hewett will be gin' excavations In Pajarito park next month and a large communal building near the Stone Lions of Co chltl will be given the most attention. It Is expected that some rare and valuable finds will result and they are to form the nucleus of a perman ent museum of archaeology, which Is to be established at Santa Fe by the Archaeological society. Fltzhugh and Fitzhugh, of Clovls. are establishing a new town. Gregg and Noble of Portales have Just fin ished the survey. The town Is located on the Pecos Valley railroad, about eighteen miles south of Portales and eight miles north of Ellda, but as yet the founders have not selected a name for It. They have arranged for sink ing a public well and have set aside a square surrounding it. They have offered ten free business lots to those who would build business houses on them, and five have been taken. The railroad company has promised to es tablish a depot there as soon as the population and bulness of the town will Justify It. The country around Is said to be fertile and well settled. DIREGTOIRE CRAZE REACHES ALBUQUERQUE An Albuquerque young woman, who has been spending several weeks past In the east, has returned to her home here. According to the young wo man, the dlrectoire gown craze had seized the easterners and In an in. terview with a Citizen reporter this morning, she gave the following ac count of her experience In front of one of the large clothing establish ments of the east where the sheath gown was making Its first appearance. " 'Oh, gee whiz, Mike look who's here! Now what do you know about that? exclaimed little newsboy No, ; 1 as he clutched his sturdy companion! roughly by the sleeve. " "Aw, come on, what do you care? It's nothln' but one of them there new skinny dresses. Come on, I gay.' " 'Oh, don't be in such a rush. I'm goin' to Bee,' and he stopped in front of the large display windows. His companion gazed disgustedly around the street, afraid that some of his boon companions might happen along and catch him doing anything so 'sissy' as to display an interest In the latest feminine craze. Number 1 wedged his way through the crowd, closer to the window and continued to gaze. ' Mike, I think them's swell, but ain't It a shame it's ripped away up like that?' " 'Huh that shows all you know about it. That's the way It's meant to be.' was the disdainful reply. 'I'm goln' now. Comln'?' The young woman then proceeded to give a brief description of the gown which seemed to appeal the strong est to the onlookers. "Three waxen models, each in a stunning silk dlrectoire gown," she said, "were gazing stupidly at the ad miring crowd gathered about the win.' dow. Perhaps the gown which ex cited the most comment wus a hand some champagne silk creation, snug fitting and displaying the empire model In the extreme. The skirt was draped closely about the figure with perhaps Just a hint at the new Paquln design, and fastened above the waist line, slightly at the left, with a huge silken rosette. The front panel, fast ened down the left with large navy blue velvet buttons, was left open from a short distance above the knee, displaying brilliant blue silk tights and French heeled slippers of the same hue. "Feeble old men, society buds and gray haired matrons, alike crowded about the window, some displaying admiration and others disgust. One stylishly dressed young man, accom panied by an equally stunning young lady, approached the window and paused for an instant. 'For shame,' lie exclaimed and grasping her rudely by the arm hurtled her away. "Oh, isn't that perfectly charming? I mean to have a new pink silk made just exactly like that one for the cnarity ball next month,' exclaimed a handsome young l.uly, attired in the height of fashion. " 'Why Nell, you wouldn't wear anything like that would you?" gusp. ed her modest companion, afraid to even look the model squarely In the eye. "'Well, I surely would. Why not? I think they're darling. And besides they're the style aren't they?' "Two white haired, fine appearing old men, absently swinging their canes were the next to approach. For several minutes they paused, gazing In open admiration at the faultless mod els. 'I'm sure I would never object to anything like that,' exclaimed the elder of the two, us they moved re grettingly onward with a backward glance at the figures In the window." "They were certainly handsome gowns," said the Albuquerque girl, "considering, and I don't think they are a bit worse than a good many we see at an afternoon reception or an evening theater party. To be strict ly honest I wouldn't mind having one myself." THE CJOVEIINOR'S DAUGHTER. By Harold Carter. The governor, florid, stout and apoplectic, sat gorging himself Inside, the sheriff's house. Five and twen ty yards away the convicts waited In their stockade for his inspection. The great boiler, containing melted tur pentine, bubbled and hummed and from the vistas of pine trees on every side carts emerged, drawn by mules and driven by trusties. As Uie sheriff waited outside the house a girl appeared on horseback. "Is popper through with his din ner?" she asked. "No, don't disturb him; he hates to be hurried when he's eating. You're the sheriff, aren't you ?" "Yes. madam," the sheriff answer ed, removing his hat. "Oh, won't 'you please help me," said the girl, clasping her hands. "I do so want to see the convicts. I've never seen a convict and . popper wouldn't take me along, so I Just slip. ped away. Listen! as a slow snore came from within "I guess he's hav ing his after dinner nap and he'll he furious If you wake him. Won't you please let me Inspect the convicts?" No true southerner could resist such an appeal. They passed together through the Iron gates of the log stockade. Into the court, in which white prisoners and black stood list lessly, serving their sentences in com. pany with several mangy curs and a litter of pigs, as well as some fowls that ran squawking before the new comers. In the four towers at either corner guards sat Immovable with loaded ritles. "Are these all?" asked the girl. scanning the sullen groups with eag er, Interested, and, It appeared, half frightened eyes. "Where's Jim Durgan?" asked the sheriff curtly of an old colored trusty. "He's is dar, sheriff," the man an swered. "Who Is Jim Durgan?" the girl asked. "He's what we call a 'lifer.' Miss." the sheriff responded. "Sent up for murder five months ago. He was i.ever much good drunkard and all that, though a fine worker when he chose. Got Into a fight with another tough character over some girl; both drew, and Durgan fired first. Many thought he should have been acquit ted, but I guess the Jury sent him up on account of his reputation.

That's him." A tall, lean, sun-burned man came slowly out of the lnclosure and look ed round Inquiringly. There was some dignity In hia poise; he seemed diff erent from the convicts around him. "Oh, I know he has the makings of an honest man," cried the girl Im pulsively. "I'll go to popper and just make him intercede for him." The man smiled scornfully and eyed the sheriff with cold disdain. "Won't you take him up to popper now?" she continued, clasping her hands. "He's always in a good humor when he wakes up from his nap. Oh, please do this for me and I'll do any thing you ask me." The sheriff looked dubious. "He's a desperate character, Miss," he answered. "Had to be put in Irons once." "I'm sure he'll give his word of honor to go quietly," said the girl, with tears In her eyes. "Won't you please please do this for me?" The sheriff placed his hand on the prisoner's shoulder. "You're sure your pa won't be mad about it. Miss?" he asked. "Well. I'll risk it." They passed out of the gates together. As the trio approached the front of the house where the horse stood tethered the girl looked back and gave a loud scream. "Look, look!" she cried. The sheriff turned with a start; every one turned, even the fat gov ernor, standing at the door of the dining room. There was a scurry, a splatter of dust, a vision of a gallop ing steed, bearing a girl and a man who turned back to laugh Insolently then nothing but an echo among the distant pines. "What In " began the governor. "Your daughter " stammered the i sheriff. "Daughter, confound you? I'm bachelor," the governor spluttered.
