UNION
THEY SHOULD COME TO THE
SOUTHWEST.
Under the heading of "The Cana
da Bubble" the Kansas City Journal
paints an editorial picture of the con
dition of affairs and the plight Ameri
can settlers are in in western Cana
da, The picture is evidently true in
every particular and it is therefore
high time that farmers In many sec
tions of the great West who are think
ing of emigrating to Canada be made
acquainted with the true condition of
affairs in order that they may change
their plans before it is too late. It
is passing strange that energetic and
hard working men should go to that
bleak, cold, wintry, snowy climate, to
make homes, and pay from ten to fif
teen dollars per acre for raw land
when they can come to the South
west and especially to the finest cli
mate on earth, as in New Mexico,
and purchase land at a low rate or
enter the same under the homestead
and desert land laws of the United
st.itps at. but slieht expense. The
chances for making a good living, at
talning a competency by the raising
of various crops and the feeding of
live stock in the Southwest and par
ticularly in New Mexico are twen
ty to one in favor of this section as
against Canada, and as for climatic
Rnf ial educational and business conai
tions, they are still greater in favor of
tho sniithwpst. The editorial ot uie
Kansas City Journal is so clearly
noint that the New Mexican endorses
very word of it, with the addition
that New Mexico first of all must be
Hdded to the states named by the
Journal. The editorial says:
"The farmers who were seduced by
land agents' glittering reports into
leaving this section several years ago
to settle in northwest Canada have
grown sick of their hard lot in that
bleak country and are selling out as
fast as they can and coming back to
the 'Italian azure-tinted skies of the
Southwest,' as Ambassador Bryce en
thusiastically termed them on the oc
casion of his recent visit to Oklahoma
and Indian Territory.
"The Journal warned these farmers
at the time that they were making a
bad bargain in exchanging their fer
tile farms in the most equable climate
of the United States, among a people
who are unsurpassed in the world for
social cheer and neighborly kindness,
for the terrible rigors of the isolated
regions of British Columbia and other
parts of the unsettled wilderness of
the Northwest. The soil of Missouri,
Kansas and Oklahoma will raise
abundant crops of any product known
to the temperate zone, and some even
of tee tropics, and although parts of
Canada may be better for grain, there
is no such difference in the product
as would justify a farmer in expatriat
'ng himself and 'his family and giving
up his American citizenship to live a
lonely life in a vast wilderness, wtih
out churches, schools or society of
any kind, much less to endure the
hardships Incident to the severe cli
mate of the frozen North.
"A farmer writing to his home rela
tives in Oklahoma from that country
reports that the frosts begin in Aug
ust, and that beginning in November
the thermometer stands at from 35 to
50 degrees below zero, with snow over
three feet deep on a level, while
around the houses it drifts until it
covers house, barn and even haystacks.-
The snow dirfted seven feet
deep around his house last winter and
remained frozen hard until May. He
had to cut steps to his barn, and was
a prisoner in his house all winter.
Worst of all, he reports that they ihad
on an average one blizzard a week
from November 16 to April 5, while
in summer they suffered from hot
winds. For weeks In winter the trains
were stopped and there were no mails
or news of any kind from the outside
world. Many people were without coal
during the worst weather, and some
were even without wood and were
compelled to burn straw and fence
posts.
This repentant Okiahoman con
eludes: "This Is a great, big, unde
veloped country, and the finest grain
producing country I ever saw, but
when you think of coming here you
must be prepared to shovel snow, chop
Ice and buck up against the real thing,
for this is Canada.' "
"Sensible farmers will hardly prefer
a country like that, even though it
raises a few more bushels of grain to
the acre, to this beautiful region of
the Southwest which produces more of
everything else, and where the con
dltions of life are as nearly ideal as
can be found on earth."
SILLY FAKES BY A LIAR.
Danny Macpherson's Albuquerque
Morning Coyote yawps in the follow
ing strain concerning the refusal of
Attorney General George W. Prich-
ard to allow the name of the Terri
tory in a quo warranto proceeding
sought by Trelford, ex-superintendent
of the penitentiary, in a dispatch from
this city which is partly fake and
partly the silly utterance of a lying
correspondent:
The best lawyers in this city are
unable to find words to express their
disgust at the proceedings in the Trel
ford matter. In the first place they ar.
gue that when Superintendent Trel
ford refused to recognize the commis
sion of Mr. Llttrell, the :proper way
would have been to take the matter
into court where the legal rights of
Air. 'Littrell, if he had any, could have
been established, instead of making
a place for liim by calling on the
mounted police to throw out the super
intendent. In the next place, they ar
gue that if Mr. Trelford has no rights
it would do no harm to let him prove
in court he has none, but if he has
rights lie ought to be allowed an op
portunity to establish them."
"The best lawyers in this city are
unable" to do anything but laugh at
the silliness and the ignorance of law
and decisions displayed by the Coyo
te and the Trelford contingent in the
case. If any lawyers in Santa Fe argue
that Superintendent Littrell should
have retired when Trelford after hav
ing agreed to give up reconsidered
and declined to recognize the Gover
nor's commission they are certainly
of the kind who- are bound to lose
their clients' cases; as to the rights of
Trelford to establish such in court,
he has had a full and fair hearing
and was removed upon proven charges
in strict accordance with law and for
the good of the commonwealth. The
affair has been 'a very amusing one
from the start on the Trelford side
and the antics, fulminations, alleged
legal declarations, fake dispatches and
slush editorials of Danny Macpher
son's Coyote are more or less silly,
more or less foolish, more or less ,
falsehoods, more or less misstatements
and more or less misinterpretations
and misunderstandings of the law and
precedence in such cases.
SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1907.
MORE FAKE REFORM EXPOSED.
Another fake reform claim is ex
posed. This time it is the one made
by ex-Governor Herbert J. Hagerman
in iiis message to the Thirty-seventh
Legislative Assembly that the admin
istration of penitentiary affairs under
his Kansas importation was. economic
al and efficient, that many permanent
improvements have been made since
he (the ex-Governor), appointed a
non-resident and incompetent man to
the position and that the earnings of
the convicts had been increased to
such a wonderful extent as to attract
the attention of all fake reformers
scattered across the country and to
deserve the admiration, and gratitude
of the poor down trodden tax payers
of New Mexico who under Republican
administrations had been robbed blind
by superintendents of the prison 'be
fore Hagerman's man Trelford took
charge. The facts are that had the
Trelford administration continued for
the remaining flv months of the fis
cal year there would have been a
great deficiency and the maintenance
of the prison would have cost fully
$15,000 more than the sum appropri
ated for that purpose. In the autumn
one by one the roses fall, and in
these fine summer days are the pre
tensions, fakes and liumbugs of the
Hagerman administration shown up.

That "celebrated expert's report"
made by one McMahon for which the
Territory paid $1,250 in hard cash,
aim which it is alleged, upon godd
authority, was doctored and fixed for
the purpose of proving H, O. Bursum,
superintendent of the Territorial peni
tentiary for seven years, an embezzler,
has 'reappeared and is now where
it belongs In the files of the ex
ecutive office of the Territory. This
paper which cost the Territory about
$10 per page had been "inadvertently"
placed in the valise of the ex-governor
when he hied himself on his eastern
trip after his removal from office.
Probably this piece of fabrication of
ntenhmal or unintentional errors,
and of false entries was used to the
prejudice of H. O. Bursum and to
blacken his character and probably it
was not. The New Mexican hopes
that the latter was the case.

The celebration of the inauguration
cf irrigation systems built by the U

was held -during the last three days
proved a grand success and is sure to
be one of the finest advertisements
the Pecos Valley section in particular
and the Sunshine Territory in general
will have for many a year. Everything
went off just as arranged smoothly
and evenly, and the committee of ar
rangements in charge is certainly en-
uucu to great creuit. However, as
the citizens of Eddy County one and
all, each did their utmost towards the
success of the affair all are entitled
to due praise.
Judging by the Associated Press
dispatches rebates and Indictments In
the United states courts seem to
have a peculiar affinity for each oth
er these days.
CAMPERS SHOULD TAKE PARTIC
ULAR HEED.
The El Paso Herald calls particular
attention to the great necessity of the
exercise of most particular care and
constant attention by camping parties,
campers and herdsmen in the forests
regarding camp fires and the thorough
extinction of such when not needed
and when a camp is broken up. This
advice is very timely and is as neces
sary in this section and in the moun
tains and' forests north, east and west
of this city as it is farther south. In
addition there exist stringent United
States statutes relating to such mat
ters both on national forests and in
the timbered sections of the public do
main. Violations of these statutes
are punishable by heavy fines and im
prisonment. 'Says the Herald:
"At this time of year, when the
woods and grass are dry, campers
should be particularly careful about
fires. Within the past two weeks
three forests in this neighborhood
have been swept by fire. Aside from
the great loss in timber, the hills and
gulches are denuded and the natural
water reservoirs destroyed. Floods
are induced, and the normal flow of
the streams interfered with. Cattle
and sheep suffer, and the losses direct
ly and indirectly are enormous.
"There are few more dismal sights
in nature than a fire-swept forest or
range. Sometimes half a century's
growth is destroyed in a few days
when the fires sweep through, and the
destruction of a range may mean the
death of large numbers of cattle or the
temporary abandonment of a tract
for which water has been obtained at
great cost.
"One of the greatest benefits of the
national forest service system has been
in preventing fires that would other
wise work infinite destruction. The
number of forest fires instantly de
creases when a forest is reserved. But
it is impossible with the force of
rangers at the disposal of the forest
service, to prevent all fires. Though
sparks from locomotives and sawmills
occasionally start fires, the final re
sponsibility rests almost entirely
with campers."
A special assistant attorney gen
eral has left Washington for New
Mexico to investigate land entries of
Territorial lands alleged to be fraudu
lent. Here is another splendid chance
for Danny Macpherson's Albuquerque
Morning Coyote to charge President
Roosevelt with "'high crimes against
honesty and decency in New Mexico"
and with "awful outrages on good gov
ernment." Ex-Governor Hagerman's
actions in delivering certain deeds to
the Pennsylvania Development Com
pany are to be included in the investigation.
"Was Priehard told 'he must refuse
or resign?" asks Danny Macpher
son's Albuquerque Coyote Journal. As
neither Acting Governor ,Raynolds nor
Attorney General Priehard will tell the
Coyote will have to keep on- howling
and yelping to the amusement of the
few who care enough to read its fake
editorials and dispatches. In the mean
time the government in Washington
still lives, President Roosevelt still
wields a big stick and the writ of
habeas corpus is not suspended in the
Territory,
Sixteen battleships are to bo sent to
take stations on the Pacific coast and
in Philippine, Chinese and Japanese

Preparation for war means peace these
days and an ounce of prevention is
much better than a pound of cure.
