Santa K<-, N M., Oct. 26.—To de-
vise n way u> make Indiana of thla
part of the cotniry attend some kind
of school, government or private, aru$
thua get that education which will
make them first of all good Indiana
—that is the mission of E. P. Hoi-
coml), of the department of the in-
terior and who arrived yesterday
from Washington. Mr. Holcomb'Is a
/ i i ^ • 'high otficlal of the bureau of Indian
of constant experience as a affairs and he Is recognized as an
, . » iif authority on the needs of the Indian
piano tuner and regulator, of the west.
J Mr. Holeomt) has been in Bantu Fe
can conscientiously recom-^tore and has many fiTends in thla
“ | city. He transacts his business with
mend thp HARVARD PlANO rapidity, however, and soon he will
flicnu IflC I 1AKVAKU 1 1/alsC/^p OD j,jg way home. He had a con-
ference this morning with Francisco
C. Wilson, U. S. attorney for the Pue
bio Indians and this afternoon had
an important interview with Clinton
J. Crandall, superintendent of the U.
S. Indian Industrial school.
Although he does not say much
about the nature of his work. Mr.
Ilolcomb broke his customary-silence
today and gave a short Interview. He
admitted that an effort is being made
in the direction of procuring com-
pulsory education for the red man
“It is desired to make him attend
some school, get some eduation," said
Mr. Holcomb. “We believe that the
Indian needs education Just as other
people need It; we want to- see him
get it‘and If he does not attend our
Indian schools we would like to see
him attend some school.”
Mr. Holcomb is one of those high
officials in Indian affairs like Fraiu-lO
C. Leupp, formerly head of the In-
dian bureau, who does not believe
that educating the Indian and mak-
ing a good U. 8. citizen of him can
be entirely successful by immediate-
ly depriving the red man of his blan-
ket lull of colors of barbaric splen-
dor. shaving pff his long hair and
making him wear shoes with a high
heel on them. He believes that the
efforts of the department should be
put forth to make the Indian first of
all a good, law-abiding Indian, and
to do this he must get education, it
is cheaper and better for Uncle Sam
to kiuke good citizens of his wards
thanVto fight them, and if the Indian
can fte^ brought to realize that he has
to go -to school like any Tom, Hick
or Harry, or Jimmy, and get his
three r's down pat. a long stride to-
ward making good Americans out of
good Indians will have been taken.

BEATHBKD CONFESSION
OF EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Special to The Time*.
Springer. N. M., Oet. 26.—From
an authentic source comes the report
that the late Jesse Pate, before he
died in Baton h year ago, made a
deathbed statement, in which he Im-
I plicated severely, among them hlm-
1 self, in the robbery of the Welts
Fargo Express company’s strong box
at French of over 4.15,000 in May,
1908.
Besides himself, it is not learned
who the dyinij man implicated or in
what condition he was when the
statement was made by him. It Is
Special to Tlr There.
Washington. Oct. 26.—There Is a
little over $4000 In the treasury of
the United States to the credit of
David Bennett Hill. it represents
the amount of salary placed to the
credit of Mr. Htll by the fiscal clerk
of the United States trom the be-
ginning of the term for- which Mr.
Hill was elected senator from the
state of New York up to the date up-
on which lie actually qualified and
whether ex-Senator Hill’s executor or
administrator can collect the money
without a legal struggle with the
auditing offices of the government Is
a question, because during the time
covered by the salary credited Mr.
Hill as senator he was governor of
New York, and. so far as is known,
; drawing salary as such. Nor is It be-
lieved that those authorized to ad-
minister Senator Hill’s estate will at-
tempt to get the money, in view of
the late senator's attitude toward the
matter.
Hill Scored Bookkeeping Methods.
' But for the stubbornness of Sena-
tor Hill, the anomalous situation re-
garding his accounts with the gov.
ernment as senator would not now
exist. If living, he probably would
retort that but for the peculiar book
keeping methods of the senate the
tangle would not have occurred.
Senator Hill did not come to Wash-
ington to qualif as United States
senator for several months after the
beginning o» the term for which he
was elected. but owing to the
peculiar political condition in New
York continued to exercise the duties
of. governor. But following the prao»
tice authorized by the senate, the dis-
bursing office took notice of the fact
that Senator Hill had been elect-
ed. and immediately entered his
flame on the books and credited him
with thft salary. After Mr. Hill had
finally resigned as governor and qual-
ified as senator he was made aware
of the fact that there was a credit of
salary due him on the hooks of tlm
financial clerk of the senate front the
beginning of the senatorial term.
With a show of authority he com-
manded the senate financial clerk lo
restate the account.
Told Clerk to Change Books.
“Go change your books,” suld Mr.
Hill. "1 was not senator from New
York during the time stated.”
The financial clerk explaned that
he could not change the books In
view of the practice. He explained
to Senator Hill, that he. the senator,
could draw the money and then con-
vert It Into the treasury.
This Mr. Hill declined to do, and
threatened to bring mandamus pro-
ceedings against the senate disburs-
ing office to compel him to change
his bookkeeping methods, put the
senator did nol pursue the matter,
and. as the financial clerk did not
care to reopen the ease, in view of
Senator Hill's angry protest, there Is
still now more than $4000 standing to
Mr. Hill’s credit.
FOREST CHANGES
BENEFIT STOCKMEN
Cattle and Shefp Owners
Will Be Helped by Re-
cent Range Rules
Special (a The There
Prescott. Arte.. Oct. 26 —Cattle and
sheep owners of northern Arizona
will be Interested In learning that the
range rules of the Prescott forest re-
serve have been materially revised
under official orders from Washing-
ton, received a few days ago by Su-
pervisor Hlnderer. A proclamation
under date of October 7 th gives the
eliminations effective from and after
that date, together with the additions
made to the public domain.
In additions ordered are approxi-
mately fifty sections that are added
to the Sycamore Mesa and Tank
Creek country. In the eastern part of
the county.
Eleven sections are added south
and west of Prescott, which moves
the forest boundary one mile closer
to the city than formerly. Instead of
the boundaries being three miles dis-
tant. the new order throws the re
strleted field to within two miles.
Eighty-eight sections are added
east of Del Itlo and on the south side
of the Verde river, to and Including
Peck’s Lake. Between the river and
the old boundaries of the Coconino
forest that section has been added to
the Tusayan reserve, with headquar-
ters at Williams.
Forty-four sections have been ndded
immediately north of the Camp Mc-
Dowell reservation, extending seven
miles west of the Verde river.
Nine sections have been added Im-
mediately west of the Camp Verde
pestoffice.
The eliminations ordered embrace
a strtp two miles wide east of Kirk-
land and Skull valleys, extending as
far smith as Moore’s Springs, distant
seventeen miles.
Twenty-two sections are eliminated
from the township in which Mayer is
located.
South of the Bradshaw mountains,
forty-eight sections are eliminated,
embracing an area of twelve miles
east and west and four miles north
and south, running east and west
through the Old Kentuck ranch and
including all of the Humbug and
Boulder Creek country.
East of Dewey sixteen sections are
eliminated, including all of the coun-
try south of Texas Gulch and west of
Yarber, Wash.
South of Cottonwood, on the Verde
river, five sections are eliminated on
the Black Canyon Mesa.
The total additions ordered to the
reserve are 120,280 acres, while the
eliminations reach 80,640 acres.
This order materially affects the
sheep Industry, and Is especially fa-
vorable to It. The Skull Valley and
the Bradshaw section are given a
wider range than formerly, which
will prove beneficial in the driving
season. Near Mayer the sheepmen
can move their flocks close to the
railroad, and conduct their shearing
under better conditions. A wider
range, is also afforded at Mayer than
formerly.

Tn the Foley fire several hnudred
dollars were lost in water and smoke
damage, and that it was due to an
incendiary is believed. In one por-
tion of the main room the fire bug
selected a pile of refuse to carry out
his plan, and had not heroic efforts
beefr made promptly the loss would
have been a serious one.
During the confusion following the
alarm and the efforts of many to
extinguish the fire, Charles Groff, a
hobo, was seen in the act of taking
property away, and was immediately
placed under arrest by Deputy Sher-
iff Bartlett. He had in his posses-
sion a fine Stetson hat which was
recovered and taken back to the
house. Groff was taken to Prescott
by Deputy Bartlett and will serve 29
days in jail.
It is the general opinion of many
at Ash Fork that a gang of fire
•bugs is infesting the place, and all
business men are on the alert to pro-
tect* their interests, in which Dep-
uty Bartlett is on-operating in’ an
energetic and effective manner.
statement of C. T. Willis, the public
accountant, in an interview publish-
ed recently, that the county officials
of Graham county had retarded him
in his work to such an extent that
he was' eompelled to give up for the
present, is causing great Indignation
here.
The various officials of Graham
county say that they extended Willis
and his assistants every possible cour-
tesy. The only restrictions placed on
the accountants were such as were
necessary lor the protection of the
offices and to insure the return of
the files of records for which the
officials are responsible.
The records of Graham county of-
fices are open for inspection on any
office day. Willis himself a few days
ago was expressing great apprecia-
tion of the courtesies extended him
by the officials of the county.

Carlsbad, N. M., Oct. 26,—Should
the wires announce that the United
States of America has declared war
against Mexico, the activity of the
railroads in moving troops to the
scene of action would not l^e any more
active than the roads now are in mov-
ing a vast bovine army from the
drouth stricken country Routh of
Carlsbad to the suculent grasses north
of Roswell. Double-headers and sin-
gle-headers, both day and night, are
rushing past here with the slender
bovine soldiers looking out of the cars
with a starved look and almost the
death rattle In their throats.
The lack of rain In Western Texas
the past year has caused the stock-
men to look out for graRs for their
cattle. The McKenzie brothers have
changed the range of 8,000 head of
cattle. McCoy, the Cowdens, the
Johnsons, and many other big cattle-
men have either changed ranges or
are looking for ranges. The thousands
of acres of free government land be-
tween Roswell and Fort Sumner are
being occupied, not only by thousands
of cattle, but tens of thousands of
sheep. Many men have gone up in
that country looking for ranch prop-
ositions and all have the same story
to tell, that the invasion is terrific.
This all may he for the better, as the
ranges below; here will receive a
much needed: rest, and when the gates
of heaven open with their downpour
next year the ranges will he in a con-
dition to grow the grass as they never
did before. This brings to mind tin
much discussed question as to the
mode of the large cattlemen raising
cattle as they do. with the cattle half
starved at a certain portion of the
year and rolling fat the other part.
» Would it not be better that they
Ihnulri encourage the raising of al-
falfa and feed the meal to the cattle?
They might not make as much money,
hut It would he much more humane.
In contrast to this moving of poor
cattle, some of the cattlemen in the
eastern part of Eddy county are ac-
tually shipping out tot cows to mar-
ket and Just beyond the line of Eddy
county in Texas, near the Shatter lake
country, the news comes that W. R.
Craft, a former prosperous real estate
man of this place, has raised 600
bushels of peanuts on his dry land
farm. This shows the vast conditions
of this-big country and other oppor-
tunities for varied investments here.

CALL OF THE WILD
LURES YOUNG INDIAN BRAVES
Special to The Times.
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 26.—The ap-
pearance here yesterday of Buffalo
Bill's Wild West show had a some-
what baneful effect upon three young
braves who recently came to the In-
dian school from Oklahoma, so much
so that last evening they formulated a
plan by which they could accompany
the show buck to the land of their
nativity. As a result one was landed
shortly after 11 o'clock last night and
placed in the city jail, while word was
sent down to Sacaton, nsklng that the
Indian policemen there hoard the
show train and endeavor to find the
other two.
It was shortly after the supper hour
last evening when tha absence of the
young Indians was noted at the In-
dian school, and Disciplinarian Brown
forthwith Instituted u search, which
resulted in the capture of one of the
fugitives. In the hope of being able
to capture the other two, he placed
his prisoner in the clfy jail and started
out toward the railroad yards, where
the last train was then loading. His
search was unrewarded, hut ho ex-
pressed confidence that the Indian
policeman at Sacaton would find his
quarry on the first train.
The braves do not contend that
they were not rightly treated at the
Indian school, hut, to the contrary,
state that they were given every con-
sideration possible. They simply be-
came homesick, and seeing the op-
portunity to return to Oklahoma were
not slow in making the attempt.

TEXAS CATTLEMEN MCST
EXTERMINATE THE TICKS.
Special to The Times
San Antonio, Texas, oc*., 26.—The
work of tick extermination among the
cattle of Texas must go forward and
not he permitted to lag und It is a
work which must interest every
cattleman in the state, Because a
man ranches 150 or 200 miles south
of the quarantine line is no reason
why he should allow the fewer tick
to run riot over his r attle and range.
Dipping vats could lie utilized to re-
duce the number of tteks from year
to year until they would no longer ,be
a menace to the development of the
animal. Dipping will pay 500 . per'
cent profit whether a man cares to
move his cattle north of the line or
mature them at home. When the
ranges of the tick are reduced to the
minimum by dipping then the process
of a general clean up with the co-
operation til the Bureau of Animal
Industry will he an easy matter.
Then, ton, suppose the whole state
should be placed below the line and
Secretary Wilson should annul ihs
ruling that licky cattle in Mexico aro
diseased. The state would then be
filled with cattle from the other side
of the Rio Grande as the cattlemen
over there are very anxious to pay the
duty In order to find a market for
their cattle tn the United Suites. .,r
more properly speaking in Texas.

crowded city In the world.

More Merchandise-Order
Prizes to be Awarded to
Times Contestants on Sat-
urday Evening, Nov. 5th
So successful was the living away of the Special Prize last
week that it has been decided to give away some Merchandise Or-
ders. This time, however, the time in which tires*; prizes may he
competed for will extend over a period of almost two weeks. The
prizes this time will consist of three merchandise orders, instead
of one, as last week. The first prize of Twenty-five Dollars in
trade at any store advertising in the Times, will go to the young
lady who turns into this office the greatest number of subscriptions
between the 24th of this month and the pth of November, both
dates inclusive. No orders other than three-month orders will
count. The second prize, of Fifteen Dollars in trade, will go to
the young lady turning in the second highest number of three
months’ subscriptions. And the third prize, of, Ten Dollars, will
go to the one who comes third. In regard to these Special Prizes,
it would he best to state, at this time, that no more than one Special
Prize can be won by the same contestant. What it is desired to do
is to divide these Special Prizes up and, as a consequence, when-
ever a contestant wins one of them, she is debarred from compet-
ing for another one of them.
Length of Orders
It is wished, on the part of the Times, to emphasize the fact
that no orders for longer periods than THREE MONTHS will
he accepted to count in the contest, AT ANY TIME. It appears
that there have been statements given by some more or less inter-
ested parties to the effect that towards the end of the contest or-
ders for this paper for longer periods of'time than three months
would he accepted and votes paid on them, greater in proportion
than are being paid on three months’ orders. It is wished, at-this
time, to brand any such statement as false. The Times started
out on this contest on a basis of three months’ orders and will con-
tinue so to the etui of the contest. As a consequence, your three
months’ subscription counts just as much for the young lady for
whom you cast it as does that of anyone else. And no one can, at
any time, put in a subscription for any longer period than that
term.
You Will Find the Count
on another page of this paper
Votes
During this contest votes will he issued only on three months subscriptions.
However, votes-will be given on payments for papers already served at the rate of
300 votes per month for each month paid. Five hundred votes will be given for
every three months subscription.
No more than one subscription can he credited to the same party. That is,
no one can subscribe for longer periods than three months, and post-date tke
orders.
