' Washington, Oct,'. 18. Regarding the New Mexico land deal alleged to have been a scheme to secure valuable timber lands for almost nothing, Wll Ham F. Wright, secretary of ths late Senator Quay- of Pennsylvania, made a statement throwing a curious siae light on the bill, which he declares were traded for the New Mexico state hood bill. Wright said: '"The report that Sherman was the author of the timber bill Is wrong. The real author la W, H. Andrews, now territorial delegate from Ne Mexico. Andrews entered into an agreement with Sherman and other members ot the house of representatives Involving the transfer of an option on timber land which he held. He surrendered his option on the lands conditionally. : "One of the terms of the agreement was that the New Mexico 'statehood bill was to pass congress. Matters eventually went bad for Andrews, as the statehood bill scheme was blocked In, the senate. In the meantime it looked as though, the bill had. already pa.4ied the ; house, , making grants oi lands which would pass the senate, re- suiting In Andrews losing his option." 1 the FMRs M : Days Only f Small Prices i a t n r .
