Relief parties are bringing others out of the canyon and it was believed all would be safely removed before nightfall. While many of the snowbound motorists are suffering from exposure, frost bites and hunger, having been stalled in canyon since Monday, it is not believed any will die. Citizens of San Marcial are throwing open the courthouse for the care of the tourists and it is that there is a sufficient food supply here to care for them. Medical assistance is ample. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Dec. 13.—More than 200 autos are stalled in a canyon east of this city as a result of the severe blizzard and snow storm that has raged in New Mexico for 48 hours, according to reports reaching here today. Two men are said to have reached San Marcial, 25 miles east of the canyon, after a 24 hour walk and reported that 300 persons, including many women, are suffering from exposure and lack of food after being tied up in the snow-blocked canyon for two days. Reports received here said that the automobile tourists, enroute to California, had been driven from the main highway by deep snow drifts. The entrance to the canyon was open but the continued severity of the storm soon piled the wind-driven snow so high that the travellers were trapped in the ravine. The food supplies at San Marcial, nearest town to the stalled motorists, would be inadequate if rescuers succeed in reaching the canyon, it was said, and plans are reported under way by state officials at Santa Fe to rush doctors, nurses and food to the stricken motorists. Governor Hinkle, at Santa Fe, announced that he was investigating reports of extreme suffering among the stranded autoists near San Marcial and was preparing to send aid to them. FOUR INJURED WHEN MOTOR OVERTURNS Harry D. Stanley, 317 So.

The occupants of the car were thrown free of the wreckage. Stanley, a geologist, had been inspecting fossils at Lemon Heights; it was learned. For many feet the road was covered with $750,000 classes. The two incomes are grouped to conceal the net income and identify the taxpayers and amount to $779,406. Collector Goodcell said yesterday that, on those two incomes of $779,406, a tax of $449,935, was collected. Of this amount $60,471 was the normal tax and $386,444 surtax. Five Californians reported incomes in the $200,000 to $250,000 class, amounting to 1,148,459, and the total tax paid was $519,257.

Collector Goodcell estimates that the receipts from the final payment will pass the $5,000,000 mark. County License Proposal Will Be Presented At Next A. C. C. Meet Stores located just outside a range co communities and draw trade from them will have to pay a county license fee for that privilege if a plan to be brought forward at the next meeting of the A. C. C. of C bears fruit. The merger will be discussed of asking the county board of supervisors to pass an ordinance to this effect it was learned on excellent authority today. It is pointed out that the stands escape city taxes and high rents also. Ranchers are regarded as reliable to such a license fee because they are selling their goods. Various angles of the plan were discussed today by local merchants. O.E. Renner of the S.C.R. Store, speaking as a member of the Merchants' Section of the Chamber of Commerce, said housewives should be protected against people who are here too and gone tomorrow, and again salesmen who possess a wonderful line of selling talk. William Falkenstein of Falkenstein's store asserted that while ranchers should be protected selling their own fruit and truss people who bring in merchandise for resale should be compelled by pay license fees, one same as the city merchants. G. E Kitchen, whose grocery directly affected by such stand asserted that it was unfair to permit these places to get outside cities and escape taxes, license fees and high rents. On sale one product, oleomargarine, which is a State tax, said Kitchen, effective everywhere in California and license fees should be uniform or anywhere else. George L. Jones, manager of one of the Chaffee stores, said county license fee should be paid by these stands if only to support the cost of county inspections which ultimately fails on every body in the county. Some of these stands, said Jones, have access to more patrons than grocers in the cities.

The snow and cold wave is the worst experienced in New Mexico in 25 years. The storm had abated today but because many sections are cut off from communication, days will pass before the blizzard's toll is learned. Five members of the family of Luis Montoya were frozen to death south of here while camping. They were going cross country in a horse-drawn wagon. Montoya escaped death but his hands and feet were frozen. His son Pablo in missing. It is believed he left the family to secure assistance and was lost in the storm.
