Why His Salary Was Short.

A few days ago "A gentleman rid tne
down on the train with Bishop Whit
aker asked If the statement maids in
the Argonaut that the E~piscopalians of
California owed Bishop Kip aboute 3d.
600 was true. The bishop said he did
not think the amount was over s12p0o.
How came that much to be owes Y
asked the quizzical iayman.
Well replied the Bishop, 81 thin /
can explain the matter. You see,
Bishop Kip is also rector OF the Church
of the Advent. The parish drought
the Bishops salary from the Diooeset,f
California was enough to keep him IN
good style, so the parish of the Advent
paid him nothing, then the diocese of
California thought his salary as rector
of the Church of the Advent was
enough without any diocesan assist
ance, so they paid him nothing, and of
course, between the two his salary fell
short.-Carson Appeal.

Several bills for the creation Of new
counties have been introduced In the
New Mexico Legislature aud are lIow
pending.
Tie county OF Sierra made np of
slices from Grant, bona Ana. aud So
zorro counties with Hillsboro as the
county seal. passed the house bur Ia
lodged in the council against petit ons
from bona Ana and Socorro coups les,
aud is likely to remain there.

ing as the capital has the full strength
IF Silver City to fight and will probsb-
~ not get through either body. The
hill was relerfd To Mr.. Furman and In
all probability will not get out of his
pocket.
Navajo County embracing western
Valencia county with Grants Station
as the seat of justice is a scheme which
has little opposition but which has not
gone through either house. 1t is in
the hands of the committee on counties
Another proposition is the Formations
Of San Juan county from western Rio
Arib2 county with Aztec as the county
seat. This easur has passed the
house and is 10Y in the council.
Besides the foregoing. there is also
a project to cut Sau Miguel county
in twain and make San nIlario Il cOun-
ty seat. All
None Of these bills are likelyto pass
both houses and it Is quite probable
that the twelve counties OF New Me,;i-
co will remain Intact for another
twenty-four months. Id 10
