Mr.. Webber's Enterprise.

Mr. John J. Ryan, manager OF the
Colorado Abstract company, who came
down from Denver in company with Mr..
f. T. Weber, departed this morning
for home, satisfied fully as to
the wisdom of Mr.. Webber's plans
for organizing q local abstract
company here. Denver capitalists will
take two.thirds of the stock and Santa
Feans are expected to take the remaining
third. This they certainly will do.
In starting this enterprise Mr.. Weber
has again shown his faith in Santa Re
and his interest IN behalf OF the welfare
of the people here, particularly the prop
erty holders. 1t is moro than likely that
a complete survey Of every foot Of land in
the county will be shortly ordered by this
new corporation, and neat city map will
be gotten out Immediately.

The SUCKERS LEAeuE.-A ne

THE SUCKERS LEAGUE. new
order was organized in Hawthorne
last week. 1t is inelegantly called
the "Suckers' League" j. A.
Yerington was the unanimous
choice OF the league for President ;
James Yerington was chosen Sec
retary-Treasurer without a dissent
ing voice; Jun Yerington was made
Sergeant-at-Arms by reclamation,
and Jimmy Yernngtsn was elected
Beard of Directors amidst the
widest enthusiasm. 1.-The object
of this Order" said Mr.. Yerington
to our reporter, sis never to take
the best Of anything; always give
your neighbor the choice cut of the
turkey and milk frsm the top Of
the can; when a co-owner in .
mining claim fails to do his share,
you must have the work done ana
send him q receipt; when a friend
equally skillful offers to play you
game of billiards even, you must
say. ooh, no, I'll discount you.' If
In little game OF draw poker you
get tour aces, you magnaninously
discard three of 'em and 'bob' to
the othor. Oh, it's a great thing
and IN the Great Sucker-in fact |
comprise the entire League, as is
apparent from the above list Of off
GERS, but there are several applica-
tons for membership ON file." And

KILL THE ARTIsr.-The artist who
get up the Grismer-Davies posters
ought to be taken cut and hung.
These posters represent Jss Girls
msr alongside his wife, Phoebe
Davies. Joe is about nine times As
handsome as he really 10 in real
life, and his wife in not one ninth as
pretty as she really is. Joe looks
in the picture ten years younger
than he il, and Phoebe twenty
year older. Although Mr.. Grismer
is ranked az . handsome man all
over the United States, he isn't q
marker to his lovely wife, and
hence the posters are misleading.
If Joe has any gallantry about HIM

are exhausted, order . new batch
elsewhere, before the public get up

construction OF the Central Pacific
Railroad the danger Of snew be-
came apparent. and before the
track had reached Ogden great
difficulty had been experienced in

became the main artery of COM

was even more keenly appreciated.

quent, but in March 1874 the first
serious blockade took place. Snow
had been plentiful during the
Winter, but ON February 18th a
senes Of heavy snow storms set IN
which continued almost without
intermission for two weeks. BY
March 4th the road was at the
mercy Of the elements. Heavy
drifts as Colfax, Blue Canyon.
Emigrant Gap, Summit and Truck
co, completely stopped travel. The
snswplows and an army of shovel
ers fought the snow, but made no
sensible impression until the storm
ceased. On March 18th, after the
road had been closed fer eleven
days, the blockade was raised. In
1876 another blockade occurred
which lasted several days. In 1880
there were big storms in April
which blocked the road. At that
time the trouble was mainly on
account of sheds being crushed by
snow. Trains were blocked in
Trackee Eve days. In March 1882
there was also few days blockade,
since which time there has been ne
trouble from snow until the present
