Rev. G. l. Mills, of the M. E. church,
is quoted as having said in his sermon
last night that the New MEXICAN is guilty

Santa Fe, and the reverend brother thinks
also that the Board of Trades courteous
attentions to the railway visitors at the
Palace hotel banquet was little short OF
barbaric.
A few nonprogressive city aldermen
and half dozen or 80 people whose earth
ly possessions here wouldn't fill number |
FIVE hat, lack great deal of representing
4ha sontiment of this community on the |
question of water competition. The
are in favor of 1.-THE property
owner and the laboring man, and when
these are consulted it is not difficult to
understand why the more progressive
majority of the city council granted the
franchise whereby water competition is
assured to Santa Fe. 1t was the best
hours work the city council has ever had
q hand in.
