We have Travelled few miles in our

comfortably housed in a poorly uphol-
stored Cal. land rudely tossed up and down
ON old iron rails that are laid on dirt
road-bed. We have been there; but it
was always on other roads than the San.

go and Denver is hard to beat The rails
are of heavy steel, the track smooth and
rock balastcd, and the through Canon
BALI train that flies at a fifty-miles an
hour speed over this elegant roadway is
as pretty bit of workmanship as Messrs

The New Commissioner.

At meeting OF the board of county
commissioners, held on Wednesday, G.
NJ. Hoover rendered his resignation as q
member from the third district. The
resignation was accepted and the board
proceeded to fill the vacancy by the
nomination and election of C. E. Smiley.
The appointment will. We think. meet
with general approval, as Mr.. Smiley is
one of the best citizens of the county.
He has large land and stock interests,
which, aside from other considerations,
guarantees careful study in county leg
islation. Mr.. S:ailey has ability coupled
with good, sound judgment. the ele-
ments necessary to good commissioner.
We congratulate the board on its wise
selection and the people on securing a
good officer. Praise Of Mr.. Hoover as
commissioner would be superfluous when
more recent honors have come to him as
representative.

The commissioners meet today for the
purpose of coming to definite conclu-
sion in regard to the defunct Merchants
Bank affairs. The commissioners and
the city council favor the appointment
of 6. NJ. Hoover as either assignee or
receiver. This would Immediately re
lieve the embarrassing contingency that
now confronts the creditors-a receiver
and assignee conflicting with each other.
We understand that Mr. Hoover is being
urged and is favorably inclined to reor-
ganize the bank asd open it for business,
with the object in view of effecting a
full settlement with the creditors. Should
he conclude to carry out this plan, his
name at the head of the institution would
at once restore confidence. interest capt.
