"Perhaps you think it an easy thlnR

know how" said gray-halred nre lac,
die the other day, as he nimoly vauiteo
ont of his lofty seat on the tail OF tne
trnclx after returning from false
alarm a few blocks away.
"There are practically two men on
the truck, the man who drives ana tne
man who steers" continued ING
veteran. "I've done both duties now
for more than ten years and fiatter my
self that I know something about them'
but / think that the steerer has the
harder job of the two"
It Is probable that any one VINO mas
thought of the matter at all has come 10
the same conclusion, for the dettness
with which hook and ladder truck Is
swung around sharp corners, In its mao
race to a fire, is something to be won
dered at by the onlookers.
The truck itself is about forty 1eet
long and carries from six to elght ex-
tension and several life-saving ladders,
the longest of the former projecting out
behind about ten feet. The truck IS
drawn bv three strong and fleet horses
which are driven by man sitting on
hioh seat in front. The members or the
company find standing room on the low
platform which runs along either sloe
: of the truck below the body of the con-
] vevance. while at the extreme END sltS
0 the steerer away up in the air. You
. scarcely see the men between Tor look
mo at the driver and his coad1utor al
the other end. The latter has his hand
/ on a big wheel like an enormous Drake
IS on freight car, on which he keeps M
J. hands firmly closed. Meanwhlle III

GOOD NEWSPAPER WORK,

The last issue of the San Marcial Re-
porter contained very good illustrative
article on the agricultural college. The
article is somewhat more full and con-
tains more data concerning the college
than the one published by the New Mex
ICAN two weeks ago, but follows in the
same line and will do the college, the
Mesilla valley and the territory great
deal OF good, and in the same manner the
New MExICAN's article did. Such work
is commendable and shows the proper
spirit of enterprise. The New MEXICAN
congratuates the Reporter upon its good
and wholesome work in publishing the
article in question.

OF the territory and to its injury, control
of the lower house of the last legislative
assembly. This plan, it may be however
noted right here, will not again work as
well as it did. The New MEXICAN makes
the above statement and gives the above
information as matter of news and in
formation; the Democratic executive COM
mittee has the right and the power to
buy up as many White Cap papers as it
can or sees fit; however, this is published
simply to show the people of the territory
what is going on and what the Democratic
bosses are up to.

THE city of Chicago is becoming like
New York and will have two sets Of Dem
ocracies; it is to be hoped so; for betU cen
the two sets, the Republicans may be able
to elect a city government that will be an
honest and efficient one. Still this sort
of business does not always hold good
one sort of Democracy, the Tammany
Democracy, just about the worst in the
country, not even excepting our own
Democracy in New Mexico, rules the
roost with very high hand and very
lordly mien in New York city, although
there are several other sets about.

the territory is to meet at Albuquerque on
the 18th of September next in order to
adopt campaign plan and to raise more

and it comes from a reliable source, that
the sum OF $1,000 is to be raised for the
support of those weekly papers during the
coming twelve months. There is no
doubt but that the plan will be to make
another fusion with the White Cap ele-
