poets on johnson mesa were never 30

mail service in the west has been no more
satisfactory is that some ignorant upstart
in the east generally puts in bid below
the actual cost of transportation, and
then sub-lets to some irresponsible party
who is unable to give efficient service.

been commenced. From the lower work
an irrigating canal will be run down to-
ward Deming.
