An Indian trader on the Chaco relate
that he recently saw Navajo squaw 60
ing over the hill from the store, apparent.
y carrying something under her blanket.

The Commercial club at its last meet
ing passed resolution protesting in Wig
orous terms against the unfair and unjust
course pursued by the Chicago Tribune,
st. Louis Globe-Democrat and few
other prominent journals OF the country,
in their opposition to the bill for the ad

Walter @. Hadley, who is one of the
delegates appointed by the governor to go
to Washington in the interest Of statehood
for New Mexico, writes to Gov. Slower, of
Albuquerque, suggesting that the delegates

The school election held in Clayton not
long since resulted in tie between three
candidates for directors. 1t also resulted
indignation. The greatest good it done
for Clayton was in the realization of this
great fact that there were many men who
had minds, brains aud force of character
sufficient to vote as they pleased. Clay

For water, soil and fruits, San Juan
county is gem. 1t is all good. No one
locality has monopoly. At the fair last
fall the finest peaches were from Cox's
Crossing, the finest pears from Aztec, the
best apples from Flora Vista, the best
potatoes from Center Point, the best
squashes and cabbages from Pennington,
The best wheat and largest yield from the
La Plata, and the finest oats from Center
Point. With showing like that no one
locality can claim superiority, and none
ioes.
Mr.. Philip Madrid, brother ,in-law OF
Senior Pablo Candelario, postmaster and
general merchant at Alcatraz, the new
above Largo ON the San Juan,
las recently come from his home at
Pagosa Springs, and will remain with
senior Candelario through the summer.
Mr.. Madrid is young gentleman of busi-
ness capacity and fine sttainments, a
student at the Denver university, speaks
both English and Spanish very fuently,
and will make valuable acquisition TO
San Juan county business circles.
San Juan note: Mr. Theof, of Largo,
informs The Index that there are at least |
sixteen hundred acres of government
and in the immediate vicinity of Largo
hat is open to location. 1t comprises
some of the finest land in the county, and
il taken up and cultivated could easily be
made one of the finest and most pros
porous settlements in this part OF the ter
ritory. Here are fine opportunities for a
half score of industrious families to Sc.
cure homesteads; and Mr.. Theoff holds
himself in readiness to show any home
seeker a desirable piece of land upon
which to make an attractive and valu.
able home.
1t is said the Cerrillos Coal & Iron com.
pany are making inquiries as to the best
banks for them to work, especially for
their output Of hard coal. There are no two
ways about the hard coal supplied to this
city five or six years ago, being every way
superior to that of the last year or two.
1t was harder. lasted longer, gave more
heat, and furnished nothing like such an
abundance of clinkers. That better coal
was from the Boyle bank, and it is said
the company have concluded to ship from
that bank. This will certainly be wise
policy.-Las Vegas Optic.
Eddy crumb: 1t is true that at som
places in town erratic therm ometers
showed temperature OF ITO on Tuesday
Of last week, although the highest point
reached in the Argus Office was 104. Still
Il was nothing to brag about, and the
mere announcement of the fact is mis-
eading, and apt to create the impression
hat the heat is innerviating here as in
he east, or in the middle and southern
Texas. But such is not the case, the at
mosphere here is very nearly devoid of
and it's dryness and almost sb'
'olute purity makes the effect of the heat
IN persons and animals equal to differ
,nce OF from 25 to 30 degrees, as COM
pared with humid latitudes.

Four more cars will be forwarded as soon

within the last two weeks gathered 1876
ons of this valuable root. Messrs. Brew
,ter, Cameron and L. M. Manning also !
lave several gathering camps down the
,alley, and will shortly establish works at
Pecos for the purpose OF extracting the
annie acid from the roots, and shipping
n liquid form instead of bulk. 1t will
1ot be many years before the cultivation
If canaigre will be an important industry
n the Pecos vallcy.-Eddy Argus.
