Mr.. Ad. Gusdorf, of the live dry goods
house of Gusdorf q Dolan, returned last
night from two weeks trip east. While
absent he purchased the largest bill of
goods ever brought to Santa Fe. He says
prices are remarkably low and that such
bargains as his firm now offer will aston
ish the natives. "War prices have got to
60 at last" says Mr.. Gusdorf.
The Woman's Board of Trade have
certainly made a very judicious choice of
contractor to lay the new coping ON the
plaza. The masonry appears to be per-
feet, well and truly laid, and solidly and
evenly bedded. The Board of Trade
ladies deserve not only the thanks but the
increased contributions of the community
for whom they are providing such orna
mental and indestructible concert seats.
Now to work for statehood and contin-
uous supply of pure drinking water, es-
pecially on the plaza.
Mr.. John George, of Bristol, Tenn, is
visitor here to-day. He came to Santa
Fe with Gen. Kearney in 1916, having en-
listed at Newport barracks, KY. and he
was all through the notable campaign
that followed. When Gen. Sterling Price
was in command here and old Fort Marcy
was in course of construction, he served
as hospital steward, and the regimental
parade ground was on the identical spot
used by Col. Pearson's troops to-day. 81
find most pleasing change in the his
toric CITY," said he, "and am proud to
have lived long enough to come back and
go over the scenes of those stirring
times" Next week Mr.. George goes to
Taos, "where," he added, II shall see the
sons of my old orderly sargeant, Fred
Muller, as brave man as ever lived"
Hon. Z. M. Shannon has just returned
from Pima, Graham county, A. T., where he
went to protect the interests of the gov
ernment in the establishment of whisky
distillery at that point. This is the first
distillery OF its kind established In New
Mexico or Arizona. While Mr.. Shannon
was in Pima, the Graham county Democ-
raoy held their county convention, which
was characterized by great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Shannon says that the Arizona
Democracy will win sweeping victory
this fall with Hon. Marcus A. Smith as
their nominee for delegate. The territory
is solid for statehood, and will be ad-
mitted in all probability in December,
the enabling act being in exactly the same
position in the senate as the New Mexico
not.
