Josephus at the earliest oppor-

all right.
A rescue party was at once or
ganized at Salmon City, and
started out with full supply of
st. Jacobs Oil; and messengers
were also sent to Loon creek to
notify the people there to come
out and meet them. The Loon
creekers responded, and brought
hand -sleds, and laid the frost
stiffened bodies upon them and
took them into Hogle's saloon,
the favorite smiling" place of
the camp, stood up against the
wall, stripped and thoroughly
bathed in the Gil that brought
life to Juliann.
In about five minutes after the
first application Dick walked up
to the bar, cast a look around
over the crowd, and with his
usual generous smile and kindly
face, said ''It's my treat, boys,
what will you have % Every
body grasped him by the hand,
and every one in town smiled. :"

Josephus came to himself soon
after the others, and smiled
blandly and set up the wine and
gave an oyster supper. But he
was troubled all winter with
chillblains, while Jack and Dick
complained some of rheumatism.
To have everything come out
all right, Josephus Donks and
Miss Juliann were married the
following Fourth of July; and
they now live in the Lemhi val

Lemhi butter, with their brand
on it. The mule carrying Miss
Juliann's Saratoga containing
her wedding outfit, thawed out
in the spring and wandered
around into the Salmon valley in
time for the bridal goods to come
in good play. By this adven-
ture Jack and Dick were made
famous, but they were ever
afterward called "old stiffs" by
the people of Orc Grande.

ThanksgivingE Entertainments.

A Thanksgiving entertainment
was given at the church, in this

The building was crowded to

rare program by the children

the evening consisted of singing.

we're pleasing, instructive, and

some more deserving, were en-
cored more than others. We
would be pleased to make special

who are entitled to great credit,
but have not space to so do, be-

one or two children, and at the
same time not make mention Of
the children less deserving.

before attempting to mislead the public.
The line between Texas and New Mexico
when the latter came under American con-
troll was fixed on the 103d meridian west
of Greenwich, and that meridian, which
the Chieftain will probably admit is
pretty stable kind of a boundary, is still
the eastern boundary of New Mexico. Tn
1859, commission was appointed under
an act of congress to fix the line between
Texas and New Mexico along the meri-
dian. The commission finished their sur
vey in 1858. On March 8, 1891. the report of
that survey was confirmed by congress-
and that is the long and short of the
whole matter. The disreputable methods
adopted by the Chieftain and other Re-
publican papers to discredit Mr.. Joseph
in the eyes of the public will, it is safe to
say, be repudiated not only by solid
Democratic vote at the polls next month,
but also by thousands of Republicans
who, disgusted with the campaign and the
candidate of the Catron club, will rally to
the standard of the party of progress.

dition at present under the recent tariff
law than it was year ago under the Nc
Kinley tariff. A year ago wool growers
were getting as low as cents q pound
for their wool. A few days ago, man
who got that figure twelve months eince
disposed of his entire 1894 clip here at
81 cents pound. The average price this
year is, the gentleman said, from $l.75 to
1925 per hundred more than it was in
1898. The best feature of the situation, too,
is the fact that the indications all point to g
further marked increase within the next
three months.

call it, the boundary line? Mr.. Joseph,
how much was paid, and who byf-So-

Mi. CatrOn and the Miners.

There is no more pronounced enemy of
the New Mexico miner than Thomas B. Cat
ron, who is now seeking to 60 to congress
by tho votes of the very people whom he
outraged. In the courts and out of them,
for the past twenty-five years, all the
ability Mr.. Catron is credited with has
been e1erted forcibly against the pros
pector and miner. He is the claimant of
several million broad acres of grants,
much of which is mineral land, and for
this reason he is known to be opposed to
the Joseph measure for throwing open
the mineral lands on grants to the pros
pector and miner. This is't the chief mo-
tive in the desperate struggle he is max
ing to force his way into the halls Of con-
gress.
In the Canon del Aqua and San Pedro
grant cases, as in all others, we find Mr.
Catron allied against the miner. 1t was
he who caused the arrest of the San Pc.
dro miners and their imprisonment for q
lengthy period in the county Jail at Santa
Fe. 1t was he who characterized the
miners of Cerrillos and Golden as "pau
pers and tramps." Although he con.
trolled the legislatures of this territory
Tor quarter of century, he has never
been instrumental in putting beneficial
mining law on the atute books. How
then can any self respecting miner vote
fer hims The miner or prospector who
would vote for Thomas B. Catron would
prove recreant to all his own best inter
est. Mr.. Catron has as much use for the
miner or prospector as the devil has
for holy acknowledgements Democrat

I A GOOD SHOWING,

Bradstreet's report for the nine months
ending October l, shows twenty-eight
business failures in New Mexico during
that period, against the same number for
the same period of 1898. The total as
sets in this years failures, however, were
only $23,700 against $61,4O4 liabilities;
while in 1898 the assets in tho failures
aggregated S624,0l2 against $8O9,200
liabilities. The great decrease in the
amount involved makes fine showing
for the business interests of the territory.

Mr.. Joseph has done all that was pos

The Best Line East,

Is unquestionably the Burlington route.
In point of equipment, time and service
it is conceded to be superior to all other
lines.
The fast vestibuled "fyer" leaving
Denver daily at 8 p. M, reaches Chicago
at 500 a. IN. and St. Louis at 1920 a. m,
the second morning, in ample time to
connect with all fast trains for the east
and south.
1t is also fact worth remembering
that the Burlington is the only line run
ming through trains over it's own tracks
from Denver to Chicago and st. Louis
without change of any class of cars.

Too Tough to Tackle.

Catron's character and political methods
are little too tough for some Repub
lican papers to discuss or defend, and
therefore they pirate solemnly about
principles" The Las Vegas Optic, for
example, says:
"It's not Catron, the man, so much as
the principles he advocates and maintains
that will land him in the national halls of
legislation"
The principles Catron maintains are
more likely to land him in the peniten-
tiary. Catron, the man, is inseparable
from Catron the neutrality-suspicious.
