40 YEARS THE STANDARD.
Purdue university at Lafayette, Ind, in
1880, becoming for three years student
of that institution. For short time
thereafter Mr.. Bunker was travelling
salesman In Kansas and Nebraska, but In
1886, after a course in law, he was admit
ted to the bar at Newcastle, Ind. About
that time he came to New Mexico and was
appointed as deputy clerk of the district
court at Las Vegas under Col. R. M. John
son. In November, 1883, he was appoint
ed clerk of that court, q position he held
until June 2, 1890, when he became
member of the law firm of Long, Fort &
Bunker. This firm was dissolved in Oc-
tober, 1891, since which time Mr.. Bunker
has been practiclng his profession at Las
Vegas. About that date one of the hap
piest events of his life occurred in his
marriage to Miss Lydia J. Peck, of Mer-
ced, Cal. Mr.. Bunker has, since his ap-
pearance in public life in the present
council, won many friends by his genial
disposition and his fidelity to the prin-
clples of true friendship. He is often
called to the chair in the temporary ab-
sence of President Curry, and he fulfills
with grace and impartiality the trying
duties of the position. He has brought
into legislative halls all that industry
which, with his native talents, has won
him such marked success at the bar, and
his many friends predict that his public
record, when completed at this session,
will furnish a most forcible argument
why he should be kept at the front by his
people in the future.

Sawdust has been distributed upon the
council floor with the view to lessening
the shock to senatorial ears of the tread
of the third house, it's friends and ac.
quaintances.
Councilman Hadley is rapidly gaining
the reputation of being "the watch dog of
the treasury" There is no more careful
representative on either floor of the as
, sembly.
It has been acknowledged and re-
marked by many persons that Mr.. Zim-
norman, of Las Vegas, stands unrivaled
in being the most efficient, capable aud
able journal clerk of any that have occu-
pied that position in any of the previous
legislatures held in this territory
Ration Reporter.
The house members, in the absence OF
other business, got decidedly gay yester-
day afternoon and whiled away quarter
of an hour or more in trying to get
themselves into a parliamentary tangle
They succeeded 30 admirably that mo-
tion to adjourn came in the nature of a
relief.
While Councilman Curry is strongly in
l favor of the Hinkle bill, he caused to-day
l to be presented fairly and fully to the
council the views of the citizens of Ration
: adverse to that measure. President
: Curry is nothing, if not fair; and he
never allows his personal views to inter-
3 fere with his duties as representative
of the people.
The bill allowing attorneys to practice

elapsed from declaration of citizenship
q passed the house yesterday. As the bill
has already passed the council, the gov
errors veto is its only remaining danger

first beneficiary under the new law, is
