SURVEYS ON LAS VEGAS GRANT.
To the Editor of the Optic.

To the Editor Of the Optic.
EAST Las VEGAS, May 18th, 1896 =
With regard to the government survey
which is now being made in this city
as referred to IN Saturday evenings
Optic, | want to ask, Who are those
in position to know; what do they
know, and what is the source of their
informationP
Instead of intimating that a terrible
fate is awaiting the city, why can they
not state, in plain and unmistakable lam
guage, just what they know about il
This much-threatened populace should
insist on actual, positive, undisputed
evidence being produced TO support the
assertions that are made in order to
get signatures to a petition. If there
IS anything legitimate in the petition
that is being circulated, why can 1t not
be clearly and boldly statedP
The Optic of April 21st noted that
the mayor had appointed a committee
of councilmen and citizens, with him
self as chairman, "to look after the
matter of the U. S. survey being made
within the limits of the city"
On May Cd, the paper noted that the
committee had met and appointed a
committee to circulate a petition to be
presented to the secretary of the inte-
rior, asking HIM ito look into the
methods used in this survey"
Then, on Saturday, the 10th, itsaid:
s'Those in position to know claim that
If this survey is allowed to stand it will
be the worst calamity that has ever
visited the place." etc.
From this, we may suppose that
ssthose in position" foresee a terrible
devastation alb ut to visit the town,
compared with which the siege Of Jeru-
was but a small affair.
On last Thursday, Councilman Ho.-
lIDgsworth took his turn 1t soliciting
to the petition, which is to
be presented to the secretary of the in
terror. At 4 O'Clock In the afternoon,
hat day ! mot Mr. aaaa |
askec to see the petition, and he de-
med having it at that time; but said
The import of it vas that the secretary
Of the interior would be requested to

VeY until. the decision OF the courts
be had on the grant que stion.
Something more than two years ago,
! petition somewhat similar to this was
prepared and carried around town,
'ab rosa, by one of the prominent citi-
lens, and signatures obtained by state
nents which were at variance with the
ruth. At intervals, underbnnded,
Malicious filings have appeared in print,

A DISEASE TO BE DREADED.

AS one OF the results OF the many
changes In the weather in New Mex
leo OF late, pneumonia has been I'M.
usually prevalent throughout The whole
Territory, In somo localities swelling
the death rate largely. 1t is n of
the most fatal ills that flesh is heir to
in this climate, and is one of the be-
setting dangers to be guarded against
at this season, and especially with such
sudden changes as we are experiencing
this year. 1t is insiduous ana sudden
In its advance, dangerous In its at
tacks, and, IN a majority of cases,
fatal in Its results.
nr. Alonzo Clark, Of the New York
college Of physicians and surgeons, in
discoursing upon it, says that of the
persons over seventy who are attacke d
by it, those who survive can be counted
on ones fingers, while but few over
fifty ever recover from a severe attack.
Those who have the most reason to
fear and guard against it are the aged,
the dissipated, and those whose physi-
cal condition 10 greatly reduced by
lack Of proper nourishment, overwork
or mental anxiety. It's attacks are not
confined to these classes, However, for
it is not in%frequently the case that it
siezes upon and overthrows the appar-
emily most vigorous.
To guard against the dangers of this
disease, every person should sedulously
observe the rules of health and be es-
pecially careful about taking cold.
Even the slightest cold contracted by a
person of low vitality-and tae physical
forces of nearly everyone are more or
less exhausted at this season-may ter
inmate in pneumoni,. One of the
greatest dangers in this direction lulks
in the sunshine aud balmy air that is
liza BILE to prevail for a few hours at a
time during the present month, and
which is almost invariably followed by
a cutting, chilling atmosphere-par-
ticularly at night. During these warn
periods, there is a strong temptation to
change the heavy underclothing OF
winter for something lighter. This H.
clination should in every instance be
resisted. 1t is bitter ard safer to suffer
somewhat from excess of warmth than
to incur the danger from cold. Upon
the accepted theory that 'sheat is life
and cold is death, +" the danger to health
and life lies in c,ld. 1t is therefore
wise TO stick to warm dress and warm
surroundings until every danger is
passed, and the warmth of sum-
has come TO stay. II will not be
long.

may be hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do wonders
10 chasing from her bow all clouds of
gloom.-ro this we would add always

JUDGE j. b. Ii. HEMINGWAY, United
States attorney for the district Of New
Mexico, who departed this life at
Santa Fe, yesterday afternoon, was
above the average lawyer 10 ability, a
little slow in his manner of procedure,
a genuine gentleman in every respect
and had secured about as many con-
victions at the bar of justice as any Of
his predecessors in office. 1t is not
unlikely that his assistant, Geo. B..
Money, will be appointed to serve out
the unexpired term of the deceased.
