The county commissioners decided
last evening to give the contract TO
supplying the county with coal to the

The Babbit claim against Yslets
was referred to the county Judge.
Mr.. Storms bill for $40 for fee:

ed.
The board decided to award the con
tract for stationery supplies to George
D. Barnard & Co. of St. Louis, although
there were two Ell Paso firms ready to
take the contract and do the work.
The St. Louis bid was S414 against
S4l6 by the Times company of this city
and 1892 20 by the Hull Printing COM
pany. But it seems that the call was
for lithograph work, and the Ell Paso
firms thought it was for straight print
ing The Times says today:
Men who, in private life. were con-
tent to pay their own money for cheap
home printing are not satisfied with
anything short of metropolitan litho-
graph work with pictures on it, as soon
as they get into Office and the tax
payers have to buy the stationery. The
vote of the home laboring man is good
enough to boost them into office, but
the work he is justly entitled to is sent
away to give employment to men in
other cities-to build industries in St
Louis which do not pay dollar taxes
in Ell Paso county"
The Times calls for home printers to
stop bidding on any more Ell Paso
county work: then to pool on the coun-
ty advertising, and let one paper do 1t,
as the county commissioners cannot
send their county advertising to St.
Louis.
Commissioner Courchesne says that
the Times got things wrong: that 1t was
the Times that bid S416 and was for
straigh printing, while the St. Louis
firm bid S4l4 for photographic works

Times has taken such high stand in
the line of criticism, why it did not
criticise the purchase six years ago, of
that 50 acres of land by the county from
the nephew of Juan Armendariz. a pur-
chase that has proven anything but
profitable to the county.
The bill of George Parker OF S43 80
for recording bonds was disallowed.
The bill of S400 from Zenos B. Clardy
for legal services to the Ysleta corpo-
ration was allowed-with 5000 chopped
off and in general fund scrip at that
from the Ysleta fund.
The county Judge and Messrs. Cour-
chesne and Robinson were appointed
committee to fix the salaries of county
Officers for the next two years.
Messrs. Courchesne and Smith were
appointed a committee to secure a
house in the city for use as a county
hospital, with the idea of abandoning
the poor farm.
The bill of T. S. Kerr for $3.50 was
allowed.

Governor Thornton, OF New Mexico,
tells Denver reporter: ''The con-
struction of two railroads. which are
now under consideration, that from Ell
Paso to the neighborhood of White
Oaks, and that from Roswell, on the
Pecos, to Amarillo, Texas, will be of
the greatest Importance to the terri
tory. The former will tap an exceed
lngly rich mineral country and will
open some of the finest coal deposits in
the world. New Mexico has some very
tine coal measures, the veins being
very large and the coal of excellent
quality. The mining interests in the
White Oaks district are already very
large. and with the advent of the rail-
road from Ell Paso, they will be very
largely Increased: as there is a vast
quantity of ore in properties as yet un-
developed. which can not be shipped
yet on account of the heavy transporta-
tion charges. The opening of the
road will eventually lead to the erec-
tion of smelters in the coal district.
which is only a mparatively short
distance from the mines. Mr. Eddy
the promoter of this enterprise, is now
in Europe, and L am informed that he
has succeeded in making arrangements
for the completion of the road'

Removing the Poor Farm.

County Judge Harper called the at
tention of the county commissioners
this morning to the amount of medical
attendance at the poor house, and the
system generally on which Ell Paso
county carried on its pauper econo-
mics.
This brought out Mr.. Courchesne,
who declared it was all a mistake
to have poor farm for the county.
What was really needed was g hospi-
tai, and that might be obtained by
securing so much of old Fort Bliss as
might be necessary. There must have
been some peculiar reason for locating
a poor farm at such distance from
town. The county physician sometimes
did not visit it for two months, there
was not an acre of the place really
suitable for tillage, and if it was, there
was not pauper in the poor
house fit to cultivate the land. Mr..
COurchesne was for throwing up the
poor farm and starting a hospital
enterprise in town.
Mr.. Robinson was his compadre as to
the advantage to be gained by the
suggested change, and said there was
| no doubt but that the poor farm was
| located in that out of the way place in
| consequence of deal of some kind.
| But he doubted if the county was able
to make the desired change just now,
| and savOred waiting until times were Il
| little easier. The majority in the
| board were evidently of the opinion
! that it would be better to secure hOspi-
| tai accOmmOd atiOnS in town.
