Specials to the News announce that j.
j. Hagerman has secured $2,000,000 for
the purpose of extending the Peoos val
ley road from its present terminus at
Roswell to Pan Handle City in Texas.
This is i'm mportant information, as this ex-
tension will give Denver more direct
connection with the Pecos valley and
Eddy than it now possesses.
Pan Handle City is the southwestern
terminus Of the Oklahoma branch of the

can be made for st. Louis and the east
over the Santa Fe and Frisco lines, and
for Denver and the north over the Gull

and valuable trade territory to the mer-
chants and manufacturers of this city.
To the Pecos valley this line will be OF
still greater Importance. That region
has long needed an outlet for it's prod

tension aud which fortunately strikes q
point where it will have the benefit of the

A. W. THOMPSON, RECEIVER At CLAYTON

A few days ago A. W. Thompson, of
Clayton, was appointed receiver of pub
lie moneys of the U. s. land Office in that
town. There we're two local candidates
for the position, Mr.. Thompson and Mr..
Mateo Lujan. They we're both strongly
indorsed in Union county and in the ter
ritory, and the rivalry between them was
friendly one, as they are social and po-
litical friends
The newly appointed official is young
man about 33 years of age, native of
Belfast, Me-, and graduate of the Belfast
high school, and has also attended Colo
RADIO college at Colorado Springs. In
1884 he moved to Clayton, Union county,
and went into the ranohing business, be-
ing interested commercially also in town.
He is successful businessman, courteous,
energetic, and enjoying the respect
and confidence of the people of the dis
trict, as citizen and as man. He is
strong Republican and has done good
service for his party in the last three
campaigns in northeastern New Mexico,
serving on the Republican county com
mittee, and running for county treasurer
in the 1894 campaign. The Republicans
elected their county ticket IN that cam.
paign, but were swindled out of the fruits
of their victory by dishonest election Of
fcials, and some very reprehensible legal
chlcanery.
Mr.. Thompson's appointment is very
satisfactory to the people of the district,
and to the Republicans of the territory.
He had strong eastern backing, as for in
stance, Senators HawleY and Platt, of
Connecticut, and Senators Fry and Hale,
of Maine.
| From Mr.. Thompson's record, reputa-
tion and antecedents, the New MEXICAN
believes that he will prove oom petent,
faithful and courteous official and will
give entire satisfaction as suoh to the
government and to the people.

attract sufficient attention to satisfy the
beginner.
When you arrive on the grounds, you
will remember what you have come for.
In case you forget some one will probably
remind you that it wasn't to stand in his

two you will be able to hit the ball and
land it into some bystander's mouth, and
then, oh, JOY!
Never pick up your ball in your hand,
drop it, in hole when nobody is looking
and then shout, "By Jove, just look at
this beautiful shot of mine!' 1t is gener-

of the game is thus described:
First.--It is considered very bad form
for player or spectator to talk, move or
breathe within 40 miles of the ball when q
stroke is being made. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the earth stops spinning
around on its axis when a game OF golf is
going on for fear of jogging the player.
Second.-Players should not appear ON
the grounds with golf stockings previously
worn while bicycle riding. This would be
an outrage on the dignity OF the game. A

CHRISTMAS.

More than IS centuries ago new
doctrine was proclaimed to the world in
words, "And on earth peace, good will
toward men," For more than l8 cen-
turtles that doctrine has waged ceaseless
battle with the powers of darkness until
it has been heard in every quarter of the
globe.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the
heraldipg to men of peace and good will,
ant in every country the day will be cele-
brated as feast day, day of manifest
ing that good will, one to another. In
civilized lands Christmas is the one day
of the year when amin osities are set aside,
when happiness and good cheer drive dull
care and thoughts of life's heavy burdens
away. No matter how humble the home,
how depleted the purse, or how abjeot
the poverty a brighter ray of light
reaches the heart of every one, and that
grand chorus of angel voices sings to all
"Gory to God in the highest, and on
ea,ta peace, good will toward men,"
Unfortunately, it is not the lot of every
one to fe asst and send tokens of good will
and love, for Eye have the poor always

Christmas comes as tine when the

coNcEl1 CLOTHED IN UNIFORMS.

A short time ago the country was en-
tertained in a pleasant manner by the
accounts of the brutality of Captain Low.
ering, at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, in
his treatment of private soldier. Low
ering was tried and sentenced to repri-
mand, and the incident was thought to
be closed. But recent developments 60
to prove that the officers at Fort Sheri-
dan are resorting to a petty persecution
of all the witnesses examined in the
Lowering hearing, and dispatches say
that "Oharles Waddles, a witness in the
case, has discovered that the atmosphere
of Fort Sheridan is not particularly agree
able for common soldier" nice state
of affairs.
The truth of the matter Is, Lowering
deserved dishonora5le discharge from
the service, and should have then been
tried in the criminal courts for assault
with intent to kill, the same as any brutal
man in private life. The fact that man
is an officer in the regular army does not
make him any bottor than his class In
civil life. There is much snobbishness
among the officers of the army which
does not become them, nor does it re-
feet any credit on the country they
serve. soldiers life is none too pleas
ant at best. For men in the ranks to be
bullied and mistreated by tYrannical
superiors, not only makes the life harder
to endure, but renders the tack of re-
cruiting most difficult one, inesmuch
that the better element of the young
men in the country will no longer en-
list.
1t is quite fad with congressman and
senators to introduce reformatory meas
ures in congress-, measures which are
of no practical benefit, and some of
the statesmen can make themselves very
useful to the government by turning
that fad in the direction of the. army,
overhsuling the greater part of the
regulations. A thorough stirring up and
airing would do the service good. The
average commissioned army officer in the
lower ranks is composed of two parts
conceit and one part uniform, and the
uniform would be worth much more in
actual service if the conceit were punched
| out of it.

A STRANGE ISLAND.
Where the Higher the Altitude the
MiIder the Climate.

Saghalien, on the eastern coast of
Siberia, presents a very curious
anomaly of climate. The island is
bathed by two cold ocean currents,
and in winter nothing pro
tects it against the icy northwest
winds coming from Siberia At the
sea-level the snow falls continually,
and stays on the ground till the end
of May and the seashore is very
cold Farther inland, however, es-
pecially as we go higher up, the
climate is modifed-just the OPP
posite to what is observed else
where. 1t has often been observed
in Siberia and in central Europe
that in winter the cold is greater in
the plains and the valleys, and that
the highlands have sensibly milder
temperature; it is as if the denser
cold air accumulated in the low
lands. This fact is very often OBJ
served in our climate; there are
several very good examples of it; all
the trees and shrubs of valley
have been known to be killed by
frost, while above certain level,
very clearly marked out, on the hill
or the mountain, the vegetat ton has
not suffered at ALL The cold air
often flows from the SUBMITS to-
wards their bases. This is what
takes place at Saghalien. The cold
air accumulates in the low regions
of the island and on the coast the
higher regions have more elevated
temperature. So it happens that
the lower parts have an
arctic vegetation while the fnter-
mediate attitudes have the vegeta-
ton of temperate zone, some
times subtropical. The
birch, the ash, the pine, the fir,
abound in the low regions and
form often impenetrable forests, but
toward the center of the island APP
pear bamboos, hydrangeas, azalias
and other plants that one is greatly
surprised to meet, and whose pres
ence can be explained only by the
altogether abnormal climatic condi-
tions of the island Cosmos.
