GORTNER INTERVIEWED IN ST. LOUIS
The Junior Member of the Law Firm
of Catron, Spless & Gortner
Thinks That the Borregos
Will Hang.

Bob Gortner has been east and agair
had himself interviewed in the news
papers, giving New Mexico black-eye
as usual. Two years ago, while on a visit
to Indiana, this same young sprig of q
lawyer told the newspapers that "only the
Mexicans and ignorant element" of New
Mexico's popnlaca voted the Democratic
ticket and that "Catron had the solid sup
port of the better class, all honest and
Intelligent people," ETC., etc. In the light
Of this fact our readers will quite under

ANNOUNCEMENT.
The management of the Santa Fe route,
desirous of increasing the business of
the company, and also of furtherlng the
prosperity of those whose homes are in
the territory served by It's lines, has or
ganized an industrial department, whose
object will be to assist, as far as it can
properly do so, in the development of
local resources and the establishment of
new industries at points where favorable
opportunities for such industries exist.
It will not take any financial interest in
the proposed industries, as it will have
no money to invest or cash to contribute,
nor will it foster or favor any proposi-

business basis; but it is proposed to CO.
operate with the people in any legiti-

What brings about the end of books! Ts it fire, water, worms? As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the fnis of the book is it's reduction to ashes. What be- came of tho Alexandrian library? Did the SaraeeDs burn it in GAO? There is this question asked: Was there any h- brary at Alexandria containing 700, 900 books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion that there was n0 such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been q library it was burned in the time of Ju- lius Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate, however, that there was a library Ill the serapeum, by no means a large col lection, but whether destroyed hy The ophilus OF TLeodosius is not known.

Women as Shipping Clerks.

One of New York's biggest dry goods merchants demonstrates his faith in woman executive ability. From base ment to roof his establishment is almost entirely under feminine control.
 The delivery department WAS the first one intrusted to the care of the gentler sex, it's success inviting others to follow. The young woman slsI Ieriatordent is rot masculine in her appearance. She has entire charge of this department engag- ing and disoharging help at her pleas ure. She is personally responsible to the firm for the correct delivery of all goods purchased in the store.
 Directly under her supervision como IS delivery wagons, as many drivers and between 25 and 8e boys There are also number of shipping clerks assist. ing her in various ways and between 10 and 12 packers.
 Personally she must arrange the routes and assign them to the drivers, listen to all complaints and smooth out difficult ties arising therefrom. Withal she is a very unassuming little person.
 "You know, I am merely Q wage earner that's all Yes, believe my place is rather unusual, but not more so than many of the other young women's here, :" were her replies to questions. I have complete charge of my department, but do not find the work too laborious. Of course I employ as many of my own sex as possible, and things generally run very smoothly. Women are moro reliable, I believe, in their business re- lations than men. That is why they are preferred here ;

TRAPPING CROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the wiIv
 Birds


 Birds.
 Crows are trapped and sald to snorts. men for shooting matches, usually bring. Ing Sl0 per 100, but, like other things when scarce they bring more.
 It IS no simple matter to tran crows Tor the crow is willy bird, and tooatob hlm ln a mt set for that purpose re- qulres skill, and patience as well, but the hunger of the crow is always the sfapper's s greatest aid. One man alone would mako but little headwav catching crows and would probably sit all day in hls little bough house ready to snrinp hls net, but the crows would give his bait wide berth because they wouId know that he was there.
 After placing the carcass of some ami maj on Q field the net is set close to if by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hrng fiat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs. and a line run 50 yards or more to a house bnilt of boughs, where the trap per is secreted.
 Another carcass is usually laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no net set. Tho trappers, usually two in num- Der, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows be- g1a to assemble on the fields one of them goes ot.t and walks away. The crows, seeing him leave, grow a little bolder and approach the bait in ones and twos but atop only long enough to get beak- ful of tho flesh and fly off again. The carcass N here there is no net set is of ceqrso tho best patronized, but the trap per OH tle outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with. out going to the ono where the net is, After awhile their hunger gets the bet ter of their judgment or their fear, and they g&tEcr on the carcass where the net is. This is the opportunity of the man ill the bopgh house, who, with q vigorous pull on the line, springs the net over them. Quick work must be done then by the trappers, who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crows from crawling cut at the ends and the front, where 1t is not staked fast to the ground, With their hands covered with stout buckskin gloves, to keep the crows from biting an9 scratching them, the captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried o1f the field From 10 to 60 are frequently caught at one pull, but it is rare thing to get more than two springs of tho net in ono day.-Phila. delphia Record.
