view, Kas., were in this section late ly,
euroute through this section to buy

Ed Smack brought two-year-old
Saturday. The animal tipped the
scales until they registered 1894
pounds, and shod it would have gone
to 1000. San Juan county is not con-
fined to fruit growing. Stock raising
is not at all a slow scheme in this coun-
try.-San Juan County Index.
At last accounts the train from the
west which should have reached here
at 1925 Sunday night was marked up
at 3 o'clock this morning with last
nights train indefinitely late. The
cause of delay was said to have been
the washing out of about five miles of
track just beyond Peach Springs, AriZ.
This washout was passed by Sundays

Messrs. Cooper & Dustin have re-
ceived letter from the B. F. Coombs
& Bro. Commission company of Kan
sss City, Mo, inquiring if they could
get any apples here if they should
come in. The apple buyers from all
over the country are vying with each
other to get our apples, but it seems
that the Porter Bros. of Chicago have
an established trade for the high class
fruit that we produce and are offering
the best prices.-San Juan Times.
James A. Laughren, of Pennington,
was in town. Mr.. Laughren is buying
apples for Porter Bros, of Chicago,
and his presence in Aztec is, therefore,
easily accounted for. He is prepared
to purchase the entire crop in the
county, and at good figures. Apples
are up, and Mr.. Laughreu anticipates
that they will command as high as a
cent q pound in the orchards. Fruit
growers with apples to sell will do well
to see him.-Ssn Juan Co. Index.
While south, Governor Prince visit
ed the canning establishment of Theo-
dore Roualt and also extensive tomato
field. Mr.. Roualt has this year over
200 acres of tomatoes and in order to
irrigate them and be independent of
the uncertain acequia supply, has con-
structed q lake over half mile in
length, from which he is now water
ing his fields. The picking of the crop
commenced this morning and will be
continued regularly till frost.-New
Mexican.
The following opinion concerning
teachers Institutes explains itself:
Hon. JnO. Franklin, District Attor-
ney. Eddy, N. M.-Dear Sir: Yours of
18th asking my opinion on section 1913
of Compiled Laws, 1897, and whether it
is.lawful for the school directors to
employ as a teacher q person other
wise qualified who has not attended the
county normal institute is received, and
in reply would say that my predeces-
sor on the 18th of August last gave an
opinion upon this subject to the super
intendent of public instruction, in
{ which he held THAT the law in question
not carrying with it a penalty in terms,
no such penalty could be enforced as a
refusal to employ a teacher for that
reason. | agree with him TO the extent
} that it would not be unlawful for
the school directors to employ teach
err who had failed to attend the county
normal institute. that is to say. that
the school directors would incur no
! penalty for such employment and the
contract would be lawful. But the in
tent of the law providing the normal
institutes and the attendance of teach
ers thereon, as preliminary to en-
ployment as such. is so manifest, and
the gOOu derived from Sucn institutes
and the attendance of teachers there
on, as preliminary to employment as
t such, is so manifest, aud the good de-
' rived from such Institutes and the ben
efits to teachers and pupils so great,
, that the school authorities throughout
, the territory should endeavor to carry
, out it's provisions in the interest of the
public school system.
/ Very respectfully,
EDWARD l.. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General of New Mexico.
