ALAMOGORDO LIGHTED.
Supplied With Modern and Model Equip
ment for Lighting the CITY.

That Alamogordo, a town not yet one
year old, should be lighted by electricity
mas caused much favorable comment by
visitors, land has also been a great on
yenience to the residents. Since a num-
Der of needed improvements have just
been completed in the plant, a brief de-
scription of the works may prove of in
terest.
The works are located at the sawmill,
and are owned and operated by the Ala
mogordo Lumber Company. The pri-
mary object in installing such a plant
was to light the mills for night work,
and the lighting Of the city was thus
made possible at small expense to both
the company and the people. The plant
consists of a thirty-Kilowatt machine,
or engine of the marine type, connected
direct to a multipolar generator, or
dynamo, of 261 amperes. Both these
machines are new and were run for the
first time Monday evening. The steam
comes from the sawmill boilers, which
are Of $50 horsepower.
This equipment has a capacity of 500
lights, while over 300 are now in use.
There are about thirty arc lights, eight
cen of which are used at the mills, and
the balance are placed on the streets of
the city, and a few in business houses.
Three hundred incandescent lights are
in use in private residences and places
of business. Wires have been strung to
all parts of the city, and 1t is an easy
matter to place additional lights when
required. The plant is under the super
vision of w. p. Styron, who Is doing
everything possible to give Alamogordo
the best electric light service in the en-
tire southwest.-Alamogordo News.

those cities based on properties in Ari-

will soon be forgotten unless the Arizo-

He appears to have the faculty
of doing the right thing at the right
time. Many a man, if he had received
the ovations accorded this official by his

president whom the people desire to be
president for one more term.

There is likelihood that the State Uni
versity of Colorado will have to close
its doors because there is no fund to pay
expenses. Colorado is suffering from
too much fusion. She had an incompe-
tent, %wrangling job lot Of legislators,
composed Of Populists and silver freaks
from the other parties, that accom-
plished nothing except the enactment of
a labor law that has closed the shelters
and put 10000 men out of work. The
state was left without funds to do bust
ness, with an assessment law that is in
adequate to raise the necessary revenue.
The next election should see Colorado
return to the Republican ranks, for all
her woes and disgrace have come since
she went astray politically.

IT IS THE OPINION OF THE MA
JORITY.

JORITY.
albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
The Santa Fe New Mexican reads the
Ell Paso Times a very pointed II we'll
deserved lecture upon he dog-in-the-
manger spirit which Ell Paso has shown
in connection with the irrigation and
water rights of New Mexico heretofore.
The New Mexican's structures are rath-
er severe, but they are absolutely just
and express very correctly the opinion
of a large majority of those persons in
New Mexico who are interested in this
matter.
Nevertheless, if Ell Paso has seen the
error of it's ways and is now willing to
go to work in the right manner for the
accomplishment of an end fraught with
so much interest to all the people of this
valley, we are willing to let by-gones be
by-gones, and join with the people OF
that town or any other in the futher-
ance of an object which is of vital inter-
est to all Of us.
Santa Fe is comparatively %independ-
ent in this matter, for she has a reliable
water supply Of her own which can not
be cut off or diminished by the people
of any other section, but for the people
living in the Rio Grande valley, from
White Rock canyon to Ell Paso, better
means of irrigation must be provided,
and that very soon, or u farms will
have to be abandoned.

FOR A GOOD SCHOOL BUILDING.

FOR A GOOD SCHOOL BUILDING.
(Raton Range.)
This district has never built a school
house and has no bonded indebtedness.
The $4,000 proposed, with the $40, 900 al
ready voted, will give Ration two credit
able school buildings and adequate
school facilities. If the additional build
ing is not erected the board will be COM
PEELED to borrow money to maintain five
rooms in the most primitive fashion.
And this to the detriment of u city
and the boosted enterprise of its citi-
zens.
Can any public-spirited citizen afford
to oppose the bond proposition, after
considering the cost of failure to pro-
vide necessary school facilities and that
ultimately we will owe as much for the
Indifferent and insufficient makeshifts
as a good building would cost?
The business mar well knows that the
additions to our schools that this bond
issue would make will be worth fifty
additional families to our population.
The man of moderate means and the
poor mar who have children to educate
feel that their children are entitled to
the best that can be obtained in an ed
ucational way, and will be unanimous
in their support of the bond issue.

Cor the purpose of subjugation or eman-
cipation." To this the Massachusetts
republicans offered a resolution which
pledged unwavering and unconditional
support to the national government in
its effort to suppress the rebellion. On
the issue thus joined $4,000 democrats
fell away from their party and the re-
publican candidate for governor was
elected by a majority of 41,276.
In Ohio in 1863 the democrats made
an issue of sedition by denouncing the
Lincoln administration for the arrest of
Nallandigham. On that issue, in the
largest vote ever polled in that state,
the republican candidate for governor
obtained a ajority of 101, ,095. In New
York in 1863 the democratic convention
protested against the arrest of Nallan-
digham, and recommended a policy of
Cancellation and the suspension of hos
tilities. The democrats had all the ma
chinery of election in their hands, but
upon this issue Chauncey NJ. Depew, re-
publican, was elected secretary of state
by a ma jority of 29,405, whereas Gov.
Seymour, democrat, had been elect
| ed in 1862 by majority of 1O,74S.
In every state in which the copper
head issue was presented in 1868 the
people sustained the union or repub-
Lean candidates. In Illinois the cop
| perhead spirit was shown in the action
of the democratic Legislature which was
sent home by Gov. Yates. In Indiana
the Indiana legislature attempted to
retard the organization of Indiana regi-
ments by tying the hands of the gov
| ernor. At the next election in 1864 the
republicans carried Indiana by ma jor-
ity of 2O,SS3 and Illinois by a majority
of 31,675.
Copperheadism in 1863 ostentatiously
offered sympathy for the rebels, derided
the president, opposed the war policy,
resisted the draft, described the union
soldiers as vandals and hirelings, and
intrigued with traitors in Canada who
were plotting to defeat American armies
in the field. Copperheadism in 1899 en-
courages the rebels in the Philippines,
vilifies the president, repudiates the war
! policy, endeavors to excite mutiny in
the army, strives to prevent enlistments,
| describes American soldiers as murder
e-s, and incites the traitors and pirates
in Hong Kong and Manila to destroy
American influence.
Not one thing advocated by the cop
perheads of 1863 came to pass. Every
thing that they opposed triumphed.
And yet they were stronger-ten times

Bnried In Style.

Bazzel Foster, Indiana's famous wom-
an hater, has been laid to rest at cost
of $1,7O0. His corpse lies in coffin
mounted in gold which cost $500 and
his funeral was probably the most ex-
pensive and "swelr' ever carried out in
Indiana by a man of private life, says
an Attica exchange. He was miser in
life, Il lord in death. The coffin was
constructed under his special orders,
and was an exact duplicate of the one
in which President Garfield was laid
away and was made by the same men.
The cost was $500 at the factory.
Every cab in Attica and surrounding
cities was engaged by the miser before
he died, and everybody, including the
women, whom he hated worse than
snakes, had free ride. The grave in
Beulah cemetery was lined with the
finest broadcloth decorated with eX-
pensive roses and smilaX. Foster was
the most eccentric man in Indiana with
out exception. No woman hater ever
reached the thirty-third degree he at
tanned. He was 62 years of age.
When youth, 40 years ago, he was
disappointed in love affair. 1t soured
him on women, and he turned TO
amassing a fortune. He had the old
homestead. He locked the gates against
women, and it is claimed that for over
90 years no woman entered. He did his
own work, and would not even let Il
woman mend his clothing, and he wore
them threadbare. He was q great stu
dent of the Bible, and had it down pat"
on the woman question and could prove
by it that they were a curse. He
amassed a fortune and then arranged
the great funeral to advertise to the
women that here, at least, had died one
man whom they could not control.

A man who says he has never sinned
has been found in New York. He is
George Remke, driver for milk COM
pany. Remke saw an old woman steal
two bottles of milk, valued at ten cents,
from doorway, and appeared in the
Harlem court against her. The culprit
who showed plainly the lack of nourish-
ment, said she stole the milk because
she was hungry. Remke, when asked
by the magistrate if he had ever done
anything wrong, said no. The judge
told him he was an exceptional man.
and said the court would pay for the
milk, if necessary. Remke was shamed
into saying that he did not want any
pay and finally decided not to press his
complaint against the prisoner. The
woman was given a dollar by the judge
and sent away.
