"Their nervousness causes much amuse-
ment among the British. 1t is quite GER
tain that half the Boer force is employed
watching by day and the other half by
night. Probably the consequent weari-
ness, with the scarcity of water and the
presence of typhoid, will render the Boer
position intolerable. Their present action
is due either to a scare or to wish TO
cover q retirement to Spyfontein."

INDIAN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Remarkable Percentages Of Increase fol
February As Compared with the Same
Month Of Last Year,

Agent N. S. Walpole, of the Pueblo
and Jicarilla agency, in this city, has
published a tabulated statement con-
tanning some very instructive figures,
showing a remarkable increase of
school attendance throughout the agen-
cy, the statement covering February of
this year as compared with the same
month in 1898. Fifteen schools are COW
cred, and in only n pueblo is there a
decrease shown, due to smallpox; and
even then the decrease is but 4 per cent.
The net increase in the agency schools
for the month was SO per cent. The in
creases were as follows: Acoma, 7O9 per
cent; Cochiti, 80 per cent; Isleta, 46 per
cent; Jemez, "a per cent; Laguna, AZ per
cent; Pahuate, AZ per cent; Santa Clara,
22 per cent; Santo Domingo, II per cent;
San Felipe, "A per cent; San Ildefonso,
1873 per cent: San Juan, 8 per cent; Taos
as per cent; Zia, 81 per cent. The school
at San Ildefonso was organized in
March, 1898, and comparison is made
with that month instead of with Feb
ruary.
The Indians are coming fast to appre-
ciate the advantages Of education, and
are pushing their children into the
schools as fast as the government can
take care of them.

LUMBER AND COAL TRADE
Prospects for Prosperous Year-Great Ac.
tivity in Building Lines--O. W. Dud-
rows Views on the Situation,

c. w. Dudrow, in a letter to the Amer
lean Lumberman. says concerning the
lumber and coal trade in New Mexico:
1.-The prospects for Il good year in the
lumber business could not be better and
the brisk condition of trade is largely
due to the unparalleled activity in New
Mexico mining. My yard in Cerrillos
has just received an order for rs, 900 feet
of lumber which will be used in the con-
struction of a new ore mill in the Ortiz
mountains and another for 400, 900 feet
from the same region is expected every
day. Nearly every city in the territory
is experiencing activity in the building
line and this condition gives the retail
dealers in all sections, a good trade.
The outlook for the lumber business has
never been better. Rough and CONNER
cial lumber has advanced rs cents and
81 per 1000 since January /. There has
been no advance in price on sash and
doors since the first Of the year.
1.-The coal business has been exceed
ingly good lately; in fact, much better
than during any preceding year, al
though the business has grown steadily
since the foundation of my business in
in 1881. The retail price for coal has
ranged at $4 for bituminous and 81 for
anthracite"
During the months of December, Jan
uary and February Mr.. Dudrow's retail
coal trade in Santa Fe amounted to a
car load per day.

A well-placed and we'll written adver-
tisement in your home paper at this
time of the year will surely bring you
trade. In all the large cities, as we'll as
in progressive smaller towns, business
men recognize the fact that the spring
trade, especially that of the months be-
fore and after Easter, is second only to
the Christmas trade, and in many
branches of business ever exceeds in
volume the Christmas trade. AT this
time Of the yea the advertising col
umns of the metropolitan papers are
crowded, for the shrewd business men
of the LARGE cities have long ago been
taught the fact that in order to get
business a merchant must advertise.
This is an age of competition, and the
merchant who advertises will surely
gobble up the best business of the mer-
chant who does not advertise.
