GOOD SELECTIONS.
(San Marcial Bee.)

Ex-Governor l.. B. Prince has been
chosen president and Colonel Max. Frost
secretary of the Territorial Bureau of
immigration, and the Office OF the bu-
reau goes back to Santa Fe from Albu-
querque. Governor Princes broad range
of knowledge and extensive %acquaint-
ance with prominent people everywhere.
in connections with the deep interest he
has in the welfare of New Mexico,
thoroughly qualities him for the position
of president. However. the principal
work of the Bureau Of immigration has
to be shouldered by the secretary, and
nothing has occurred for some time in
the way of official appointments or Sc
lections that has given us so much salts
faction as the choice of Colonel Max.
Frost for secretary of the bureau. MI.
Frost is quite familiar with the respon-
sibilities of this office; he has filed ii
heretofore, and it is universally admit
ted that its occupancy never brought
forth better results to the territory than
when in charge of Mr.. Frost. Quick
witted. liberal minded, having an ac-
quaintance with nearly every man
worth knowing throughout the country,
and possessing a good working knowl-
edge of every topic that may prove ad-
vantageous to the territory's advance
ment, Mr.. Frost is surely in the right
place as secretary of the Bureau of I'M
migration and we congratulate his col
leagues of the bureau on their display
of foresight in filing the office.

Municipal Ownership in New Mexico.

The town of Roswell has grown to
such proportions, owing to railway and
irrigation enterprises, that the people
are now discussing the establishment of
water works and electric light system.
A proposition Of municipal ownership
of these utilities is under discussion,
and will probably be submitted to a
vote of the people by the trustees just
elected. The result will be watched with
interest all over the territory, particu-
larly in towns which have not yet sur
rendered franchises to individuals or
companies, for such enterprises.
If Roswell undertakes these works in
the interest of the public, can support
them, can maintain water and electric
systems without charging as high rates
as profit-making companies expect, 9TH
er towns will follow the example. The
proposition is in line with modern
thought concerning public ownership by
municipalities, which has been success
full in many instances.
ROSWELL is III the main OIL
a good class of citizens, and they ought
to be able to guard against extrava-
gance in the management by holding
the local officers to a strict responsible
ity. Any village that can maintain a
city government and a good public
school system ought to be able to con-
duct any other class Of business, such
as operating water and electric plants
and selling light and water to citizens
at the lowest possible cost.
Under a law passed by the last legis-
lature towns of the class of Roswell
may issue bonds to the extent of $40, 900
for the purpose Of establishing water
works and a W system. 1t is under
stood that already the town named has
been selected for the location of a large
building for certain business purposes
in case a necessary sewerage system
shall be established. One improvement
follows another, and no municipality
has ever had cause to regret any rea-
sonable undertaking Of a sanitary char
acter.

But He snid II Bright Thing or Two
Just the Same.
Among the scholars when Lamb and
Coleridge attended school was a poor
clergyman's son, of the name Of Simon
Jennings. On account Of his dismal and
gloomy nature his playmates had nick
named him Pontius PLATE. One morn
ing he went up to the master, DR.. Boyer,
and said in his usual whimpering man
ner:
''Please, doctor, the boys call me
Pontius PLATE"
If there was one thing which DR..
Boyer hated more than a false quantity
in Greek and Latin, it was the practice
of nicknaming. Rushing down among
the scholars from his pedestal of state
with cane in hand he cried with his
usual voice of thunder:
"Listen, boys! The next time I hear
any of you say 'Pontius PLATE I'll cane
you as long as this cane will last! You
are to say Simon jennings and not
'Pontius plate. Remember that if you
value your hides!'
Next day, when the same class were
r~eciting the c%ateohism, a boy of re-
markably dull and literal turn of mind
had to repeat the creed. He had got
as far as suffered under" and was
about popping out the next words, when
the doctors prohibition unluckily flash
ed upon his mind. After a moments
hesitation he blurted out, suffered un-
der Simon Jennings, was'-
The rest of the sentence was never
uttered, for DR.. Boyer had already
sprung like a tiger upon him, and the
zane was descending upon his unfor-
tunate shoulders. When the irate doc
tor had discharged his cant storm upon
him, he said:
"What do you mean, you BOBBY, by
such blasphemy?"
II only did as you told me" replied
the simple minded youth.
"Did as | told your" roared the doc
tor, now wound up to something above
the boiling point. "What do you meant"
As he said this he grasped his cane
more %furiously.
eyes, doctor. You said we were al
ways to call Pontius PLATE Simon Jen-
nings. Didn't he, Sam?" appealed the
unfortunate culprit to Coleridge, who
was next to him.
Sam said naught, but the doctor,
who saw what a Ounce he had to deal
with, cried:
"Boy, you are a fool! Where are
your brains?"
Poor DR.. Boyer for a second time
was "foored," for the scholar said,
with an earnestness which proved its
truth, but to the intense horror of the
learned potentate:
"In my stomach, sir"
The doctor always respected that

half afraid that a stray blow might be

Shutting Out New Mexicans.

The Rio Grande railroad has granted
special excursion rates to the Ute reser-
walton from Colorado Springs, Denver
and Pueblo. These rates are granted in
connection with similar rates on eastern
through lines. The Rio Grande will not
grant excursion rates from other points
than those above mentioned. The rea-
sons given for this are unique, but they
are forcible. The three points men,
toned above are gateways for eastern
travel and the Rio Grande management
wants to do all in its power to get peo-
pie from the eastern states to settle
upon the Ute reservation. 1t says there
is no gain for the west to take people
from n part of Colorado or New Mex
leo to settle them in some other part of
the same state OF territory. 1t is prefer
able to persuade people from the east to
settle in the new districts. In addition
the railroad people wish to avoid a rush.
As there are only COG, 900 acres to be
thrown open and 100 acres to each set
tier would only give 1880 persons a
chance to locate. The railroad com
pany should call the attention of the
surplus Of the intending settlers or the
Ute reservation to the fact that there is
good land in New Mexico to be had by
locating.

Tax club at the Marlborough hotel in

Philadelphia, referring to the troops in

feathering the speaker the 100 chumps

THE COAL SUPPLY.
(Raton Gazette.)

New Mexico is fortunate in having an
abundant supply Of excellent coal, and
among the many great deposits that of
Ration easily takes the lead. Her coal
of the most excellent kind is mined from
the outcrop in siX-foot vein by tunnel
direct into the heart of the mountain.
This, as everyone knows, is far cheaper
than shafting, and the coal being rock
covered there is very little expense for
timbering.

YOUR HOME.


Thousands Of dollars in value are
added to little homes by improving the
grounds around them. Take any house
and lot in town, the house worth say
$4,000, and allow the grounds about it to
grow up with weeds, to be Uttered with
old tin cans and all kinds of garbage,
the would-be purchaser will scarcely
give it a second look, and only to be
more disguised if he does. If, on the
other hand, the grounds are neat, clean,
covered by a fine lawn and towering
shrubs, he will probably pay twice as
much for such property as it has cost
because it pleases him; it takes his fan
cy: it looks and is healthy and hand
some: it makes him proud of his home;
he finds in it a means to make his fami-
ly happy and contented, and is thus able
in a measure to repay their love and
affection.

Germany is willing to partition Samoa.
This has been no secret for years. Ger
many believes in having one island al
together rather than managing three
islands in partnership with two other
nations. As Germany picks out the
most populous and most fertile island as
her choice, there may be a demurrer on
the part of Great Britain and the United
States when it comes to partitioning the
group. 1t might be rather uncomfort-
able anyway to have Germany and Great
Britain as next door neighbors and such
a state of affairs would not be likely to
better existing conditions in Samoa.

Railroads believe in advertising and
for the simple reason that it pays. The
Colorado & Southern has just given out
a contract for 10000 booklets to de-
scribe the climate and the resources of
Colorado. The Santa Fe and the Rio
Grande railroads not only print an i'm
mense mum Der of booklets but they adj
vertise in every newspaper of any ac-
count, in fact there is not Il railroad in
the United States that does not spend a
considerable part of its income for adj
vertising. Merchants should take a
hint from the fact that when immense
corporations like rich railroads must ad-
vertise in order to get business, it is
s%elf-evident that q merchant in order to
hold, or increase business must spend a
goodly part Of his income for advertis-
ing.thc same as he spends a part of his
income for new supplies of merchandise.

In Mexico all the railways extending
lines or which are new roads, are eX-
p~eriencing great difficulty in securing
laborers. A few years ago men could
be had in abundance at so cents per
day, but now rs is paid and in some
cases, 81 per day. Other enterprises
have absorbed a portion of the labor
and the railway work is SO hard and UNI

not accept it.
