Some of our South Omaha friends pro-
fess to fear that their new postotiice
may some day come to be known as
"Station ID" of the Omaha Office. There
is no cause for alarm, although that
will probably be the outcome before an
other ten years roll around. The post
office is there to stay and must remain
for the accommodation of South Omaha
business no matter what name it is
known by. The tendency in the direc-
tion of municipal consolidation may be
checked, but it cannot be stopped al
together. The interests of South Omaha
and Omaha are practically identical
and no amount of local jealousy can
controvert the fact that whatever bene-
fits one benefits both.

AROUND ESPANOLA.
Drouth and Smallpox Both Prevail-Bond
Store Building.

store BUILDING.
P. H. Leese, of Espanola, came to this
this city last evening for the first time
in a year. He complains Of the drouth
around Espanola. Crops even on the
farms along the Rio Grande, and where
irrigated. are almost a total failure.
Along the Santa Cruz no water at all
can be had, and orchards are dying out,
the leaves Of all the trees having turned
yellow.
To add to the distress caused by har-
vest failure is the frightful prevalence
of smallpox. Within a radius of a a
mile of Mr.. Leese's home there are sew
eral cases. The epidemic is, however,
not of the malignant form, for out of
$50 cases within the last month only
two deaths have occurred.
Progress on Bond Bros new store
building is somewhat SLOW, as at first
the brick kiln was located in an insult
able spot. But at present one kiln has
been fired, and a very large number OF
brick have been secured from the peni-
Tertiary at Santa Fe. The building, Mr..
Leese says, Mill undoubtedly be the
finest store building in New Mexico.
With it's two wings 1t will ove almost
an acre, and be two stories high.
While crops are a failure around Els
pamela, Mr.. Leese reports the ranges to
be in splendid condition.

The Public Schools.

The attendance at the central building
on the Fort Marcy reservation at the
opening of school was much larger than
expected. Every seat was occupied, in
some instances there were three pupils to
a seat. New desks are on the way and
will probably be here in a day or two.
Every class in the high school was rep
resented. Two seniors were enrolled
who expect to graduate next June. In
all the other wards the attendance was
about as usual.
The work started off in all the wards
very pleasantly and without a jar and
all the teachers seemed very enthusiastic
in their work. Professor Wood was
much pleased with the manne in which
the teachers took hold of the work, and
the promptness with which the pupils
answered questions, considering that
they had been out Of schools so long.
One hundred and five pupils have al
ready been enrolled in the central build
ing. Glasses have been formed in all
the common branches and in the follow
ing high school classes: Two Latin
classes, physical geography, two geom-
etry classes, one rhetoric class, physiol-
ogy class, one class in political econo-
my, one in geology, and one in psychol-
ogy. Total enrolment in all the wards
is 246,

FERNANDO De TAOS GRANT.
Opinion of the United States Court Of Pri-
vate Land Claims.

vate Land Claims.
The following is he tex of the opin-
ion of the court of private land claims,
given by Chief Justice Reed yesterday
in relation to the San Fernando de Taos
grant, claimed by Hon. Juan Santiste-
van ct al, for 1899 acres, which was
confirmed in part:
Hon. T. b. Catron represented me
plaintiffs in this case. The opinion of
the court, by Chief Justice Reed, Was as
follows:
This case is for the confirmation Of
what is known as the Fernando de Taos
grant. At a former term We entered a
decree rejecting the claim to all the
lands except those allotted to settlers at
the time of the grant. We have been
asked to review that holding, which we
have done, and we are of the opinion
ity with the opinion of the supreme
| court in the Ell Bado case, and that
, there is no distinction between this
| grant and the one in question in that
| case. AS to the allotted lands, we hold
| that all those lying without the league
of the pueblo of Taos are entitled to
confirmation. AS to those lying within
the league, we are of the opinion that
they cannot be confirmed. We do not
put the holding on the ground that there
are two grants in conflict, and that we
have or have not power to decide as
between them, but we put it upo the
basis of the adjudication by the gov
ernor of the territory in 1916, which was
to the effect tina a league had beer
granted originally to the pueblo Of Taos
and that neither the governor nor any
other officer could grant any portion Of
the land lying within that. His deter
mination was that the allotmentS with
in the league were void for want OF
power to make them. That was a mat.
ter within his jurisdiction, and he hat
power to determine it, and that deter
mination is binding upon the parties
We understand that there are allot'
not able from the evidence to delineatt
them, but it is suggested that they al
are covered by the survey and repre-
scented here by plat from the surveyo
generals office, the survey having beef
made several years ago, and showing
an area outside of the pueblo league
within which the allotments lie. TIT
body of land within the boundaries out.
side is not great, only 1,S00 acres, OF
something in excess of that, and if the
delineation does include all the allot'
ments lying out of the league, the de
cree may be so prepared as to include
the 1899 acres covered by the plat
which would very much simplify TIN
matter"
Justice Murray did not participate il
the determination at the former tern
of the court, but now expresses tn
opinion that the grant should be reject
ed as a whole.
