The BOX FACTORY AT ALAMOGORDO.
It Began Working Last Week With Thirty
Men and Boys.

The new box factory at Alamogordo
began working last week. 1t has ca
pacity of from 6,O0O,O0O to 100000 feet
of lumber per annum. Thirty men and
boys will have employment in the box
and planning mill. There are fifteen ma
chimes in use in the box factory and
seven in the planning mill. A good idea
of what the sawmill company is doing,
and it's benefit to the town, can be seen
from the fact that it gives steady en-
ployment to 140 men and boys, and its
monthly payroll is $500. Last month
over 100000 feet of lumber were ship
ped, besides sixty car loads of slabs and
ten car loads of lathes and telegraph
poles. Shipments are made to Mexico,
Colorado, and all points in the south
west. c. j. Fillmore, the superintend-
ent, is assisted in the management by
Louis Egnell, dock foreman W. >
Armstrong, of the planning mill; Joseph
Seeger, general foreman, and E. L.
Johnson, of the box factory. John Men,
berg, for the past two years head saw
er, leaves on the 4th inst. to accept
similar position at the Hattiesburg
(Miss.) mills, owned by the same COM
pany. The mill is now saving thou
sands of ties for the Ell Paso & North
eastern extension. When the extension
work begins the material yards will be
moved to Carizozo, from whence the
branch to Captain runs. The many
thousands Of dollars paid monthly by
the mill and railroad keeps money In
circulation. There has never been an
assignment among the business men at
| Alamogordo, nor has any one been
| forced to the wall by process of law.
| New people are constantly coming in
and new houses are being built. Robert
| White is building brick and stone
business house, and had it rented be-
fore the ground was broken for foun-
dation.
| George Carl, the ice manufacturer
will put in new fifteen-ton ice ma
chine, and greatly enlarge his cold stor-
age building. These improvements will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000, and
when completed he will more than dou-
| BILE the number of men now employed
by him. Search has been made for 8
inch we'll casing in all supply houses
throughout the country, but a sufficient
quantity has not been procured, and Z
inch casing will have to be used. AS
soon as the casing can be had, work on
| the we'll will commence.

CANDIDATES FOR U. S. ATTORNEY.
Governor 0tero, Governor Murphy and Dele
gate Flynn Working for Statehood
Judge Mcmillan Confirmed.

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, December 12-There is a
lively contest going on over the ap-
pointment Of United States attorney for
the district of New Mexico, the COM
mission of w. B. Childers, the present
incumbent, having expired yesterday.
The indications are that Charles A. Le-
land, late associate justice of the ter
ritorial supreme court, will be appoint
ed, There are half dozen New Mexico
candidates, among these being A. c..
Voorhees,, of Ration; T. B. Catron, of
Santa Fe; w. 3. Childers, of Albuquer-
Que; Frank w. Clancy, of Albuquerque.
The talk that r. e. Twitchell of Las
Vegas, is also candidate, does not
seem borne out by the facts as there
are no papers on file here on his be-
half. Should Judge Leland, however,
withdraw, then Mr.. Twitchell's friends
may push him, but this is not at all de-
termined as yet.
1t is not believed at present that
any statehood bills have any chance at
the short session, the press of other i'm
portant business being too great; still,
Governor Otero and Governor Murphy
and Delegate Dennis Flynn are here
working for New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma, and the situation may
change for the better. The territories
have many friends in both houses, but
it is believed there will be no time to
take UP those matters at this session.
The territories, however, stand very
good show during the fifty-seventh con-
gress to get what they desire, namely,
statehood. The appointment of Daniel
H. Mcmillan as an associate judge of
the New Mexico supreme court was ap-
proved by the senate late yesterday
afternoon.

A FIRE AT CARLSBAD.
A $2,50O Residence Burned to the Ground
Last Week.

The residence of George Lucas, of
Carlsbad, was destroyed by fire last
week one afternoon. An alarm was
turned in, and the fire department re-
sponded promptly, but the flames had
made too great a headway to be check
ed, and all the firemen could do was to
save the surrounding buildings. The de-
partment was handicapped to great
extent by the low pressure Of the water,
which would not throw stream more
than 6 feet from the nozzle. The fire Is
supposed to have been caused by de-
fective flue. Mrs. Lucas had left the
house only few minutes before to Wis
it neighbor, taking her baby along,
who, by chance, had awakened just as
she was leaving. The house and its
contents were totally consumed. The
loss Is estimated to be $250O, with $1,000
insurance.

ALL STRIKERS
DISCHARGED.
Trains on the Santa Fe Railroad Are
Running as Usual and
on Time.
NO TRAFFIC BLOCKADE ON.
Investigating the Bogus Message That Had
Been Sent Out With ]. A. Newman's
Name Signed, Declaring the Strike
0f-Block System in Use.

Topeka, Kan, December 12sz-There is
but little change in the strike situation
here on the Santa Fe. Superintendent
of Telegraph Sholes says that every
station is manned to carry on normal
business. President M. NJ. Dolphin is
reported on the way here. ], A. New
man, chairman of the Santa Fe system,
is expected to arrive here to-day.
By order Of the general manager the
block system is in force again on the
road between Kansas City and Chicago
1t is claimed by the company that all
operations of the road are in normal
condition again.
BUSINESS is NORMAL.
In an interview on the several strikes
Nudge said last night
"Our business is running normal
again. We kept train movements under
the train order system. 1t has been
satisfactory enough to run the trains
in the same way that other western
roads run them. But the Santa Fe has
block signals, and the others have not.
We are using block signals from Chica-
go to Newton again. | gave an order
for their resumption this morning.
THE bogus message for operators to
go back to work, which j. A. Newman
says his name was forged to, went over
the wires sure enough. 1t was
taken off of the wire in the general Of
fice at the shop and at Holiday. Where
it originated I do not know"
Mudges reply to Newman's protest
was as follows:
Your wire to-day. Am also surprised
that any official should forge your
name. Do not believe it has been done.
Please give me facts and name official
that 1 may Investigate. There can be
no object in endeavoring to get the men
to go back, as we are refusing to per-
NIT them to go back, as you very well
know
ALL STRIKERS DISCHARGED.
All the striking operators received no.
tice that their services would ITO longer
be required by the company. The let
leTS were written ny ". VI. oHOltS, Su-
perintendent of telegraph, and We're as
follows:
Dear Sir--You are hereby notified
that you are discharged from the serv-
ice of the company, to date from A p.
m. Saturday December 5, for failure to
perform the duties of your position. The
balance due you for December services
may be secured at any time by calling
at the office of the treasurer. Yours
truly,
&c. G. SHOLES, Superintendent"
The company claims to be able to re-
ceive and care for all ordinary busi-
ness with which it may be intrusted,
and that as far as the strikers are con-
cerned, the road need not recognize
their existence.
TRAINS ON TIME.
Denver, Colo, December 12.-The
Santa Fe officials say that all trains on
this division are moving on time. The
division west of Albuquerque, on which
the telegraphers counted for the hard
