NOW FOR THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

From time to time THE INDRx
has had something to say for the
proposed normal school in Aztec.
What it has said has been said for
the reason that the normal school
project appears to it to be a critical
and vital proposition in the better
and surer growth of the town. A
trading and commercial point, where
the folk of the valley and of the
county will always come and where
a good business will always be
driven in the commercial lines, Aztec
is certain to be. That the town
will keep pace with the growth of
the county no one can doubt. But
the normal school offers an oppor-
tunity to do better than this. The
enterprise, properly handled, means
in the course of a few years a little
city of homes, a well-built and pro-
gressive municipality, with a popu-
lation composed in great part of
people who wish a mild winter
climate, the ordinary comforts Of
life, and, above all, educational adj
vantages for themselves or their
children.
Aztec is favorably situated to
cater to the middle classes of the
mining towns, those who do not
The San Juan County index. (Aztec, N.M.) 1890-19??, 1900-06-01

feel able to give their children a
college education, and yet desire
pleasanter and more useful life for
them than would be theirs If they
remained through the winters in
the mining settlements. AS far as
the proposition in hand is concerned
THE INDEX cares not whose idea IT.
is, nor who will profit most by its
success. The simple fact is appa-
rent that the enterprise in itself
would be of tremendous advantage
to the town. If Mr.. Grommet
should, after working at it for two
or three years, finally make Stake
out of it, we believe no one would
envy him his good fortune It is
the result we are interested in-not
the means. If assistance is asked,
it should be forthcoming, and while
the burden Of expense will seem
great to many who have not studied
the matter, every fair-minded per-
son will concede that the money
given to the project will, if judi
ciously, sensihly and economically
expended, return to its donors many
fold. Therefore, we again urge, as
heretofore, the sincerest, freest and
quickest response to Mr.. Grommet' S
appeals in behalf of the normal

modations for the night we had only to
remark that it was only a question OF a
very short time when the Beers would
knock the free and unlimited stuftin
out Of John Bull, old Roberts and other
members Of the family. You ish all

and feed them to hay and oats. IL you

rich and beautiful country. The hand
of General Prosperity seems too busy
at the plow handles in this locality to
fool away any time in throwing atones
at the government policies. Now we
pass over the divide to the Mancos val
Icy. This is a lovely farming country,
with plenty of water supplied from the
Maucos river. The farmers in this
valley do not produce much grain, as
some Of them informed us that it is
more profitable to produce hay We
we're surprised to see how the town Of
Mancos has built up in the past few
months The mines on the MancOs side
Of the La Platas are very promising at
this time, and to see the ore teams com =
ing down loaded with the precious stuff,
reminds one very much Of the flush
days Of Leadville.
REGARDING A FAIR.-It seems the
meeting at Pennington, called for the
purpose OF organizing fair association,
was very tame affair. We believe the
time has come when the enterprIsing
people of San Juan county should join
together aud organize a joint stock fair
aBao1idsian, eHt rieh ttseaeas9 ~ rtei7
the people Of Flora Vista, with the
kindly assistance Of the balance OF San
Juan county, will make an effort to hol d
successful fair this fall at this place.
We know of one gentleman that will
take SlO0 worth of stock, and we know
of several others that will take fropl s25
to $50 Of stock. The time has pasted to
have iim-crow fairs such as we have
seen in the county. The people of Flora
Vista will give the land necessary for
the fair, and will give lumber and
money and guarantees accommodations
at reasonable prices. We have no enc
mics either at Pennington or Aztec.
We stand neutral in all little fueses, and
while we stand ready to offef our friend
ship to all alike, we feel satisfied that
in getting our fair permanently located
at this point we can bring these COM
munities together and have them shake
hands across the blondy chosm and all
pull together for the best interests Of
San Juan county. A mass-meeting will
be held at Flera Vista in the near future,
due notice Of which will be given, in
vting ali the people Of the county to
join US in our effort to organize a per-
manent fair association for San Juan
county. SNoozER.
