1t is gradually being recognized
throughout the country that members
of national guard organizations make
the most faithful, industrious and obe-

not been slow to take advantage of the
preference shown by employers, and

On the contrary, he is a most desirable

a faithful, competent employe.
Notwithstanding the many things
which tend to initiate against the sue

ments offered there are inexpensive and
as pure as those afforded by any home
circle. Rowdyism, drunkenness and
gambling are strictly barred and the re-
straint taught is manifested in other
places outside of the armory hall.
Very little encouragement has been
given the club or company by the busi-
ness community and it has been difficult
at times for the boys to bear the burden
of dues and assessments, but they have
invariably responded uncomplainingly.
The first business man to voluntarily
contribute to the organization was c. j.

employer, friend to Iaboring men, and

the Things Which Have Tended to
Retard Its Growth-Flourish-

The ball given by the members of the
Emmett Gnard on Thanksgiving night
at the Armory hall was decided sue
cess and proved to be one of the most
enjoyable social events of the season.
The hall was elegantly decorated with
the national colors and the members
of the company in full uniform scat
tered among the beautiful toilettes and
the sombre black of the gentlemen, pre-
sented striking aud somewhat martial
picture.
Sixty couples were on the floor, when,
at about 8 o'clock, the stirring strains of
a march played by the string band in
attendance broke over the assembage,
and until the wee sma' hours of the
morning, many tripped the light fan
tastic. A dainty collation. was served
during the evening and, in fact, every
thing pertaining to the affair was In
deed recherche, even to the artistic
programmes,
The success of the affair was In a
great measure due to the personal eff
forts of Messrs. S. H. Wallace, A. L.
Whiteman, A. D. Ryan. A. A. Smith
Clinton Hathaway and j. l.. Whitton,
the gentlemen having the affair in
charge. All those in attendance voted
the occasion one of delight and the
Guard royal entertainers.

Wedding lin High Life.

William Stott, son of Magoos, an old
Mescalero Indian chief, and Hattie
Gordo, Mescalero Indian belle, were
married on Thanksgiving day by Rev.
Father Migeon at the Mescalero agency.
Shortly before the time appointed for
the ceremony the groom became fright
ened at the crowd assembled for the oc-
casion, mounted his horse and rode
away, occasoning postponement of
the ceremony for several hours until
the recalcitrant groom could be found
and brought back. Neither of the con
tracing parties were able, when asked,
to give the names of their mothers.
They knew their fathers.

Colorado Springs exchanges should
prove a lesson TO FL PaSo mining and
business men in conducting an ex-
change. The rampant wildcatism Incl
dent to the Cripple Creek boom loaded
the exchanges with listed stocks Of no
value whatever, many of the cOmparies
not even owning foot of ground and
hundreds having holdings outside of the
mineral belt, or claims which did not
show vein of any sort Wash sales Of
these worthless stocks were made daily
until Jhey had sufficient standing to
warrant working off considerable blocks
on Eastern suckers" In consequence,
investors soon learned lesson which
brought the exchanges into disrepute
and decreased the whole stock sales so
decidedly that it became a question Of
whether or not it was advisable to
abandon business altogether. Finally
the boards were purged of worthless
stocks and confidence restored. The
worth of stock is, OF course, based on
the capitalization of the companies, the
acreage, the development, the veins
shown the ore bodies opened, the smel.
ter returns, the shipping facilities. etc.
The exchange should be oificered by
men who realize these things and who
are honest enough to endeavor to pro.
tect Eastern inves ors, and firm enough
to determine that they will not bring
discredit on El Paso or the mining re-
sources of the Southwest by permitting
friends to list stocks Of no value.
This section can give an Ell Paso eX-
change a dozen reputable stocks for
listing purposes and every miner busi-
ness man and prospector will work ar
IDENTIFY for the success of the enterprise.
Many will do business through the
exchange and will doubtless make their
homes in that city by reason of their
business relations with the mining men
and brokers. When the exchange is
once in operation Ell Pasoans will
awaken to realization that it is of
greater Importance to them than an
electric street railway or any other con-
templated Improvement

affections of the militia boys. Others
who followed later with voluntary con-
tributions and who have given their
moral support and earnest consideration
to the organization are: A. s. Grelg,
superintendent of the White Oaks
route; w. s. Baker, W. S. Shepherd, J.
II. Laurie, Z. j. Dedman, g. c. Scipio
and q. j. WOlfnger. That the boys are
thankful for the friendship OF these
gentlemen is past gainsaying, and they
only await an opportunity to express
their gratitude.
1t is the aim OF the members to build
up military organization second to
none in the Southwest and one to which
every citizen Of AlamogOrdo can point
with just pride as a credit to the town.
Few towns the size of AlamogOrdo can
build up such company, and 1t is
worthy of boasting of at any time and
in any place.

MINING EXCHANGE.
It is Probable That El PasO viii Push

"The movement for mining exchange
is the most important move FL Paso ever
made" said w. s. Gage, Of Silver City at
the Sheldon. Mr.. Gage is an extensive
operator and speculator in mining prop

tically making El PasO his headquarters.

important mining centers in the west"
he continued, "and will protect specu-
lators from the work OF professional

thousands OF dollars in this country be-
cause they were not protected against
takers and are now slow to catch on
here. They know there are many val

way to detect the takers and are afraid

Rev. R. r. Reynolds preached splen-

men embracing all denominations they

good example for others, the militia
men show that their feneer of stern ad-

ties covers hearts that beat responsive
to noble and holy ideals.

The new box factory and planning

has a capacity of from six to eight mil

men and boys have employment in the

seven in the planning mill. A good idea
OF what the Alamogordo Lumber com

It gives steady employment to 14O men

Since the organization of the com
pany, September 25th, the members
have worked quietly and ceaseleSsly to
build up the militia, minding their own
business meanwhile, and disregarding
the obstacles set out by kickers and
cranks, until now the muster roll shows
having been uniformed and equipped
and brought to a standard of efficiency
unexcelled by any other company in the
territory. The pathway 20 success has
not been one of roses. Alamogordo has
generous quota of blatant, BRASS
mouthed obstructionistS who decry
every enterprise, public or private, and
goodly supply of staggering smart
alecks who imagine that they display
intelligence by referring to the Guard
as "tin soldiers" etc. The sneering.
scoffing element referred to above are
Invariably "tin horns" of the first water
and men who have never contributed
dollar to the upbuilding of the town.
They are irresponsible leeches, hanging
onto the community by their eyebrows
and kicking at everything In general
because they have neither the manhood,
decency nor courage to act Otherwise.
If they have ever served their country
in any manner, or offered to, some dis
grace will be found attached to their
records. 1t has been dlscOuraging and
CALLING at times for the militia men to
buck against such influences, and In
consequence, few tOf the weak-kneed
recruits dropped out of the organization
and allied themselves with Its deriders.
The others merely took note OF the hos
tile attitude of few members Of the
community and determined to get even
when the organization should become
powerful enough to exert political, So
cial and commercial influence in the
town.
Many who are misinformed relative
to the mission and composition OF the
company looked with disfavor on 1t and
expressed the fear that 1t would prove
antagonistic to the interests OF the ia
boring men" This is the most ludi-
crous supposition imaginable. for nine-
tentbs OF the members OF the company
are laborlng men In every sense that the
words imply, and many Of thcm are
union men In good standing In their
various trades organizations But they
are not the sort Of la6oring men who 90

, ployers in their hearts or murder and

matters pertaining to labor difficulties.
