School Report. Month Ending March 8, 1000.

This month has been remarkable for
the number of small sicknesses which

a few sunny days get sandwiched in
between two periods OF rainy ones.
In all other respects the month has
been a good one. The number en-
rolled was 800, gain of 3 over last
month. OF these 1853 are boys and
442 girls. The Lincoln building has
Is more girls than boys while the
Washington building has II more
girls than boys. This difference is
likewise observable in the highschool.
where there are AZ more girls than
boys, in a total enrolment of So.
The average attendance in the city
was 66S "a. There were III cases of
hardness, being the smallest number
VIC have over had in one month /;
237 pupils were neither absent nor
tardy. Last year, same month. there

tendance was 575.46, so it will be seen
that the enrolment has increased 81

PoLrrISAL POINTS.


The Democratic party Of San Juan
euunty is 10 magnificent condition this
year. Under fair and iudicious man.
agement it should emerge from the cam
paIgn in stronger position than has
ever been occupied by any party since
the county was organized.
It has not been customary in this
county for candidates to publicly an.
nouncs themselves for Office but the
rule is broken shis year. TIE INDEX
has two announcements il this issue.
AS there is no Republican paper, we will
Print announcements for ambitious
-members OF that party as we'll as for the
Democrats Come on. everybody. The
thing is easy-S5. 100 is the price and none
are barred.
For sheriff. the present incumbent,
James G. Dodson, is candidate for re-
nomination. E. R. Stewart and John
W. Brown are also understood to be
willing aspirants, although for Mr..
Brown We do not assume to speak by
authority. 1t is current rumor that his
name will be presented to the conven-
tion. as to the truth OF the statement
We DO not pretend 20 assert,
Charley Saaord's Democratic friends
are urging his indorsem ept by the
Democr attic convention. The Populist
organization having disbanded, some OF
its old time members are also for SAT-
ford. They are for him because be is
honest and iaithiul, competent and
obliging
The Populist national committee
placed Stevenson's name on the ticket
for vice. president, demonstrating that
their leaders consider that the Demo
cratic platform and the Democratic can
didates are right and righteous. The
Populists Of San Juan county are main
ly Of that opinion, but few Of the
"Ieaders"want to play the same part in
local affairs that Tom Watson essayed
in national affairs in 1896-to raise as
much hell and do as little good as possi-
BILE. for the party that is FIGHTING the
trusts and the gold bugs.

MR. MeRAE NOT LIE RIGHT Man.

The word is abroad throughout
the county that the coterie Of states
men who guide the destinies of the
remnants Of the Populist party of
this county, have determined on
placing VIM. McRae of Farming
ton on the Democratic ticket as the
candidate for county clerk and re-
cordcr.
Against MIR. McRae as a man and
a citizen no one can have anything
to say; against Mr.. McRae as a pub
lie official or as a candidate before a
Democratic convention at this par
ticular time, volumes might be
written.
The clique OF opinion-moulders
and 'inhooence" -wielders which
has had the temerity to tackle this
scheme of placing on the Demo
cratic ticket a man who was beaten
two years ago for the position his
friends are now urging him for,
beaten as the candidate of another
party and by the nominee Of the
Democratic convention-the mem
bers of the sacred circle of backnum-
bers which has had the nerve to
suggest this scheme, have never,
however, succeeded in accomplish
ing much.

They attempted to defeat union
of Democrats and Republicans in
1893 and failed; they attempted to
defeat the collection oftaxes on real
estate property advertised for sale
last year, but finally "coughed up"
they attempted to control the
Democratic county convention last
spring and got dumped" they
attempted to run a newspaper, and
after missing several issues are
now going to law with San Juan
county to escape the payment of
some SIS taxes against the paper
claimed by the county.
The Democrats of San Juan
county are long suffering and un-
complaining and they are gifted
with marvellous patience, but this
looks like piling it on. They want
recruits, but are not looking for
brigadier-generals. They like a
good thing, but Mr.. McRae suits
them too well.
This Office holds Mr.. McRae in
too much regard to attribute to
him a plan so preposterous. Its in
congruity must be apparent to all
and we do not believe for a second
that it will receive the approval of
the Democracy Of this county.

winter wheat.

Written for THE INDEX
Among other experiments that have
been carried on at the sub-station
the past season is the varie-
ty test Of winter wheat. The main
object in view being the endeavor to
diffuse among the ranchmen OF the
county, in the near future, variety Of
wheat that possesses superior milling
qualities and at the same time one that
will give a good yield Of grain on our up
land soils. Twenty.four varieties we're
obtained and planted last fall in small,
fractional parts OF acre plats, and the
accompanying yields are tbs results Of
the tests on these plats.
The respective yields per acre cannot
in any sense Of the word be considered
reliable, in 50 far as large areas Of land
would be concerned, for the reason that
most Of the mesa soils are deficient in
many Of the elements of plant food and
unless these are supplied arti6cially as
was done in the caHe Of these plats, sim.
ilarly large yields cannot be expected
These results are, however, strictly com
parable in every sense Of the word and
hence illustrate very nicely the besl
varieties adagte4 tssorf sFrg7l Ss p
h0ns. The wheat while growing we.
given every necessary attention and wa,
kept at its maximum growing capacity
unf the grain began to ripen. The
folic ing yields per acre and the respsc
tive average lengths Of the straw war
obtained:
