Santa Fe experienced a little furry of
snow yesterday. In the mountains on
all sides, the snowfall apparently was
heavy. The cold spell continues much
to the delight of the ice man and the
plumber.
To-day should be, as a rule, the cold
est day of the year. The averag2 ;alI-
reratlre Of 20 degrees, as determined
from twenty-seven years record. is the
lowest daily mean temperature for this
city.
There will be no issue of the New
Mexican tomorrow, january /, 1901,
New Years day. This is done in order
to give the force of the New Mexican
Printing Company a holiday, and in ac-
cordance with a time-honored custom
of the paper.
On Saturday it was 10 degrees below
of snow had fallen. At Albuquerque a
terrible sand storm had made life a
burden, while at the same time in San
ia Fe it was merely cloudy, a few
snowfakes fell, and the thermometer at
any time did not indicate below 5 above
zero. AS A. Mennet, the weM-known
Las Vegas travelling man, said on Sat-
urday: Santa Fe has the best climate
in Me-, Mexico, and that means in the
world"
Close connection is now made be-
tween Santa Fe and Lamy with the
four passenger trains of the Santa Fe
railway, passing that point, with the
exception of trains Nos. 3 and 4, those
being the california Limited trains.
These latter are considered through
trains, and do not take or care for local
business. They consist exclusively of
Pullman standard sleepers, and space
on them is generally sold through from
Chicago to the Pacific coast. The fact
hat close connection is made between
this city and Lamy with four other
trains Is appreciated by the people or
this city and the travelling public gen.
orally.

Testimony i'm the contest case of T.
s. Catron VS.. c. F. Easley, for a seat
in the council Of the thirty-fourth legis-
lative assembly, on behalf of Hon. G.
F. Easley, is being taken at the office
of R. L. Baca, Camille Padilla being the
notary public. Mr.. Easley, although a
Democrat, nevertheless will do his best
TO %disorove Mr.. Catron's charges that
the Republican election officers in this
county at the last election were COR
rupt and permitted gross and gigantic
frauds, as alleged by Mr.. Catron in his
notice Of contest. The chances are all
in favor of Mr.. Easley, as the fact Is
that the last election in this county was
as fair and as honest as any election in
New Mexico can be.
