will make Durango his headquarters

The recent cold snap extended as
far south as Pennington, where be-
low zero weather was experienced en-
abling the ice men an opportunity of
housing some of the concealed water
Last year the winter was an open one
and ice was an unknown quantity at
Aztec and Pennington.
1t is of no interest to the Herald one
way or the other, but Pennington
needs two papers about as much as Il
dog needs two tails There is no,
room for two live sheets, and it is too
much of tax upon the business inter
osts to keep them going. This is not
intended as personal to the new or
the old paper. Simple facts.

The house members drew some
thing like $500 Monday and spent
their entire time wranGling over en-
rloyes. Heretofore the patronage
has been divided between a bare ma
| lority which afforded each member
an opportunity of selecting one clerk
and some two. This time there are
more members of the dominant side
than there are places to fill and some
members are thus left out in the cold,
hence the squabble.
