The statement Of John r.. Young in
the Pennington Hustler of last week
needs a little correction. Mr.. Young
asserts in substance that petition
signed by sevepty-five, asking that Mrs.
Lucy Burr be appointed postmistress at
Fruitlauo vice John r. Young, was
surned down and ignored by Judge Pen
dleton, to whom it was referred, and
presumably Mr.. Rodey, and that another
petition with only five names in favor
Of Miss Lily Dean for the place was for
warded by Judge Pendleton, securing
Miss Deans appointment, The facts Of
the case are familiar AZ Frnitiand ana
the people Of that prosperous section
Fnog iuat bow the poeioHce meiter
tarslhs 3 pear ESQ was settled. a psti
tion with seventy or more names was. as
Mr Young say gotien up 10 favor Of
Mrs. Burr but nevertheless a large
number advocated Miss Deans appoint
ment and another petition signed by
some few Of the leading eitizens-only
three, we belieye-was drawn up asking
that the appointment be withheld until
an election Of the psople-all the voters
aud patrons of the office-could be held
to decide the matter This request was
granted. An election regularly called
and attended by virtually all the voters
of Fruitland was held. at which election
Miss Lily Dean received 43 votes anc
Mrs. Burr %. Those having the rec
concentrations aud appointment in
charge could hardly do more after this
than recommend and appoint Misi
Dean, and that was done. The election
as the vote shows, was participated in b,
the supporters of Mrs Burr, and up t,
this date it was supposed they we're sat
is6ed with the result, 1t was at the re.
quest OF the Fruitland people that Miss
rean was appointed and not, as Mr.
Young says, at the request of any five
men. The postoffice at Fruitland is an
honor TO the place and would do credit
to much larger town, and from what
we can learn, Miss Dean is conducting
tito the perfect satisfaction Of all con
: cerned. Her superior knowledge as an
accountant comes in good play in thai
position. In common with many Of Mr.
Young e friends, we regret that be
should have gotten the idea that he did
not receive fair treatment.

Rock Island system, will be in oper-
alton about the same date. 1t is.
plain to intelligent observers that
this great railroad system will not
stop at Dawson, but that it will be
pushed through northwestern New
Mexico, through Arizona and Cali
fornia to the Pacific coast. The
New Mexican is reliably informed
that surveying parties are in the
field running survey lines through
Toas and Rio Arriba counties
headed for the San Juan river val
ley in San Juan county. These
are believed to be Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railroad en-
ginesrs. Verify, the year 1903 and
1904 will see much, and in many
directions unlocked for, railroad
building in the future Sunshine
state.

The "Bad. poxa.

The 'bad" boys are often the best
boys in the neighborhood. All they
want Is chance to- do something.
Don't expect healthy. active boys TO
want to be tied up In books and SO
called improving occupations continu-
ally. If boys are not given good ideas
to work upon, such as they always get
In kindergartens. manual training and
other up to date schools. they are sure
TO be In harmful mischief. because
boys with vim and get there in them
are bound to be busy, Give them tools
and materials to work with; encourage
them to make sleds. carts. boats and
various kinds Of playthings. Don't
ever give bad" boy up. Give him
something to do.

His Bank Signature.

A case for handwriting expert was
noticed Mt one of the downtown banks
the other day. A treasurer of one of
the many charitable organizations OF
this city had received check to be de-
voted to that certain charity, and he
was dcsirous of acknowledging it, but
could not read the signature, He took
the check to the bank on which 1t was
drawn and questioned one of the clerks
as to the signature and was told that
it was genuine, but could not get tue
desired information. 1t was next tax.
on to the paying teller, who also de-
clared that 1t was genuine. but even he
could not make out who ii was and
had to consult the card catalogue,
There was not the slightest resem'

check and the real name.-New York
