rant some public Improvement and un'
der the existing circumstances We are
not getting very much. The resolu
tons adopted by the city board OF
trade at a recent meeting, on this all
important question to the citizens OF
albuquerque, express my sentiments
exactly.
S. Vann, of S. Vann & Son, jewelers..
ard proprietors of the Postal Phar'
macy believe in the interests of all
concerned, that the division of the
county would be a good thing, and
eve If at first it should cost us a little
extra money, the returns later would
amply repay us. BY all means, let 1t
be divided, and. If, Ike the Dutch
mans dog, its tail should be cut off
close to the head, so much the better.
F. G. Pratt, proprietor of the F. G..
Pratt & Co., grocery merchants am
in favor of the division of the county.
The sentiments voiced on the situation
by the resolutions adopted by the city
board of trade are mine exactly.
George p. L%earnard, Hall & Learn
ard, music dealers-My opinion is that
a division of our county will prove
most advantageous to Albuquerque.

MERCHANTS FOR DIVISION.
The County Division Proposition is
Growing Every Day.
EVERYBODY IN FAVOR.

The special received from Santa Fe
yesterday and published in last eve
ning's Citizen, announcing that the
Sandoval county hill had been intro
duced in the council. was read by the
people Of Albuquerque with intense In
terest.
The new Sandoval county bill is
probably the most important bill to
the people of this city and the south
ern part of Bernalillo county yet in
troduced for legislation. The first bill
introduced some days ago, vas with
drawn so quickly that the merchants
of Albuquerque had hardly time to
consider its importance. The intro
duction Of the bill again yesterday by
Nj. Hughes received no little COM
ment from the merchants and taxpay-
ers of Albuquerque, and The Citizen
publishes interviews OF the subject
from a number of the south end store
keepers and business men.
C. b. Hawley, proprietor of the sta
tionery store, known as Hawley on the
conceive a very easily afford to
tell the promoters of the new county
that we will assume all the indebted
ness. All we want is division so we
can govern ourselves.
A. E. Walker, the insurance mani
am decidedly in favor Of a division of
the county as first proposed with the
north boundary line running near Cor
rales. AS to the accepting the debt of
the county. l think it would be just
debtedeness in the name expressed
in the resolutions adopted at the meet
ing of the Albuquerque board of trade.
Theo. Muenstermann, the South Sec
ond street merchant am decidedly
in favor of county division if it will
believe it will.
j.. c. Baldridge, proprietor of the
Baldridge lumber yard and one of the
largest taxpayers of the county,
think if we could get the proposed di.
vision we could easily afford to take
80 per cent of the county debt.
S. E. Newcomer, the stationery mer-
chant-It is n of the most important
moves that has been made by the citi-
zen for some time and l sincerely
hope that the county division will be
effected. | honestly believe that If we
can get a fair division of the county
debt, it will benefit Albuquerque and
the property owners of the new county
exceedingly in the way of lowering
taxes.
William Farr, proprietor of the Farr
mea markedly idea on the county
division proposition is to get the coun-
ty down so that we can manage it on
business principles. The amount of
taxes we are paying now would war

SEVEN TO ONE

Sometimes the weight goes
upthat way when taking Scots
Emulsion. Seven pounds OF
new, healthy flesh from a one
pound bottle of SCOTS Emul-
sion is on record.
SCOTS Emulsion brings
everything to its aid; good ap.
petite, strong digestion, rich
blood, new body strength, and
above al the power to get all
the good out Of ordinary food,
For those who are in reed
of more flesh there is nothing
better. Thin folks-try it!

am in favor of it.
d. II. Boatright, proprietor of the
Racket store-I am heartily in favor
Of county division, regardless of where
the lines run on the north boundary. |
do believe that we ought to take the
Chilli country into Albuquerque coun-
ty, or whatever our new county will he
called.
w. f. Pratt, proprietor of the Albu-
querque Hardware company-You al
say that I am in favor of county d.
vision. | believe that a small county
can be managed more economically
than a large county, and it will be of
that the county division bill passes.

mitted to the committee in order to
reconcile certain differences. Among
other amendments was ms requiring
signatures 10 verbal wills.
House bill No. 109, an act to define
assault, was favorably reported by the
committee on judiciary. The bill was
passed by 10 to 3.
House bill No. 81, an act to repeal
section so of the compiled laws of 1897
was favorably reported. 1t repeats a
ridiculous section relating to qualifica.
tlons of mayordomos and vas unani-
mcusly passed.
House bill No. SIS. by Mr.. Montoya,

previous to this was Secretary of Ag-
riculture. Now it is Secretary oil
Commerce George b. COrtelyOu,
private secretary to the President,

ment was promptly confirmed. 1t
was given out some time before the
creation OF this department that i'll
the event it was done the portfolio
would be rendered to Mr.. COrtelyOu
He is regarded as capable and de-
serving and his appointment gives
general satisfaction.
As the LumbertOn RObesOnian

George T. Cortelyou is proof of what
may be accomplished by push and
perseverance, coupled with ability
He was taken from one of the de

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-We are havin:
SO much rain the farmers are doing yer.
little toward making preparations TO
their crops. Just now and then do W
see the smoke rising from some ones
plant bed. Yet nobody seems to be dis
couraged. All appear to think it will
be all right in the end And guess they
are correct.
We are pleased to have Mr. Malcolm
Green with us once more. He has been
in the United States Army for the past
three years and has now a permit to
