GROUND HOG DAY

The End of February has, bv a
common superstition among American
people, been designated, "Ground
Hog Day." The wise rodent at that
time is supposed to come out of his
winter quarters for the purpose of
investigating the surroundings and
iofecaseing the future, and if, per-
chance, he sees his own shadow no
quietly retires, and remains in Nv
bernation for six weeks. indicating
that spring days will be deferred
unui That time. The day is also a
church festival known as Candlemas
and commentaries the publication
OF the virgin, and is observed in tbe
Roman Catholic church by the con.
secratlon OF the candles to be used
on the altar the ensuing wear and
sa'o 70 have an emblematical refer
ence to the prophecy regarding the
child Jesus-that he should ubecome
light to Tighten the Gentiles In
Scotland it is chosen as one of tho
four term days, so we see that, in COM
mon, church and business life tho
second day of February is a day of
more than ordinary Importance in
the calender of the year.

The American Falls Advertis,

The American Falls Advertiser,
speaking in general of the bridge
bills before the Legislature, say:sIf a
commonwealth should refuse to ac-
cept valuable territory from an adj
joining state the refusal would be
considered somewhat peculiar. Is
not the opening up of new territory
which Is already within the common
wealth, the building up of larger
business interests, the attraction Of
capital and the immigration of new
settlers as valuable as the gift of ter
rltory referred to? Most certainly
1t Is. Bridges such as the people of
Idaho are asking for will help largely
In opening up territory and business
opportunities, in attracting capital
and settlers. Ahc legislature must
not refuse the gift"

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science j:
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most danger
GUS diseases that medical men have
to contend with can he prevented by
the use of Chamberlain Couph
Kennedy. Pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack Of in
nuenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases to-
ward pneumonia. This has been
fuliy proven in many thousands of
cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with explicit con
hdence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and diff
Guilty In breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that the
patient has pneumonia Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For
sale by all druggists.

A Good Law.

The action Of the house in passing
the Albright municipal election bill
sends that measure to the governor,
and his exceilency will no doubt take
pleasing in afixing his approval, and
the cities of the territory will thus be
relieved of the expense and annoy
ance of annual elections. and at the
same time have an assurance of better
government. Under the present ar
rangement, by which We change the 10
cal administration every year, a public
officer hardly becomes acquainted with
the duties of his position before his
term expires. and our city affairs are
thus practically left in the hands OF
novices all the time. A city election
every two years is often enough.-Al.
buquerque Journal-Democrat.

Geological Survey.

There are two bills being consider
ed by the council committee on mines
and public lands at Santa Fe for the
creation of a territorial geologist and
natural history survey. The Albright
bill provides that this survey shall be
conducted from the city of Albuquer-
que. the professor of geology of the
University of New Mexico TO hold the
position of territorial geologist, while
the Fall bill leaves the headquarters
of the survey TO the board Of directors
to be appointed by the governor and
the presidents OF the Las Vegas Nor
NAL University, the Las Cruces Agri-
cultural College and the SocOrro
school of mines. Both bills contain the
provision that the survey shall be di-
rected by a board of managers to be
designated ny the governor, he TO
serve as president Of the board.
There is a statute on the books
which provides for the levy of / Ito of
a mill for a geological survey fund to
be used by the United States geologic
al survey when it gets ready for work
in New Mexico. Thus far the national
survey has not touched the fund and
there Is now about SO, 900 accrued from
that source and available, This fund
both bills propose to appropriate to the
use Of the territorial survey Las We

Progressive Men Secured New Cou,

Prosperous communities are the two
new counties OF Quay and Roosevelt
created last week by the New Mexico
legislature, out of the asst country in
cluded in the counties of Guadalupe
and Chaves, along the eastern border
of the territory. These new counties
boast a population wide awake, indus
%trious, pushing; ready to take up the
burden of local government and carry
it without undue effort, having as their
resource the great sheep and cattle
growing industry. These counties,
while some part of the present popula-
ton comes from Texas, will remain re
publican districts. They have gather
ed their people from the Oklahoma ov-
erflow; from Illinois, Indiana and the
north central states; progressive men
who will hold the new counties in line
for the party of progress. Portales
will be the county seat of Roosevelt
and Tucumcari of Quay county.
