IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Association of Business Men to Build
twenty-five Cottages on Hot

The leading business men OF the
west side, together with several from
the east side. have formed building
association which promises much for
the prosperity Of the whole communi-
ty. the west side In particular. The al.
sociation has carried its work along
so far as to be able to feel confident OF
having means to build at least twenty.
Ave modern cottages for renting pur.
poses on the Springs boulevard. This
is exactly what Las Vegas needs. II
is impossible to get good houses to
rent In Las Vegas. Many families
come to the city, look about and move
elsewhere, for no other reason than
that they can not secure comfortable
homes.
The new cottages will be on the
street car line. They will be fur.
nished with modern conveniences and
will IN every way be desirable. The
cost OF the cottages will range from
81, 200 to S2.50O. They will be either
for sale or rent. The Improvement tc

COAL STRIKE IN

CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN
CAMPS. MEN BEING Sc
CURED TO TAKE PLACE
or THOSE WHO
QUIT.

DR.. ]. M. Cunningham, one OF the
ofiicers of the Ration Coal & Coke COM
pany, operating the mines at Gardned
and Willow Creek, says that the com
pany Is still mining coal ami has quite
a number Of good men at work The
men in the mines were doing as well
as any miners in the United States.
They had absolutely no grievance and
not one of them wanted to strike.
However, as members of the union,
some OF them obeyed the call which
resulted from the disgruntled feel
ings in Colorado, and went out in
sympathy. The general feeling
among the men Of the northern New
Mexico camps is that the trouble at
issue is between the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company and men up there.
Why New Mexico should be affected
injurously, Is not clear, and why New
Mexico miners who have families to
provide for should be forced out OF
loyalty to principle to obey the
behests OF men who never saw the
territory Is s.ill mnia harr. Some oi
the men who quit .. - northern
camps are withdrawn rom the un

pany owns all the land about III
mines. all the dwellings and all the
property. The company ID In a posi-
ton to guarantee absolute protection
to the miners who 90 10 work on tn'
good terms offered. As matter Q
fact there Is no danger OF any moles
,tation of miners or interference Of an.
kind. The men who struck did not d.
so willingly and are not inclined 7
make the least disturbance.
DR.. Cunningham thinks II tn
strike should by any chance continu
|for any length of time and assum'
general proportions In New Mexico
the effect on the brsiness Of this cit
will be serious. The railroads will

and for the sake Of Others In the ter

come want to express my gratitude
to. and my hearty commendation of.
the insane asylum at Las Vegas.
Last Saturday night Mrs. Marrable
was dismissed on probation, as sound
and as healthy In body as ever she
was in her life. There is little like
lihood Of d return Of her trouble.
There is no taint of heredity, her trou-
BILE resulting entirely from worry and
physical causes, But the case was
stubborn and difficult one.
Mrs. Marrable Is Of unusually alert
mentality. The writer remembers her
as child years OF age as the
brightest pupil in large school, The
father had expected to come to Las
Vegas to take her home, but pneu.
monia set Ia and death followed. Mr.,
Green Of Carlsbad came 10 Las We.
gas for his wife. the story OF whose
treatment and cure, after every effort
had been made in vain at home, forms
an interesting chapter In the history
of the asylum. Mrs. Marrable ac
companied him Not until she reach,
ed Artesia was the sad news Of her
fathers death told, but SO complete
has been the recovery that no fear Is
felt of the result But ii was bitter
~ sad homecoming.
No member of the asylum board OF
management knows Of the fathers re
quest now rendered doubly sacred
The asylum management has always
objected to any publication concern
ing the cure and dismissal OF patients
the objection, doubtless, being prompt
ed by respect to the feelings of pa
tients and their relatives. In this
case, however, 1t seems right that tn:
custom OF the authorities should give
way to the request of father.

that the company had far exceeded
the privilege OF this act, both In cut
