Happv Christmas Season.

By the i..ae today's Gazctte shall
have been perused in the many
households into which it enters "The
Night Before Christmas" will be upon
ms once more, and the sound of holiday
bells which have been distant in the al r
for several days past will become more
and more pronounced as the hands OF the
clock in the City Hall move toward the
midnight hour st. Nicholas with his
sleigh and "ten tiny reindeer" Is al
ready on the road running before the
wind in order to make all his calls be-
fore sunrise. His schedule heretofore
has been as invariable as the solar sys-
TEN. notwithstanding he clings to his
sleigh in this age ofsteam and electricity.
He will be on time again tonight. Hence
little ones will close their eyes in joyous
expectancy Of becoming early risers to-
morrow morning in order to explore
Christmas Surroundings and examine
the contents of stockings.
Christmas sends thrills ofjoy into the
souls of many. 1t animates, more or
less. all human beings who live in civiliz-
ed countries, carrying the mind back, as
it does, to the beginning of the era,
over nineteen hundred years.
We are told that there is time for all
things, aud there is no day in the calen-
dar more fitting tor pleasant intercourse
and a temperate enjoyment OF the bles-
sings of heaven than Christmas. Its
music pervades every cline and makes
all nations akin. Bethlehem, the angelic
music of the first Christmas morn and
the babe in the manger--storles pondered
over in childhood-are reproduced, and
all nature. as it were, rejoices. The
TOYS and juvenile books of the Christmas
season not only portray mankind as
making merry, but the brute creation,
arrayed in grotesque attire is represented
as participating with mankind in the
joys Of the season. -,
Many at different times have irowned
upon Christmas, and numbers still, had
thew been present at the creation and
been allowed to regulate things accord
inc TO their ideas, would have made
life one continuous plOd from the cradle
to the grave. They would have inter-
dicted everything which tends to re-
lease man temporarily from his yoke and
burdens. and instead ofChristmas chimes
the clang of curiew bells would have
crushed what little spirit has been lett
in the human race since the scenes In
the Garden of Eden.
The Good Shepherd who trod the
rugged road OF life for third OF CEN
tury with the shadow of the cross upon
his pathway, mingled in social inter
course with man at wedding feasts and
on other occasions. May His example
of using but not abusing the blessings OF
heaven be before us all during the festive
season.
The Gazette tenders the compliments
of the season to all and expresses the
hone that Christmas may be surrounded
by innocent Joys calculated to produce
the best feeling and that the spirit OF
the occasion may be better realized and
appreciated by us all.

FOR STATEHOOD
Live Stock Convention Passes
Favorable Resolutions.
PORTLAND GETS NEXT CONVENTION
Fatal Accident on Railroad al Cum
berldnd, Maryland.
DESTRUCTION FROM AN EARTHQUAKE

Kansas City, Jan. 16.-The sixth an
nual convention of the National Live
Stock association finished it's labors
here today.
The work of the last sessions con
sisted in passing upon resolutions fav-
orably recommended by the executive
committee, in the delivery and discus
sion of several addresses, in the nam
ing of a convention city and con-
firming the old officers for the ensuing
year, all of whom had been recon-
mended for reelection.
The officers endorsed are: John w.
Springer, Denver, president; John NJ.
Holt, Miles City, Mont, first vice presi-
dent; F. j. Hazcnbarth, Salt Lake
City, second vice president; George d.
Goulding, Denver, treasurer: Charles
F. Martin, Denver, secretary; Fred p.
Johnson, Denver, assistant secretary.
The fight for the 1904 convention
was taken up the last thing in the af-
ternoon. Although there were half a
dozen cities in the race for the honor,
Portland, Oregon, seemed to be far in
the lead and the delegation from that
state were confident of winning out.
Among the resolutions agreed to at
this mornings session, was one en-
dorsing the omnibus statehood bill for
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.

Attack on the ROGERS Will.

Newark, N. j., Jan. 16.-The contest
to break the will of Jacob S. Rogers.
the millionaire locomotive builder OF
Paterson, was commenced in earnest
today when the suit Of Mrs. Virginia
Heinisch Of this city was called for
trial in the chancery court. Mrs.
Heinisch charges deception in the pur-
suasions used to induce her to sign the
release in common with the other
heirs, She also charges her former
counsel with deception in that he did
not properly enlighten her as to the
purport of the release she was pur-
suaded to sign. On these grounds she
~endeavors to have set aside the pro-
bate of the will. The executors deny
all allegations OF fraud and a bitter
contest is likely TO be the outcome.

CUTOFF BUILDER HERE.
Charles Lantry Talks Of Construction
Work on Belen'S New Road.
PUSHING WORK RAPIDLY.

Charles Lantry, of B. Lantry Sons,
the big railroad construction contract
ing firm, is in the city from Belen.
where he went a few days g on mat,
tiers concerning the construction of
the Santa Fe cutoff.
Mr.. Lantry was seen by a Citizen
representative this morning and gave
out a few facts about the building of
the new road.
81 arrived at Belen last Monday
evening" said Mr.. Lantry. "Mr. II.
H%auser, our western manager; f. n.
Nelson, l. n. Wheatley and S. A. Ma
ley, construction foremen, and S. ID.
Lucas, who has charge of u Office
work at Belen, had preceded me there
and made arrangements for my accom-
mediation.
ION Tuesday morning we left in car
riages for a trip along the line of sur
vey of the cut off and followed it to
Willard, a point at the crossing of the
survey and the grade of the Santa Fe
Central, which is between fifty and
sixty miles from where the line leaves
the Santa Fe. We found considerable
snow on Abo Pass and east of the
Manzano mountains, and our trip was
not as pleasant as it might have been
under different circumstances. The
weather was quite eyere. We didn't
tarry much along the way and return
ed TO Belen and shelter Wednesday
night.
Our first work" continued Mr.. Ian
try, lis the building Of the bridge
across the Rio Grande and the con

struction Of a short line of road from
Belen into Abo Pass canyon. In this
canyon is to be found the heaviest
work along the entire line of the cut
off.
I'VE hope to have the bridge and
these twenty some miles of road built
and suitable for traffic within the next
sixty days. Its construction will be
pushed because we need it to carry
supplies from our store house at Belen
to the outfits doing work in the can
yon. At present supplies are being
f~reighted by teams"
When asked If active work of con-
struction had as yet been started. Mr..
Lantry replied by saying that the
grade between the Santa Fe at Belen
to the river is about completed.
He also said that the building Of
the bridge would not be a feat in
bridge building as has been published
by the press of the country, but as a
matter of fact a very easy proposition,
much easier than the building Of the
bridge recently constructed over the
Rio Puerco on the Santa Fe Pacific.
The short line from Belen to Abo
Pass canyon will be constructed hur-
riedly and will not be permanent. In
some places the ties and rails will be
laid on the unbroken sand of the mesa.
Mr.. Lantry wnl return TO Belen. He
is accompanied here by Mr.. Wheatiey,
and Mr.. Nelson.

BACK FROM THE CARNIVAL.
Secretary McCanna Returns-lt is a
Bio Affair But Bad Weather.

Secretary p. +. McCanna, of the
Fair association, returned from Ell
Paso's midwinter carnival this morn
ing.
The Ell Paso fair is a big proposi-
tion,' said Mr.. McCanna this morning,
but the rain, snow and mud had rem
dered it almost impossible to pull off
any of the big attractions.
The large crowds throng the
streets; hotels and lodging houses are
full; the midway carnival is open and
crowded, but the people find little en-
joyment in walking around in the mud
and disagreable rain. 1t has been de-
cided to continue the carnival until
Wednesday of next week on account
of the disagreeable state of affairs.
THE big street parade. which is
said would have been a gorgeous af.
fair, has been postponed. In fact it is
impossible for them to do anything
until the rain and snow subsidies.
CLAY McGonnigal, the prize winner
of the roping contest at the New Mex
leo territorial fair held in this city last
year is the favorite among the rop-
ers now gathered at Ell Paso. There
are thirty-eight entries but McGonni-
gal is the big attraction.
IF 1t hadn't been for the inclemency
of the weather the midwinter carni.
nal would have been a great success,
because they had the best attractions
that money could procure. If the wea-
Their permits the remaining days of the
carnival will be as attractive as adver-
tised."
Mr.. McCanna's trip was not without
effectual features, as he distributed a
sufficient quantity of green tags, tell.
ing Of the great territorial fair that is
to take place in Albuquerque in DC
tober. 1903. to make a favorable and
lasting impression.

Several Subjects Of Minor Importance
Discussed at Today's Session.

Washington. Jan. 16.-It was stated
at the conclusion OF the cabinet meet
ing today that no matters of serious
Importance had been under considera-
ton.

chusetts authorities in arresting ofic-
ials of the agricultural department for
cruelty to animals in their efforts to
eradicate the foot and mouth disease.
The secretary's determination to con.
test the cases in the courts was APP
proved.

termined next week whether Samuel
II. Wick, the colored postmaster of
Wilson, N. c., will be reappointed.
