Serial Story Writing.


 To those who aim at advertising-Who wish to become widely known" in a short space of time, the serial story is a desirable field. The modern newspaper is the place to get ones name for such purpose, in order that it may, as some one says, be 'tlamed abroad" The name attached to a serial story, in a great daily, is in white light truly-if 1t stands the test of public fancy, the next com position with the same name attached, meets hearty welcome from publisher and reader.
 E It is said that some of our popular authors make their best income from serial story writing. There is an in- creasing market for this material, as all dailies are now furnishing fiction. Syn dicate's who handle fiction pay well for a timely story, just as they do for timely news. Serial story writing is also a fine field of practice for a would-be author; and whether the remuneration derived from it is much or little it is worthy of the effort to obtain a place in it, on ac- count of ,as we heard some one gay recently 'the desirable publicity"

DISPUTED STRIP.
Commissioners to Secure New Sur
vey of Las Vegas Grant Bound
ary-Mr. Romero's Case.

1t is the probable intention of the
Las Vegas land grant commissioners
to take steps to secure new suT-
Vey OF the boufGary line between the
Las Vegas grant and the Pecos For
est reserve. According to the conten-
ticn of the commissioners, the line
run by Surveyor Johnson, short
time ago is fully a mile east of the
original line made by Pelham, ana
for a distance of eight miles en-
croaches to that extent upon the Las
Vegas grant Upwards of half hun
dred farmers, who have held homes In
this strip for long time and title
from the Las Vegas grant, will be
ousted if the government contention
that the Johnson line is correct, holds.
Also the residents of the thriving vii
lage of Gallinas will be dispossessed
of their strip. The site of Ell POrve-
mir is not on the contested strip, but
the Romero saw mill is.
n VIII be remembered that the
cIdlm u Tile government " lulS sup
was the cause OF the suit against
Margarito Romero for cutting and saw
ing timber cC government land. LoEs
& Fort represent Mr. Romero iGl his
struggle to show that his title from the
grant is good, and also represent the
commissioners of the grant who will
fight the matter to a finish.
The hearing before Judge Mills
Friday was upon application from Mr..
Romero for permission to saw several
hundred logs M, his mill on the dispue-
ed strip. He agreed to pay the value
of the logs if the case should be de-
cided against the grant. The court,
however, upon the showing made by
.. S. Attorney Childers declined -
allow any modification of the injunc-
tion formerly placed upon Mr. Ro-
nero, restraining him from cutting or
saving logs otn the strip until the
question of boundary had been decid-
ed. The statement of the attorney,
general opposing modification was in
troGuced However, the court did not
lind that the logs in question were
cut on the disputed territory, and Nj.
Romero was given leave to remove
them if he wished.
