No 'boozer" can hold a position on
any railway train on the Ell Paso &
Northeastern when his habit is known.

tin. An eating house must also be
built to replace the n burned.

zozo burned to the ground the other
day. The fire vas started by children
playing with matches in the basement,
some of them setting fire to the paper
on the walls of the room. 1t is fortu-
nate that the new hotel is just about

made, says the White Oaks Eagle.

The Needles Eye says: The santa
Fe fire department boys are practicint
for that nose cart contest at WinsloV

thing more than second money sh'
will have to earn it. Thursday thu
