1T?

Special to the New Mexican,
Alamogordo, N. M, Dec. 1.-TWO

man."
Mr.. knight and his son went on the
land, took load Of lumber for house

GENERAL STORM.
Snow Falls All Around-Torranc
and Willard Get About Eight
Inches Each.

The snow that greeted the early
risers today is general and the storm
that has covered large part of the
western country is still extending.
Although the indications last eve.
ming pointed to snow the average citi.
zen was surprised to find everything
covered with the feecy white this
morning as there was little wind dur.
ing the night and hence the fall was
noiseless.
The storm originated in the Pacific
and came across the Gulf of California
and then worked from the southwest
to the northeast. 1t is now moving
north and northeast. Reports from
Denver today state that it is clouding
up there, but that the storm has not
arrived
AT Kennedy it is calm and light
snow has fallen. At Estancia it was
still showing during the morning and
six inches of snow were on the ground.
At Torrance eight inches had fallen
and it is cain and cold. At Willard
it showed nearly all night and there are
now eight inches on the ground. 1t
has cleared up there. At Santa Rosa
there is light snow extending to Car
rizozo. Cerrillos has a light snow and
Is now calm.
At Espanola it is warmer and cloudy
but no snow.
At Embudo it Is warm and cloudy,
with light north wind, but no snow
At Antonito it is warmer and cloudy
but no snow.
AT Alamosa it is warmer and cloudy
but no snow.
AT Lamy it is warm and cloudy with
no rain or snow.
At Las Vegas there was snow last
night and it is cloudy this morning
with probably more snow during the

At Ration there is light north wind
no snow yet, but cloudy.
At Albuquerque it rained last night
and there were light showers and
very cloudy this morning.
At Ell Paso it has been showing
since Sunday, nearly four inches fall

Thence Home.

Special to the New Mexican.

publican member of the legislature Of
the state of Texas, from El Pas0 COun-
ty, will be appointed U. s. collector OF
customs for the Ell Paso district vice
Patrick F. Garrett, present incum-
bent. Garrett will leave for New
York tomorrow and then go home.
Early Advices.
Washington, Dec. 12.-From an alb
solute private, but reliable source, it
is learned that the chances are very
decidedly against the re-appointment
of Patrick F. Garrett, formerly of
New Mexico, as collector of customs
for the Ell Paso Customs district.
There is great opposition to CARROTS
re-appointment, not only in Ell Paso,
but also in many of the leading towns
of the customs district. 1t is under
stood that the appointment will go to
a candidate from Texas, President
Roosevelt having declared that he
favored home rule whenever and
wherever possible.
