The Las Vegas optic In It's issue OF
Friday last contained a very timely
and well written editorial headed.
Newspaper Etiquette" The Optic
Is Of The opinion that there should be-
no personalities concerning editors

umns Of New Mexico newspapers.

THE HOTEL SITUATION.

Another gratifying sign Of improved
conditions In Las Vegas is the decis-
ion OF the Santa Fe company 10 In.
crease materially The accommodations
at the ~Castaneda, TO which fuller ref
renee is made elsewhere In this issue.
The Castaneda a always done large
and profitable business. Like all 9th
or hotels managed by Fred Harvey It
has furnished the best of service to
the travelling public. But except in
times Of UNUSUAL rush. 1t has been
large enough 10 meet all demands, No
better indication OF the general i'm.
provement In conditions In this part
of the country and OF the belief of
the Santa Fe that Las Vegas is To be.
come an increasingly important town
from a railroad standpoint can be had
than the resolution to add TO the
railway hotel accommodations here.
With the establishment OF the san.
itarium, which Las Vegans believe will
certainly come, with the carrying oul
of the reservoir project. which - -e.
lieved to be just as certain. with the
re-opcning Of the Montezuma, the ear
ly completion Of the Scenic Highway,
the future never looked brighter for
Las Vegas. The city is bound TO be,
come a fayorite resort for thousands
seeking rest and change and health
for thousands Of lovers of magnificent
mountain scenery and. what Is better
far, for thousands of homebnilders.
The Increase In the hotel accommo
dations adds to the reputation and tc
the desirability of fhe city. Every
new hotel results IN better business
for all the hotels. This has been tho
experience of Las Vegas in common
with almost every western city.
Therefore, II Is gratifying TO know
that not only with the Montezuma, !
reopened, be conducted as a first class
hotel, and that the Castaneda Is to b.
much enlarged, but that a large, moo
ern and finely equipped and furnished
hotel Is certain to he built before
year passes in the heart of the city

Mr.. Dalies, though a brilliant young

the bill creating the new commission
OF irrigation was passed by the last

For this reason. the New Mexican

awake and torment me, but he re-
ceived only abuse. The day after he
did the same, with no better success.

that | had lost my time l told him
that he did not know how to manage
his business; that he ought to think Of
my promise and not to mind my
threats. The day following he en-
ployed force, and l begged for indul-
gence, bid him begone, l stormed, but
Joseph persisted. l was therefore
obliged to comply, and he was reward
ed every day for the abuse which he
suffered at the moment when awoke
by thanks, accompanied with a crown,
which he received about an hour after.

A PERFUME THAT SMELLS.
The Awful Odor That Comes From
Pure Altar of Roses

The Awful Odor That Comes From
Pure Altar of Roses.
The perfumer took from his desk a
small flask Of copper.
'In TASKS like this altar Of roses
comes to u.s." he said Altar Of roses
is worth from $40 to $25 an ounce, ac-
cording to the market. This flask IL
empty now, but in it little odor still

The visitor smiled delightedly. He
had never smelt pure altar of roses be-
fore. Now he unscrewed the stopper
and, closing his eyes, with an ecstatic
look he applied his nostrils to the flask.
But only for an instant. Then he
threw back his head, twisting his
features into grimace of disgust, and
he exclaimed:
"Garbagel Bone yardsl Glue fac

The perfumer laughed.
"All essential oils smell like that" he
said. Yet no good perfume can be
made without them"
He took from a shelf cut glass jar

ounces Of pure altar of roses worth

He put few drops of the altar into
a vial. He filed the vial with spirits
Of musk, another of orris, then one Of

Of vanilla. and. finally, the oil of cloves
and bergamot.

'Exquisite!" said the visitor.

her appreciation, bought box of can

herself box of tooth powder, the two
purchases making packages Of similar
size and appearance. Then she sought
out her benefactress.

"The rabbit of my country" said an
Australian, will fight a circular saw,
and that is one of the chief reasons
why our government has been offering
for years an immense sum of money to
the man whose cleverness will rid us
of the pest. There is no dog over there
gritty enough to give them combat
"In some remote sections of Australia
we have a rabbit which is nearly the
equal of the panther in size and which
when aroused will whip any panther or
other species Of wildcat Of its size as
easily as a cat will crush a mouse.
They carry of pigs, poultry and young
sheep to their mountain lairs, and there
is tradition that they have, when as
sailed by hunger, attacked full grown
men. At any rate, the people Of these
districts dread them to such an extent
that they never fail. to carry their
trusty rifles along, even when paying
neighborly calls.
at is the odium these fighting bum
MES have brought on the rabbit family
that makes Australia SO eager to be rid
of the beasts. l suppose the kind you
have in the States are quite bad
enough, but for heavens sake never
allow any of our terrors to land on
your soil lest they propagate and make
for you the same miserable rabbit prob
lem that has worried US so long,

Peel Your Fruit.

The skins of fruit should never be
eaten, not because they are not pala-
table or digestible or are unhealthy in
themselves, but on account Of the dan
ger arising from microbes which have
penetrated into the covering Of the
fruit. Everybody has noticed that at
times a slight scratch will create a
considerable sore on the human body.
1t is generally ascribed to an unhealthy
condition of the blood, but close mi

sound and healthy, but on the skin or

present. 1t Is possible to eat this COW
ering without injury, but the danger
is such that it is best not to incur the
