GENERAL CONGRATULATIONS.

For the most part the attitude OF
the papers OF the southwest Is highly
gratifying as regards the location Of
the sanitarium ut Las Vegas. Alamo.
gorco was the only city that stood the
slightest chance against Las Vegas.
but the papers Of that city have all
graciously accepted the inevitable and
have congratulated this city cordially.
SO It Is with III Paso, who put up
$4,000 In aid Of Alamogordo.
The attitude OF J. A. Eddy Is some.
what amusing. The gentleman gets
himself interviewed In the FL Paso
Times for the purposes Of telling how
much the question OF bonus figured
and he concludes by saying that when
1t became known that such induce.
ments had been offered from Las We.
gas, he understood that "a few days
ago" consideration to the amour. of
100000 had been offered by Alamo.
gordo interests.
This explanation is naive and allur.
Ing In view OF the fact that 1t was
the certain information received here
carly In April that the Rock Island
company had offered 500, 900 in cash
and a tract OF 10000 acres OF LAM as
an inducement. It vas when the ques.
ton Of bonus was thus made to figure
that Las Vegas got busy on the ques.
ton Of inducement and outbid the
southern town, after the climatic con.
ditions OF the two locations had been
declared practically equal.
The only papers that take on an ugly
tone are those Of Deming, a city that
was abandoned three years ago by The
sanitarium people and that never had
a ghost OF q show Of the location OF
Fraternal City. However the lucubrt
lions OF the Deming editors are so bit
ter and SO wholly un~veracious that
they furnish the most humorous read
Ing matter Las Vegas has had for a
long time.
Col. r. r. Smith, who sends the fol
lowing fair and broad-minded letter
TO The Optic, need have had no fear
OF any ill-feeling felt by Las Vegans
on account Of the bitter wall of the
Deming editors:

A Word for the Mule.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Some time since The Star said there was
a demand for mules in the city-that they
stand city work better than horses. Since
then l have noticed that a great many are
now used. some of them not as humanely
as they should be. While a mule will stand
more hard knocks than a horse and has
feet that will last better on asphaltum
streets. not being so susceptible to lame
ness. he, like a horse will work twice as
many years II used well than he will II
overloaded from day to day and hur-
ried when he should be given ample time
for work. Then, again. there are some
mules used that are small and have the
appearance Of not having arrived at the
age when they could withstand hardship or
even hard work Neither mules nor horses
should be heavily loaded driven fast
when young and not matured, at six or
seven years of age, when they should be in
their prime, they are not In as good con-
dtion animal twice that age which
has always had the care of thoughtful
drivers.
Don't treat mule as If he were an in
animate engine. 1 sometimes see a team
Juggling away at a heavy load with never
an opportunity to rest on hill. One min
ute of rest occasionally will help mule
wonderfully on an up grade. OF course,
with heavy load longer rest would be
better. 1t is to be regretted that so much
heavy hauling is done with vehicles which
have no brakes attached to check the mo-
mentum on down grades, when an animal
should be resting instead of holding back
the load that was so heavy on the up
grade.
If you will but notice, you can tell if a
team Is overworked. You may see a great
frame of a mule with scarcely any flesh
on the bones Sometimes 1t is the nature
OF the animal. but generally the cause or
overwork or undertaking, or both.
If it is a question of Overworking an ami
NAL for brief season or failing In an un-
dertakng the wrong might be condoned,
but there is no excuse for overworking any
animal for the purpose of accommodating
dollars, which you may never need l
imagine there is no man or set of men
whom old ST. Peter will assign to their
proper places with more alacrity when they
knock on the gate than just those who

Failed to Reach Ship on Time

Four sailors on the monitor Arkansas
Jesse Ends, 1. ]. Bradley, Harry Morris and
Joseph Romans. failed to return to their
ship upon the expiration of their shore
leave and had to be assisted back. They
were found by Policemen Vermillion and
Mcdonnell last night, after lookout for
them had been received at the first precinct
and returned to the monitor in time to leave
with the crew this morning. Two others
who were reported missing were not found
by the police. There was no allegation that
the men had deserted, but they were de-
scrbed in the message as ''stragglers.' 1t
is not an unusual occurrence for sailors to
get shore leave and then fail to reach their
ship on time. Such was the case with
six men from the Arkansas. but four of
them, as already stated, were returned in
time to sail and will not have to board
train and overtake the monitor at some
other point.

order. The motion to repeal was defeated
Thereupon a subcommittee representing
five of the District councils submitted a
resolution providing for the adoption of
what is known in Arcanum circles as
Table B. as opposed to the ruling of the
Supreme Council. This provides that the
rates shall be based upon the age of entry,
and not upon the attained age of the mem
Der, or that. In other words, the increase in
rates shall be made upon the former rather
than the latter basis. This resolution was
adopted, but, for reasons best known TO

their representatives to the Supreme Coun-

Mrs. Elizabeth Noble, forty-eight years
old. living at 1910 Brightwood avenue was
found wandering about the street in the
vicinity of her home about 80 o'clock
