the bureau of immigration of Gran
Vile Pendleton, chairman of the board
has been received In San Juan county

here and Mr.. Pendleton has made no
statement in connection with it. In
addition to his law practice Pendleton
has considerable land interests here
and in the county. 1t is generally un-
derstood that he will be a candidate
for the republican nomination for the
house from San Juan county, but he
will not have the clear field he has
had before. At least one candidate is
already in the field against Pendletoa,
young man of unimpeachable integ-

a great many warm personal friends

were to secure the republican noml-
