For "POst Office" Sign.

The post office building inspec-
tor was around this week and
after looking all over town for
the post Office failed to find it
on account of there being no
sign up and asking a gentleman
to inform him where the post
office was he was told that he
was standing in front of it. He
went inside and Immediately in
quired of Postmaster Hawkins
why there was no sign up so peo-
pie could find the post office?
So, you can bet there will be
one up right away, and people
coming here will not have to run
over town looking for the post
office. We understand that the
front of the building will also
receive a new coat of paint. 1t
is good that Uncle Sam sends a
man around occasionally to show
us where we are at. The idea of
living in an up-to-date town with
5000 or 1000 inhabitants and no
post Office sign!

No Strike at Log Camp.

A rumor got out this week
that a strike at the Alamogordo
Lumber Camp had tied up all
work. This paper made investi-
CATION and learned that the
rumor started by some" "knocker"
who has it in for the company
and one or two men working for
the company, and once it gained
footing among the "kalamity"
kind it was gobbled up by some
tid-bit politicians who said a
strike was on among the log
gers" and construction men on
account of A. B. Phillips going
back to work for the company.
From the AlamOgordo Lumber
Company office we learned that
only a few Mexicans had quit
work, and most of them had
gone back, that they quit for
some little disturbance on ac-
count of not liking their work.
The meanest set of people we
have here are the few knockers
we have who live like teaches,
and the smallest set of people
we have are the political knock
ers,

Depot Mail Box Smashed.

Quite a sensation was raised
Tuesday morning when it was
learned that the mail box at
depot had been smashed. Fly
ing rumors soon gained speed
and people were guessing at the
amount of mail matter stolen
and the round numbers of dollars
extracted therefrom, not think
ing for a minute that money
is never put in a depot mail box.
Men and boys got busy and soon
the truth was learned, then it
was easy to see how the depot
trunk trucks were backed up
against the contact consequent
thereto great enough to loosen
and dislodge and smash the U.
S. mail receptacle.

A formal call for applications

Postal Violation.

Last November a man now liv-
ing at Alamogordo mailed at a
Kansas town, a package of cou-
pons for the American Tobacco
Company, and enclosed some
writing with relation to the c6u-
pons or the premium expected.
Postage was paid at the rate for
fourth class matter instead of at
the letter rate. Examination of
the package at st. Louis was
made as required by law. The
result was a report toa postal in
spector. This week Postmaster
Hawkins received an inquiry
from the department as to the
mental responsibility of the
Kansas man. The communica-
tion states that for each otfense
of this character fine of $40
will be imposed. Within due
time, the inspector for the New
Mexico district will come along
and collect the sum. The post
master here has warned several
people who have repeatedly
either Intentionally or carelessly,
made efforts to pass packages
with writing concealed, and if
any such person is called down
by the department such previous
efforts will be investigated by
| inspectors and the penalty in
creased. He recently received
special orders to make up a
case" against the first person
found violating the law. The
department is losing patience
with persons who commit this
petty offense to save two cents
which would carry a letter con-
tanning written matter wrongly
placed in a package. Several
persons in Ell Paso have recently
paid fines. The plea of first
oiEense" or did not know there
was writing in the package"
ayailed nothing as the law is ar
bitrary and no excuse is provid-
ed for, not even court trial is
necessary. The presence of writ
ing in a package on which less
than first class postage was paid
lis sufficient proof Of a violation.

Rode Like Other Humans.

1t seemed to be somewhat a
surprise to many who went to
the train to see Capt. Curry the
other night that George wasn't
riding in a special car. In fact
it was a wonder to some to see
such an unexplainable perform
ance. One wise hombre under
took to explain, and he being a
Democrat, said: George is a
Democrat, you know, and he has
sense enough to not put himself
under obligations to no corpora
tion."
Wouldn't that kill you?
Say, Mister Democrat, why
didn't George stop in Albuquer-
que and wine and dine with the
Journal so as to get some reli-
able Democratic information?"

GUARD THE PRESIDENT.
Never More Anxiety About His Safety
Than at Present Time.

New York, Aug. 21.-Those charged
with the responsibility of Mr.. Roose-
velt's personal safety never have been
more anxious at any time since he be-
came president than they are at the
present moment. An important official
of the government. whose business
brought him to New York several days
ago said:
Il am not an alarmist in any sense
but the condition of affairs in New
York at this time is ugly Ominous
mutterings are to be heard among all
classes. The man who loses money in
the stock market places the blame on
the. president. He is the man we have
to fear. He perhaps has lost his ALL
and doesn't care what may happen
That is the man against whom the
president has to be guarded. 1t is the
hope of the country that at such a time
as this the president may not expose
himself in any unnecessary manner"
1t is known that extraordinary pre-
cautions were taken to insure Presi-
dent Roosevelt's safety at Province
town, Mass. He made the trip from
Oyster Bay to Provincetown on the
Mayflower and from the minute he
landed until he again was safely aboard
the yacht, he was surrounded by his
alert guards. In addition to the secret
service officers, a substantial force of
marines was landed to assist in hand
ling the crowd.

HITS THE BIC ONES
What Proposed Raise in Cream
cry Rates Would Do.
Cripple Large Concerns and
Help Small Ones.
GETS LITTLE SOLACE.
Chairman KanaveI Hints That
No Rate Will Be Raised.
Unique John Stewart Makes
Interesting Plea.

Declaring frankly that they expect
to put the big creamery companies out
of existence by withdrawing from the
business of hauling cream for long dis
tances on passenger trains, the repre-
sentattves of the railroad companies
came before the chairman of the state
board of railroad commissioners Tues
day and informally requested a hearing
on their application to increase cream
rates on the Rock Island, Frisco and
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads
in the state of Kansas.
This request was backed up by John
Stewart, of Concordia, president of the
Independent Buttermakers' association
of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. and
proprietor of a small creamery at Con-
cordia. Other Independent creamery
men were present, and urged favorable
action on the request
I'VE will expect some very strong evil
dence to induce US to raise any freight
rates. said Geo. W. KanaveI THE
people of this state are demanding that
we reduce freight rates not Increase
them. We are getting letters every day
demanding that we take action. and the
newspapers are hammering us because
we don't do things to suit them There
fore we will hesitate a long time before
proposition is all right, and the rates
should be increased, but forty-five out
of fifty people of this state won't think
So.''
Il think you are mistaken about
that said B. w. Redfern the general
dairy commissioner of the Rock Island
and Frisco lines. "They might get after
you if you raise rates now but after
this whole matter has been given a
hearing, and the situation is made clear
to them, believe that they will approve
the increase in rates.
John Dewitt, the general baggage
agent of the .. B. 6, @. lines, urged the
justice in increasing rates.
I'VE expect to prove to this board"
he said, that the present rates for long
haul on cream are unreasonably low.
Up in Nebraska the average rate is
about II cents a can; here in Kansas /
understand it is about Is. If we increase
the long distance rates, the object will
be to increase them so that we will go
out of the business of hauling cream
for long distances. We want to make
that rate prohibitive. We don't want to
haul cream as baggage. The result will
be that many small creameries will
spring up all over the state and they
will do the business which is now being
done by the big centralized creameries
We will haul just as much cream, but 1t
will be shorter hauls."
John Stewart, the Concordia creamery
man, is a tall, bald. headed man with
a keen eye, and a determination which
has enabled him to continue in the
creamery business in Kansas in spite
of the threats of the butter trust'' to
crush him. He hands out a straight
talk garnished with profanity, and says
exactly what he thinks.

Not Only in France, But in

Tangier, Aug. 21.-A sensational
incident occurred during the celebra-
ton of MONDAY prayers at the grand
mosque of Djidid at Fez yesterday A
soldier suddenly shouted: May Allah
render our master Moulay Moham-
med victorious Mohammed is the
sultan's brother and as the public
proclamation is traditionally the sig
nal for a revolution, the faithful who
were at prayers fled in a fright into
the streets, creating a general panic.
In a very short time all the shops
were closed and the Jews barricaded
themselves in their residences. The
troops on duty at the mosque seized
the soldier who created the disturb
ance. 1t developed that he was a con-
verted Jew and he was beaten un-
mercifully and was taken, covered
with blood to prison, where he will
probably be beheaded. Later calm
was restored in the city.
Situation Is More Serious.
Paris. Aug 21.-The Moroccan sit
uation is regarded here as having as

Morocco, the proclamation of Mulai

pearance of new Moorish army be-
fore Casa Blanca have created the
fear that the whole country will soon
