Will Retire From Business.

The stock in the J. w. Miller store
is to be sold out Immediately and the
business will be closed. That is the
announcement made to the News by
Will NJ. Miller, who purchased the
stock from his fathers estate last
Saturday.
Mr. Miller states that he will con-
tinue the fertilizer, orange box ma
terial and hay and grain business
from the warehouse on the dock,
and that the retirement simply
means that he will get out of the
grocery business. He has arranged
to continue as agent for E. 0. Paint
er's fertilizers.
OF course the closing out of the
grocery stock means that for a few
days there will be run of bargains
in table necessities as Mr.. Miller
proposes to close out quick.

method Of electing the President Of

|. Since the FIRST incorporation Of
said City the President has been elect
ed by the Council, or the Board Of Sc
Iectmen as it was then styled, from
among its own members. and later by
the Electors at Large, as Councilman at
Large; who by virtue Of his Office was
President Of the Council with only the
right to vote in case OF a tie. This
change was made to avoid the casting
of two votes by one member Of the
Council, one as a member and anoth-

In our judgment, time honored Gus

II. The Mayor, in our opinion,
should be entirely free from participa-
ton in the legislation Of the City, ex-
cept as now authorized to recommend
such measures as he believes best for
the public interest, and to exercise the
veto power with which he is now in
vested.
When free from any connection with
the legislation Of the Council, the May

gives him ample time to investigate un-
lawful and i'll advised acts, giving the
public the benefit Of mature iudg-

AS President Of the Coucnil, the
casting vote will be equivalent to the
exercise of the veto power, and would
be too hastily given, and thereby in

Facts about the Charter
Amendment.

The changing Of the city charter so
as to let the mayor preside over the
deliberations of the Council is plain
practical business proposition, that you
would not hesitate to carry out in your
private affairs. The Councilman at
large has no duties to perform, only
part Of what the mayor is elected, paid
and ought to be required to do
In all towns that we know of the
mayor presides over the council, APP
point the committees and take hand
in all the affairs Of city. and assumes
all the duties and responsibilities Of
his Office - and no good reason can
be given why he should not do the
same in Okolona. The argument. that
he ought not to be asked to enforce
the laws, he has helped to make, is
proven to be no good, by thousands Of
mayors, in thousands Of cities and
towns every day in the year.
Nothing Of Importance is ever pas
sed by the council without discussion
and investigation and if the mayor
presides and hears all the arguments,
he will be better prepared to approve
or veto. than if he was shut out (as is
now the case) and has to do all his
investigating without their aids.
This is no new issue; the council
man at large was elected two years
ago for the express purpose OF abolish
ing the Office and letting the Mayor
assume his full duties as such.
We were told then that this
extra councilman was Fifth wheel to
the wagon, and that much surplus bag
gage to carry for no possible good to
the city.
Ii was true then, and just as true
now, Tor no new conditions have
arisen to change the facts in the case

ancient and useless custom, and adopI
the business-like methods Of our sister
cities, who are progressive and pros.

Office.

Map Of San Cristobal Quadranqe.

A map of the San Cristobal quad
rangle, Colorado, which embraces an
area of about 944 square miles and
eral, La Plata and San Juan counties
has recently been published by the
United States Geological Survey.
This area is one of the most highly
elevated regions recently surveyed by
the government. 1t ranges in altitude
from about 500 feet to 1850 feet
above sea level and only a very small
part of it is below 5000 feet. The Con
tinental divide extends entirely across
the sheet twice in an east and west di-
rection. swinging around the head OF
the Rio Grande, the source of which is
a short distance beyond the western
boundary of this area
There are few mining settlements
in the northwest part OF the quad
rangle and number of hay ranches
in the lower valleys, but the greater
part of the area is uninhabited and
contains some of the most rugged
mountain country to be found in the
United States. Portions of the San
Juan and Cochetopa national forests
are included in the quadrangle.
Numerous mountain lakes are found
in this quadrangle and from one of
these the quadrangle takes its name
Some of these lakes are especially
beautiful. Deer and mountain sheep
are quite numerous and the streams
abound in trout.
