The Interstate Telephone
Company of this city are going
up another notch in the rates.
The Bell telephone people may
be robbers and all that, but one
thing is certain, when they were
here doing business the Inter-
State Company charged only a
little more than half what they
are now charging. The directors
claim that they are not making
any money, but do not explain
how it was when they were char
ging such low prices while the
Bell Company were doing bust
ness here.

although he never won he always
finished strongly His appearance on
the road from Ashland to Boston on
these occasions has always created
as much interest and enthusiasm as
that of the winner. All along the
lines he is greeted with cheers.
While the "old man." as he is COM
monty called in New England, is not
a sprinter, he is a plodder who has
never been known to quit. Many
times his stamina has enabled him to
beat out opponents who were less
than half his age. Last year he fin-
lshed among the first thirty, and two
years ago he came in 32nd. In that
race il took him 3 hours, % minutes,
10 seconds to traverse the course.

Al Socorro last evening, there was

AFTERNOON, as soon as the news of
Hagerman's removal was received and
1t was expended in a public express
sion by the citizens, of their appre-
ciation of the presidents action in
removing Hagerman and appointing
Captain Curry.
AT Las Vegas, the removal of Gov
ernor Hagerman met with popular
approval and there was a general
teellng that the appointment of Cap
tain Curry would do much to at once
repair the damage wrought by the
former administration.
A number of other places reported
similar feeling among the residents
and the expression of the highest
confidence in the ability and the
square deal' of the new executive.
Only Little Danny Wept.
Contrary to the statements of the
morning paper, Albuquerque was not
thrown into mourning at the news of
the removal of the boy executive.
BUSINESS seemed to jog along in about
the same old way and there were not
many tears shed outside of the Mac
pherson fake reform crowd, every one
or whom had right to cry long and
loud. There was no disposition TO
treat the ousting of Hagerman as a
national calamity except by the morn
ing paper, to which the ahair as
sumed that magnitude. The appoint-
ment of Captain Curry as governor of
New Mexico, was received with uni
Versal approval by the citizens of AL
buquerque particularly among the
Older residents who knew him well.

SHOWN by the fact that The Evening
