LEGISLATION Badly Needed.

Two shipments of material
have recently been received at
this Office, one from Denver and
one from Chicago. The ship
ment from Chicago was made on
December % and arrived here
January A, while the goods were
billed out of Denver December
| 26 and arrived at Carrizozo on
January Is. The distance is
much greater from Chicago yet
freight was seven days longer
in coming from Denver, If this
were a single instance, or even
an occasional occurrence, we would
not have mentioned it, but it is
a regular thing and the time our
shipment was on the road is
short compared to that frequent
ly required by Denver shipments.

The Territory of New Mexico
today is in better condition than
ever before in its history and
immigration into its confines is
larger than ever before. Thanks
to the efficient and honest Re-
publican administration since
1897 and the enactment and
carrying into effect of many
wholesome statutes passed by
Republican legislative assemblies
and approved by Republican
governors. These facts cannot
be successfully contradicted by
fake reformers and tax dodgers
and by yellow sheets, The PEG,
