Gratitude

In these days of reckless eff
fort for "the things that per-
ish with the using;;" one often
hears it said, that, the hospital
ity, and generosity of a genera
ton ago have passed away.
That the "Good Old Days
when brotherly sympathy and
neighborly interest manifest
themselves in so many kindly
and timely deeds, are the more
precious, because they were
realized only in the homes
where our "forefathers dwelt;;'
and like the scythe and fail;
gone with the age to which
they of right belonged. For
nearly a year we have watched
from the wayside the "tide of
human affairs" Quietly and
hopefully, we have almost
.longed for the day." And yet
to get back to what we started
out to say, that our point Of
vision, and practical experience
alike convince us that our
friends and neighbors by kindly
word and generous deed,
worthily maintain the "spirits
of the fathers and do honor to
their historic liberal generosity.
So munificent have been
these tokens of love and grac-
.ious consideration. that per-
sonal mention must yield to
general acknowledgement. To
all our friends we thank you,
with whole hearted apprecia-
ton. May God bless you all.
Your old pastor,
w. L. DOUGLASS.

Present indications do not
give promise of the railroads
making reduced rates for the
national republican and demo-
cratic conventions. according to
an eastern report. The subject
has been informally discussed
by eastern and western passen-
ger agents and they are dis
posed to extract full fare.
Should they persist in this de-
termination the increased
expenses to those who attend
the conventions will aggregate
at least 81 100000. The rail-
roads have been influenced in
their attitude by anti. railroad
Legislation in various states,
and still proposed, and the en-
Iactment Of laws established q
maximum rate Of 2 cents.

Paul Roadifer returned from
his trip to the coast Monday
evening. Since his departure,
Paul has been up and down the
coast and throughout Arizona.
He says the west is the place
for the ambitious young man.
At present, however, the situa-
ton in the west is bad, the
money panic having assumed
prodigious proportions out
there. Paul says he may re-
turn when the situation settles
into a normal state. However,
his many friends will be pleased
to hear that he will remain in
Logan for a few weeks at least.

railroad commission yesterday
ordered a reduction of 20 per
cent on express rates in Iowa.
The express officers have signi-
fled their acceptance of the
schedule with anything but
satisfaction and pleasure, but
with the intention of putting it
into effect on February 1. This
means that Iowa will have no
lawsuits over its express rates.

SANTA ROSA Is GROWING.
Talk of the Rock Island Extension to
MOriarity Is Being Renewed.

Santa Rosa, N. M, May THE re-
cent snow and rain have had the effect
of putting the soil in fine condition for
cultivation and the dry farmers are
jubilant.
1t is too early to predict the result
Of this years lamb crop; however, the
recent storms have caused but very
small losses in the aggregate and the
outlook is good.
Talk of the Rock Island extension
from Santa Rosa to Moriarity is being
renewed and it is conceded that this
line is only a matter of time; as is
well known the Rock Island owns a
first class line to this point as we'll as
one of the best steel bridges on the
Pecos river, and it is not admitted that
this line is to be the final end of their
extensions toward California.
1t is rumored that the E. P. & S. w.
may be granted the privilege of Oper-
ating their coal and coke trains be-
tween Santa Rosa and Dawson and the
project has many advantages. This,
however, will not bear upon the Rock
Islands transportation business,
freight and passenger.
Building at Santa Rosa continues
brisk as ever and the demand for
houses continues.
The Rock Island has placed a new
pumping plant on the bank of the
Pecos in order to take care of the in
creased consumption of water and the
shortage at other points, the supply
here being unlimited.
The public schools have closed after
a most successful school year. The
enrolment has been 2S3. Misses Belle
Sweet Bessie Telfor and Vivian Ira
hey have been re-engaged for next

still to be filled. Misses Sweet and
Telfor left Immediately for their
homes at Albuquerque in time to en-
joy part of the closing exercises at
their Alma Mater. Miss Trahey will
visit Puerto de Luna friends before
returning to her home in Las Vegas.
Miss Mclean returns to her home in
Oklahoma. Professor Templeton will
remain in Santa Rosa for the present.

Baby Girl Had Rash Behind Ears
Nothing Would Drive 1t Away

Specialists Care-Tried Every

CUTICURA REMEDIES
EFFECTED PERFECT CURE

"When my daughter was baby she
had a breaking out behind the ears.
The doctor said that she would out
grow it, and it did get somewhat better
until she was about fifteen years old,
and after that we could get nothing
that would drive it away. She was
always applying something in the way
of salves. 1t troubled her behind the
knees, opposite the elbows, back of the
neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That was
about three years ago. AS we had
tried everything that we could hear of
without help she took treatment with
a specialist and seemed to get worse
all the time. We were then advised
to try the Cuticura Remedies, end now
/ don't see any breaking out, and we
are well pleased with the results, and
I will cheerfully recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to all that may need
them. M. Curley, lilo Sixteenth ST.,

Late in the afternoon, a communica-
ton was received from w. e. Comet

asking for permission to come before
the text book commission and make a
special plea behalf of the Crane
readers, on the ground that they are a
Kansas publication. The Crane read
ers are now published, as a matter of
TACT, by the American Book company.
The board went into executive ses-
sion for the purpose of deciding what
should be done with the request. At
ter some discussion it was decided that
as the American Book company had
already been given its due share of
time in which to present it's books, it
again so far as publications of that
firm were concerned. Evidently the
members of the board felt that thew
had gone as far as they should when
they admitted the representatives of
the state W. G. T. u, who had made a
plea for one of the American BOOK
company publications.
