ADDITIONAL BOXES
FOR POSTOFFICE

One of the best evidences of
the growth of Alamogordo is the
demand for private boxes in the
postotfice. Postmaster j. M.
Hawkins states that every avail
able box is rented and the de-
mand is still unsatisfed, so ar
rangements have been made for
fifty additional boxes which will
be placed in the very near future.

Many People Ask whether Slot Machines
Come Under Ban.
LAWYERS SAY MACHINES EXEMPT

Several inquiries have been made of
the News relative to the legality Of op-
Grating slot machines under the terms
Of the anti.gambling law, which went
into effect January /.
As the News has never been admitted
to practice in the Territorial courts, it
can hardly give legal opinion, but has
obtained the cOnsenus Of opinion OF dis
interested legal lights, which leads it to
acknowledge that the new anti-gam-
bling law was not framed to prohibit
slot machines. The act covering this
point is so decidedly clear and unmis-
takeable in its terms that even an Ordin-
ary newspaper man could render an
opinion that would hold good in the
courts.
The act as passed reads as follows:
Section /. 1t shall hereafter be un-
lawful to run or operate any bankabIe
games Of chance such as faro, monte,
passfaro, passmonte, twenty. one, rou-
lette, chuck a-luck, hazard, fan tan. po-
ker, stud poker, red aud black, high
and low, craps or any other banking
game or games of chance played with
dice or cards by whatsoever name
known, in the territory of New Mexico
1t will be readily seen from the above
act that all gambling games are specif.
cally and individually named, and slot
machines are not included in the enum-
Grafton. The legality of running slot
machines must therefore be unquestion-
ed. The next legislature will undOubt
edly c9rrect the omission.

W. R. EDISON WILL BE
NAMED AS ROAD OVERSEER

DR.. J. R. Gilbert. chairman of
the county commissioners, will
name w. K. Edison, of Alamo
gordo as road overseer for the
county. This appointment was
predicted in the News on Janu-
ary 4.
Mr.. Edison before accepting
the appointment will make a
few reservations, one of which is
that he must have the power
and authority to compel every
man to pay, his road tax Of $3.
Another reservation is that he
be paid no salary whatever, but
that the salary allowed the over
seer is to be paid to man ap-
pointed by him, this man to
carry out all work under Mr..
Eidson's direction. These ar
rangements will undoubtedly be
agreeable to DIR. Gilbert, the
chairman, and it can now be
safely predicted that every man
in Otero county will pay his So
road tax or work'it out, and also
that every dollar collected will
be spent on the roads of the
county to good advantage.

Of East.
TOWN BEAUTIFUL" WILL Be RESULT

The time has come for the women of
AlamogOrdo to show what can be ae-
complished by united and intelligent &C.
tion in connection with the public af-
fairs Of the town. and there are a mum
Der OF opportunities for them to take
advantage Of. A suggestion has been
made that civic league be organized
by and limited to the women Of Alamo.
gordO, and when once organized it is
safe to assert that something noticeable
will be accomplished in the way Of the
"town beautiful" The Business Mems
club has been in existence nearly a
year and they have not even succeeded
in cleaning up New York avenue in
front of the stores. The suggestion for
the civic league included the plan oil
identifying the yards, and streets of AL
amogordo, and Offering prize OF 500
for the best kept yard, both front and
back, and the streets in front Of the
homes.
These are plans that can best be car
ried out by the women, and much to
their credit be it said, when they under
take to do a thing there is always some
thing definite accomplished. As rule
an organization of interested women is
not hampered and throttled by an end
less and meaningless lot OF rules and
regulations, but on the contrary II some
rule interferes with good results they
forget the rules and do the work
Another thing the league could take
up is the public library: this much neg
lected child Of learning is being kept
breathing by the few women who stay
with it through fair weather and foul,
but where would the library be had the
men had charge Of it?
There are also cases OF worthy char.
ity that would properly come under the
management of the women's league, and
these isolated cases when found, would
certainly be properly attended to, in
stead of teng ignored, as was the case
in some specific instances, until the
women took them up.
This same idea of all working in un,.
sou and in harmony for the heautifying
and betterment of the surroundings OF
our daily lives is not new by any means.
as every city and village in the Older
parts of the country have their leagues
Of women and children and the results
obtained are gratifying beyond measure,
not only to those directly benefited, but
to the visitor and newcomer.
Whenever called upon for assistance
or direction, the women of AlamogOrdo
have always responded noby and effec.
lively, and when this matter of beauti-
flying the town is placed In their hands,
the result is foregone conclusion that
the undertaking will be Il pronounced
success.
