$4,000 ON MOGOLLON ROAD
socorro County Expected TO Contrib
ute toward Building Road between
Silver City and Mogollon.

Arrangements for the substan-
tial improvement of the wagon
road between Silver City and
Mogollon have progressed far
enough to make it practically
certain that the plans will be ex-
ecuted in every detail. The
road is approximately ninety
miles long, and it is the inten-
tion of the promoters of this
much needed improvement to
spend $4,000 to get it in good
condition for vehicle traffic. So
zorro county is expected to con-
tribute 80. 500, Grant county ST..
500, the merchants of Silver
City 1000 (SS00 of which has
already been pledged), making a
total of $1,000. To this amount
$4,000 will be added by the So
zorro Mines Company and Ernes-
tine Mining Company, bringing
the grand total up to $4,000.
The plans for the contemplated
improvements will be decided
upon by a committee of three
members from Silver City and
three from Mogollon, who will
act in conjunction with the
boards of county commissioners
of Socorro and Grant counties. -

A Woman Who Had Many Warm
Friends in Both Socorro and
Magdalena.

The Chieftain is in receipt of
the following notice concerning
the death of Mrs. Tiblrcia Flores,
a former resident of Socorro:
Magdalena, Dec. D, 1908.
Editor Chieftain:
Mrs. Tiburcia Flores died
Monday morning at S o'clock at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Kuoblock twelve miles from Mag
dalena, where she had been a
guest for some time. The cause
of the death was nothing more
than the infirmities and weak
ness of old age. Mrs. Flores
lived in Socorro a great many
years, but lately made her home
in Magdalena. In both places
she had many friends who will
be sorry to hear of her death.
Mrs. Flores was good, kind and
charitable and we'll thought of
by everybody. She leaves three

CITY OF SOCORRO IN 1891
An Interesting Editorial Telling of
the Condition Of the Gem City
Years Ago.

The following editorial from
column of the Chieftain of De-
cember IS, 1891, is now of special
interest as telling of the condi-
tion of the Gem City at that
time:
With this issue of the Chief
tain our work for 1891 will close.
During the past wear Socorro has
improved very perceptibly. The
FIRE clay works have been es-
tablished, the Rio Grande smell
ter has been enlarged and inn
proved, arrangements have been
made for a bridge over the Rio
Grande at this point, and the
building of the School of Mines
is up and about under roof.
Many new dwellings and store
buildings have been built; there
has been no factures. Two new
banks have been esta blished and
one newspaper, and yet Socorro
is a very quit little city. Our
merchants report that trade has
not been so good for years as it
has been this fall. This speaks
worlds of good cheer for Socorro,
and to those who find fault and
grumble, we will say, there are
many places that make more
pretentions that are not half as
good towns as Socorro. :"

INAUGURATION, GRAND AFFAIR
Plenty of Money to Make Pageant
Greatest in Years Enormous
Crowd Expected.

A. press dispatch from Wash
iugton concerning the Inaugural
tion of President-elect Taft says;
IF money has anything to do
with making the Inauguration a
success, that Of President-elect
Taft on March 4th next will be
the greatest the country has
ever seen. Already Chairman
Giles of the finance committee
has in his possession a guaranty
fund of $4,000, which is $4,000
larger than the amount received
four years ago, and it is expect
ed that before contributions
cease the fund will be considera-
bly, larger.
The chief source OF revenue
for the return of this guaranty
fund is the inaugural ball, which
brought in $40, 200 four years
ago, while the income from the
reviewing stand was $50, 900. Ii
is expected that there will be at
least 100000 visitors in Wash
ington on Inauguration day."

Mr.. and Mrs. +. H. Richards Form
er1y Of San Marcial Are Host and
Hostess.

The Park House will be re-
opened for the entertainment OF
guests on the first day of Janu-
airy. Old-timers who used to
stop at this hotel forty years
and more ago would hardly rec
oguize IL nov, SO great have
been the changes recently made
in and about the building. The
row of ruined adobe rooms on the
north side OF the plazita has been
torn down and a row of comfort
able new rooms has taken its
place. a large dining room and
kitchen have been built on the
south side of the rooms that
formerly served as Office aud din
ing room, and the whole Park
street front OF that wing of the
building has been substantially
rebuilt in brick. Old roofs have
every where been replaced with
new ones of tin. The inside of
the building has undergone a no
less complete overhauling than
the outside. The rooms have
been thoroughly repaired and
newly furnished. A glimpse at
one of them shows that they are
in apple pie order. Mr.. and
Mrs. Richards have an excellent
reputation in their line of busi-
ness and everybody may feel as
sured that Socorro now has
hotel that will meet all reasona-
ble demands.

ALL HAD TURKEY FOR DINNER
Prisoners at the Pen Also Enjoyed a
Full Holiday and a Minstrel
Show

According to the following
from the New Mexican, the pris-
oners at the territorial peuiten-
tiarY must have enjoyed a Merry
Christmas with all the rest of
the world:
Christmas at the territorial
penitentiary will bring to the
prisoners confined there as much
of the holiday cheer as is possi-
bic in the circumstances. Capt,
John w. Green, superintendent,
will give his prisoners a full
holiday, and will also feed them
with a genuine Christmas dinner
of turkey and the usual accom-
panimentS. In the afternoon the
prisoners will be entertained by
an amateur minstrel show to be
given by a troupe of St. Johns
Methodist Episcopal church of
this city.
The prisoners who are at
work on the Scenic Highway
will also have a holiday and will
have their Christmas dinner in
camp. The prisoners at the PEN
itentiary are a cheerful lot under
Capt. Green's benevolent and eff
fective rule. They do their
work without complaint, and will
appreciate the superitendents' eff
forts to bring into their solitary
lives something of the happiness
that pervade the world at Christ
mas"

TO CHANGE SCHOOL Law
Important Recommendations Will
Be Made to the Next Assem-
bly, by the School Board.
CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS
Il Will Be recommended Also That
Superintendents Be Elected in
the Spring.

tno spring.
A recent issue of the Santa Fe
New Mexican contained an arti-
Gle concerning certain proposed
changes in the school laws which
should be read and poudered by
all citizens of the territory who
have the welfare of the public
schools at all at heart. Rapidly
changing conditions in the terri
tory are making some radical
changes in the school laws inn
perative. The New Mexican's
article is as follows;
Among the amendments
which will be recommended to
the thirty-eighth territorial as
sembly by the board of educa-
tion besides those already an
nouuced are three which concern
vitality the progress of the edu-
cational work of the territory.
These amendments have not yet
been formulated, but are in
course of preparation by various
attorneys who are acting for
those who suggested them to the
board.
One of these is to authorize
the consolidation of schools in
Sparsely settled districts, and to
provide for the transportation of
pupils who live more than two
miles from the school house.
This amendment, it is thought,
will not only make for a better
morale in the schools, but by in
creasing the number of pupils
will make it possible to secure
better teachers, higher and Sc
quential course of study and a
lonEer school term, and at the
same time save considerable ex-
penSe.
Another is a recommendation
which came from certain county
superintendents, asking that the
elections for superintendentS be
held in the spring at the same
time as the municipal and dis
trict elections instead of in No
vember at the time of the gem
eral elections. This recommen-
dation was adopted by the board
aud the superintendent of the
schools of Grant county, who
was one of those who recon-
mended the change, and who is
a lawyer, is preparing the
amendments. By electing super
intendents in the spring il is
urged, the school management
could be effectively divorced from
local politics. Moreover the SUI
perintendent would go into Office
in August instead of in January
and would take up the work
from the beginning of the school
year instead of in the middle as
at present.
"A third proposition which
came from business men in diff
ferent parts of the territory, and
which was adopted by the board,
is an amendment prohibiting
county superintendents from
teaching school during the in
cumbency of their office. There
is no prohibition in the present
law against their teaching, and
many of them have been doing
it, notably in ColfaX and OterC
counties. In view of the fact
that the superintendents has tC
approve all school warrants, it is
thought better to make a posi-
tive prohibition against their
teaching and an amendment tC
that effect will be offered"

EnaIish Mineral Springs.

In sinking an artesian well at New
lyn, England, an interesting discovery
has been made in tapping springs of
highly mineralized water. The sink
ing of the well was undertaken, in con-
uection with the factory which has
been erected for the manufacture of
Ice, to procure water to use in ice
making. A depth of about $50 feet has
been reached, two tin lodes having
meanwhile been passed through, and
water from the springs reached was
submitted for analysis to Mr.. j. ii. Bo-
sanko of the Penzance mining and sci
ence schools. He was surprised to
6nd that the water was highly miner
allied. The simple test revealed an
abnormal quantity of iron in the wa
ter, showing that it must be running
through rich mineral veins No water
of this description has ever been found
in west Cornwall, and it is thought
that perhaps it may possess medicinal
properties Of some value.

and the most positive proof given
that they can be cured. Read what
a Hopkinsville citizen says:
Mrs. W. C. Owen, 212 E. Four
teenth street, Hopkinsville, KY,
says: 81 do not hesitate to recon
mend Doans Kidney Pills as an ex-
cellent remedy for kidney complaints.
! speak, too, for them in behalf Of
my husband, who was cured of back
ache OF severe nature some two
years ago, when we were living at
Curdsville, KY. He had suffered
and complained a good deal and
some days it was all he could do to
drag himself about. STOPPING or
lifting caused him to suffer more in
tensely. Finally Doan's Kidney Pills
we're highly recommended to him
and he procured them. They soon
helped him and by the time he had
taken the contents Of two boxes he
was completely rid of the trouble.

forward serrated edge normally rests
against the front wall Of the box be-
low the letter slot. A light spring
serves to hold the plate in this posi-
ton. When a letter Is introduced into
the box the plate yields before it, and
the letter drops on dehector plate
just below. This serves to throw the
letter toward the rear of the box,
out of reach from the slot. The play
of the swinging plate is limited by a
stop pin, so that it can move only far
enough to admit the letters. The at
