WARM POSTOFFICE
FIGHT AT CLOVIS
Present Postmaster Has Resigned and
Two Are Applicants For Job-Con-

appointment of postmaster at Clovis,

new town, is growing very rapidly and

The present postmaster has resigned
and there are two candidates for ap.
pointment, both pretty well endorsed.
One is Creel F. Copeland, real estate
and insurance agent, who came to
Roosevelt county about a year ago
from Tennessee and first settled in
Portales, the county seat. Some time
since he removed to Clovis to make
that town his residence. He is very
Strongly endorsed by leading Republi-
cans and members of Congress, who
knew him at his old home In Tennessee
and who vouch for him. He has also
secured the support of considerable
number of home people.
The other is J. H. Human who has
managed to get up considerable home
influence and is making a fight for the
position. Mr.. Humans influence is
mostly local. He came to Clovis re-
Gently from Indiana and is one Of the
original settlers of the town.
The matter is now under consider
alton by Delegate w. H. Andrews, and
will be decided shortly.
A warm fight Is also on over the
postmastership at Melrose, Roosevelt
county. The Office has just been ad-
vanced to a presidential grade ana

postmistress is a candidate for reap

ceiving attention and in some instanc-
es to almost as great degree. While
Torrance county is first in the num-

THIRTEEN PENSIONS
IN LATEST BATCH
However This UnIucky Number Does
Not Seem to Be Hodoo to
Delegate Andrews.

Delegate Andrews evidently does
not believe thirteen is an unlucky
number as the latest batch of pensions
he has secured for New Mexico veter.
ans number just thirteen. Indications
are that New Mexico's delegate in Con.
gress is not bothered by hoodoos as
his successful efforts prove. The lat
est veterans to be benefited are as
follows

month from March s, 1907.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS
A Little Talk on the Matter Of Paying
Your Subscription.

Publishers Of weekly news
papers throughout the United
States have received notice from
the postofice department that
papers cannot longer be sent to
subscribers who owe on sub
scription longer than one year.
There are a number of subscrib-
ers taking Mining News who are
affected by the new ruling. The
time is short the publishers are
given to collect back accounts.
To number Of our delinQuents
we have sent statements, but the
greater number Of. the accounts
have already been placed in the
hands of good. reliable collec-
ton agency. We hated to do it,
but business is business, you
know, and besides, Uncle Sam
tells us to hurry. We expect to
hear from people who have no
recollection of ever having sub
scribed for the paper, but we call
the attention of such persons to
a ruling by the U. S. supreme
court, as follows:
Taking periodical from the
postofice is prima facie evidence
that the person so taking is a
subscriber, unless the periodical
I is marked sample copy or
marked copy. >"
In this connection it might be
well to mention new ruling that
was put into effect by Mining
News recently. The publisher
has found by experience that
it is not best, and far from good
business practice, to permit him
self to be under obligations"
for more than a year to a reader
who takes the paper without
paying for it. Our ruling is that
we drop the name from the list
when the subscription expires,
unless we know positively that
the subscriber wants the paper
to continue coming, and will pay
for it. Again we remind you
this is business, and no reflection
| on the credit of the subscriber.
