resolutions and the committee on
call.
The Bernalillo county contro-
versy is to be threshed out by the
special committee OF FIVE named
yesterday. This committee will
hold sessions at Albuquerque
Thursday and Friday and will
submit its report to the state CEN
trail committee soon thereafter.
Each Of the factions have agreed
to abide by the decision Of this
committee, thus assuring a truce
among the republicans of Bern
alillo county and harmony at the
November election.
The committee on call set the
dates OF the county and judicial
district conventions, which will
be held apart from the state
convention, thus establishing a
precedent which it is believed will
meet with general approval, since
it will remove complications sure
to results should all the conven-
tions be in one at the time OF the
state convention.
AS on yesterdayharmony mark
ed the second days sessions of
the central committee. General
satisfaction was expressed that the
Bernalillo county row would be
amicably adjusted. This will
mean that the republicans of
New Mexico will present a united
front at the state convention and
at the polls on November 7.

The mechanism is worked by the usual

offers no protection against the peach
track which is little if any less perilous
than the main tracks, as some recent events
events have conclusively shown. But
we are are informed that the peach track
is to be disused SO far as crossing the
highway is concerned.
This ia an excellent town improvement,
greatly needed to safeguard human life

whole state. The thanks OF this COM
munity are due the company for their
prompt erection. If for no other reason
than that the fagman's warnings were
often not only unheeded, but what is
worse, misunderstood, the gates will be
highly useful. Mr.. Wilson the former
tiagman said that people would some
times think be was waving for them to
come on and would thus endaDgsr their
