Thrown over his left arm like

star of the third magnitude called
Saiph, these four stars mark the cor
ners of an irregular parallalogram,
about eighteen degrees in its great
est length, and having the belt in its
center. The three stars that form
the belt lie in an almost straight line
and are matched as perfectly in size
and tint as selected gems. Below
the belt hangs the sword made con-
spicious by short row of stars of
the fourth and fifth magnitude.
Orion is generally regarded as a
mighty hunter of gigantic stature so

Some say that he was the son of the
Amazonian queen Euryale and Nep-
tune and boosted that the mightiest
beasts Of the earth could not success
fully srive against him Then a
scorpin bit him and when he died of
the wound the gods placed him
among the stars.
Jobe is tabled to have placed Orion
among the stars as a reward Of merit
as merit was reckoned in those
days-but surely he could never
have looked upon the splendid con-
stellation which he thus gave away.

HEAVENLY BODIES
ALWAYS A STUDY

The following was sent to The
Bulletin by Cairote and was sug-
gested by an article on the comet:
The stars are the true landmarks
which are never changed. Because
of their infinite distance they are al
ways at hand, for no shifting of our
place upon this tiny earth can SEN
sibly alter their position.
Astronomy is one Of the Oldest
studies known to mankind, long be-
fore the birth of Christ each con-
stellation wis fixed in the minds of
of the ancient astronomers and the
whole sky was a pictured scroll of
Greek mythology. The mere names
of the ancient consultations cap
tivate the mind Who can look un-
moved upon Andromeda, chained
and Perseus, with diamond sword,
speeding ITO her rescue; or upon
Orion, lifting his starry club to meet
the Bull, charging headlong down
the curve of the Zodiac? 1t is fe-
licity to know Sirius, that great pris-
matte star that awed the ancient
land of the Nile at his rising, and in
whose honor immense temples, the
Oldest in the world, were erected; or
Arcturns, whose power and beauty
inspired the poet Job.
One of the most beautiful constel-
lations is that of Orion, VISIBLE in
the southwest during the middle of
the night, but will be in full view
at nine o'clock in, the middle of Jan
uary located to the south There is
nothing else in all the. sky to equal
it's splendor. The famous Southern
Cross is far inferior to Orion as a CO.
lestial spectacle. The two great first
magnitude stars, Betelguese and Ri
gel--the former something over ten
degrees above, and the latter an
equal distance below the three stars
forming the belt--seem balanced
against each other. Orion is one Of
the few consultations visible from
all parts of the earth.

The traditional figure Of Orion Is
that of Hercules. standing with up

NEW REGULATIONS WILL
GOVERN GRAZING
Secretary of Agriculture Upheld
by Courts
RESULT: NO PERMIT
MEANS NO GRAZING

Washington, December 81
The authority of the Secretary
of Agriculture to prevent the
grazing of livestock on the Ma
tional Forests without a permit
has been sustained in New Mex
leo by action of the Federal
courts in three cases in which
the defendants had caused or
permitted stock to trespass upon
the Alamo Forest in defiance of
the regulations.
Because of the belief which
has been current among stock
men of some localities during
the last year that the regulations
of The Secretary of Agriculture
with regard to grazing on the
National Forests are unenforce-
able, the New Mexico cases are
regarded by officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture as par
ticularly timely and valua BILE
The recent disposition to ques-
tiun the validity of the regula.
tions has evidently been due tC
the entirely natural desire of the
stockmen to assert what they
supposed, though mistakenly, t.
be their rights under the law a.

tary Wilson considers that th'

ALMOST DAILY SERVICE
70 CLOUDCROFT
Train and Hack Schedules Have
Deem Revised
EVERY DAY OF WEEK
EXCEPT SUNDAY

The cooperation of the postof-
fee department with the Alamo
gord0 and Sacramento Mountain
Railway, has put the Sacrament
to mountain district once more
in daily communication with AL
amogordo, and through Alamo
gordo, with the outside world.
A few weeks ago the railroad
company established thrice-a-
week service between Alamogor-
do and Cloudcroft. When that
, improvement was made, the mail
hack, which also carries passen-
gers, was scheduled on We'd
npsdays. Fridays and Saturdays.
The train schedule provided for
train on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays. Under that ar
range ment, there was both train
and hack on Wednesdays and
Fridays, and no means of COM
munication or transportation on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
In order to give the public the
very best service that could pos
sibly be arranged, the postoftice
department revised its star route
! schedule. An arrangement was
made for the train to carry the
mail on Mondays, Wednesdays
aud Fridays, and the hack line
; schedule. was changed TO run on
Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur-
days, or on alternate days with
: the train schedule.
f Under this excellent readjust-
ment of the arrangement and
S plan, Alamogordo has daily
y means of communica tiOn and
Z transportation with the Sacra-
9 mento mountain points, with
e the exception of Sunday. There
: is no train or mail hack on Sun
e day.

Long Session of Three Days and

The board of county commits
sioners held its first regular quar-

and lasting until eleven o'clock
Wednesday night. A good many
important matters had to be in
quired into, discussed and set
tied. On account of the import
ance of some of the matters it
was necessary to have the dis
trict attorney present. For the
reason that the session was a
long one, not ending until so
