been published for many years.
Neither paper has made its publish
ers fabulously rich. Recently they got

enough business there for one paper,
but not enough for two. The result
was that the two papers have consol-
idated, and hereafter one paper will
be published. 1t must be that Lords

This section Of the country had
some storm last week. There was so
much OF It that IL lasted over into
this week. II commenced Thursday
night, and Friday morning the coun-
try was covered with snow, and IL was
still showing, which kept up at in
tervals all day and Friday night. Ac-
cording TO the measure OF Cooperative
Observer J. II. Mcclure there we're
nine inches Of snow during the storm,
which when melted made I.54 inches
Of water. The snow melted slowly,
and the water sunk into the ground,
instead Of running of, as is its habit,
when It falls as rain, and thus did a
great deal Of good for the stockman.
1t was a cold day Friday, the Their
mometer only getting up to 80 that
day, and Friday night 1t fell to %.
Saturday was still colder, the Their
mometer only reaching IS. and satur-
day night 1t fell to %. Sunday was
cold and cloudy with snow threaten
and 1t did not clear up till Mon
day, and ever then did not do a very
good job Of clearing, but after Satur-
day night the Thermometer did not
get down to the freezing point until
the snow was all gone. There was
also considerable fog in the L~ordsburg

LAST Friday morning fire was dis
covered in the press room Of the Santa
Fe Eagle. The fire was confined to
that room by the department, but
put the presses In pretty bad shape.
The loss was estimated at over "a, 900
with insurance amounting to $1,000.
The Eagle was owned by Al Loomis,
formerly Of Grant county, who says
the weekly edition Of the Eagle had
been printed the previous day, and
there had been no fire In the room
since. and he had no idea as to how
the fire started. Other people we're
not surprised at the fire. The red
hot editorials Mr.. Loomis had been
printing were hot enough TO melt the
presses, let alone setting the press
room on fire.

Mrs. Esther A. Merrill got in from
the river and made final proof on the
homestead entry made by her husband
before his death. She has been tied
up by the small pox quarantine at
Franklin. The quarantine line was
the state line, and she could not get
TO Franklin to take the cars, and
finally drove across the country, get
ting here Thursday nigh, and expect
Ing to return Saturday, but the snow
tied her up a few days. The smallpox
situation is not as bad at Franklin
as reported. 1t is a very mild form Of
the disease. similar to what was
known as the Cuban itch, after the
boys came home from Cuba, but
Health Onicer Burtch, Of Greenlee
county, considered 1t important to
stamp 1t out thoroughly, and so placed
a quarantine guard between the in
fected portion of the community and
franklin. There are many people In
New Mexico, above the infected place,
who trade at franklin or Duncan, but
no guard was placed there, and II they
did not happen to know the disease
was there might travel through the
Infected district before coming to the
guard. Mrs. Merrill made a com-
plant TO the Greenlee health %oficer,
and asked for protection, and a guard
"a placed at the state line, to pre-
vent all interstate commerce in the
disease germs. There has not been a
death In the community.

one could get a glimpse of where the
pretty hair had held sway.
Edna declared that her father had OBJ

He had often, she declared threatened
to cut on her hair II she did not give
