secured through the efforts of Supt.
Shelton, of the Shiprock Indian
agency, San Juan county is setting a
pace for some other counties Of the

Certainly nothing could be more
praiseworthy than the spirit which
the San Juan people have shown in
making the most of their opportuni-

long been working to become more
integral part of New Mexico, and
