Cites Opinion on Subject.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of Germaine vs..
United States t99 L. s., 500 makes
clear that all offices created by Con
gress are Federal offices, and all Off
2ers appointed by the President by and
with the advice and consent OF the
Senate are Federal officers. '.
"a Commissioner of the District Of
Columbia takes the oath prescribed by
Congress for an officer OF the United
States and gives bond to the United
States in the sum OF $4,000, and all
)f the commissioners are just as much
Federal officers as II Congress had
designated one Commissioner only to
he appointed. by and with the consent
OF the Senate, and provided that he
was TO be an officer of the municipal
corporation known as the District OF
Columbia. Congress might have
called in governor and made him an
officer of the municipality. The Gov.
ernOr of Alaska and the Governor of
Porto Rico are no more or less than
a Federal officer, just like the Com
missioner of the District Of Columbia,
and is appointed in the same way.

heavy snowfall in the Huachucas.

any consequence here occurred five
years ago and accompanied a severe
blizzard others recall heavier snow
fall and cold snap that occurred here
in 1916, at which time the snow lay
on the ground for several days.
