Tin: Chikftain now enters upon its third jcar under the present management. Two years ago it was promised that improve ment would he made in the pa per as fast as financial conditions would warrant. That promise has been kept and is still binding. Kcaders may expect still further improvements in Tiu:Ciin:i tain. The superiority of Socorro's winter climate has never been more strikingly illustrated than during the present winter. While the people of the northern and the eastern and even the southern states have been experiencing unusually intense cold, the lowest temperature recorded by the government observer in this city has been 17 degrees above zero. For example, New Year's day in Socorro was bright and warm, so warm that an overcoat was superfluous. No wonder that New Mcxico'sclimatc is becoming famed for its health giving properties. Watch SI.

More than a third of the railroad extension for the present year has taken place in Missouri and the South west. Arizona is credited with eighty-live miles of new railroad, which is more than was construc ted in all New England, and more also than was built in New York or California. Globe-Democrat. (ninth of the Southwest. Thhovuhoitt November and December the ratio or gain in the bank clearances of St. Louis has been much larger than that of any other large city. It would be a mistake to suppose that this expansion is mainly due to World's Fair inlluences. That factor will count hereafter, but is, as yet, a slight clement in the case. The great and steady enlargement of the trade of St. Louis allects all its interests and comes from all surrounding territory. But more especially is the rapid rise of the Southwest to be taken into consideration. The statistics of the year show that this section of the country continues to lead all others in relative development. By the national census of 19u() Oklahoma held the lead in proportionate increase of popula tion during the previous decade, the gain execceding 500 per cent. Indian Territory in the ttame time more than doubled its population. Texas grew almost as rapidly as Illinois, passing the 3,0(10,000 mark, and taking sixth place in the list of states. Arizona also more than doubled its population. Missouri held its place as the fifth state, adding nearly half a million inhabitants during the ten years. The increase of Illinois was over W0, 000, of Iowa over 30O.00O, of Arkansas nearly 200, 000, of Kentucky nearly 300,000, and these states, adjacent to Missouri, arc moving onward at a steady pace. The figures of new railroad construction for the year 1W1 are fresh testimony to the phenomenal growth of the Southwest. Oklahoma again leads the states and territories, except Texas, with 427 miles of new railway. Texas built no less than 5H3 miles. New Mexico is third, with 275 miles. Georgia is fourth with 2IMI miles, and Missouri fifth with 1K9 miles. Indiana is sixth, 174 miles, and then again the South west comes in with Indian Terri tory, 157 miles, and Arkansas, 155 miles. The aggregate of new railroad constructed during Connecting The Orean. The new Hay-Pauncefote treaty removes the diplomatic obstacles which hindered the construction of a canal across the continent, in Central America. The report of the canal commis sion presents the judgment of experts that the Nicaraguan route is the best. The attitude of Congress promises prompt action. So the connecting of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which has been a dream of adventurous spirits for centuries, approaches realization. The e n t c r p r i se , when begun, will have behind it the resources of a great nation; and the canal, when completed, will be the property of the United States, operated and controlled and its neutrality guaranteed by the United States alone. That one nation should spend two hundred million dollars, and probably more, in building a great public work in the territory of another nation is unprecedented. It is justified by the factthat the new waterway will bring the commerce of the Pacific coast ten thousand miles nearer the ports of the eastern coast. At present the distance by water from San Francisco to Cadiz is less than the distance to New York. The cutting of the canal will end this anomaly, and in proportion to the length of the waterway will save to commerce a greater distance than any other canal that has been or could be built. The canal will promote general peace and international commerce. It will be open to the ships of all rations on equal terms, and will lighten the cost and lessen the time of transportation for all. The day which witnesses the turning of the first spadeful of earth on the canal and the day on which the first vessel passes through it will be historic days for the United States and for the whole world. Youth's Companion. James McNeil Whistler was recently dining with a friend in London. Suddenly, when all had dined and were back in the drawing-room, Whistler said that he had almost forgotten it, but he absolutely must write a letter and get it off by the night's post. He was told that in a room at the head of the first flight of stairs he would find the lights burning and pens, paper and ink at his disposal, lie went up and pres ently there was heard a series of bumps, ending in a heavy thud at the foot of the stairs. The master had tripped, lost his balance, and came near having a bad fall. The host ran to him and asked if he was hurt. "I am not killed, if that's what you mean!" Whistler replied, "but, tell me; who built those stairs?" The host mentioned the name of a builder unknown cither to Whistler or to fame. "Humph, he did, eh? Thed d teetotaler," said Whistler The Argonaut. A PENITENTIARY TRAKSFORMATIOH Hud Way To l ite Long, The startling announcement of a Discovery that will surely lengthen life is made by editor O. II.

On Christinas day in accord with long established custom, Acting Governor J. W. Kaynolds commuted the sentence of a prisoner in the territorial peniten tiary. The lucky man was Ernest Hart, sentenced eight years since from Bernalillo coun ty to serve ninety years for murder. According to the law Hart has therefore only eight years more to serve, since in commuting the sentence it is reduced to half. The choice of the acting governor recalls the sensational trial of Mitchell, Childers and Hart before Judge Lee eight years since for the murder of Nicolas J. Sanchez, a young grocer and saloon man in South Albuquer que. The three men were camped on the outskirts of the city with a bunch of Colorado ponies. Sells Brothers circus was in the town, over where the brewery now stands. They decided to hold up the ticket wagon, mounted and rode to the show grounds only to find the wagon guarded by eight men armed with shot guns. On the way back to camp they passed the store of Sanchez, who was alone in the bar, which was attached to the establishment. They decided to hold up the place. Hart was left to hold the horses. Mitchell and Childers went in and ordered Sanchez to cough up. The young man rashly picked up an old and utterly useless revolver. He was caught by the cross fire of the robbers and instantly killed. Childers escaped, but was afterward brought back to testify. The trial was sensational. The jury was knocking at the door with a verdict of guilty for murder in the first degree against Mitchell and Hart, when the defendants' attorneys entered a plea of guilty to murder in the second degree. Judge Lee sentenced them to 90 years in the penitentiary. , During his eight years' service Hart has become one of the ablest men in the penal institution. He is the electrician, has done designing and draughting, has laid side walks and built walls and is an all-around useful man, having become a lit member of society. It is stated that he is the author of a paper on Christian Endeavor work read before the convention here on Sunday. Within eight years more he will be free. Eight years since he was within twenty minutes of being sentenced to death by a New Mexico judge. Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. Lifted I'p Forever. Mazztni, whose name is associa ted with the liberation of Italy, was once asked what he would have taught in school. "One thing at any rate in all," replied Mazzini, "and that is some knowledge of astronomy. A man learns nothing if he has not learned to wonder, and astronomy, better than any science, teaches him something of the mystery and grandeur of the universe. "Now, a man who feels this will soon feel something of his own greatness and mystery, and then for the first time he is a man." A fine grand square piano can be bought cheap. Apply to T. J. Leeson. Not So Very Hard. Jack's father is a member of a society for "psychical research," and Jack has heard and overheard a good deal about mindrcading and thought transference. His mother has had periods of alarm lest her son's mental development should outrun his physical health. Recently, however, the boy organized a "mind class" of his own, the members consisting of a number of playmates whom he had induced to join cither by moral suasion or by bribes; and his mother, after overhearing the problem which closed the session, concluded that . the strain on Jack's mind was not so severe as she had supposed. Jack had left the reluctant class in the hall while he repaired to the pantry. In a few minutes his mother heard his address to his pupils. "Now you've all got to think hard and quick," he said, briskly. "How many doughnuts have I got in may two biggest pockets? The boy or girl that guesses right will get the two doughnuts that arc extras, for a prize; the rest of you can only have one apiece." A W0KTIIV Sl'ULSSOIt.

What HeCuuie For. A learned judge who was one of the guests at a dinner was unexpectedly called upon to reply to a toast. Recovering somewhat from his surprise, he said that his situation reminded him of the story of a man who fell into the water while he was fishing. With no little difficulty he was rescued, and after he had regained his breath and was in fairly comfortable condition, his -escuer asked him how he came to fall into the water. "I did not come to fall into the water," replied the unfortunate fisherman. "I came to fish." STATIONS 10:00 p m Chicago 10:55 a m ...
