NO SNOWSTORMS IN NEW MEXICO
R. M. Hardinge, of the New Mexico
.weatihor bureau at Santa Fe, has sup
plied all newspaper offices today with
copies of 'his printed snowfall bulletin.
The data received at meteorological
headquarters In Santa Fe substantiates
the claim that the total snowfall this
.winter 'has been much less than the
average amount. There has practi
cally been no snow below altitudes of
8,000 feet, and on southern slopes
but little below 10,000 feet. There
has been comparatively little wind,
and as the snow lie3 evenly on the
summits, there Is an absence of the
large drifts from which tome the
greater part of the spring flow.
The bulletin concludes as follows:
"Of the etreams whose -watersheds
'lie wholly within. New Mexico, It is
'safe to eav that the present snow sup
tlv Is not sufficient to keep up the
current flow, ami unless there Is heavy
enow soon, or good early rains, the
sections depending on these are
ihreatened with a serious water fam
ine in the early spring."
AFTER THE COAL OIL JOHNNIES.
The republican machine needs some
thing- else besides coal oil for smooth
running in the approaching campaign.
Coal oil isn't a good lubricator, any
how, particularly the quality of the
article being palmed off on the people
of New Mexico at the present time.
Capt. Henry Sturges and Henry B.
Steward seem to have had the Spring
er republican primary pretty well in
hand. Those two .republican wheel
horses would make good adjusters of
looses for fire companies for the rea
Eon they can scent coal oil from afar
off.
. Frank J. Medina, state oil inspector
for Colorado, mentions two instances
In his required report to the governor
where merchants were handling an in
ferior quality of coal oil. They were
ordered to sell no more of the vile
Etuff and by obeying the order, they
avoided prosecution.
Congressman Bailey, of Toxns, !n
his speech In opposition to the Puerto
Rican tariff bill, declared that there
was Involved in this1 b: if a question
of law and a question of morals. He
made an exhaustive argument against
the constitutionality of the bill, arous
ing the lawyers on the oilier side so
that for a time he was aUr.QJt contin
uously engaged in crossing sworCs
with one or the other of his adver
saries. Mr.Bailey borrowed .the words
of Lincoln: "This republic cr.nnot
endure one-half free and onehalf
elavery. We must be all citizens, or
in time we will be all subjects."
The Puerto Rican tariff queslion
has presented a hard case of straddle
The president and Secretary Root
have all along been reiterating the
beneficlent terms of the annual nics
sage free trade for Puerto Rico but
the ways and means committeo hnd
been In constant consultation with
thera on the 25 per cent bill, flaally
reduced and passed at 15 per cent.
The position of the president has
been: "Do anything, but don't put
me in a position to be held responsl
ble for It."
, F. H. Pierce, of this city, has gone
over to Santa Fe in his Capacity as
president of the board of penitentiary
commissioners to attend a meeting
of the same, also Juan Navarro, of
Mora county, a member. The other
members of the board are J. T. Mc
laughlin, of Santa Fe; Col. J. Franc.
Chavez, of Valencia county and Louis
Baer, of Bernalillo county.

Those Proceedings.
The law requires that the proceed
lags of the county commissioners'
court shall be published, not later
than fifteen days after the meeting of
the board. There have been no pro
ceedings published by either of the
official papers, of which The Optic
Is one, since last September and it is
not the fault of the Hon. Board of
county commissioners, either. This
paper Is informed that both politics
and railroad business are partly to
bjame for the dilatory conduct.
An official of the county was asked
by one of the chief push recently why
he did not withdraw certain patron
age from a newspaper published in
this city? However, he (the official)
received his orders, just the same.
Our David Thomas Home.
From the Emporia,Kau.,"Republican."
In this, issue of the "Republican"
will be found an excellent article en-
titled "England and the Welshman,"
written by our esteemed fellow clt!
een, David Thomas. He Is himself a
Welshman, and, in a strong, graceful,
easy and digndfled manner, tella why
he is, also, an Englishman. When we
remember the historic fact that the
Welsh people were the original Brit
ons and that Great Briton means great
Welshmen, It la not difficult to see
why there should be a strong recipro
cal feeling between the Welshman
and the Englishman. The Prince of
Wales, the first heir to the throne of
England, is a basic recognition of the
old Briton or Welshman, whose valor
was measured with that of many In
vading foes and saved the parent
Etock as still the most Interesting
feature of the greatest empire on
earth.

SAME OLD STORY.
Republican Time Pieces Out of Order
In Bernalillo County, Too.
From the "Industrial Advertiser." I
The "Advertiser" has elated that
republicans were having trouble with- j
in the party, and he facta beir out j
the statements made, regardless of
She daily denials published by the re-
pubHean organs of the Territory.
The Bernalillo county republicans
opposed to Jhe methods of the admin
istration have less to complain of than
their fellows in Fan Miguel county,
and yet here we find a widespread dis-;
satisfaction. What must be the feci-1
ing in Santa Fe county? Here it was
generally unnecessary for the Otero
Hea to make any particular display
of force, and the "precinct chairman"
did the business. In Santa Fe they
Uf td the deputy sheriffs and the peni
tentiary guards. The dissatisfied re
publicans in this county, or a few hun
dred of them, expressed them-selvea
in the following language at an in
dignation meeting in old town:
Resolved, That the republicans of
several precincts of Bernalillo county
have been outraged by not being per
mitted to express their wishes at the
laet primaries cf said county.
Resolved, That we the majority of
Bernalillo county republicans protest
emphatically against such proceedings
and hereby demand from the central
committee of eaid county our rights
as citizens and legal voters In all polit
ical and party organizations.
Resolved, That we do not approve
cf the new method of calling the pri
maries, by precinct chairmefn
and In many Instances have
placed notices at 2 o'clock p. tn. and
have called the meeting at 8:30 p. m.,
and otherwise it has been impossible
to know the hour at which the meet
ing would be called to order, and there
by concealing tlie hour. The legal
voters are the only ones that have
the privilege to elect their lespective
delegates. If the same metho.in are
to follow In the. future, It it! Impossible
for our party to have good 8.ilC9S.
The people tn general disapprove of
aid proceedings pnd most empliati
cally protest against them.
ONLY ONE POSTOFFICE.
The Little Governor's Organ at Santa
Fe Speaks Out.
From the "New Mexican."
The Las Vegas daily paper rai.se,
a tempest in a teapot bocai.so it, ir
proposed to make a change in post
office matters in the town of Las
Vegas, and to have but one o3ice lo
cated conveniently for the ea3t side
and west side of the town. Several
correspondents Inform the "New Mexi
can" that tho sentiment of the business
community favors this plan. Sonio
politicians, and, of course, the post
master, who would be replaced, do not
favor it. This is but natural, and was
to be expected. However, the logic
of the situation to outsiders, In order
that there may be closer business and
municipal relations between the two
sides, points to one office.
In this connection, the Las Vegas
paper assails Governor Otero. It
charges that he is interfering, and
that he favors one office for the two
sides. Fair-minded citizens concede
that the governor has a perfect right
to 'have an opinion Inthe matter and
to work to carry out what he con
siders best for the community; he is
a property owner and a citizen of San
Miguel county, and has his legal resi
dence to Las Vegas. The "New Mexi
can" does not know what side he takes
in the controversy, and it cares .not a
continental red cent. But he is cer
tainly entitled to act as he deem3
best, both as a private citizen and as
an official, in this matter, without be
ing objected to newspaper abuse and
vilification. And the chance.3 are that
he will eo act regardless of unjust
criticism and untrue assertions.
A Plea for a Reading Room.
To the Editors of The Optic.
East Las Vegas, March 5th, 1900.
I understand there is a Territorial
law under which citiles are permitted
to levy a tax for the support of public
reading rooms. Albuquerque has
such a place which Is In part support
ed by a city tax. With many others. I
would like to ee a reading room open
ed here for the benefit of strangers
and the many single men in town who
need a place in which to read, write or
otherwise pass the time. Without
this privilege they are often compelled
to choose between the allurements of
the saloons and the discomforts of the
sidewalks. I believe the reputation
of the city is Involved In this matter.
It should show by the establishment of
a resort of this kind, that It takes an
Interest in the oomfort and welfare of
people who stop here and of the many
laboring men who have no comfortable
homes in which to rest and enjoy
themselves. I suppose a petition signed
by the. required number of taxpaying
voters .would Insure a vote upon the
question at the coming election. Will
some one explain through The Op
tit the course necessary to got it act
ed upon? I think there are many
people hero who would help in any
way possible to get a public reading
room opened. - INQUIRER.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
C. M. Baker, the railroad Insurance
traveler, came down from Denver, yes

system named after his father, went
east yesterday morning.
Mrs. Carpenter, wife of an employe
at the Las Vegas round house, has
gone to California for her health.
Phil Callahan, who has been in
charge of a Lantry outfit is at home
here from Thatcher, Colo., till further
orders.
J. S. O'Connell and J. R. Maliby
of the Lantry firm of railroad contract
ors, have been down this way again
from northern points.
President E. P. Ripley, cf the San
ta Fe system, left Chicago on private
car No. 219 yesterday, and will pnes
through Las Vega3 tomorrow after
noon, bound for California.
p. T. Mathews, general agent for
the Continental fruit express company,
with headquarters in Las Vegas, has
complete charge of the movement of
ell perishable freighf'over the Santa
Fe lines.
T. E. Fisher, general, passenger
agent of the Colorado Southern, went
east In a private car, yesterday after
noon, accompanied by Wm. B. McDon
ald, traveling manager of tho Kansas
City refining and smelting company.
Supt. J. E. Hurley came up from
El Paso. In his special oar, yesterday
afternoon, in company with C. W.
Kouns, superintendent of the Santa
Fe's car service, and Geo. E. Ayer, as
sistant superintendent at San Mar
clal. Three coal cars of Conductor Webb's
train went into the ditch near Ala
meda Saturday night, as the result
of a broken axle. The, track was
blocked for several hours and passen
ger train No. 2 from the west did not
arrive in Las Vegas till 8 o'clock yes
terday morning.
One of the most important steps in
the history of the Wo Grande railroad
will be taken by that road next Sun
day. That day will see the abolish
ment of the narrow gauge passenger
trains on the scenic route through
Pueblo to be supplanted by those of
broadguage pattern. This step means
that the Rio Grande is out of the line
of "baby railroads" and Is on the same
footing as the other big systems.
Superintendent Dolan of the middle
division of the Santa Fe, who suc
ceeded Superintendent Parker now of
Pueblo, is laying off men by the dozen
on his division. He is simply fol
lowing out the orders of his superiors,
however, and cannot be blamed per
sonally. The retrenchment idea of
the Santa Fe is falling hard upon the
men at Emporia, Newton and other
places along the middle division.
Ortnan & Creek, railroad contract
ors, held the contract for grading
twenty-three miles of the road bed
for the proposed new Colorado Springs
and Cripple Creek short line. In tho
course of this distance they have to
drive nine tunnels. The firm alma to
complete its work by September 15th.

ing employed, also to procure sup
plies. SOME PASSENGER AGENTS.'

ern railway, headquarters' in Chicago,
was a passenger for El Paso, Texas,
and perhaps Mexico points, yester
day, accompanied by B. P. Humphrey,
traveling passenger agent cf the same
line, office in Kansas City. The gen- j
uemen nan ueen nere before ana laid
over a train to renew acquaintance
with some old-time Las Vegans. .
A. H. Moffet has been general south
western passenger agent for the Rock
Island at Kansas City for years and
years; and now T h e O p 1 1 c is pleas

Words of Praise.
From the Hastings, Neb., "Tribune."
G. C. Ragan, photographer. It is
safe to affirm, among the many pho
tographers In the city, no one has been
more successful than Mr. G. C. Ragan.
His parlors and studio are convenient
ly arranged and contain a splendid
array of specimens of his work and
skill. As an artist he excels, and
his fidelity to detail, brilliancy of
touch and ability to preserve every
feature proves that he is an artist of
true genius and animated with but
one aim to excel in his chosen pro
fession. No branch of business has
been more rapidly and scientifically
developed than that of photography,
and Mr. Ragan has kept pace with all
the improvements made, introducing
the new and beautiful effects.
