Under the new law passed by the New Mexico legislature the term of office of county commis sioners was changed, making the selection of competent men doub ly important. The manner of election, and the length of time, is set forth in the acts of the last legislature as follows: "That at the general election of 19Q0 there shall be elected three county commissioners in each county of the Territory of New Mexico. The commission er from the first district shall be elected for a term of four years from the first day of January after the election. The commis sioners from the second and third districts shall be elected for a term of two years from the first day of January after their elec tion; and that at the general elec tion of 1902, there shall be elected two county commissioners, one from the second district for a term of four years and one from the third district for a term of two years, and that at the gen eral election of 1904, there shall be two commissioners elected, one from the third district for a term of four years and one from the first district for a term of two years, and thereafter, at each general election, one of the coun ty commissioners successively, beginning with the county com missioner of the first commission ers' district, shall be elected for a period of four years." THE GAME LAWS-- WHEN TO HINT. Hunters should comply with the following legal regulations enacted by the , 33rd territorial legislature: Section 1. That after the pas sage of this act it shall be un- lawtul to kill, wound, snare or trap any quail, grouse, prairie chicken, pheasent, partridge or wild turkey or kill, wound or in any way destroy any antelope, deer, elk or mountain sheep, ex cept that said birds or animals, the animals being with horns, may be killed with a gun during 1 the months of September. October and November of each year in j the counties of Rio Arriba, San Juan, Taos, Colfax, Union, San Miguel, Gaudalupe and Santa j an-l during the months ol 1 October, November and Decern i ber in all other counties of the territorv, and, Provided, that no person shall : . . . . 1 ki or have in possession more than one antelope, elk, mountain sheep or deer at any one time. Section 6. Upon petition of 25 voters, county commissioners may suspend the restriction as to killing quail. The Dona Ana delegation to the republican territorial conven tion were instructed to cast their ballots for Pat F. (iarrett for nominee for delegate to congress Garrett made Lincoln an excel lent sheriff some years ago, and ! was elected by the democratic ! party. As a candidate for dele' 1 ,,, to ,.on.rress. as the rermbli ,o o ' - I can nominee, he would neither get the support of the republicans nor the democrats of this county. Both sides would doubt the sincerity of his new departure. District Attorney Chas. A Spiess, of Las Vegas, would like the republican nomination for delegate to congress. Mr. Spiess will probably receive considerable encouragement until nominations are to be made, when his appli cation will be passed up for keeps, OLD TIMERS OE Willi f OAKS. Through kindness of John Y. Hewitt the Eagle has obtained the following names of pioneers of White Oaks, who settled here in 1880, and who are yet in Lin coln county: J B Collier, E T Collier, M G Paden, A Ridgeway, J R Brent, Win Waston, W C McDonald, Jas Woodland, Wm F Blanchard, D J M A Jewett, Jerry Hockradle, Geo E Sligh, Ed B Homan, Jones Taliaferro, B F Gumm, Chas Bull, E W Parker, M H Bellomy, John Y Hewitt, L II Rudiselle, U Ozanne, A G Lane, Wm Lane, Samuel Wells, J P C Langston, Ed S Comery, Jake Miller, Mrs Brothers, Mrs Kestler, J C Klep- mger, vv t rcoss, r &pucKe, u W Prichard, Fred Mayer, P Donovan, John Walters, J O Nabours, Mrs Allen, Jay Al len, Harry Allen, Newt Allen, Wm Henley, Thos W Henley, Jos Stut, Samuel Beard, Gus Collier, T Lalone, Mrs Barber, J H Leighnor, A M Richardson, Mrs Hudgins, Richard Cava naugh. Would it not be well to bring all these old timers together here and have a genuine old timers' reunion? Why not those of the list who reside here organize an old timers society and get up some kind of a program that would interest the veteran set tlers who cast their fortunes here twenty ycars'ago, and invite all re- siilnir elsewhere in the county to come and spend a day or so in White Oaks, during which time they could renew acquaintances and review the history of the country from 1880 up to the pres ent. The yarns they could spend about pioneer days of Lincoln count)- would make a book of historic humor. The Eagi.r would like to see these old timers assemble at White Oaks, and is certain that the town would leave nothing undone to enter tain them. Many of the fore going list are well advanced in years, and as time goes by, must necessarily answer the last sum mons. Among them are Lincoln county's best citizens and great est benefactors and their names will go down in JNew Mexico s history as such. The Eaoi.k would be pleased to hear from some or any number 01 those whose names appear in this col umn, concerning the question of a reunion. Rio Arriba county republicans have declared for Prince for dele gate, with their candidate him self one of the ('elegates to the Santa Fe convention. Let's see! Prince's orchard, his newspaper and somebody else are located within the voting precincts of that county and there is where somebody had a hand in certain mine-salting some years ago! Optic. The Las Vegas Optic thinks lion. H. B. Fergusson is a can didate for the democratic nomi nation for delegate to congress, notwithstanding the fact he has announced that he had no such intentions. Now, more than two years after the war with Spain is ended, the people of this gov ernment are paying $100,000,000 annually in unabated war taxes. Mr. McKinley' prosperity.

There was no politics in the manner of re ception tendered to Mr. Roose velt, and political capital for the abuse of Colorado democrats can not be deducted from it. There was no violence attempted, the extent of the affair being a de nial in emphatic words that Mr. Roosevelt and his party are friends to the laboring classes. Mr. Roosevelt's sincerity as an apostle of the oppressed wage earners is by them considered a fake and they rideculc his efforts to betray their confidence for the purpose of securing their votes. A lie name cummin wnu nuni about the people's condemnation of trusts and the iniquitous reign of republican plutocracy, in case McKinley and Roosevelt are elec ted, will next demand the sup pression of public opinion, and will be in favor of denying or abridging the freedom of speech, the public press, and even of re ligious freedom. Mr. Roosevelt can publicly boast of shooting an enemy at war in the back, but when his criminal intrigues dis guised like the benevolent wolf, are introduced to the wage earner for the purpose of pulling the wool over his eyes until after the November election, are stamp ed as villianous, he howls slan der, and wishes to make capital out of it for the purpose of abasing the democratic party of Colorado, which had as little to do with the row at Victor as President McKinley.

It requires ten per cent more corn or wheat to buy a copper kettle than it did in 1896. It requires twice as much corn to buy a coil of rope as it did in 1896." It requires 40 per cent more grain to buy a plow than it did in 1896. It requires 70 per cent more grain to buy a hoe, rake or shov el than it did in 1896.

It require 40 per cent more corn or cotton to buy a jKund of sugar than it did in 186. You have to pay 50 per cent more for glass than in 18'6. Freght rate have climbed back to the exhorbitant prices which caused a popularrevolt in legisla tive halls a few years ago. The prices of oil, coal, lumber, tools and hardware have gone up from 40 to 100 per cent. And all these things have been done by the trusts! A trust robs you waking and sleeping, eating or drinking, working or playing, living or dy ing, and the coflln trust gets you in the end.- Deinming II. Hon. Sol Luna persistently de clines to become the nominee of the republican party for delegate to congress. Wait until the re publican territorial convention meets, and see what Mr. Luna says
