The 'trip from Santa Fe to this city was made over the In dian creek trail and Scenic Highway. The boys have already covered over 1,200 .miles on horseback, making the trip alone, except for . the forty-mile trip across the mountains from Santa e. When they again reach their home at Guthrie, they will hate cov ered over 2,500 ihiles oa horseback, a remarkable feat for two boys, the oldest nine years and the youngest five. Few are the men who would at tempt such a trip. -..t ' TORRENTIAL RAINS IN SOUTHWESTERN STATES Kansas City, SepL 8.

Cooki was that It would bring an end to these hazar dous expeditions, is already shatter ed. ' ' Following closely upon the report of Cook's success, comes word fromj Commander IL E. Peary, that he, too, has discovered tho pole. Already the press dispatches give enough "parti culars to warrant the conclusion that a bitter controversy is to be the re sult between the two Arctic explor ers over the question as to who dis covered the pole first If this Is to be the result, then we shall have a good deal of reason to regret the feat and not, a great deal -to rejoice over It. The recent heavy rains in Las Ve gas have, demonstrated the crying need of proper drainage for this city, which can only be supplied by an ade quate sewage system. If there was some outlet for the surplus waters then there would be no flooding of cellars and washing out of the streets, now the natural result of each down pour. o , A remarkable illustration of Juve nile pluck Is given by the Abernathy boys, who arrived in Las Vegas last night, accompanied by their father, John R.

HUNT ON OWN PREMISES Santa Fe, N. M., Sept. 8. Attorney General Frank W. Clancy today hand ed down an opinion that a man who hunts on his own premises must have a license as provided by the territorial fish and game Jaws. This opinion set tles a much mooted question. Marriage licenses have been issued at the county clerk's office here to the following named: Antonio San doval and Elolsa Baca, the latter but fifteen years of age, both of Gonzales; Adelaldo Barros and Juvencia Garcia, of Chaperito; Deslderlo Montoya and Antonia Armijo, of East Las Vegas; Charles Lake and Emma Sharkley, of Granby, Colo. , W.

This is what Nansen, the Arctic ex plorer, said about the use of alcohol: "My experience leads me to take, a decided stand against the use of stim ulants and narcotics of all kinds.
