Mr.. Dolan has finished the ex-
tensive repairs on his store and
dwelling, and has removed the dc.
lapidated structure from in front of
his place, and will fence and plant
the land in alfalfa.
Mr.. Ben. II. Ellis has recently
completed his new stable, has his
fence up and an acquia supplying
his grounds with water. lie will
set out flowers at once, a supply of
which he has received from East
ern florists.
Mr.. Isaac Ellis is also making
fence improvements; also Don Jose
Montana. The Valley will soon
be under fence, and then cattle can
be introduced in large numbers
without iniuringthe growing crops.
Judge Wilson is putting in 100
acres in corn.
Messers Thrill & Easton, bust
ness men from St. Joe, Mo-, paid
the Valley a visit this week, and
will probably invest in land. They
had a business interview with At
torney Besll, but we don't know
anything about it.
The Cattle Association met on
Monday, and transacted a large
amount of business. 1t is an or
%ganization Of active, energetic bus
mess men, who are determined to
develop the cattle interest and Sc
cure all valuable ranges from de-
probation by lawless characters.
The Probate Court was in SEES
sion this week, and Judge Terrell
dispatched considerable business.
The School Board held Its regu-
lar meeting, and cleared its docket
of pending business.
Our old friend, HI. Harrison,
filed a bill with the School Board
for house rent and fre-wood for the
school at Tables, but as Ki. did not
state any amount in his bill, or say
what WAS the price Of a room per
month, or what wood wac worth a
cord, the problem WAS referred to
Col. Cronin for solution, who pro-
poses to work it out by algebra,
with X representing the unknown
quantity, 4. c. the amount Of his
bill.
The Board of County Commits
sioners, with Judge Stone in the
chair, is holding a session.
Amos Eaker has sold a bunch of
cattle to Messers Meme Il Tillotson
at high figures. Verify, cattle IS
cattle, and will be more so in Lin
coin County, and the fellow as has
'em can afford to eat his three
meals a day, and let them carry out
the motto of old Maryland, sin
crease and multiply"
We have often heard the charge
made in the territories, that the
Governor paid so little attention to
the duties of his office, spending
most of his time in Eastern cities
advancing his private interests
New Mexico a say with honest
pride, that she is not encountered
with such an Executive tigure-head
Gov. Sheldon devotes as much
time, thought and labor TO the dis
charge of his duties as if he were
managing a large private interest /;
and this is the proper standard of
duty. The administration of a
public trust should be as obligatory
and more sacred than the care Of
our own affairs. New Mexico is to-
day reaping the solid advantage OF
such an Executive as We have
The determined campaign which
he has inaugurated and pushed
against the cattle thieves, rustlers,
and bunco lien has carried terror
to law breakers, and the universal
security, and protection to proper
ty and lite is being felt by our vari-
Gus industries, and a grateful peo-
pie take pride in giving honorable
mention IN iionnl A Shnldnn oitr
