About the Capital.

Mr.. Benigno Romero is over from Las
Vegas to-day comforting with the COVER
nor in relation to the land necessary for
locating the territorial insane asylum.
Citizens of Las Vegas have purchased
five acres from Mr. Romero for this pur-
pose, and he is here to make the proper
transfer to the territory. The land is one
mile north of Las Vegas.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward f. Hobart came
ia from Las Vegas Saturday night and are
guests at the Palace. Mr. Hobart expects
to assume charge Of the surveyor generals
office in week or ten days. He has
taken the oath of office and forwarded his
bond to Washington. As soon as it is
approved he will take control Mrs.
Hobart is delighted with the prospect OF
taking up her residence in Santa Fe.
People come to Gov Prince With all
manner OF grievances. His daily mail
will ordinarily fill q bushel basket, and
not small proportion OF it is upon sub
jects with which the governor has, by
| right of his office nothing whatever to
do but nevertheless every inquiry Is
answered, every letter responded TO as
quickly as Sec. Harvey can get around to
it with his typewriter. No man can
visit the executive office daily without
being impressed with the fact that Gov,
Prince is tireless worker and 4 man OF
extraordinary energy.
Recent instructions from Washington
to the government timber agents in New
Mexico are to the effect that all saw mill
men, and others who use government
timber, must clean up the boughs and
branches of all felled timber, as most OF
the disastrous timber fires OF this season
are in a measure due to carelessness in
this matter.
a communication to the governor from
the town of Eddy, lower Pecos valley,
brings word that the people there have a
temperance racket on hand. The town
comrany's charter provides that no intox.
icating liquors shall be sold in the new
town. Adjoining the town site is a sec.
ton of school land. This has been squat
ted UPON by an enterprising individual
who has opened saloon there and is do
ing lively business. Naturally the town
company and great many local property
holders are indignant. They have com
planned to the general land Office at Wash.
ington about it, but the question has
come up as to who has authority to eject
the squatter from this school section.
The Las Crucans who are interested ir
the matter OF government aid for the agri
cultural station are not at all disturbed
over the failure of New Mexico to get tha
$4,000 appropriation this year. They
say that congress will this winter remedy
the matter. The Las Cruces News cor
reefs mistake made by the New MEXICAN
on this subject, as follows: First, Dir
Vasey did not come to the territory fol
the purpose of locating the governmental
station. He was looking for suitable
site for the governmental grass station
which is entirely separate from the reg
ular experimental station. Second, ou
people here have known all along tina
there is no appropriation yet made, fol
this year, for our experimental station
but they have received assurances tina
the appropriation will be made as soon Il!
possible after congress conyenes."
