Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1889-05-06

Taking one day with another through
out the year Santa Fe has such superb
weather that one or two disagreable days
ought not to count for muCh-but they do.
1t is a fact that one dlsagreabe day at
tracts more attention than whole month
of soft sunshine and balmy air. Perhaps
this is so because people who live in Santa
Fe have to experience 50 little bad
weather. Today, for instance, with its
gusts and its dust, provolies one almost to
profanity, and would be almost unbear-
able if it were not for the comforting re-
Election that but once or twice during the
year only does Santa Fe have these things
to contend with, while at almost every
other point in the west, less favored as re-
CARDS the mountain ranges, such days are
of weekly occurrence. Therefore, Santa
Feans should not complain OF the weather
clerk on day like this, especially since
the winds are warm and will help to
make good fruit crop by blowing the
weaker blossoms off the overburdened
trees, and also because such day is in
variably followed by Il drenching rain.
Let US be philosophical for once in our
lives.

full of new goods and the prices are equal
to the lowest. Call and see for yourself.

Immigration Matters.
Mr.. McDonaugh, immigration agent for
the settlement of lands along the lines OF
the Santa Fe, passed through Ration
yesterday. He had just returned from
Oklahoma, where he noticed four or five
agents of Messrs. Fredriksen & Co., the
great Chicago land agents, who were
working in the interest of the Maxwell
Grant company, and whose tents bore q
large sign: Headquarters Of Maxwell
Land Grant" Mr.. McDonaugh is q good
worker and has made arrangements to
run an excursion in here next week, as
the initiatory work of introducing colonies
to the rich mountain lands of the Maxwell
company. This excursion will bring a
lot of people from the Shenandoah valley,
Va.-Raton Range.
OF the Oklahoma overflow the Denver
Republican says:
A sufficient number of them may go
into the Panhandle of Texas and in New
Mexico to keep the wave rolling on to-
ward the southwest. Iithis should prove
true the Oklahoma boom would be bless
ing. 1t would then be found to have been
the means of bringing people to the west
who otherwise might not have come.
1t was strictly southwestern move
ment. The natural line for its continu-
ance would carry it into the northwestern
part of Texas and into the southwestern
part of New Mexico. The immigrants who
failed to find homes in Oklahoma have
but to move on in order to find what they
are looking for either in Texas or in New
Mexico.
Of course Denver, Pueblo and Trinidad
would rather see these emigrants come to
Colorado than 90 to either Texas or New
Mexico. But to certain extent both
northwestern Texas and the whole of New
Mexico are tributary to the three Colorado
cities named. Certainly it would be well
for them if New Mexico and Texas were
crowded with prosperous population.
