terry to-day, for the Manderfield memorial

Agreeably to the resolutions adopted by
the members Of the bar the five weeks

T. H. Paessler, late of Kansas and now
settler on the Ocate, says that 500
settlers from central Kansas will locate in
Mora and Colfax counties, along the Rio
Ocate, this spring. He thinks the immi-
grafton into New Mexico will be heavy
this year, but that localities where water
is not abundant need expect no new
settlers.
Waters are wasting in the Rio Santa
Fe. The city bitches should be opened
and kept running full while this surplus
water is running. In this way the ground
may be thoroughly soaked and much less
water will be needed when the farm sea-
son begins. This is suggestion for the
authorities. Better save the water in this
manner than allow it to go wholly to
waste.
A Denver man has located fire clay
bank just east of this city, and will soon

1t is said that 800 to 500 men will be at

The present occupants of the old gov
eminent palace, outside of the historic
al society's rooms and the post office,
are preparing to vacate their quarters az
soon as the interior department shall
turn it over to the use of the military au-
thorities. This is as it should be. The
building will be much more serviceable
to the town if used by the military than
by any other set of men, besides the
prospects OF having the structure over
hauled and remodeled by the military
arm of the government should be taken
into consideration.
