1t is within the power OF the business
men of Santa he to make it manufac-
turing center. The most important step
in this direction would be incorporation.
With efficient school directors and an
efficient school superintendent the
schools Of this county would amount to
something. 1t is hard to tell what they
amount TO now.
Incorporation is what Santa Fe needs.
Clean, well lighted streets, good side
walks, city ordinances that will protect
the rights of the general public. and some
system and order are wanted.
The celebration of the list anniversary

house at Fort Marcy will he opened at the
office of Major Summerhayes, the depot
quartermaster. at ii O'Clock tomorrow.
Santa Fe builders and merchants should
be on hand.
Clean sidewalks and clean streets are
very necessary in this town. Some prop
erty owners care very little for the gen
eral cleanliness of the public streets. This
ought not to be, and with an incorporated
city here could and would be stopped.
Judicious action and advertising will
show to the country and to invalids and
sick people the fact that Santa Fe is the
heathest spot on the continent. Let the
citizens OF Santa Fe do their duty in that
line, and they will reap a rich reward.

Mr.. M'iIy wired Supt johnson, Of the,
Santa Fe Southern, this morning request
ing that his mail be held after April 90
and all that had been received prior to
that time to be forwarded to Larry. From

when the work on the San Pedro extern.
sion will be looked after.
Mr.. F. L. Koontz, of Chicago, WAS
pleasant caller at the New MEXICAN office

BY united effort on tho part of the
business men and property owners OF
Santa Fe, transformation scene would
easily be effected that Is even nov

walks in front Of their residences,
grade the cutters, see that they are kept
clean, erect neat fences around their
premises, Santa Fe would soon be known
as u place of beauty rs it is now known
as sanitafium. The cost of making
few improvements would not be great,
and the valuation Of property would be
enhanced far more than the paltry sum
laid out ior such purpose.

bal has improvements to the value Of sew
sral thousand dollars thereon.
