The Colorado state fair takes place al
Pueblo October to 9; the Rio Grande
Jockey clubs meeting takes place at Del
Norte on the 8th, 9th and 10th proxmos.
The Pueblo Racing associations meeting
occurs October IA to IS. The Conejos
county fair comes off at AlamOsa, from
the 18th to the 18th inclusive.
These dates are here specified because,
for another year, arrangements ought to
be perfected whereby New Mexico can
cooperate with these several associations.
Del Norte, Alamesa, Santa Fe and Albu-
querque, at least can get together and
have general understanding with view
to helping one another. In this particu.
lar the Rio Grande valley ought to stand
shoulder to shoulder. An organization

An Attraction for Tourists.

A delightful drive which all excursion
lists who stay several days in Santa Fe
ought to take, is that up the canon OF the
Tesuque. The best way to the canon is
the road that goes to the Bishops ranch
and from there crosses the hill to the
principal, or north branch OF the Tesuque.
This road and that up the canon need
some repairs, but only such as could be
made by two days work of two industrious
and intelligent laborers. The corduroy
bridges need overhauling. Most of their
timbers are sound, but few are gone,
and a few others are broken or weak.
One OF the upper bridges is impossible,
but this is within about mile OF tine end
of the road.
Without doubt good country road,
not at all difficult of ascent, can be made,
at trivial cost, to the top of the Lake
mountain. Santa Fe ought to make it.

This is Chap. 10f Of the Laws of 1889,
and is most extraordinary statute. In its
first section it makes broad distinction be-
tween those who cultivate land by means of
water pumped from wells, or without irriga-
tion and those who irrigate from acequias.
The former are compelled to fence while the
latter are not 1t would be difficult to i'm
agine why this distinction is made. If
there were to be privilege given to either
class, one would say that the enterprising
man who dug his well and erected his wind.
mill, or he who for lack Of irrigated land
was forced to expend his labor on soil
only watered by precarious rain, should
have the advantage; but for some reason a
penalty was attached to these classes of
farmers Half of California is watered by
wind-mills, and we are depending on that
system for much of the extension of our
agriculture in the future. The successful
cultivation Of certain crops on temporal "
has been hailed with delight as increasing
greatly our possible area of arabic land.
Why then should those thus cultivating be
compelled to fence, while their more favored
neighbors supplied by acequias are left free?
1t is evident that no good reason can exist.
This law has already done great harm. A
colony Of industrious migrants who had
