ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

Incorporate this town and have some
modern notions of progress about you
business men and citizens of Santa Fe, /
you would prosper.
The recent rains have put the fedora
park track i'll very good condition, ano
there can be made one Of the best o
drives if horsemen will make it point tC
drive over it.
After San Francisco street receives
much needed attention, Palace avenue
ought to be graded and improved This
is respectfully referred to the penitentiary
commissioners.
Complaints of the work of the SAINTS
Fe census enumerators continue to come
in. Those who have not been enumerat
ed should not fail to send their names tc
Supervisor Sanchez.
George Cam, the pioneer gardener and
fruit grower, is lying quite sick at his home
on central Manhattan street. The old
gentleman friends sincerely hope for his
early recovery.
The recent generous rains have I'M
mensely improved the corn and other
crops around Santa Fe, aud the farmers
faces begin to wear a pleasant smile in
consequence.
Again the attention OF the county COM
missioners is called to the dangerous con-
dition of the road bed OF Don Gaspar
avenue leading to the Ramona Indian
school. The road needs repairing great
ly.
At the Saturday night meeting of the
Santa Fe Democratic club, held at the
court house, speeches were made by Capt.
Mckinney, OF Pueblo, Colo. Hon. W. B.
Childers and Hon. A. l.. Branch, OF
Mora county.
Chas. S. Desky, the Salt Lake City real
estate Spectator who has been at the Pal
ace for several days, made August Kirch-
ner an offer OF $4,000 for his San Fran
cisco street property. Mr.. Kirchner re-
fused the offer.
Prof. Chase will treat the children OF
the Sunday school on Wednesday even
ing, at 7 80 o'clock, to amagic lantern ex-
hibition and lecture On the subject OF
temperance. The public is invited to be
present no charge for admission.
Rev. Mr.. Wright, of Albuquerque,
preached an excellent sermon last even
ing at the M, +. Church. A large con-
gregation was present. Rev. Mr.. Fry
and Presiding Elder Wiltsee were both
present and took part in the services.
The funeral OF Mrs. W. NJ. Upton took
place yesterday morning from the cathe-
dral, large number OF sorrowing friends
gathering to pay last tribute to the
memory of this excellent young woman.
A beautiful lot of flowers were contributed
by friends OF the family.
San Francisco Street is being improved.
Let the property holders add to the value
Of their property by also improving the
sidewalks. By the car load, lumber can
be bought dirt cheap here, and if a num-
Der OF property owners combine they can
doubtless make contract that would be
all around beneficial.
VIM. T. McCreight, the able city editor
of the Albuquerque Citizen, came up
yesterday for the purpose of drawing
cool breath in Santa Fe, to attend to some
revenue matters, and to see if the census
returns of the city of Santa Fe were all
doctored. He went home well satisfied
man, swearing that Santa Fe had fine
climate, in fact the finest, and, if it had
not %, 900 people, that it ought to have
them.
Santa Fe real estate is all right, There's
money in it. Eight months ago M. Ber-
ardinelli bought track on Manhattan
and Don Gaspar avenues, paying $1,750
therefor. Last week Jay 7. Adams, the
Denver real estate man, took thirty
days option on it for 81 ,250. To-day
a telegram was received closing the deal
and announcing that the money was on
the way. Capt. John Gray made the
sale.
Applications for those pamphlets adver-
Using Santa Fe's advantages as a health
resort were received to-day from
four eastern states. Judge McFie
said that he learned through the
Washington papers that such pam
phlet was about to be issued and he
thinks such method OF advertising is
bound to attract widespread attention to
the historic city.
Twenty street lamps would be Of benefit
and would add to the security and COM
fort Of the people Of Santa Fe. 1t strikes
the average citizen that Santa Fe pays
sufficient tax to obtain them. But, OF
course, as long as the county commission
ers care for nothing except to collect taxes
from the many and spend them for the
benefit Of choice few, street lamps can
not be had. The citizens of Santa Fe
have no rights the board OF county COM
missioners need respect.
It's Fame is Growing.
