much annoyed at times by pet dogs
following their owner or some member
Of the family to market. Very often
there is free fight-right In the market

poking their nose into every ones

master politely asks owners to please

the peple generally. All perhaps knew
that IL q contractor fails to receive biz
pay for erecting a building, he can make
his money out of the property by Great

but we believe there are few who know
that IL the contractor fails to pay biz
workmen, they can also make their mo.
ney out Of the property In the same man

make their contracts accordingly, OF

The Fauna of the Southwest.

The fauna of New Mexico com prises about 300 species of birds. The strange feature of it, is, however, that nearly one-iourth or seventy species, are aquatic. Thus, out Of the thirty six species of North American dncks, twenty are found in New Mexico. Eight kinds of heTons, two cranes, the trumpeter swan (Cignus Bnccinator), five geese, fifteen snipes, q gull, larus Delawarensis make it's appearance in our territory occasionally. Of plovers, four species pertain to New Mexico. Only q few aquatic birds enumerated breed here. Another peculiarity of our ornithological fauna is the ab- sence of representatives of the parrot Il ibes. This is the more surprising, as the pine forests of the northern Sierra Madre are haunted by a species Of large green parrot in numbers. That bird is a constant inhabitant of the solitude west Of the Casa Grande But, unlike the Carolinian parrot, il is not migratory. The green and vel. | low plumes which our Pueblo Indians | so much esteem, were obtained by them formerly on their trading ex- petitions to Sonora, in exchange for buffalo hides and turquoise. This commerce is very ancient. It existed previous to the arrival of the Span iards, although it was much more ir- regular than afterwards, when, as late as 1859, annual expeditions were made by the Pueblos to Guaymas and the interior of Sonora. The ilidescent shell so highly prized by the Indians were also secured by them on such occasions.-New Mexican.
 But the fauna of Arizona is is still more rich, over three hundred and sixty species of birds. having been catalogued, and scarcely year passes that one or more new birds are not added to our already long list oi feathered residents. There is nc field in the United States so promising to ornithologist or one that is so much neglected.-Citizen.

Arid Lands.

A Washington telegram of April 20, says; Tie secretary of the inter for to-day was questioned as to the truth of statements recently made that he was about to order the with drawal from entry of all lands in aiiI regions, under the act of October 2nd 1888. The secretary stated in reply that these statements which he had heard were erroneous, but as the act in question by its terms was apparent ly very broad ii it's provisions for withdrawal, and as the question had recently been raised in the general land office, he had referred it to the attorney general for true legal con. struction as to exactly what lands were intended to be withdrawn from entry. When this opinion of the at- torney general is received the practice of the department would be made to conform to tho legal effect, of ;he act of October ,, 'SS, and nothing else.
