qnence there has been little love LOST Pc

Visiting the Canon.

By actual count, over 100 ladies and
gentlemen visited the picturesque Monu'
ment rock region yesterday, many OF
them taking in Aztec springs en- route
and enjoying the drive over the improved
road up the canon. Not few tarried the
better part of the day "enticing the wiley
trucha," as Harry Clancy puts it, and
some splendid strings of mountain trout
were brought home as trophies of the
trip.
The drive way has been vastly i'm
proved by the work of last week; every
visitor expressed surprise that it could
have been so cheaply and quickly done
and already there is talk of extending
this improvement to the very head of the
canon, twelve miles distant with view
eventually to opening the road to the
lakes.
AS result of opening this delightful
mountain region, the livery men yester
day did rushing business. Every vehicle
was in demand and score or more o
people were prevented from making thu
trip because they could secure no teams

ment relative to the occupation Of fruit

when the facts regarding this climate

Of people in the country afflicted with
lung diseases there will, of course, be a
large percentage of well-to.do people seek
ing residence here; but coming along
with these will be very large number
who have scanty means and for whom it
will be necessary to find some sort OF con-
genial, light, out-of-door labor. To my
mind, it is God-send that such occupa-
ton is here at hand in fruit farming.
There is room here for 10, 900 people to earn
a living by cultivating small farms of from
three to twenty acres. The phenomenal
producing capacity of your soil, as | have
seen it demonstrated, and the climate is
such that, by irrigation, a rotation OF
crops can be produced each season, so
that comparatively small farm hero is
quite as profitable as thrice the quantity
of land located elsewhere"

To-night's Meeting,


An indignation meeting has been called
to be held at the court house this evening
at s O'Clock, to protest against an article
which appeared in Ell Defensor del Pueb-
10, published at Albuquerque, of which
Juan Jose Herrera is the proprietor. In
said article the editor attacks the worthy
Archbishop Salpointe, his lamented pre-
decessor, and the Catholic clergy gener,
ally of this territory.
Such slanderous abuse, is worthy
of mere silent contempt, still so glazing
mlsstatement of facts, such abusive false
hoods, being likely to mislead the simple
and unsuspecting, should meet with an
emphatic denial by the faithful Catholic
people of this city who have known the
venerable archbishop during so many
years and who do admire his services to
I religion and education in New Mexico
and Arizona.
The language in which Vicar General
Eguillon is treated can call forth only I'M
restricted condemnation. This Jealous
clergyman has during his long residence
in New Mexico become well known for
deeds of modest and transformations char
ity to the poor.
The integrity of Fathers Antonio and
Deraches will, undoubtedly, meet with en-
dorsement at the hands of the citizens Of
Santa Fe who will assemble to denounce
the calumnious attacks OF a fire-brand
hostile alike to civil society and religion

OFFICIAL GOSSIP.

On Thursday there will be meeting of
the worlds fair commissioners at the
governors Office.
Prof. A. E. Blount, Of the faculty. and
J. A. Whitemore, of the board of regents
of the New Mexico college of agriculture,
have gone to Washington to attend the
meeting of the association of the agricul-
tural college and experiment stations
which convenes on the 18th inst.
The Las Cruces Republican thinks pub
lie school teachers won't fall over one an
other seeking jobs in Dona Ana county,
and it makes this statement; Dona Ana
county had twenty nine schools in opera
ton last year of from three to eight
months duration. The highest salary
paid was $50 per month, for eight months !;
the lowest $25 per month, for three
months. The whole amount of school
money in each of fifteen districts fell be-
low $240 for 1890; and six months money
for 1891 in sixteen districts falls below
500 and in eight districts below $50.
There is no doubt with such opportun-
tiles for usefulness at a profit, there will
be large influx of first clase teachers in
to Dona Ana county.
