Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-03-04
ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

The children of Santa Fe are wrestling
with the whooping cough just now, and
the disease is quite severe in form,
though thus far but one death is report
ed. Even adults suffer also, several
grown people who have had 1t once be-
ing forced to 20 through the most excru-
ciating "whoops." Reports from other
towns in the territory speak OF the dis
ease as generally prevalent. 1t seems to
be another aftermath of the dreadful ia
grippe" that struck the country year
ago.
According to reports from outside in
vestors, it is evident that number of our
Santa Fe men who own large suburban
tracts of land are still standing in their
own light and obstructing the progress of
Santa Fe's growth and prosperity. This
is indeed shameful. 1t is one Of the
aueerest things of this queer world that
some people can never learn to be salts
fed with that which is simply good
enough!
"A fortune awaits the man who estab-
fishes wool securing mill in Santa Fe.
A million or more pounds of wool and
100000 pounds of WOODEN pelts per year
would be at the command of such an ell
terprise. Its proximity to the producing
sections, absolutely pure water, cheap
labor and railroad competition render
Santa Fe the best point in the west for
the location OF such an enterprise.
Manager Wulf, of the Santa Fe De-
velopment and Street Railway company,
has established his office in the Sena
block on Palace avenue and is busy draft
ing map OF the city and plan for the
street-car barn and office. AS soon as
the weather is fairly settled this COM
pany will get down to business in man
ner as will astonish the croakers.
A. w. Kimball, late U. S. quartermas-
ter's agent at Albuquerque, which office
has been abolished, has arrived here to
take position in the district quartermas-
ter's office. 1t is rumored that the dis
trict paymaster, Major Maynadier, will
soon be ordered from Albuquerque to
Santa Fe to take up his quarters. All
straws showing how the military breeze
tends.
Here no expensive methods OF fertiliza-
ton have to be resorted to, for the sedi-
ment, constantly kept in solution in the
waters that flow into the valley from the
adjacent mountains, carries much better
fertilizer than any manure or phosphates
known to science, and with every irriga
ton this rich deposit is placed where it
will do the most good.
This from the Springer Stockman is
somewhat premature, as yet, but it will
come out that way ere long; "All OF the
old military posts in New Mexico and
Arizona, except Fort Wingate, are to be
abandoned, the troops concentrated at
Wingate, with district headquarters at
Santa Fe."
Add Ryman, jr., representing Denman
Thompson & Geo. W. Ryder's 1.-TWO Sis
ters" Dramatic company, is in the city
arranging for the appearance OF his com
pany at an early date.
Personal note to Tom Catron: "Move
to Albuquerque and we will elect you 10
the next Legislature" - Albuquerque
Citizen.
The Alamo hotel is doing an excellent
business and is fitting up an additional
number of rooms for the accommodation
of guests.
