SANTA FE CORRESPONDENCE.

SANTA FE, Jan. IA, '92.
Editor FREE Pass
A visitor from Las Vegas to the
capital city is pretty certain to be
much more favorably impressed by
the appearance of things around the
Plaza and by the evidences of new
life and spirit one feels in the at
mosphere when circulating around
among the people.
The appearance of the central
part of the city has been much inn
proved by the completion of the
Catron and Weber blocks. These
two fine blocks are located on oppo-
site corners of the Plaza and are re-
markably fine structures. The
streets are now in a better condition
than they were last winter, but the
city council has big job ahead of
it before they can be put in a condi-
ton that will be really creditable to
the capital city.
The new movements on foot in the
direction of railroad building and
mining development in southern
Santa Fe county have aroused much
more hopeful feeling in reference to

As war material becomes more
deadly every year, scientific men are
estimating the terrific loss of human
life which will ensue in the next
war. A bullet from a Mannlicher
rifle would go straight through three
or four men standing close behind
each other, so that there will be
more shelter in marching in dense
lines.

In conversation with a person yes
terday, we asked what was the rea-
son so much land that was under
ditch between here and the Springs,
and valuable land too, was allowed
to lie uncultivated. He said that
the main reason was that most of
the owners were too poor to fence
the land they owned, and that there
was so much loss to them by cattle
straying around destroying the crops
that they preferred to let the land lie
idle to trying to cultivate it. 1t
seems pity the owners can not be
persuaded to sell to parties who can
utilize the land and fence and raise
crops, and the persons selling out
could get enough from the sales to
90 where land was much cheaper,
and make a better start for them
selves there.

The Irrigation Convention in
March should not be forgotten, but
Las Vegas should take every method
possible to please and captivate her
visitors. We have not had such a
chance TO advertise and show the
town for a long time as this conven-
ton gives us, and it should be used
10 the best advantage.

The trustees of the Cumberland Coun-
ty Agricultural Society have issued the
following circular:
At our trustees meeting of April 80 it
was voted to limit our colt purses for
1892, viz: For one year olds $50, for two
year olds $75, for three year Odds 500,
and for four year olds 1925, to Cumber-
land and York counties. It is hoped
York county will open its colt purses to
Cumberland county this year. Hereto
fore colts from Cumberland county have
been barred out of York county as we'll
as the remainder of the state. This So
ciety has taken this action at the request
of breeders and owners all over the
county. We would urge upon your at
tention the necessity of filling the colt
purses at our county fair of September
Ii, IA, Is and IS next with colts from
Cumberland county.
If this is done, as we hope it will be,
1t will much encourage horsemen of our
own county TO make more effort next
year. 1t is hoped to show in time colts
from Cumberland county equal to any in
Maine.
This society asks your help now in this
matter. Our track and stalls at Gorham
are open free to all patrons of our fair.
We hope to see many horses and colts
there this season, fitting for fall races.

Lumbermen's Peril.

Nelson Dow and Andy Thompson of

Gently went out in boat to start big
Jam which had formed in Carratunk
Falls, Kingman, but before they could
do any work the jam started and the
logs hitting the boat, capsized it, throw
ing the two men into the water among
hundreds of whirling, plunging logs.
Friends on shore rushed out upon the
moving bridge and endangered their own
lives in trying to save their comrades.
At last at the end of 20 minutes and
after the struggling men had gone down
the river about half mile, now under
the logs and now partly on them, they
were rescued, bruised and bleeding from
their desperate battle with death.
