WORLDS FAIR WORK.
A Readable Report by Mrs. Bartlett
Touching its Progress in
New Mexico.
An Excellent Showing as to What the
Women of New Mexico are Doing
in Worthy Cause.

To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, Feb. 20.-At your request
offer report Of my trip in the interest ol
New Mexico's exhibit at the Worlds fair
/ have organized personally committees
in eight counties. viz: Santa Fe,
socorro, Dona Ana, Grant, Sierra
Valencia, Bernalillo and San Mi
guel. The other counties have already
with the exception of two, received their
appointments, but as yet circumstances
have prevented our meeting together
That, however, is only question Of time,
as | start upon my tour OF Worlds fail
work in the other eight counties in short
time.
The following resume of the committees
and their duties, report, as | feel the
people of New Mexico own the right oi
understanding our work, and it is upon
this basis that we invite criticism and
suggestion.
Our department, separate and distinct
from the work of The other lady manager
of the territory, Mrs. F. L. Albright, of
Albuquerque, covers the following COM
mittees: Press, finance, educational,
archm ological, chronological and the pro-
gress of labor and invention, Indian work,
Indian mission and industrial schools,
benevolent societies, bees and bee culture,
honey, poultry and native birds, entomo-
logical collection.
Collection of the "fora" of the territory
divided into the following sub-depart-
ments, collection of the "hora" ferns
ornamental grasses
Cactaceae, yucca and display OF its
qualities as a proper fibre and as a rival
in the various uses OF hemp.
Amole and display of its saponaceous
qualities.
Tanning, and in this connection the dis
play of the tannic qualities of the cana
agria plant.
A collection of tanned and mounted
skins of native wild animals.
Medicinal herbs, preserved fruits and
vegetables, as proposed by house wives.
1t may be well to remark upon these
different committees, as criticism has
already been made upon one work to the
effect that it invades in too great degree
the department of men. The natural
inference, following out this line of
argument, might be that if the men of
New Mexico did not carry out certain
lines of work in our department it might
be better to leave the display unmade.
However, we hope with the assistance Of
all the bright women of the territory who
have pledged their aid to so successfully
carry on our lahors as to disarm our
critics.
Press committee. The duties of this
committee are to keep the citizens Of the
territory, for whose benefit we labor
thoroughly informed of all we do and tc
invite suggestion and help from those
who have the desire to advance the
welfare of our future Sunshine state,
but are unable to do more than advance
their ideas through lack OF time and ell
crossing occupations.
To collect all articles Of literary merl
within the territory, by women ant
men. Thus showing for our brethrer
and their works forethought and care
that We trust after this committee shal
have been thoroughly understood, ma.
prove reciprocal.

TELEGRAPHjC T|D|NGS,
ON IRRIGATION.
Government Investigation on the
irtesian UnderfiOw In the West.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The final report
OF the artesian and underflow investiga-
ton of the irrigation inquiry authorized
by law has heen completed and sent to
congress by the secretary Of agriculture.
The report treats the entire subject Of
irrigation and the cultivation of the soil
thereby and pre- ents data of the utmost
importance OF ir gation and reclamation
Of arid lands. The maps and illustrations
accompanying the report are finely drawn
and make plain many things that would
otherwise remain obscure to the average
reader.
The report contains treatises on thirty
four different subjects, included in which
is treatise on irrigation in Colorado and
New Mexico and another on develop
ment of the arid plateau of Kansas and
the committee states that it is generally
supposed interest in the subject is con-
fined to the arid regions of the west and
south west, but that this is not the case.
The interest aroused in this subject in the
sections of country most largely affected
by heavy precipitation and constant
humidity is almost as widespread and
intense

The Pioneer, In an article last week on
county politics, says: For Register the
Republicans will re-nominate John II.
Kelly, who has made a model ofiicer.
We cannot believe that the Democrats will
put up candidate against the old gentle
man, although Edward Maynard would
like the position" In the same article the
Pioneer says the Republicans have three
candidates who will try to get the nom-
ination for the Office Of Judge of Probate.
Geo. nj. Slusser, the present Judge of
Probate, Is Democrat, an old pioneer,
and will be nominated by the Democrats.
Mr.. Kelly is an old pioneer. Both are
we'll advanced In years. Both attend to
the duties of their Offices In a manner
worthy Of the highest praise. Both de-
pend on the offices they hold for living.
MIR. Slusser, the Democrat, does the Pro-
bate Office work himself, while Mr.. Kelly
the Republican, Is too feeble to do the
register work himself, and the duties Of
the Office have been faithfully attended
to the past several years by his daughter,
Miss Della Kelly, who thus maintains her
aged parents. Now the Republican paper
seems to think it wrong for the Democrats
to nominate an opponent to Mr.. Kelly,
but II so, is 1t not equally as wrong for
the Republicans to nominate candidate
against Mr.. Slusser? II the Republicans
desire to be fair and liberal on this ques-
ton, let them make an agreement with
the Democrats, and have both these old
and worthy citizens and pioneers nominal
ed by both parties.
We think 1t would be a credit to both
parties II they laid aside their partisan
ship In regard to Mr.. Slusser and Mr.
Kelly. 1t would show that political
parties are willing to do acts that we be-
lleve would meet the warm approval of
the majority Of the citizens OF Alpena
COUNT. The Republicans have no right
to ask the Democrats to lay aside par
tisanship, unless they are willing to meet
them half way. The best plan is for both
parties to nominate Mr. Slusser and Mr..
Kelly, and fight their political battles over
the national, State, congressional, legisla-
tive and county tickets.
