The Farmers Alliances Of North Dakots,
through their secretaries and the chamber
Of commerce Of Grand Forks, in thst state,
have done great deal Of work in the
direction Of bringing desirable farm hands
into their section for this springs work.
The railroads have been helping them on
the same course for months past. The
Great Northern il sending out 25, 900
copies Of circular headed 10000 men
wanted" and saying that farm hands.
threshiag crews, plo~men and teams are
badly needed in the districts where much
Of the grain is still in stack and shock.
The same is true Of the Northern Pacific
and other roads in this section. Owing to
the vast amount Of work that was necessary
to place the marketing Of last seasons crop
~ far forward ~ it il, tho fall plowing had
to Be neglected to . great extent, and
spring plowing and narrowing will now be
carried on to : grsaSer extent than ever
heretofore known during"the spring period
The prices offered for farm hands are said
to be generally satisfactory. The circulars
Of the alliances that are being sent East
are directed towards bringing Eastern
friends to tho Northwestern settlers-Ohio
men to Dskots pioneers who came from
Ohio, etc. E. G. D. shortridge. president
of the North Dakota Farmers Alliance,
and D. R., MeGinnis, secretary Of tho Grand
Forks chamber Of commerce, have been
particularly active In this matter. The
movement Of the st. Paul Jobbers' union
in the same direction 10 highly appreciated
by the Northwestern leaders and Ill sp-
pear to be working hand-in-hand to put
the farming interests in the best possible
shape for the present seasons work.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

The plaza was left in a sorry plight by
the crowd that assembled there on Satur
day night. It should be cleaned up.
Meeting OF the Catron Republican club
at 7 sharp tomorrow evening. Every
member is requested to be prompt in at
tendance.
The attention OF the city street commis-
sioner is called to the condition of the
College street bridge 1t requires imme.
date attention.
A high-class concert backed by the
leading musical talent in town is soon to
be given for the benefit OF the Ladies'
Benevolent association.
Visitors at Colds museum: James
Donaldson, Silverton, Colo. II. Davis,
Golden, Colo. Henry Hertz, Galveston.
Texas; Oliver Hart, Trinidad, Colo. Mrs.
Ruby Smith, Newark, N. j.; Henry
Correl, Albuquerque; Miss Flora Sanchez,
Las Vegas.
Some kindly friend of Governor Prince
sends up box of superior grapes from
the Mesilla valley. Ia the collection are
the Flame Tokay, Muscat of Alexandra
and Rose Of Peru varieties, and the fruit
is simply perfect as regards size, color
and flavor.
The Chicago Inter Ocean states that
Col. Robt. M. Brayton, 10th in
fantry, has applied for retirement from
the service, he having served thirty years.
This retirement will promote Col. Simon
Snyder to be colonel of the 10Th; Capt.
Lacey to be major of the 10th, and LIST
Lieut.. VIM. Paulding to be captain.
, p. II. Leese came in from the north
ern part of the county last evening and
brought the New MEXICAN sample Of
his Espanola grapes-which the same
are tomatoes. He has 1000 vines OF
tomatoes loaded with fruit and he does
a large business in shipping them to all
points along the D. & r. G. The Palace
hotel is among Mr.. Leese's patrons.
Edward Miller, the Tesuque valley
fruit grower, was the victim of vicious
piece of business few days ago, his
! handsome colt OF the Pine stock dying
under circumstances which point I'M
mistakably to poison. The colt was graz
ing in Mr.. Miller's pasture and the sup
position is that some one slipped hand
full of poisoned salt through the fence.
1t is sad to think that any one living
about Tezuque would undertake to do as
mean a piece Of business toward a
neighbor.
From the magnificent gardens of Mrs.
w. II. Manderfeid with the compli.
ments OF that very excellent lady, the
owner of the gardens, the New MEXICAN
received this afternoon a basket Of
magnificent, luscious and handsome
peaches OF the Crawford variety. Seven
of them were found to weigh one pound
and two ounces. This fruit shows what
care and attention and the fine soil and
great climate OF the Santa Fe valley will
do. Never were there finer favored OF
better tasting peaches grown in Cali
fornia or elsewhere.

now that the water question is solved,
there as bright future in store for Santa
Fe. He learns through officers at Whip.

FAIR ECHOES.

South Santa Fe county's mines are
well represented in the mineral display.
St. Michaels college takes prominent
part in the educational exhibit arranged
by Prof. Hodgin.
Albert Calls little daughter Jennie
went down last night taking collection
of two varieties of guinea pigs which will
be exhibited.
Santa Feans going to the fair should
hunt up Dunlap OF w. j. Slaughter's
tonsorial rooms and he will treat them
nicely.
Mrs. Manderfield and Grant Riven-
burg each have fine exhibits OF Santa Fe
fruits on hand, though the display in
this department is not up to last year by
great deal.
Santa Fe county has three race horses
on the ground. These are Hualapa and

Democrat
Another 100 Santa Feans bought tickets
to Albuquerque last night and this morning
and this city is now represented at the fair
by over 200 people, whom the Democratic
sheets of Albuquerque are pleased to
refer to as "assassins." One would think
that the presence of 80 large number
of Santa Feans would suffice to run many
Albuquerqueans clean out of town.
The poultry exhibit attracts attention.

j. A. Arnont, Carthage, trio of Brown
Leghorns; W. G. Griffin, Albuquerque,
trio White LangshaDs, trio of Black Lang

peaches, ten plates of plums, five plates
OF nectarines, eight plates of pears, seven

and three bottles OF native wine. In ad-
dition the San Juan people have an agri-

Fred. Mendenhall, who came here two
years ago from Las Vegas and came very
near reaching the penitentiary for crook
ed business transaction with local
jeweler, is again in trouble. A Phoenix,
A. T., paper says;
Quite sensation was caused to-day by
the arrest of man purptrting to be John
Gage, who has been flying high here for
few days. Some weeks ago he went to
Lordsburg, N. NJ, and represented him
self as being one of the cattle kings of
Eddy on a stock buying expedition. He
bought 900 head of cattle from one man
and 300 from another, also about fifty
horses, giving checks in payment therefor.
He left the stock there, and getting some
checks cashed he came on to Phoenix.
The parties to whom he gave the checks
on s. S. Mendenhall & Son, of Eddy .tele-
graphed his father, ). S. Mendenha1l, to
find out if they were good. The reply
came that young Mendenhall had no
money, and they began tracing him up.
When they found him in this city he was
going by the name of Gage, though he
gave his real name at Lordsburg, and was
about closing the deal for two or three
alfalfa farms in the valley. He was put
in jail, and viii be taken back for trial.
