Bulletin No.. 2.
The temperature during the month was
slightly below the normal and but little
cloudy weather occurred.
The rainfall was considerably below the
normal, but there was an ample supply OF
water in the streams for irrigation, from
the melting snow in the mountains.
The deficiency in rainfall was injurious
to grass on the cattle ranges and to crops
not under irrigation; the showers occur
ring on the last days Of the month rene
died this to great extent in large part
of the territory. Fruit of all kinds is gen
orally in excellent condition and bids fair
to yield good crop.
Strawberries are ripe and a good yield
of excellent quality is reported. The second
crop of alfalfa is ready for cutting in the
southern part of the territory and the first
crop proved to be usually fine all over the
territory. All kinds of small grain is in
good condition but not quite as far ad-
vanced as usual at this time of year.
Corn is rather backward owing to the cool
nights.
There is considerable snow remaining
in the mountains to supply water for irri.
CATION, as it melts, and the season OF
summer showers is almost at hand, hence
the outlook for all kinds OF crops is very
encouraging. II. b. HERsEY,

County BOARD.

At to-day's session of the county board
bill was presented by ]. H. Knaebel
for 81 500 for services as attorney in the
contest county Offices cases; the board
declined to approve it.
The proposition Of the territorial insane
asylum demanding rs cents day, pay
able three months IN advance, for the
care OF each insane person, was consid-
cred. 1t was decided not to accept this
offer, as the law requires that no services
be paid for except upon sworn vouchers
presented after such services have been
rendered.
A petition Of 100 tax payers having
been filed as required by section chap.
ter 3S, laws Of '9l, it was resolved that
during the year 1892 the county treasurer
shall pay premium of $3.50 for every
mountain lion killed within the county
and IS for every gray wolf killed.

The CAPITOL AND STATEHOOD.
The Democratic Central Committee
Against Santa Ee-Mr. CatrOn
Talks with senator Plat.

Special Correspondence of the New Mexican.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The kilograms
and letters from the Democratic central
committeeman at Las Vegas and Albu.
querque have had their effect on Delegate
Joseph and on the members of the com
mittee on territories, and the best that
can be done is the probable passage of
the bill providing that the legislative as.
sembly of New Mexico shall have power
to increase the debt Of tie territory to the
sum Of $l5O,000 for the purpose of erect
ing capitol building, leaving everything
else to the will of the legislature. Indeed,
it will take work to get even this through
at the present session.
Delegate Joseph is apparently BEGIN
ming to hedge in this matter. He started
in very WE'LL and in accordance with the
true sentiment of the people OF the terri
tory pressed the capitol restoration at
Santa Fe most manfully, but threatening
letters from members of the territorial
Democratic central committee have fright
ened Mr.. Joseph, and he has lately writ
ten W. B Chiders at Albuquerque sug-
costing that the proposition to locate the
capitol be submitted to vote of the
people at the same time that they vote on
the statehood proposition.
Hon. 7. B. Catron was before the sem
ate committee on territories and has also
had very lengthy interview with SEN
ator Platt, and the latter, owing to Mr..
Catron's arguments and exertions, feels
more friendly towards statehood for New
Mexico, and the chances for favorable ac-
ton by the senate on the bill for an
enabling act are brighter to-day than
they ever were before. II the bill passes
New Mexico will be admitted before
March 4th of next year. n
