Representative Hopewell is doing good
work at Santa Fe, not only for the dis
trict but for the territory. In the matter
of Worlds fair appropriation he has
evinced commendable zeal and activity
and it will be greatly due to his endeavors
if New Mexico should make Il creditable
display. ltillsborough Advocate.
Colfax county is very well represented
in Santa Fe by Messrs. Salazar, Sever
and Valdez, who are backing Hon. Robt.

do more than dozen others can, and too
many on the ground arc likely to do more
harm than good. Springer Stockman
The capital removal proposition is all
talk up to date. = 81 The New MEX

this city, and is hash reflection on the
members of the legislature. -Albuquerque
