ing legislative work yesterday and to-
day.
The daughter and son of Hon. Julian
Montoya are visiting him in Santa Fe
and will remain till the close of the SEES
sion.
Hon. W. B. Childers wears almost as
broad smile to-day, as he did the day Mrs.
Childers presented him with those
lovely twins. Cause-a success scored in
the legislative halls.
N. c. Collier is still about, working for
his pet measure; since he has taken off
his green necktle, it seems the Irish vote
in the council ID not as fully his own as it
was before that memorable episode.
DR.. j. j. Shuler, prominent physician
and leading citizen of Raton is herework-
ing some legislative matters of interest
to Ration. The doctor has many friends
and his work counts for good deal.
Photographer Curren has mounted in
groups members of the council and house
and also the officers and employees of
each branch. The photos are excellent
and the grouping is very Hastily done.
Among the recommendations filed for
the re appointment of Judge W. Fl. White
man as district attorney of the district of
Bernalillo and Valencia is one signed by
the boards of county commissioners of
both counties in the district.
C.M. Stockton, division superintendent
at Kansas City, and G. H. Young, superin-
tendent of the New Mexico division of
the Wells. Fargo Express company, are in
the city. They made arguments before
the joint conference committee and ar
gued as to the individuality of taxing
receipts of their company at this time.
Hon. 7. F. Conway, well and favorably
known in Santa Fe, is still here looking
after Legislative matters IN which Silver
City is interested. Mr.. Conway counts
his friends here by the dozen and his in
fence has been felt in several matters be-
fore the assembly. He is deservedly
popular here.
Senator Fall made an eloquent talk in
the council this morning when the bill
providing that farmers may collect dam
ages for injury done by live stock, was
under consideration. The Mesilla valley
farmer and fruit growers interest were
ably set forth by him and the bill passed
by vote of IL to l.
Geo. L. Brooks, representing the New
Mexico cattle sanitary board, has institu-
ted mandamus proceeding against R. j.
Palen, territorial treasurer, to require
him to place to the credit of the cattle
sanitary commission the sum of $4,000, in
by the legislative assembly. The case
was submitted to Judge Lee at Los Lunas
on Tuesday and taken under advisement.
There was no other candidate meu-
toned for appointment as attorney for
the district com posed of the counties of
Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and San Juan, but Hon
K. E. Twitcheil. A powerful recommen-
dalton signed by every Republican mem
Der of the house and council, by the
Judges of the supreme court and by many
leading citizens was filed in the executive
office in his case several weeks ago
The latest is the new county of Galisteo,
with the county seat at Cerrillos. The
proposed new county includes all the A.,
r. & s. F. main line in Santa Fe county,
which pays taxes, and yet the bill has
provision providing that none of Santa
Fe county's railroad debt shall be as
sumed by the new county. However, there
is little likelihood that the measure will
become law, particularly since Fl. B. No.
149, relative to franchises in towns, has
passed both houses against the protest of
large element at Cerrillos.
There has been an active fight for the
district attorneyship of the Socorro dis
trict, the present incumbent, Hon. W. s.
Williams, and Hon. W. E. Kelly being the
contestants. Each candidate fled guam
titles of recommendations, but those of
Mr.. Williams preponderated, and among
the native element were almost unani-
nous. This, added to the fact that he was
endorsed by judges of the supreme court
