tricts was appointed TO consider ways
and means of handling this years grape
crop. This committee has prepared plan
Of action under which meeting5 will be
called in the different viticultural districts.
The Initial meetings will be held in Heads
burg and Santa Rosa, and others will be
called in Napa, Alameda and Santa Clara
counties.
AT these meetings grape-grOwers will be
asked to deliver their crops for this and
several years to come to the so-called pro-
tective syndicate. They agreeing to do so
they will be guaranteed fair ''liying"
prices for their products. and
there will be no demoraliza ton
of the market as hap ened in
the past. Mr.. Wetmore reported that
the outlook for this plan is very hopeful
and that the committee had prepared
schedule of prices, but they would not be
made public until they had been passed on
by those interested.
The Commissioners were now Informed
that the test case of A. II. Brown, the
wine-maker of Temescal, Riverside County,
would come up at that place before the
Superior Court on the 23d inst. Mr..
Brown reported in his communication that
he thought he had q good case. 1t is
to test the rights of county Boards
of Supervisors TO pass prohibition
laws which cone in conflict with the in
tent OF State laws to protect the wine and
brandy interests. In the weiI-knowa
MERGED case, decided three months ago by
the Supreme Court, that body held that
the sale of wine or brandy from distil-
leries did not constitute a sale of liquor as
opposed to the local liquor ordinances, and
that as the State encouraged wine prOduc-
ton il was wrong for the counties to adopt
any adverse legislation.
Resolutions were passed eulogistic of the
late K. B. Blowers, who was a member of
the old board of viticultural commission
ers in 1880. from the Sacramento district.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: John T. Doyle, pres-
dent; L. G. Bichowsky. viee-president
81. w. Crabbe, treasurer; c. }. Wetm0re,
executive officer; Winfield Scott, secre-
tary.
Some time this week there will be a
meeting of the wine-makers of Fresno
County, for the purpose Of coming to some
agreement on sweet wine production this
year.

VINE DISEASES.
Renewed Ravages of the
Phylloxera.
An Association to Be Formed for the
Protection of Grape-Growers
Generally.

The annual meeting Of the State Viii
cultural Commissioners was held yester-
day, John L. Doyle presiding. The other
members present were /. de Turk. George
West, Allen Towle and Il. w. Crabbe.
Viticultural Officer Clarence Wetmore
submitted an interesting report upon
various matters which he had Investigated
under instructions from the commission.
In regard to the mysterious disease
which for several years has ravaged the
vines around ADaheim he stated that the
latest reports showed that il was gradually
dying out and losing its strength. This IS
the disease which has baffied the enorts of
the most expert Investigators to determine
Its cauee. For want OF technical name 1t
has been called the Anaheim disease, that
being tha locality where it has caused the
most destruction to vines.
While this report was reassuring IN its
way, the accounts of the spread OF the
deadly phglloxera were OF Encouraging
tenor. Mr.. Wetmore said that the
phylloxera was making steady increase
In growth in Napa, Solano and Sonoma
counties. and was spreading in Santa Clara
County and the western side OF Alameda
County, especially around Mission San
Jose and Warm Springs.
The report also went on to show that the
efforts OF the commission to get compro-
mise on the tariff matter relating TO wines
and brandies now pending in Congress had
! been crowned with success. and that IL
had been passed by tho national body
of legislation. Under the COMPROMISE
measure thus passed the duty on imnorted
dry wines will be 80 cents gallon, on
| fortified wines 80 cents q gallon and on
brandy 81 so a gallon. MIR. Charles A.
| Wetmore, who is now in Washington, had
also sent word that he has strong hOpes OF
having an amendment added TO the bill
| for the benefit of brandy-distiliers and
shippers.
The matter of forming cooperative
syndicate for the protection of grape
| growers in general was talked over. This
subject was the outcome of q meeting of
representative viticulturists held on the

WORKING FOR NEW MEXICO,

Just word to the citizens of New Mex
leo, in confidence. The New MEXICAN is
doing its best to publish a newspaper
that no citizen need blush to have come
into his home. It's aim is to be truthful,
fair, newsy and progressively Demo-
cratic, covering the whole news field of
the territory to the end that all shall
grow and prosper alike. Under its new
management the Geographic news page
of the paper has been vastly improved,
and full Associated Press reports are
published daily, twelve hours ahead of
any other journal in New Mexico. The
whole news world of the day is covered in
these dispatches up to the hour of 4
o'clock daily, and every effort is made to
present it in readable, accurate form
no garbling of dispatches; no careless
proof reading, every market report in
particular being compared with copy
before it goes out to the reading public
1t costs money to do these things, and
in order to make the NEW MEXICAN the
success that it ought to be, that every
Democrat especially, and every progress
i've citizen of the territory in general,
should desire to see it, the management
relies upon just and proper appreciation
of its efforts at the hands of the people,
Will pective of politics, race,
condition, etc.--whose eyes fall upon this
column advance their own and New Mex
ico's interests by lending their kindly aid
at this time to the efforts of this journal
in adding just 200 more names to its list
of daily readers throughout the territory
during the month of February? There
are brighter days coming for us all. The
New MEXICAN is going to continue to
stay at the top of the heap and in the
lead for New Mexico's progress, in every
part of it, everywhere. Send your sub
scription in for the "leading territorial
newspaper" and ask your neighbor to do
likewise.

Press Comments on Territorial
Affairs.
"(sujlty, or Not Guilty."

The developments in the preliminary
examination at Santa Fe of tho parties
charged with the assassination OF Frank
Chavez, are growing sensational in the
extreme. Juan Gallegos, on cross-ex-
animation, swore positively that "Hipoli-
to Vigil, Francisco Borrego and the
others told him Catron would pay him
800 if he would kill Chavez, and would
defend him in court if he got into any
trouble about it. He believed them, be-
cause they swore to it," 1t must be re-
membered, however, that this is not
direct testimony. The witness may be
correct; Hipolito Vigil and others may
have told him that, and still they may
have been lying to him; they may have
assured HIM that Catron would defend
him, SO as to encourage him to do the
deed. But the charge, even at second
hand, is too grave one for Mr.. Catron
to let pass unnoted, to entirely exonorate
himself from the unsavory connection
with this affair, with which rumor &C.
credited him, even before this second
hand story was made public, he should
locate his status, beyond all question.
Juan Gallegos makes this statement

did not, witness is a perjurer and should
be punished to the full extent of the law;
if they did, then Catron should resign the
defense of Vigil's living associates. who
have used the influence of his name and
his ability as an attorney to induce
crime.
We know nothing of the credibility of
tho witness, but if his statements carry
any weight whatever, the authorities
should sift the matter to the bottom, let
the results be what they may. We would
have to have the most absolute proof be-
fore we could be forced to believe that
I. B. Catron was one of conspiracy to
commit deliberate assassin; but if it
should be that one of the richest men
and ablest lawyers of the territory is
using his money to tempt murder, and
promising his legal ability in defense to
embolden his hirelings, that man should
be dealt with even more severely than
the ignorant hireling who strikes the
blow.-Springer Stockman.

Grand Canon of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest OF
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder OF
the world. You can "read up about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. d L. A., A.
I. & S. f. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you a free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.

The reclamation of the arid lands is a
deep problem, surrounded by SO many
complications that nobody expects con-
gress to take it up and dispose of it in a
hurry; but, nevertheless, progress is max
ing in the right direction. Senator
White, of California, has introduced
a bill appropriating $25o,ooO to be e1-
pended under the direction of the secre-
tary of agriculture to determine upon the
best plan to reclaim the arid region. If
the investigation be conducted with an
intelligent purpose for the benefit Of the
people, and kept clear of political and
monopolistic influences, the money will
be well spent. Above all things, let men
of the Powell stripe out of the job.
