BIOGRAPHICAL - REPRESENTATIVE HINKLE.
Hon. j. F. Hinkle, the able and affable
guardian in the lower house of the inter
csts of Lincoln, Chaves and Eddy coun-
ties-or, as Representative Martin puts
it, southeastern New Mexico and part
of Texas"--ls one of that great colony of
Mssourians which has, in these latter
days, driven out the Indians and taken
possession of New Mexico. Mr.. Hinkle
is much more youthful in his years and
appearance than he is in his ability and
fitness for the public service, having just
passed the 30-year mile post. Mr.. Hinkle
came to New Mexico in 1885, just after
completing his education at the Missouri
university, at Columbia, Mo. He cast
his first vote in New Mexico and it was
for tho straight Democratic ticket headed
by the name of Antonio Joseph. Entering
the cattle business, he worked his way up
from the ranks to the management of the
Champion Cattle company, one of the
most prominent and prosperous in the
| territory. Mr.. Hinkle was in 1882 mar
ried to Miss Lillian Roberts, of Lincoln
Their union has been blessed with little
son. Mr.. Hinkle's family are spending
the session with him IN this city. The
sub iect of this sketch was several years
ago elected chairman of the board o.
commissioners for Lincoln county, al
which time he was the youngest man il
that position in the territory. He hal
been county treasurer tor Lincoln county
In 1892 he was elected to represent thu
18th district In the lower house, followed
last fall by renewal q. this e1pr es sie,I
s sf eeeifi di 80 80 81 the part of his people
The New MEXICAN hazards nothing il
saying that Mr.. Hinkle is one of the mos
highly esteemed men in public life to
day. This is true not only on account o
his sociable disposition and his marked
ability, both of which qualities are un
doubtedly his; but also on account of
general recognition of the fact that he il
a man of lncorruptlble integrity and o
answering honesty and fidelity to duty
The people of the Pecos valley region re
celved many congratulations upon tn
admirable Judgment which last fall char
acterized their selection of representa-
tives in the present assembly and it i
certain that Mr.. Hinkle proves in tn
house in every respect worthy colabore
for Mr.. Curry, who represents the sam
constituency in the council.
BIOGRAPHICAL = REPRESENTATIVE GARCIA
Hon. Juan Garcia, whe represents tn
county of Rio Arriba In the lower house

ton at the Santa Fe schools, Mr.. Carol

hence IN 1855 to Rio Arriba county. wher
he engaged in farming near Chamita. H
!, is now living at the same place. Nj
Garcia has been probate Judge of hi
held the office of county commissions
for two years. This is his second term i
the legislature, which is strong evidenc
that the people recognize fidelity in tn
public service. Mr.. Garcia is perhaE
the oldest member of the present Assem-
bly, and his popularity and influence wit
his colleagues is entirely commensurate
with his years. He is a Representative
who always makes it point to be in hi
seat and to vote right when he is there.
