school would receive an increase almost
lnappreciable. The councilmen present
were evidently about equally divided on
the question. Messrs. Curry and Perea
were the most earnest advocates of the
/ bill, ,while Mr.. Hadley did most of the
talking-and very strong talk at that
for the opposition. A statement made
by Mr.. Curry was most significant both
as to the fate of the bill and as to the at
titude of its friends. He said, in effect,
that If the measure was defeated the sew
eral territorial institutions need expect
very little at the hands of himself and
friends during this session.
The committee arrived a. no conclu-
sion on the subjeo and will meet again
tonight for the purpose of formulating q
report to be made to the house to-mor-
row.
BIOGRAPHICAL. A. ANOHETA.
Hon. j. A. Ancheta, the councilman
from the district composed of Dona Ana
and Grant counties, was, like Councilman
Desmarais, born in 1865. He received his
very thorough education at st. Michael's
college in Santa Fe, which is the
alma mater of so many bright New Me1i-
cans; and from that place went to Notre
Dame university in Indiana, where he
completed his life's training about 1886.
He then settled in Silver City for the
practice of his profession, the law, and
was, up to year or two ago, the prose-
cutting attorney for his Judicial district.
In 1890 he was elected to the council, and
in 1894 was thus honored second time
by his people. Mr.. Ancheta is unmarried.
He is regarded as one of the brightest
men and orators in New Mexico and the
possibilities which open up before him
are enough to encourage to earnest eff
fort any seeker after fame. He had a
strong following in the Socorre conven-
ton for the Republican nomination as
delegate to congress, but in COM
mon with number of Others saw the
prize carried off By Mr.. 7. B. Catron.
Mr.. Ancheta's personal popularity,
coupled with his universally conceded
ability, gives every promise that his fut-
ure is full of hon ors.
