TORNADOES are far more numerous
and more destructive this year than
they have been for a long time, and
they are sweeping over a wider area of
country. Cyclonic storms have ragged
from Texas to Michigan, and have been
accompanied by appalling loss of life
and vast destruction of property. One
Of the blessings Of life IN a mountain
Gus country, like New Mexico, is the
security afforded by the hills. They
break the terrific force of the winds
and shield the inhabitants from the
danger which is eve present on the
prairies. Las Vegas occasionally ex-
periences a fierce gust Of wind, ike
the storms which swept over the city
last Saturday, but the high hills which
stand guard In every direction prevent
such destruction as is reported from
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan and
other states. In addition to tho un-
usual prevalence of cyclonic storms,
there has been a remarkable fall of
rain. At this season of the year, the
Dakotas and Nebraska are usually suf-
fering from drought. but in these
states there has been so much rain that
it has prevented the sowing of spring
wheat. Last summer was an extraor-
.cinarily dry one. II looks as though
the earth were getting now the mois-
ture which was then withheld.

New Mexico's Only Cyclone.

Between 5 aud 6 O'Clock, Wednes-

small cyclone, which came across the
divide from the north and swept away
to the southwark. On the divide 1t
separated, one volume of it sweeping
into the valley OF the North Percha
and unroofing the old Richardson
house, occupied by John GLEASON and
family, and tearing the cover
ing off the kitchen Of the res
ldence Of jeff Hirsch; the other
volume tore through the eastern
part of town, uprooting a couple Of
large cottonwoods near l.. Tressell's
place. throwing the roof off Duran's
hall into the backyard, and partly de-.
molished the roof of one of the Mead
rooming houses, adjoining Lannon's
corral. There were several narrow
escapes of life and limb, but no per-
sonal injury to any enc. Old-timers
declare it was the first cyclone ever
occurring in these parts, to the best of
their recollection.

IT is estimated that 5000, 900 acres
OF forest land are cleared everrr year,
and that in ten years, previous to 1876,
10000, 900 acres were burned over
simply to clear the land. Ten years
ago, it was estimated that the timber
of New York was disappearing at the
rate of 80 $1,000 acres a year. Since
then laws have been passed which have
restrained, to some extent, the wood
mans ak, but it is still welded far too
freely. The forests are the natural
friends and protectors OF the earth and
man. They not only administer to the
esthetic parts of a mans nature by
stimulating and feeding his sense of
beauty, but they have also practical
uses and values which may o safely
be ignored. Some of the direct calam.
tiles that have befallen the countries of
the old world may be traced to the de-
struction of forests, aud many diseases
that swept away great multltudes of
human beings, and that were count
ed ''divine visitations," may doubtless
be traced to the same cause.

The San Bernardino, Cal, Times
Inder is Of opinion that the friendship
Of Senator Teller for New Mexico has
a string attached. 1t says that but for
the opposition Of the Colorado senator,
the admission OF this Territory as a state
would have been endorsed by the last
republican national convention. A bill
admitting the Territory passed the
house while The convention was in ses-
sion, and following the precedent es.
tablished by a previous convention in
the case of the Dakotas and Wyoming,
a resolution was presented to the plat
form committee favoring the passage
OF the New Mexico enabling act by the
senate. The Colorado senator, Mr..
Teller, opposed it and it was defeated.
These are facts we'll known to Con-
gressional Delegate Catron, M. A..
Otero, of Las Vegas, and other repre-
sentatives of New Mexico in the Mn
neapolis convention. Senator Teller's
friendship for New Mexico is about as
unreliable as his loyalty to the republi-
can party, says the California paper,
and If its delegates to St. Louis follow
the Colorado senator's lead, the Terri
tory can rightfally and logically expect
to serve another forty odi years Of pro-
baton before securing the rights and
privileges of statehood.
