WOOL GROWERS MEET.
An Address by fien. Geo. II Wallace and csE-
mlttee Appoiated TO Draft Resolutions.

| In the city hall OF East Las Vegas at tbs
hour announced in previous issues Of THE
OPTIC, there assembled specially called
meeting Of the mcis bsrs of the New Mex
| leo Wool Growers association at which
were present number Of prominent people
from at home and abroad.
The object of the meeting was stated by
President NJ w. Browne TO be to take ac-
tion on proper and adequate legislation In
the Thirty second legislative assembly OF
New Mexico at present. In session, with a
view to the better protection of sheep grow
ers in this Territory.
Several letters from prominent flock
owners were read, expressive of their
views on what laws should be enacted to
benefit our principal industry.
Hon. George H. Wallace, OF Santa Fe,
the well-known and able champion OF our
wool interests, then delivered a lengthy
address to the convention, in which, among
other things, he said:
The wool growing industry should re-
ceive particular care and protection from
the people of the Tsrritor and our law
makers should enact snacisi legislation ir
its behalf, because it will increase and en-
hance the resources of this country, in
stead OF consuming and destroying them,
Natures laws were establiehed for this
very purpose, aud where sheep are
pastured the soil is compacted, giving the
grass roots better hold upon the ground,
and under there conditions, Gods sun
shine with the processes Of nature add to
the productiyeness; and, too, the moisture
is conserved, rapid evaporation ID prevent.
ed and the number of sheep which may be
kept is thus increased.
| The industry should be favored, because
| it begets habits of industry and economy
| among the people. Ii Is not a speculation,
but csrtain, sure source of income, the
| blizzards affording almost the only hazard
or rlsk, and although the returns are
small it makes US independent, aud histo-
ry demonstrates, for real, permanent, en-
dur ng prosperity, in every age and every
cline, no other industry has ever equaled
| it.. To use a mining phrase: cit Is lead
| tn at can not be worked out"
Every drop of water in this country is
precious, and 1t is righ the law should d.
rect the manner Of its use, give the "ace-
quia" the right OF way and protect it with
| all he power of the state; but the amount
of land to be irrigated is small, a little
narrow ribbon, as compared with the bro ad
plains over which your sheep will pasture,

SENATOR LODGE has just completed his great historical work,
and it is now to be one of Scrbners leading features for 'oS, running
throughout the year. 1t was undertaken with two ideas in view:
a. To present the fight for American independence-not as a
dry history, but a vivid picture of a vital struggle, reproducing the
atmosphere and feeling of the time.
(2) To make clear the historical significance and proportion of the
events described, as they can now be dscened with the perspective of
years and with the aid of authoritative scholarship such as the author of
"The Life of Washington " brings to bear upon the work.
CAPTAIN MAHANS ARTICLES will authorhatvey complement
"The Story of the Revolution" They deal largely with the romantic
side of our sea fighting. In one paper he writes of Paul Jones and the
Bonhomme Richard. Another will tell about an unknown, and, what
Captain Mahan considers, unapprecated campaign in Lake Champaign
in 1875. For the latter he has some curious data. The whole series
will make a notable addition to the historic literature of our nation.
THE REVOLUTIONARY PIcTURES-For the first time all the modern art forces and
resources are to be brought to bear upon the Revolution There will bes several
