A Committees REPORT.
Questions Relating 90 the Sheep In.
dustry For Presentation to tho
Legislature.

At the recent meeting OF the New
Mexico WOOL Growers association in
East Las Vegas, N. NJ, = special COM
mittes, appointed for the purpose,
made the following report:
To the Officers and Members Of the N. N.
W. G. Association:
Your COMMITTED, appointed at this
mornings session, to take into con-
sideration questions connected with
the industry, for presentation to the
legislature for legislation. have con-
sidered the subject, and beg leave to
report:
The irst and most important matter, In
cur estimation, is to have the sheep indus
try placed under the supervision. and In
tue care OF the sanitary board, saehh board
to be re~-organized by the appointment, ~
members of that board of men who are
thoroughly identified personally with the
sheep industry, and we Believe that, ow-
ing to the vast interests involved, the
sheep men are entitled to at least one
half, If not more, Of the members of such
board.
We would also recommend that the
coun v inspectors be placed under tho con-
troll OF this board, and that they be paid q
| stated salary, instead of fees, as heretofore.
No sheep should come into the Territory
from any of the surrounding states or
countries without a clean bill OF health
from the authorities OF such state or
country, or until after inspection by the
! officers Of the sanitary board.
For the protection of our industry, we
| believe the law should compel the dipping
| of all sheep oncs a year, and within sixty
| days after snearing, and further that all
| hocks, which have scab, should be dipped
twice a year, until pronounced clean by
the inspectors.
All sheep should be inspected before
shipment.
Scabby sheep should not be allowed to
| travel other than be ween the dipping watts
and ranch, under provisions to pe pre-
scribed by the saaitary bard, and penal.
ties should bs assessed for violations OF
this provision.
sheep marks should be restricted In use,
and be registered at the county seat OK the
county in which they are held.
We recommend to the legislature the
passage of a bounty law for the destruc-
ton Of wolves and other predatory ami
mails.
We also recommend the appointment OF
a committee of three, to lay these recon-
nendations before the legislature, ana TO
ask for their enactment into law.
We would further recommend that the
com mittee appointed to attend the legis-
lature, ask for the passage OF a joint reso-
luton to be sent to the ways and mean
committee at Washington, D. G.. demand
ing a specific, protective and effective
tariff on wool.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE II. WALLACE, chairman.
CHAs. ILFELD,
W. s. PRAGER,
JOSE L. MADRIL,
TOMAS G~ALLEGO-,
GEO. ARsOT, secretary.
Members Of committee.
Added to above: We believe the pro-
vision In the law for the punishment OF
persons holding or driving sheep without
4 proper title shouldb be made more severe
and effective than in the present law.

Memorial To The Legislature.

To the President and Council; Speaker and
House, of the Thirty-second Legislature q
the Territory ofNeaU Merico.
We, a committee appointed at q called
session of the New Mexico Wool Growers
Association, representing 10 our srganixa
ton, the wool growers and sheep breeders
If the Territory, have requested the honor
Of appearing before you at this time to
present, for your consideration, certain
needs Of our industry, with reference &
legislation, to the end that tbs welfare, the
prosperity, the content and the happiness
Of the people of the whole Territory may
be fostsred n lncressrd.
MUTATION IN NEW MEXICO.
We beiir We you will acknowledge thai
the situation 10 New Mexico, In its evsry
feature and condition, es well AZ the know
ledge. the habits and tho opportunities o.
our people, point to tho wool industry a
being the one best adapted In every respect.
for the Territory II has been asserted, and
we do not think it can 10 denied, thai
when the wool industry was progressing
and prosperous, the people Of the Territory
were rejoicisg In the comforts and welfare
of similar conditions.
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM WOOL GROWING
m SHEEP BREEDING.
We believe the w~ool-erowing industry
should receive particular care and protsc
tion from the people and tho legis-
lature Of the Territory, because 1t
would increase and enhance the
~our of the Territory, instead OF con
and destroying them. The fertility
OF the soil and Its productiveHess have al
ways been increased where sheep were
pastured. and its capacities for the produc
ton of wool and mutton rave multiplied
of being decreased. We would
particularly call your attention to the hts
fact that where sheep breeding aao
have been the principal In
OF any countries, the people OF
those countries have been celebrated for
their economy their thrift, their industry
and their sobriety, and whereas. the returns
from such industries rave been small, yet
among people. with such habits, the results
been prosperity, happiness and
content, and we believe the enduring vel
tsre OF our Territory will be more certain
y assured IL these industries be developed, /
brought to a high state OF perfection /
within the limits of our borders. To bring |
bout this result, 1t will be necessary to
lave unity OF action, siDgIeness OF purpose, |
good will ami help of al.
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
We recognize the fact that there are
many Of our fellow citizens other wise on
aged. and that such must nscsssarIly DO

A BOOK IN DEMAND.

The Damnation OF the Rev. Theron
Ware, by Harold Frederic, is book
greatly in demand just now, and in
deed 1t is a strongly written and inter.
esting story, quite out of the ordinary
way. One might Imagine from thu
title that it would deal with religious
convictions and struggles, something
after the name of Robert Ellsmere
and kindred novels, but tho Rev.
Theron does not seem to be much wor
ried by scruples or struggles OF any
kind and rushes on TO the destruction
OF his purer and more noble manhood
in an eager and egotistical way. His
damnation seems to come from his own
%incllnations and to meet with yer,
little opposition from within, while
without he is sleek and, prosperous.
The most remarkable character 10
the book is Mrs. Soulsby. revivalist and
debt-raiser, for years an actress and
adventures, and the story Of her life.
as told to Ware, and the description of
the Methodist conference are dramatic
and powerful.
One is left in doubt at the end as to
whether the reverend gentleman comes
out OF bis troubles and reaches q higher
level or whether bis damnation con
tinues. AT any rate, he leaves the
ministry and accompanied by bis long
suffering, little wife, starts for the far
west where be is to engage in the real
business and where be anticipates
political distinction as the one thing he
h sure be can do 10 to stalk."

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE.

The 18th Anniversary Of the Associa-
ton Made Brilliant Social Event.
Muth's beautiful garden presented a
| brilliant scene last night. The occa-
sion of all this display of brilliancy
was the celebration of the seventy
eighth anniversary of the organization
of the Independent Oorder of Odd Fell
lows by the local lodges of that fra
ternity in conjunction with the Re
bekas, the ladies' auxiliary.
The garden was lighted with vari-
colored ,incandescent lights and hand
somely decorated throughout, three gold
links, emblematic the symbol of the or
der being placed directly over the main
entrance. The music stand, from which
the various exercises of the evening
were conducted, was also covered with
symbols and a large Texas flag, con-
structed entirely of roses, over hung
the heads of the speakers and the let
tiers l. o. o. F. in gold ranged across
the front of the stand.
An interesting program of music
and Rotations, interspersed with short
speeches, occupied the evening from
$50 until 10 o'clock when Prof. Muth's
orchestra struck up the music for the
first number of the dance program,
which was a waltz. the usual grand
march being omitted. From this time
on until 3 o'clock this morning the gay
celebrants laid all worldly cares aside
and spent the evening in tripping over
the CLASSY surface of the large dane
ing hall, only ceasing at intervals to
partake of the delicious repast of ice
cream and cakes which was served
throughout the evening, this being pro-
vided by the ladies, who deserve much
credit and commendation for same,
furnishing as they did bounteous sup
plies of the dainty delicacies for all
with plenty to spare.
The large garden and pavilion was
crowded to overlooking and the esti-
mate of the attendance on the occasion
was placed at over, 300, all of whom
thoroughly enjoyed the delightful af-
fair and who will entertain many
pleasant memories of the Odd Fellows
and their grand celebration.
Special Police Officer PEASANT and lady
were in charge of the cloak room and
discharged their duties in a courteous
and pleasing manner.
Street cars of the San Antonio Street
Railway company were waiting to
bring the gentlemen and ladies back
to the city at the close of the affair
and accommodatingly took their pas
sengers on any line they wished to go
except the Cemetery and South
Heights lines.

DISORDERLY HUSBAND.

Albin Unger was arrested yesterday
by Mounted officer Brown on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly
and was before the recorder to answer
to the charge this morning.
Testimony showed that he had drank
considerably and upon going home his
wife reprimanded him which angered
him and he began to raise a row and
broke up several dishes.
Mrs. Schneider,a neighbor, went over
to see what the row was about and
her husband says Unger told her
go home or he would give her some of
it too.
Unger's wife said they had only been
married three weeks and the recorder
asked how many times her husband
had been drunk in that time to which
she replied that she did not know, but
that he never abused her, only becom-
ing bOisterOus and noisy. Unger said
that if he did get drunk he did not
pay for it himself but that his friends
set 'em up" as he expressed it and
that she ought not to complain If he
did not spend his own money for 1t.
! The recorder dismissed him with
caution to not appear before him or
the same charge again.
