A story illustrating the retlcenos OF
the Scotch regarding their private af-
fairs was told by Ian Maclaren when In
Boston. A train was at a railroad sta
ton, when porter put his head into
a car and called out: Amy one in this
car for Doun2 Change for Doun? ANY
one for Doun?" No one moved and in
few minutes the train was speeding
along, not to stop again for nearly an
hour. Then an old seotchwomah
turned to lady sitting near her, anu
said: I'm for Doun, but I'd no tell

The Demand for Laborers.

Abe Gold received a telegram this
noon from the contractors al La Veta
pass, urging him to rush a car load of
laborers to La Veta Tomorrow fore
noon. He is hunting the town over this
afternoon for idle men who want work,
but finds few
Several hundred men have gone from
Santa Fe and other parts of New Mex
leo to work on the railway at La Veta
pass. President jeffrey says the Rio
Grande is expanding ST., 100000 on i'm
provements. This includes 81 miles of
new standard gauge road over La Veta
pass and the conversion of "a miles of
narrow gauge into standard gauge.
This will give the Rio Grande a stand
ard gauge into Alamosa, from which
point the standard gauging of all the
San Juan lines will be pushed in the
future. The Denver papers say that
within a month 5000 men will be en-
ployed in railway construction within a
radius of 300 miles of Denver. In
southern New Mexico there is still a
call for laborers on the FL Paso &
Northeastern and at the coal mines at
Salado, while town building and gold
and copper mining also demand more
men than can be had.

MADR0NA AND MANZANITA.
Description of the Habits and Appearance
of These Trees.

The New Mexican stated the other
zanita trees had been received here
through the agency of Mr.. Max Pracht
from Oregon. An effort will be made to
n~aturalize these plants, and they may
become useful and ornamental. Mr..
Pracht, talking of madrona and manza-
nita, says: The madrona, sometimes
known as the mountain laurel, is an
evergreen tree, which grows to great
size in the Rogue river valley, IL single
specimen in my peach orchard at Ash
land having measured A feet across the
stump where it had been cut off by
early settlers, who used the wood for
making furniture. The first piano made
on the Pacific coast, for James Lick, of
the Lick house, of San Francisco, was
built Of this mountain laurel. 1t is a
wood as hard as mahogany, takes an
what darker. Around the stump Of this
tree there have grown up II sprouts,
varying now from 6 to IL inches in d.
ameter, making a most beautiful tree,
with a spread of over 40 feet, leaving an
afternoon tea snuggery inside of its
outcurving branches, about s feet in
diameter, not more than 4 feet from the
ground.
THE foliage of the madrona is an in
tense and glistening green, resembling
somewhat that of the magnolia on the
upper side of the leaf, shaded toaa rich
sage green underneath. In the spring
the new growth of last year puts out
m~ultitudinous sprays of beautiful wax
EN- white blossoms, the shape being
much like that of the wistaria. These
become in November clusters of brill
liant scarlet berries, which contrast
wonderfully with the dark green of the
leaves and furnish food for great flocks
of robins. The chief popularity of the
tree, however, is it's bark or skin. In the
springtime it is in color a delicate
greenish yellow, and feels velvety and
firm like the stem of a fresh mushroom.
1t soon turns to a dark shining red,
with the touch of cordova leather,
| which again, as winter approaches,
turns to a dark brown, is burst asun-
| der by the expansion of the tree and
falls off in great flakes during the win
ter, exposing the velvet of the new in
tegument of the following year The
madrona is a hard tree to remove from
it's chosen habitat. | have tried moving
and transplanting small saplings of
from / to A inches in diameter, nursed
them carefully, but lost them; some the
| first, the rest the second year after
transplanting.
"To propagate them in this latitude,
I would advise securing the seeds.
There are places in New Mexico where
I think the madrona would flourish. 1t
prefers a loose, gravelly or decomposed
granite soil, and not too much rain.
The average rainfall of the Rogue river
valley is 20 inches, and this is distrib-
uted over about nine months, beginning

to June showers, sometimes Il in Ju

to June showers, sometimes one in Ju-
ly, generally about the glorious Fourth,
especially if we have a parade and cell
ebration.
The manzanita is a shrub which
grows to about the height and dimen-
sions of the scrub cedar of the mesas.
1t has small ovoid leaves of two beau
tiful shades of sage green. The wood is
a bright claret color, the bark or skin
a dull red, and fits the wood like a
glove. The tree branches out very close
to the ground, and forces a dense err
ratio growth of branches. These are
much sought after for walking sticks,
but l have yet to see one 8 feet in length
that was reasonably straight. Its ex-
istence is crooked but beneficent, grow
ing rapidly and being not too particular
as to soil, as is the case with the ma
drona. 1t loves it's own species, and
shelter. In the spring it puts forth a
p%rofusion of small white and fragrant
blossoms, which produce a berry not
quite as large, nor so hard, as a pepper
corn, and furnishes food for great
bands of quail, grouse, cartridges and
other birds, well through the winter.
I'm my opinion the manzanita could
be easily domesticated in New Mexico.
The seeds, if planted in the waste
ground usually found between the
sparse and scattered pinon cedar, juni-
per and scrub oak of the mountain
slopes and mesas, would, I think, grow
and soon spread over the open ground,
shading the same so that the moisture
will be retained much better than by
the agency of tall trees, thus stimulate
ing other growths, and, better than all,
furnish ample feed for game and birds.
II have met with individual n
nita bushes or trees that were IL feet
high, with an equal spread, and the
main trunk or body 6 and even s inches
in diameter. 1t makes excellent fire
wood, and does not require seasoning
before using"

A. Walker g. Co. this morning sent
several wagons loaded with merchandise
to the Pecos.
II. b. Cartwright & Bro. make IA neat
and attractive window display of fruit
preserves and Condiments.
For the first time in almost IL year the
train connecting with the flyer north
ward bound left Santa Fe last evening
without a single passenger.
The Santa Fe Simpsons and the Col
lego Up-to-Date-Br Browns crossed bats on
the college campus yesterday. Score,
II to 10 in favor of the latter, Many
struck out owing to the efficiency of the
twirlers. Brother Butolph donated IL
league ball to his victorious proteges.
Manuel b. Salazar has withdrawn the
contest which he filed against Sol.
Spiegelberg for the position of member
of the council from the fourth ward. He
concluded that Mr.. Spiegelberg had re-
ceived a plurality of votes over him and
it was best to withdraw. He thinks
honesty in politics is the best policy.
A part of the plaza presented a very
pretty sight this morning. The water
from the hose used for sprinkling the
grass had been allowed to run all night
and the grass at one place was covered
with ice crystals. Tho spray also
reached the top of a tree and a limb was
bowed to the ground with the weight of
icicles that glistened in the morning
sun like so many pendant diamonds.
A novelty in trousers guards and BIZ
cycle lock has been put on sale by w.
H. Goebel. One of the guards serves as
a bicycle lock, and the other as a key.
The frost last night nipped some
cherry, peach and apricot blossoms in
orchards in exposed parts Of the city.
At Antonito the frost was much heav-
ier han at Santa Fe.
Jacob Weltmer has several almond
trees in fun bloom. They are literally
covered with pink blossoms, and are a
very pretty sight.
W. Fl. Goebel yesterday found a large
piece of copper at the bottom of a 12-
foot well on his property on Galisteo
street. The chunk weighs about 20
pounds, and looks as if it had just come
out of a smelter.

Bound for Alamogordo.

Today D. B. Wolfe and family, with
an employee with a family, a party of
eight altogether, passed through Santa
Fe with four teams. They are en- route
to A%lamogordo from the San Luis valley,
and will use the teams on railway work.
Mr.. Wolfe is a brick mason and will find
work in Alamogordo. He expects to
secure a homestead in that vicinity.
He says the San Luis valley is a good
country, but there is more activity in
Alamogordo, while he prefers the lower
altitude and climate OF southern New
Mexico to those of the Ute reservation.
He became interested in the Alamo
gordo country through reading news
papers. He expects several Colorado
families to follow him.

Who Wants the Bad Man?

Chuck Cassidy, posing as a bad man
who has kept the authorities of New
Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah
on the alert for several years vas in
Rock Springs, Wyoming, last week. He
said he had been in New Mexico
for the past year. "The climate" as he
expressed it twas getting too hot for
comfort" and he went north. He was
in Rock Springs only an hour or two,
departing with several companions for
the north. 1t is believed his destination
is the ''hole in the wall" country, of
central Wyoming, or the British posses
sions, both places being a haven for
fugitiveS from Justice.
