words, "In memory of the victory of Manila Bay,
May, l, 1885," is the figure of a young sailor,
stripped to the waist, who sits upon gun, with the
flag across his knees, and one foot resting upon a
swinging loop of rope. In this beautiful figure Mr.
French has admirably embodied the genius of the

Observance of washingtOn's Birthday


A suggestion has been received in
writing from one Of our citizens, rela-
tive to the proper observation of Wash
ington's birthday. "Citizen" suggests
that the people Of Wellington should
meet in the town hall this evening and
listen to imprOmptu speeches by our own
people, and have singing appr Jpriate to
the occasion, have the church bells and
fire bell rung at 1880 p. M, and let the
people young and old assemble and thus
afford lesson to the young not easily
forgotten.
This suggestion is good one, its only
fault being that it was not offered in
time to permit of proper arrangements
being made and to forestall other things
which are slated to occur at the hall at
that time.
We regret that "citizen" had not spoken
much earlier.

Alamogordo's Progress.
The Municipal Prodigy New Mexico Growing Rapidly Under the

vim with which improvements are be-
ing pushed here has a fascination for
the stranger, and it is rare thing for
any one to visit the town and go away
without investing something Since the
New Mexican representative came here
three weeks ago three elegant two story
residences have sprung up, and a large
number of smaller ones have been par
TALLY erected. Each citizen seems to vie
with the other in the matter of improve
ment. For instance ], J.. O'Shea, mas
ter mechanic OF tie railroad, has shown
commendable enterprise by placing a
picket fence around his new home. In
consequence, Mr.. O'Shea is a popular
idol and bigger gun than the fellow
who wrote '"ra-ra-ra- boom de-a.' He
Is now mentioned for aldermanic hon
ors in the first ward, and he has sure

members of the Commercial club are
arranging to have a large club house

ment some time within the next two
weeks to provide nucleus fund for the

dences in the town. Fully 200 houses
have already been built by home seek
ers, and the Davidson Peck people are
the first to go in on an investment plan.
A fire brigade is being organized by
the citizens for the protection of the
many fine buildings. A complete sys-
TEN of water mains has been laid, the
water falling 800 feet ana giving an inn
mense pressure.
For household use and light irrigation
purposes plenty OF eG,sa Mater car be
secured at depths ranging from 40 to
100 feet. 1t costs 81 per foot to dig the
wells. Some sort of scheme is now being
agitated to furnish water for many
miles of country by forcing it from un-
derneath the ground by compressed air.
This plan is a possibility for large irri-
cation enterprises, and does not apply
to the needs of the country Immediately
surrounding Alamogordo. The city has
all the water necessary for every pur-
pose, and the water company is placing
in operation the best-known system for
handling that commodity.

AN ACTIVE CLUB.
The Commercial club is really one Of
the finest institutions of the kind in the
west, and it is surprising what potent
influence the members have in building
up the town. Every known scheme for
advancement and comfort is proposed.
Although some of the schemes are over
reaching in plan, majority show that
the members are thoroughly up-to-date
and that the best interests of the town
will be advanced. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that the feature Of selfshness Is
entirely eliminated from the club work.
ings. All matters taken up are for the
benefit of the whole community, and
are left open that newcomers may come
in on the ground floor. In this respect
Alamogordo is in advance of any other
New Mexico city, and even distances Ell
Paso. Colonel j. F. Harvey the hus-
Ting and genial manager Of the Hotel
Alamogordo, is president Of the club,
and the membership includes every live
business man in the town. To say that
the club is enterprising Is putting it
mildly. Everything from electric light
plants and churches (two are now being
built) down to gravel walks for prom
enaders and superior quality of air for
health seekers, is promoted by the club.
AS an evidence of the enterprise and in
genuity of the club members, it may be
well to mention that at the last meeting
the question of providing more shade
was brought up, and one of the MEM
bers suggested, in view Of the fact that
it will be two years before the park
trees are large enough to furnish shade,
it would be good idea to import few
umbrella trees from South Africa and
insure a large crop of umbrellas for
summer use. If the electric light ques-
tion We're not already settled, should

Three Powers of One Mind.

Washington, April 1.-THE secretary
of state, in conversation to-day said
that neither of the three powers to the
treaty Of Berlin scored victory in the
of the Samoan matter nor
suffered defeat. All three We're, he be-
lieved, actuated by the same desire to
reach peaceable, honorable solution.
The present state of things was not only
most regrettable this time, but likely,
if neglected, to go rapidly from bad to
worse. Bartlett Tripp, United States
on the Samoan commits
sion, telegraphed the department that
he would arrive at Washington to-
night. He will be thoroughly instructed,
and will start from Washington on the
18th inst. for San Francisco, to take
passage on the Badger for Apia.
