CHA FOREST RESERVE.
Sheep Owners Will Ask to Have It Re-
dnnad.

Hon. Solomon Luna, chairman of the
sheep sanitary board, and one of the
most extensive sheep raisers in the ter
ritory, is in the city from Los Lunas on
a visit to his mother and sister. Mr..
Luna, who is one of the best posted and
most successful men In the sheep-rais-
ing business, states that in western So
zorro county, where his flocks are now.
grazing, there is good grass and consid-
cradle water, and all kinds of stock IN
that section are in good condition. The
settlers and ranchmen whereabouts are
very much, exercised over the establish
ment of the ella river forest reserve by
the government, believing that the res
serve is much more extensive than 1T
need be, and contains much land more
valuable for agricultural and mineral
purposes thar 1t should. While the peo-
Pile and settlers there are not opposed
to a reserve Of the proper dimensions,
they all feel and believe that the reser-
walton is entirely too large, and for the
public good ought to be diminished. Mr..
Luna has been called upon by many
settlers asking his aid in the matter,
and proposes to go to Washington,
when congress assemblies, for the pur-
pose Of calling upon the secretary of the
interior to have the matter fully inves-
tigated and the reserve cut down to the
proper limits.

lowing proclamation:
The laws of the United States of Amer
lea designate the first Monday in Sep

relations so essential to our welfare and
happiness as q community.

4th day OF September, In the year One
Thousand, Eight Hundred and Ninety
nine, a legal holiday, and earnestly re-
commend that all business, of whatever
nature, except such as the necessities Of
the community require to be carried on,

ner as may to them seem best and fitting

HORTICULTURAL MEETING.
Preparing for the Annual Fair of the Ter
%ritorial Society,

The Horticultural society held a meet
ing last evening with President Prince
in the chair, and Hon. j. d. Sena as sec
rotary. The president reported that the
new premium list was in press and would
be ready in a day or two. The list con-
tains many more premiums than ever
before, the classes of flowers, vegetables
and preserves added last year being re-
tanned, and an entire new class, that OF
horticulture photographs as suggested
by Colonel R. E. T%witchell, being added.
Several of the fruit lists have been ex-
tended, also.
The cash premiums now amount to
about $500. This sun has to be obtained
entirely from those interested in horti-
culture and those periodically DESTROYS
| that the excellence of our fruit products
| should be known abroad.
A very lively argument arose at the
meeting over the location of the fair and
the introduction of features not strictly
horticultural. DR.. Harroun and Captain
| Day, of the committee on this subject,
reported in favor of holding the fair in
the westerly rooms of the army head
quarters building on Palace avenue.
Hon. j. d. Sena argued in favor OF com
bining some popular games OF baseball,
tennis, ETC., with the horticultural ex-
hibition in order to attract large crowds.
Considerable discussion ensued in which
Hon. J. P. Victory, Hon. Sol. Spiegel,
berg, Judge Laughlin, Mr.. Dettelbach
and others took part, and a decision on
the subject was finally postponed for a
week in order to obtain more definite
Information.
1t TRANSFERRED that the Christian Broth
ers had kindly consented to give the use
of their grounds for the fair and games,
and that a large tent for exhibition pur'
poses could be obtained from Pueblo a.
moderate expense. Those opposed tt
the innovation argued that the fail
would be liable to lose its high character
as q territorial exhibition and degenerate
into a mere aggregation of sports.
Max Pracht, of the Oregon Horticul
tural society, who was present by invita-
ton, made some interesting remarks ant
subscribed IS toward the expense funt
as an evidence of his interest.
The president reported that the Colo
RADIO nurseries at Loveland had Offered
a special premium for the best collection
of peaches.
Very encouraging reports have beef
received as to important exhibits to b.
expected from San Juan and Cola!
counties and also from the Pecos vale.
and the newly opened regions in Oter'
county.
The meeting adjourned to next Mon
day evening at the same place.
Those having good fruit now SHOULD
not fail to have it preserved in jars TO
exhibition, and this is also the time tt
obtain photographs of bearing trees TO
the fair.

SHEEP SANITARY BOARD.
United States Regulations in Regard to
Dining.


The sheep sanitary board, at it's last
session in Las Vegas, decided to enforce
the regulations Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture as follows:
From and after August 10, 1899, no
sheep which have been in contact with
lowed shipment from one state or terri
tory to another, or from any state into
the District of Columbia, or from the
district into any state, unless said sheep
shall have first been dipped in a mixture
approved by this department. The dips
now approved are:
1. The tobacco and sulphur dip, made
with sufficient extract of tobacco to
give a mixture not containing less than
5-100ths of l per cent Of nicotine and
per CEN flowers of sulphur.
2. The lime and sulphur dip, made
with s pounds of unslaked lime and "a
pounds of flowers Of sulphur to 100 gal
Ions of water. The lime and sulphur
should be boiled together for not less
than two hours, and all sediment al
lowed to subside before the liquid Is
placed in the. dipping vat.
The owner of the sheep is privileged to
choose which one of the above men,
| toned dips shall be used for his ami
mails. The department will instruct in.
/ spectors to enforce due care in dipping
| sheep, but it assumes no responsibility
| for loss or damage to such animals, ant
persons who wish to avoid any risks
| that may be incident to dipping at the
| stock yards should see that their sheer
are free from disease before they are
| shipped to market.
The board intends to enforce the
| above law, and will see to it that any
one violating its provisions Is heavily
fined.

CLERK IN TREASURER'S OFFICE.
Mr.. Robert O. Wagner Succeeds Mr.. Oeles
tino Ortiz As Clerk.

Mr.. Celestino Ortiz to-day resigned
his position as clerk in the office of the
territorial treasurer and was succeeded
by Mr.. Robert c. Wagner, who took
CHARGE of the position this afternoon.
Mr.. Wagner was born at Meran, Sax
ony, Germany, in 1858. He came to this
country twenty years ago, and at once
went to work as bookkeeper for a local
firm. He has held commercial positions
of trust ever since, except during the
last six years, when he was employed
in the Office Of the surveyor general in
this city. Mr.. Wagner is an efficient
bookkeeper, and will undoubtedly fill
his new position with credit to himself
and to the territory. Mr.. Ortiz, the re-
firing clerk, has held the position Of
clerk in the territorial t~reasurer's office
for many years under several %treasur-
ers. He was an efficient, trusted and
honored official, and his many friends
regret that it became necessary for him
to resign his position.

Although nearly all the fruit in the
Santa Fe valley was killed by frost and

This man and one other called at the
Lusk ranch, twenty miles from Carls-
bad, to secure horses left on the range
several months ago, which had been
stolen in Arizona. While the couple
were there, by previous arrangements
with a ranchman, a courier was sent to
notify Sheriff Stewart that claimants
for the horses had come. The sheriff,
accompanied by J. D. Cantrell and Ru-
fus Thomas, by a night ride reached
the place, and at daylight saw n of
the outlaws enter a tent for breakfast.
The other man remained at a dry camp
half a mile distant. The hidden posse
grew tired of waiting for him to come to
the ranch tent, and started to capture
the one at breakfast. They ran up
against a wire fence, however, and
made so much noise that the out
law was alarmed and made a dash
to his horse, having left his rifle
on the saddle. The hunted man
| shot Deputy Thomas in the shoulder
| with a revolver, and wounded Ranch
man Lusk, who had betrayed them,
| slightly in the wrist. Sheriff Stewart
fired a shot that grazed the skull of the
combatant and stunned him, SO that he
was captured and disarmed. He, how
ever, struck the sheriff and sought te
grab a revolver from one of the posse.
The other one of the fugitives watch
ed the fight from afar, then rode away
in haste. A posse is trailing him.
The pony ridden by the captured out
law is branded BID connected. The
brand is given by Andy Jones, Of Ster-
ling, Tex. The saddle is marked S H N
on the seat, and is supposed to be owned
by Sam Murray, of Ozona, Tex. The
arms used by the outlaw are a S0.4(
