Deserved Words of Commentator.

The Argus is in receipt Of the printed
report of Governor Otero to the secre-
tary of the interior, outlining the prog
ress and condition of New Mexico for
the year just closed. 1t is a v%oluminous
document and treats of all the different
interests of the territory eXhaustively.
The Pecos valley, as usual, has liberal
mention. Its new railroad is commented
upon, the feeding industry, its produc-
ton of celery, it's sugar factory, are all
spoken of in terms that show the i'm
portance which IS attached to the ad-
vancement of the Pecos valley upon the
territory as a whole. Governor Otero
has Just returned to Santa Fe from a
visit to Washington, where he did some
good work for New Mexico. His official
life has been one of conscientious SER
vice for the good of the territory, and
his administration will be known as the
one under which New Mexico enjoyed
its greatest prosperity.

There is a great deal of gossip going
about concerning the appointment of
Superintendent of the territorial peniten-
tiary. However, the talk thai the posi-
ton has been offered to Mr.. John S.
Clark or to Councilman Fl. O. Bursum
has nc foundation in fact. There are
several candidates, whose names are
being considered by Governor Otero.
Captain Fred Bunker, of Dona Ana
county, is an applicant for appoint
ment, but it is not known at this time
what chances, if any, he stands for the
position. Governor Otero will move
cautiously and slowly in the matter
from all appearances. The place is an
important one and will be filled by the
governor, by and with the advice and
consent of the legislative council, when
the proper time arrives.

The house should speedily act on the
council bill introduced by Mr.. Catron
and passed by the council, providing fol-
the issue of bonds to the amount of
$685. 900 for the completion and furnish
ing of the beautiful new capitol build
ing now in curse of erection here. Gov
ernor Otero, in his message, voiced the
sentiment of the vast majority of the
good people of the territory by recon-
mending the passage of such a bill. The
memorial accompanying the bill gives
the most cogent and forcible reasons
for it's passage. The house will do well
by giving it's assent so that the bill may
become law at an early date and that
congress nay pass Senator Elkins' bill
validating the issue of these bonds nam
ed in the measure.

Judging from the actions of the diff
ferent state legislatures in which the
election of United States senators have
been and are being held, the sooner the
constitution is changed to allow the
election of senators by a direct vote of
the people the better. The intention of
the trainers of the constitution. in pro-
viding for the choice of senators by the
state legislatures, was to avoid any and
all attempts at corrupt methods, the
supposition being that a body of men,
such as would be elected to the legisla,
lures, would be beyond all temptations:
but times and men have changed.

New Mexico Historical Society.

The report of the Historical society of
New Mexico, for the two years ending
January Is. 1899, has been made to
Governor Otero and shows that the So
ciety has added many valuable articles
to the collection owned by it.
In the financial way the report makes
the following showing:
The Send legislative assembly made
an appropriation of 5000 per annum to
ward protecting, maintaining and aug
menting the collection of the society"
The sun realized from that appropria-
ton for the two years was $792, while
the expenditures for expenses connected
with the society were Ss56.25 leaving a
deficit in the treasury of the society of
SOAPS and the suggestion is made:
"If the legislature would appropriate
$1,000 per year instead of 5000, it would
provide a small fund from which pur-
chaSes could be made when especially
desirable articles or books are obtain
able. The value of such articles is far
more than their cost, and especially so
to the territory with which they are
directly connected. A few hundred
dollars iudiciously expended now will
obtain what will cost thousands in a
few years"

Secretary Miller's Report,
Albuquerque Journal-Democrat

NAiouuuciHuo
Attention is called to the se~cretary's
report of the work and results of the
bureau of immigration, printed in full
in this issue. 1t is gratifying to note
the interest that has been taken of late
in this territory. and it is undoubtedly
true that very many of the inquiries
received during the past half year not
only by the bureau, but also by every
newspaper in the the territory, have
been prompted by the literature dis
tributed through great expositions and
other sources by the bureau. A notable
feature Is the number of colonies that
have been investigating through their
agents the resources of the country.
The establishment of one strong colony
in the territory would repay the cost Of
maintaining the bureau for many years.
There never was a better time than at
present to advertise the advantages Of
this territory, and the efforts of the
bureau which are proving so successful,
should be seconded by every newspaper
and every individual In New Mexico.

freight men quit specializing as to how
much of her time they could safely

runners limited sagely at new blood, -
while the fossils said they'd seen

both men were had up on the carpet

seventeen minutes on the westbound
