Denver and Santa Fe Weather.

Heavy SHOWS are falling this month
in Colorado. In Denver Wednesday the
street railways had to keep plows run
ming because even where cars passed
every five minutes the tracks could not
be kept clear without the aid of plows,
SO fast did the snow fall. The precipi-
tation extends into the mountains of
northern New Mexico, but Santa Fe has
not had a touch of the storm OF this
week..
Tuesday and Wednesday the mercury
dropped to zero at Denver, while al
Santa Fe the minimum was 26 above
zero Tuesday, 20 Wednesday and 81
Thursday. When Santa Fe does get a
cold day it is IA to 20 degrees colder at
Denver, while THAT city often has zero
weather, while here the weather is
pleasant. So far this winter ice has not
formed here that could be used for cut
ting and storage.

TO uept agrl. by many coisluereu an
Oyeresttmate.
The Argentine has four times as
many sheep as the United States,
though of a vastly lower grade. She
exports two to three times as much
wool as the United States imports.
Only s to 16 per cent of our wool i'm
ports NOW co,me from Argentina direct,
and an unknown quantity via Europe.
Without materially decreasing her ex-
ports to England and Europe, that
South American country could vastly
increase its shipments of wool direct to
the United States.
There is also an enormous export of
sheep skins (pelts) from Argentine. 80
per cent of their weight consisting of
the unwtaished wool thereon. AS the
pending treaty provides for a 20 per
cent cut in duties on hides from Argen-
tina, pelts would come in at this re-
duced rate. Thoroughbred rams from
Vermont, New York. Wisconsin and
England have been Imported into Ar
gentina in increasing numbers of late
years to improve the flocks and enhance
the weight and value of the clip.
Argentina officials are keenly alive to
the agricultural possibilities of the
country, and have a well-organized col
onial bureau to- stimulate immigration
of agricultural classes. In '95, only 6
per cent of the total area suitable for
cultivation was under the pillow. The
population of Argentina in 1895 was
1856. 900. or at the rate of 90 per square
mile of territory. In 1897 the immi-
grants were 72,97S, chiefly Italians and
Spaniards. In the twenty-five years,
1881, total arrivals of immigrants
numbered 2,063, 900.

Wool Growers Happy.

Wyoming wool growers are holding
their wool clips for 20 cents per pound.
This fact was ascertained by an eastern
wool buyer just returned from a trip
over the state. He says some few sheep
men have contracted their spring clip
for 10 and 20 cents, but the majority be-
lieve wool will advance to 20 and even 25
cents per pound, and will not make any
contracts for q cent less. A majority
who have been asked regarding the mat
ter say the fleeces this year will be
heavier by n or two pounds than they
have been heretofore.
This Is accounted for by the fact that
owners have been breeding a better
grade Of wool producing sheep the past
two years. 1t 10 expected that the wool
clip OF the state this spring will placs
Wyoming second to Montana only in the
wool producing states OF the Union.

The senate financial bill has been
passed by that body, and if Colonel
Bryan and his followers are as sure of
the public reproving the Republican
party as the Republicans in congress
are of approval, then both Sides should
be pleased. The bin passed by the
house Is not Identical with the one
which was yesterday passed in the SEN
ate, but as the differences are only up
on minor points a conference will result
in "a compromise measure which will be
passed by both houses without much
delay, for the majority are not afraid
TO meet the financial issue and fix for
a few years ait least a financial law for
the country.

struggle to accumulate in this worlds

town to obtain a splendid example. Our
business men with probably two *

care to lose him. He vas no pauper; he
had health and ambition; he is a strong
advocate of statehood. The poor (fnan-
cially) immigration to this territory is
what has developed it. No man Of
progress Is opposed to immigration.
Why, the little opposition to state
hood is devoid of arguments. While 1t
is yet uncertain whether congress will
pass an enabling act for New Mexico
the people stand ready at amy time to
vote her into statehood under a fair
constitution.

NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
(AlbuauerQue Citizen.)

The Pueblo Indians north of this city
have no possible cause of complaint
against the lOw-line ditch company.
The land through the little reservation
was condemned by due process of law,
and the money for the land for right Of
way for the ditch-about forty-seven
acres-was paid into the court for the
Indians. The land condemned was ut
terly worthless without the ditch, n
no INJURY has been done the little tribe.
But for the bad advice these ndian
have received from the politicians these
Indians would have given the right of
way through their lands. The building
of the ditch will be "a benefit to the
tribe If they will use a little energy in
%cultivating their lands. Soon they will
have all their lands under ditch at no
expense to them, and they can use the
water or not, as they see fit.

In the last three months $50 soldiers
have been sent from the Philippines to
San Francisco as insane men. Their
condition was caused by the continued
use of native wine. Perhaps the use of
this Stilnulant is what made Aguinaldo
a madmGan. The drink must be similar
to what is known in this country as
''sheepherder's delight" which has sent

Savage Crabs.

The most savage specimen Of the
crab species Is found In Japan, seeming
to dream Of nothing but fighting-to
delight in nothing half so much. The
minute he spies another of his kind he
scrapes his claws together In rage,
challenging him to the combat. Not a
moment is wasted in preliminaries, but
at 1t they go, hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells. The sand flies
as the warriors push each other hither
and thither until at last one Of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired
to death.
But he does not beg for mercy or at
tempt to run away only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance OF the
foe. That foe comes closer, and, with
his claws trembling with joy at his vic
tory, the conqueror catches hold of one
claw of the vanqulshed crab, twists it
until ID comes off, and bears away the
palpitating limb as trophy of his
prowess. Such Is a battle between
warrior crabs.

broken Commandments.

The brilliant young preacher, when
he makes his parochial calls, endeav-
ors to cultivate an acquaintance with
the development of the younger minds,
thus after fashion keeping tab upon
his Sunday school teachers.
The other afternoon, while he was
waiting in the drawing room of beau
tiful Cass avenue residence for the de-
layed appearance Of Elsie's mamma,
he was entertained by the little daugh-
ter herself. Taking her upon his lap,
he began review of the church les
sons that had been given to the little
maid of 5.
Can you tell me, Elsie, how many
commandments there areW
Eyes, sir; seven or eight"
"Oh, no, dear; there are ten"
Eyes, | know there used to be, but l
heard papa tell mamma yesterday that
you had broken two or three of them
at least, and that would leave only
