Snowfall Bulletin.

United Safes Department Of Agriculture,
Weather Bureau, New Mexico Section, Santa
Fe, N. M. April 49, 19O0-During the month
Of March there was comparatively very little
snow fell In New Mexico, and that reported in
the preceding bulletin as lying on the ground
on the 2sth of February had almost all gone by
the end Of March without materially increasing
the flow Of the New Mexico streams, and the
rivera, excepting the Rio GraRde, and no pres
pect Of continuous supply from tho mountain
sources. The storm Of April 8, Z and 8, however
was general, bringing rain and snow on the
mountains of northern New Mexico and Of
Colorado, which fer the present entirely changes
the water prospect, especially for our local
streams. Reports show that on the higher
mountains in northern counties there was q
deposit Of from 10 to 20 inches Of snow, and on
the lower attitudes and on plains from 8 TO 10
inches. The latter. however, melted rapidly %
It fell and soon disappeared, but in connection
with the steady contribution which can be
expected from the mountain sources practically
insures fair supply for sOTue time to come. A.
there is ~ absence Of the heual hafdpRcked
drifts in the mountaina there is q likelihood Of
Of this source Of supply being exhausted in a few
weeks, but II augmented by the normal protec-
tibn Of this season Of the year it is thought that
the water flow will be fairly sufficient until
the summer rains begin.-R n. Hardinge,

The Democratic territorial convention
held forth at Albuquerque Friday,
April l3, to large crowds--ful reprosen-
tation from all Of the coantiea and en-
thusiasm for the party prevailing.
While every sounty was represented,
the fact should be explained that Mayor
Sloan Of Santa Fe wac the proxy dele
gate from Valencia county, that be-
nighted bailiwick possessing 80 few
Democrats that what there are seusibly
remain at home al the time to keep the
Republicans from swipihg the organiza-
tion. Valencia needs reformation.
The convention was a harmonious, dig
nified and representative body, attesting
the encouraging condition Of the De-
mocracy Of New Mexico. Attendance
at the convention was increased by the
fact that William ]. Bryan would be
present on Saturday. and on that day
the silve: champion was greeted by
audiences of admirers numbering well
up in the thousands, at least five thou
sand people listening to his magnificent
speech Saturday afternoon.
The delegates to the Kansas City con
vention were instructed to vote for the
nomination Of Mr. Bryan. The platform
reafiirms the Chicago platform Of 1885,
and fasors statehood for New Mexico

The New York SUI oizErnoaut=dNta describes
the adventures Of hock Of New Mexico sheep as
folloWs; "a shepherd Of Valencia county, N.
NJ, heTding a flock OF wethera en- a range
remots from tho home camp, had the mistor-
tune to lose his dog and to break his own leg
through the attack Of mountain lion Had
the dog been alive he could have sent him to
the home ranch to summon assistsance. As It
w6s he had to see the sheep wander away, while
he dragged himself to the place whore his
provisions we're stored HHd waited for such help
as ohaaoe might bring him. Five days later
the sheep, led by the corporal goats, appeared
at the home ranch eighty miles away. They
had crossed tive mountain ranges BY paths Of
their own finding and out Of a flock Of 1900
sheep, only sgven were missing. There was, Of
course much good luck in this for dash OF
timber wolves among them would not only
have meant tho killing Of many sheep on the
spot. but would have scattered the rest Of the
flock far and wide. The marvel was tho in
tslligenoe Of the goats in returning By an
unfamiliar path to the place %hSfe thsy had
been bred and the implicit faith Of the sheep in
their leadership. OF coure the arrival Of the
sheep at the home ranch led to the sending
out Of searching party for the ahehhetd' He
was brought in on a litter right bstWeen two
donkoys, and. though his injury had become
very painful through neglect, proper surgical
treatment brought him arOnud all right"
