terest Of the city and territory. He
al twice president Of the Santa Fe
Board of Trade, was chairman Of the
commission to compile the laws in 1884,
compiled them in 1897, and is now serv-
ing his fifth term as solicitor general of
the territory.
His connection with the rebuilding
Of the capitol begun Immediately on the
passage of the act authorizing it's re-
construction, when he organized a citi-
zen's committee to furnish the means
for proceeding at once with the work in
carrying away the remains of the old
building in order that when the bonds
were sold there might be no delay in
commencing the reconstruction.
This committee obtained something
over $4,000 by subscriptions from our
citizens, which was expended in prepar-
ing the site for the new edifice. This
money was afterwards returned by the
capitol rebuilding board from the pro-
ceeds of bonds sold, but in the mean
time work was advanced at least three
months by reason of the action of the
committee. Since this time he has been
very much interested in the reconstruct
ton of the building, and has given as
sistance to the rebuilding board in ev-
cry way within his power.

MAGNIFICENT MONUMENTS.
Messrs. I H. and ". h. Rapp, Have Beer
Architects of Many Fine Buildings.

Sir Christopher Wren, the famous ar
chitect of st. Pauls Cathedral, in Lon
don, is quoted as saying: "If you seek
my monument, look around you.' OF
Messrs. l. H. and W. M. Rapp, the ar
chitects of the new capitol, it may like
wise be said that any one who seeks a
monument to their professional indus
try, zeal and intelligence have only to
look upon and through the magnificent
new building yesterday dedicated. From
the massive foundations to the pinnacle
Of the lofty dome each and every fea-
ture and proportion of the building
bears testimony to the artistic skill and
discrimination Of these gentlemen. AL
though originally residents of Chicago,
the Messrs. Rapp have been for a num-
Der of years residents of the territory,
and have been closely identified with
some Of its most important enterprises.
They belong to a family of architects,
the father of four sons, two being at
present actively engaged in the prac-
tice Of the profession. Among the public
buildings, other than the capitol, of
which they have been the architects,
are the New Mexico normal school, and
the territorial insane asylum, both at
Las Vegas, the new buildings for the
agricultural college at Las Cruces and
the court houses in Colfax and Union
counties. A large number of private
buildings and residences throughout the
territory also bear witness to their ar
tistic taste and professional skill,
the latter being the magnificent
Masonic temple in Las Vegas. The
splendid work accomplished by this
firm assures for 1t a continued increase
in public appreciation and patronage,
and constant accessions to what Is al
ready one of the largest clienteles in the

New Mexico As a Summer Resort.

Every veal at this time thousands,
yea millions, of people flock to the sea-
shore, to the mountains, to Europe, for
a change of scenery and a change or
climate. 1t is the only opportunity for
most people to learn something about
the rest of the world. It Is astonishing
to find the great number of people In
the east ignorant of thai portion OF
their own country west of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river. Many Of those who swelter at
eastern seashore resorts or among the
dusty mountain resorts should take a
little jaunt and come and see he glo-
rious west. Let them cross the Mlssls-
sippi and the Missouri. Let them gaze
upon the Rocky mountains and their
sublimity. Let them breathe the
wonderfully i~nvigorating air Of the
mountain plateaus of New Mexico. Let
those who think thai Italy, Switzerland
and Spain alone have atmosphere ana
sunshine behold for one the glory or
own land and learn that at Santa
Fe the air Is cooler in summer than at
Bar Harbor or at the Thousand Isles;
that Santa Fe skies rival those OF Ma
pies and Messina; that New Mexico
are as picturesque as the
Alps; that there is no other place
on the face of the earth where there is
more continual sunshine, a more invig-
Grating air, a more equable tempera-
ture, and less extremes in heat and
cold than are found right here at Santa

lived in the West Indies until 1867, en-
gagged in commercial pursuits. In 1867
he came to the United States, going to
California, and later to Arizona, where
he engaged in mining and prospecting,
from 1868 to 1870, with varied success.
His adventurous disposition took him
to Central and South America, where
he was busy in mining, and he also
managed a coffee plantation for a cou-
pie of years. He then took a trip to
Australia and the South Pacific islands
on a trading vessel, thus seeing a good
deal of the world and passing through
many strange and dangerous scenes
and adventures. Returning to New
York City, he remained there a few
months, going thence to Colorado,
where he lived until 1879, engaged in
mining and prospecting, settled in Sier-
ra county and engaged in ranohing,
s~tock-raising and mining. Since that
time he has been a valued citizen of
New Mexico. He was a member of the
3Oth legislative assembly, representing
Sierra and Socorro counties. He was
appointed a member of the capitol re-
building commission by Governor
Thornton and r%eappointed by Governor
Otero, and held that important office
until the present. He is still a resident
of Hillsboro, Sierra county, and has
large interests In s~tock-raising and
mining in that county, and other Sec
tons of New Mexico.

His father, Jose Antonio Manzanares,
was born on the old paternal ranch at
Nacimiento, Rio Arriba county, and
attained distinction as a man of affairs,
a member of both houses of the terri
torial legislature, and agent of the Ute
and Apaches Indians under the admin
istration of President Lincoln. Francis
co A. M~anZanares a afforded the best
educational advantages, attending
school in turn in St. Louis and New
York City, and having the benefit of
private tutors in special studies. He
began his business career at Kansas
City, where he was identified with a
wholesale grocery house for one year.,
and then went to New York City and
completed a course in a commercial
college. He was employed in a banking
establishment in the national metropo-
lis for a short time, when he returned

engaged in supplying merchandise at
it's several stopping places until Kit
Carson was reached. He continued the
same line of business along the line of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
way, which was in course of construc-
ton. In all his undertakings in the
mercantile line, L. P. Browne was his
business associate, and the firm of
Browne & Manzanares gained a most
enviable reputation throughout the
west. The house was permanently es-
tablished in Las Vegas in 1879, with a
branch in Socorro, and it's business has
grown to very large proportions. In
politics, Mr.. Manzanares has always
been a staunch Democrat, and as such
has served n term as delegate in con-
gress, but refused a second nomination
for the high Office because he felt that
he could not afford to neglect. his ex-
panding private business for the sake
Of political preferment. He has been
president Of the capitol rebuilding
board since it's organization, and his
experienced judgment and rare knowl-
edge Of affairs have been of great value
to the board.

Public Schools,

The e made in the past decade
in New Mexico in the cause of public
education Is a source Of great pride to
those who have the welfare Of the terri
tory at heart. The last annual report
Of the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton shows that illiteracy is decreas-
ing at a rapid rate, and that every
section of the commonwealth maintains
good public schools. 1t is true, there Is
still room for improvement, as there Is
in every other part Of the United States,
but the results thus far attained would
have been deemed impossible some
years g The schools of Santa Fee are
an illustration Of the advancement that
can be made in the short space of a
years time. Not so long ago it was
said that Santa Fe had no public school
system worthy of the name, and to-day
it will proudly compare with the public
school system of any other city of equal
size. The lengthening of the school
term and the employment only Of nor
NAL school graduates as teachers are
improvements still to be effected in the
rural districts, but they will come In far
shorter time than is now anticipated.

Sheep Industry In New Mexico.

This is a great year for New Mexico.
From all parts come gratifying reports
of the great increase in sheep and of
plentiful, water is abundant, and the
outlook for the present year Is GER
tainly most promising. From reports
received by this paper from every part
of the territory the following is the es-
innate of sheep in the several counties
in New Mexico and owned by its citi-
zens at this time: Rio Arriba, ESQ, 900
head; Union, $40, 900; Guadalupe, 400, 900;
Bernalillo, $50, 900; Chaves, 300, 900; So
zorro, 300. 900; Valencia, 275, 1000; San Mi
guel, 275,O 0 Eddy, 100000; Lincoln,
225, 900; Santa Fe, 200, 900; Mora, 200, 900;
Colfax, 200, 900; Taos, 15O, 1000; Otero, San
Juan, Dona Ana, Sierra and Grant
counties, from $4,000 to 100, 1000 each.
There is every eason to believe that
New Mexico to-day Is the first ranking
s~heep-raising commonwealth in the
United States. The number of sheep
within the territory will, Of course, be
somewhat decreased when sales COM
mence in September next, but 1t is GER
tain that at the end of this year the
number of sheep in New Mexico, de-
Quoting sales, killed for food and
losses, will be at least 4,50O, 900. These
are no longer of the common Mexican
variety, but improved, and some highly
improved, shearing on an average 5h
pounds of wool per head per annum, the
wool being worth at a low estimate 13
cents per pound on the spot. !

most attractive wild flowers we have.
The daisy family is we'll represented.
Along the Pecos river large white. pur-
pie and yellow daisies can be found.
The white daisy is prettiest, I think, as
it Is larger than the others, and grows
in such beautiful white clusters. We
have some growing in our garden, n
visitors very often mistake them for
the cultivated marguerite.
If 1 were to undertake to tell you all
about the flowers that grow on the
Pecos and in other parts of the terri
tory it would require a volume, so I
will only touch on the beauties and
merits of the wild flowers nearer home.

His father, Hon. Joseph G. Palen, who
served as chief justice of New Mexico
from 1859 to 1875, was a lawyer Of dis
tinguished ability and learning, and
naturally afforded his sou the best ed
ucational advantages. Circumstances
took the young man out to Romeo,
Michigan, in 1859, where he continued
his studies in the local academy for two
years. In 1861, he entered the classical
department of Michigan University,
and completed the freshman year.
Meanwhile he was seized with the pre-
vailing war fever and enlisted in a regi-
ment for three months, but by that
time the government realized that 1t
had a serious war on hand and de-
clined to accept any more three months
enlistments. In the early part Of the
Of 1862 the subject of this
went back to his home in New
York to spend his vacation, and In July
of that year entered the army as I'd
Of company G, 12Sth New
York volunteers, and served In that
regiment for n year. He was then
commissioned as major of one of the
regiments raised by General
Banks in Louisiana, and took part in |

of his profession, discharged the duties
of assistant United States attorney for

WILD FLOWERS OF SANTA Re.
A:Sohool Composition By Cassie Gross, 7th
Grade.

The Rocky mountains are noted for
their beautiful wild flowers. In some
Of their deep, dark ravines the loveliest
lilies and dubious flowers are found. The
tiger lily Is one of the most regal Of
this species. On the Pecos they grow
almost rank, and it is wonderful to see
them growing in dense masses on the
mountain side, where almost no W ,ter
can reach them. In the Santa Fe canon,
where it Is damp and wild, stately
ferns protrude their graceful heads. The
cardinal plant is another pretty flower
that thrives in the Santa Fe canon. 1t
Is of a bright red color, and Is a long
bell-shaped flower. 1t has no fragrance,
however. But this is not very singular,
as most of the wild flowers that grow
in the Rocky mountains are devoid of
fragrance. The wild syringa Is n of
the exceptions.
The wild dog-toothed violet IL greatly
sought for by botanists. About the first
flowers that greet one in the early
springtime are the modest little purple
