COMING BY SPECIAL
Visitors From All Parts Of the Ter
ritory Will Come to Santa
Fe On June 4.
PROCLAIMED A HOLIDAY
Las Vegas Will Send a'Large Delegation
Efforts to Run Special Trains From
Las Vegas and Albuquerque-Low
Railroad Rates.

The people of Las Vegas have most
heartily taken up the duty of co-opera-
ton with the people of Santa Fe to the
end that the capitol dedication ceremo-
MES shall be pronounced and glitter
ing success. A private letter from Lieu
tenant Colonel r. c. Rankin, New Mex
leo national guard, to Adjt. Gen. w. H.
Whteman, says that the citizens of Las
approaching event, and such a large
number from that city, from Mora and
Guadalupe counties have signified their
intention to come here on that occasion
that an effort is now being made to in
duce Superintendent Hurley to order a
special train run from Las Vegas to
Santa Fe on Monday next. The idea is
to leave the meadow cities at a very
early hour in the morning and return
home Monday night. AS Santa Fe Is
still somewhat short on hotel accommo-
dations, this suggestion appeals al once
to the wisdom of the committee having
in charge the dedication ceremonies,
and they have united in a telegram to
Mr.. Hurley, urging him to respond to
the request Of the Las Vegans. Colonel
Rankin adds that the mayor of East
Las Vegas has issued proclamation
making June public holiday there in
honor of the completion Of the terri
tory's handsome new state house, and
urging citizens to cordially respond to
the invitation to be present. Company
/, national guard, and the East Las We
gas military band will come over with
the excursion.
THE EXCURSION TRAIN.
Touching the matter of the excursion
train from Las Vegas, Secretary w. III.
Pope, of the dedication committee. has
a telegram from Superintendent Hurley
this forenoon saying he will order an
train provided $50 people will
make the trip, and has so notified the
ly low rate will be made from all inter-
points-Fulton, Rowe, San Mi
guel, Glorieta and Lamy-and with |
those and the Las Vegas and Mora con-
tingent it is likely that more than the |
designated quota will take advantage
Of this excursion.
The Albuquerque people might also
very properly undertake a similar en-
terprise, thus in measure returning
the compliment which the capital city
has freely and generously bestowed
upon them at every annual fair for
years.

compieteu engagements for bringing

al guard organizations. The visitors, to-
gether with the first cavalry band. the

airy, artillery and rough rider veterans,

pany A, N. M. N. G., comes from Las
Cruces; company B from Mesilla; COM
