INVESTIGATING THE GRAZING
QUESTION.
About the middle Of September the
two representatives Of the agricultural
department., Forester Pinchot and Bot
anist Coville, who visited New Mexico
and Arizona last spring to study the
question of grazing upon the forest re-
servations, will return and cover the
same field again. The object of the sec
ond trip is to observe the condition of
the lands directly after being grazed.
Their former trip of inspection gave them
an idea of the condition of the grazing
lands after a winter season, but before
the sheep had been admitted.
In the former trip they paid especial
attention to the San Francisco and Black
Mesa reserves. Neither OF these gentle
men feels at liberty to give expression to
nor will they do so until they have sub
mitted their views to the secretary of
agriculture this fall. 1t is inferred,
however, from their conversation, that
| unless this coming fall inspection shows
very disastrous effects of grazing within
the forest reserves, that these two Off
| cials will report in favor OF the grazing
| system. The secretary of the interior
may abandon his idea of a joint commits
sion to make an investigation Of this
| character in view of this extended in
vestigation by the agricultural depart
ment.
LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Governor Otero today issued the fol-
lowing Labor Day proclamation;
The laws of the United States of
America designate the first Monday in
September of each year as a legal holt
day to be known as Labor Day. A gem
eral observance of the day so wisely set
apart by Congress, will promote "a higher
appreciation OF the dignity Of labor and
the great work it is doing In building up
our beloved country, by the development
of its various and unlimited resources
A due recognition of the day by all of
the people will tend to the cultivation OF
a friendly feeling among us and beget
those pleasant and reciprocal relations
so essential to our welfare and happiness
as q community. Now, therefore, I,
Miguel A. Otero, Governor of the Terri
tory of New Mexico, do proclaim and
declare Monday, the second day of Sep
TENDER, A. D. 1900, a legal holiday, and
earnestly recommend that all business,
Of whatever nature, except such as the
necessities of the community require tc
be carried on, be suspended on that day
and that all who desire to do so, may
have an opportunity to observe the day
in such manner as may to them seem
best and fitting to the occasion.
Done at the Capital, at Santa Fe, on this
the Both day of August, A. d. 1900
Witness my hand and the great seal of
the Territory of New Mexico.
