Pioneers OF New Mexico.

New Mexico Is in the transition period
from a pioneer country to that Of a
state reclaimed for civilization. 1t is
not altogether dependent upon immi-
grafton, and has the elements of future
prosperity and growth within its bound
aries. One by one the old pioneers, the
first Anglo-Saxons who settled south Of
the Colorado line and opened the terri
tory to Anglo-Saxon energy and prog
ress. are passing away, but the results
of their acknowledgements and toll re-
main as monuments to them. Cities
founded by them, mineral districts
which they explored, lands they re-
claimed and wilds they penetrated nov.
have become the playground for
modern human activity, and are pour
ing their wealth into the laps of those
who are succeeding the pioneers. New
Mexico should remember and revere the
names of these peaceful reconquerors
the same as 1t remembers and reveres
Its first conquerors and reconquerors,
whose descendants are still Justly proud
Of their brave ancestors. Pioneer socie-
ties which are s%pringing up In all parts
Of the territory can do much in preserv-
ing the names and biographies of the
men who have done for New Mexico
what Daniel Boone did for Kentucky. A
few of the old-timers who came to New
Mexico long before railroads and mod
'ern progress are still living, but their
days are numbered, and the land gov
erned by their children should not for
get them.

The White Mans Burden.

In India nearly 1900. 900 people are be-
ing fed at the expense of the British
Indian government. Before England
gained control there We're famines ir
India, but there was no ability upon tht
part of the native government to take
care Of the starving people. In 176!
5000, 900 of them died, and the record has
been equaled at other times. Now when
famine comes the government opens its
purse. and starts public works by which
the natives may earl food by labor, fair
wages being allowed. The public work
consists of roads and canals for irriga-
ton. In hundreds of districts deserts
have been reclaimed and agricultural
crops are grown sufficient for the peo-
pie Of those localities. The government
has expended s1o,O 900, 900 for work of this
kind during the present famine. Much
territory will be proof against drouth
in the future.

RESOURCES OF new MEXICO.
Capital and Labor Forcing Development In
New Fields Hand In Hand.
~(Alamogordo News.)

AlamOgOrQO NeWS.)
No II who has made a study of the
resources of New Mexico can fail to be
impressed with their magnitude. Cap
ital and labor lave gone hand in hand
steadily and irresistibly, forcing a way
into new and untried fields. That which
was formerly a desert plain covered
with a growth Of mesquite brush,
greasewood and cactus, has through ir-
rigation been transformed into fertile
fields, rich garden tracts and orchards,
heavy laden with fruit of every variety
and of the most delicious favor. The
soil is wonderfully productive, and
needs but the magic touch of moisture
to send forth it's hidden strength to
nourish and bring to perfect maturity
a vast variety of fruits and grains. The
supply Of water for irrigating purposes
has its limit, of course, but If irrigation
by means Of artesian wells could be
successfully practiced in this region, as
is the case in California, who can meas
ure the ~stupendous results of such en-
terprise? The hundreds of thousands
of acres which are now lying idle could
be occupied by the Industrious farmer
and fruit grower, thousands Of people
would be attracted to this region to es-
tablish homes; cities and towns with all
their varied industries would spring up
as if by magic.
Everything considered, New Mexico,
and especially the southern portion Of
it, offers a greater number Of induce
ments, with fewer disadvantages, than
almost any other region. The album
dant commercial resources, apparent to
the most casual observer, attract the
business man.; the demand for labor
brings the workingman from the con-
gested centers Of the east, where labor
Is at a discount; the invalid finds res
of health; the man Of family,
seeking a home where wife and chill
dren are protected, where intellectual
social and religious needs are gratifed,
and where all conditions for the devel-
opment of robust, symmetrical life are
amply met, may rest assured that he
will not be disappointed in locating
here.

SHEEP WRONGLY BLAMED.
Government Official Says They Do No Dam.
age to Forest Reserves.

Sheep do not injure forest r~eserves!''
This Is the substance of the report of F.
E. Town, of the United States geolog-
ical survey, who has just recently made
an examination of the Big Horn forest
reserve in northern Wyoming, and
which examination was made with spe-
cial reference to the much discussed
question of whether or not sheep graz
ing upon the reserve is an injury to the
trees and foliage. Mr.. Town says:
In every part Of the reserve are
found areas destitute Of timber, which
are called parks. These vary in extent
from a few acres to thousands Of acres.
1t is impossible to estimate with any
accuracy their aggregate extent, but 1t
is great. I think it is safe to say that
not less than one-half Of the area of this
forest reserve consists of these parks.
The parks are covered with grass, and
In some cases no timber Is to be seen.
These parks afford excellent pasturage
for stock during the summer months. I
find that during the past summer be-
tween 5000 and 1000 head of cattle
ranged in the mountain park north of
Tongue river and toward Bald noun
tain. In addition to these cattle there
was a large number Of sheep in the
same vicinity during the season-prob-
ably not less than $50, 900 head.
II have had excellent opportunity to
look into the charge that sheep eat off
the young trees and sprouts just spring
ing up, and also gnaw the bark OF
young trees and kill the growing tim
Der. I found sheep in almost every park
in the mountains, and I examined care
fully through the timber after the sheep
had passed, but was unable to find the
slightest evidence Of the correctness of
the charges; I was unable to find 80
much as a twig Of a pine or spruce tree,
or small, which had been bitten
or touched by the sheep. Hence I am
obliged to say that this charge Of sheep
lnjurying the forest eserves or the tim
Der thereon IL entirely unfounded."

President Mckinley is right and con-
gress is wrong on the Porto Rican tariff
question. If the United States can erect
a tariff wall against it's own possessions
some future congress may see fit to en-
act a tariff against New Mexico or Ari-
IONA. The constitution plainly intended
that free trade should exist between
any and all parts of the United States.
America annot afford to fall into a
semblance of the ridiculous errors that
prevailed in Germany previous to the
days Of the Zolloerein, when every few
miles the traveller ran across a custom
house and a custom boundary.

Huntington Is Flush.

After standing off the government for
many years with regard to payment of
the deb due from the Central Pacific,
and threatening to let the railway be
taken under foreclosure, Coils P. Hunt
ington is now so eager to pay that he
has just taken sup a note for SO, 900, 900
not due until next August. This is one
Of a set of notes given by the Southern
Pacific company to cover the indebted
ness of the Central Pacific, just when
President Mckinley was going to sell
the mortgaged line to a syndicate for a
few millions more than President Cleve-
land was about to accept when he went
out Of office. BY paying the note now
Huntington secures the release Of GER
tain bonds put up as security, and prob
ably has a good market for them. He
certainly did not pay any Of the debt
because he desired to do so as a mat
ter Of honor. Having stood it off for
several decades he had made up his
mind that he might forever escape
meeting the obligation, and had even
tried to get a bill through congress ex-
tending the time for payment ninety
years, with a 2 per cent interest rate.

The coal miners of the Ohio and Mo-
nongahela valleys will get an increase
of q per cent in wages April /, with GER
tain concessions. This Is the result of a
conference between miners and mine
operators. The agreement, meeting with
the approval Of the leaders of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, as we'll as that Of the
largest operators, Is likely to stand un-
broken, assuring tens of thousands of
miners steady work for another year.
The scale was settled without a strike
Of serious friction. The rate which 1t
fixes for mining is higher than any
which has been paid in the districts for
twenty years. The decision that the
condition of the mining business war
rants the sharp advance in wages is
evidence that good times are here to
remain. The mining interests are active
because manufacturing business Is 60
ing full blast, and the market for coal
IL steadily widening.

In the Colorado valleys the selling
price of sheep and lambs has advanced
l cent per pound this month, which is
an unusual improvement at this time
of the year AS the feeders were I'M
willing to pay the prices generally ask
ers who could for once afford to keep
their lambs for wool purposes, the ad-
vance will not benefit the Colorado
people so much as it would have in 9TH
er years. The sale of lambs and sheep
for food purposes is decreasing all wei
the country because of the profit now
made from wool.

Ration has taken possession of its new
SIS. 900 modern school building, and has
good reaso for being proud of it. The
growth and progress of New Mexico
towns and cities can be gagged at a
glance by looking at their school build
ings. These are at the same time also
guarantees for future advancement, for
a city of good schools and school build
ings will attract population as we'll as
wealth, and it's growing generation is
good of the town that gave it an educa-
ton amidst pleasant and modern sur
roundings.

The Democrats in the house of repre-
sentatives have made a change for the
better in swapping leaders, substituting
Representative Richardson Of Tennes-

The Tennesseean never fails to turn his
artillery upon his opponents at every

his opponents for ability displayed, and
does not make himself ridiculous as
Bailey did

Lord Roberts appears to be a mar
who gets there. He turned up at ia
al Cronje a lively chase to the burrows
into the banks of the Modder river. And
he bothered with few reports until the
enemy c~apitulated. Then he simply
stated the fact, but with somewhat OF
a chuckle, by calling attention to the
coincidence that the Dutchmen surren,
dered on the anniversary of the victory
at Majuba Hill.

The emperor of Germany is elected
honorary colonel of every regiment
which he names as a royal regiment.
He draws the salary of colonel from
each of these, and at last accounts was
down on pay rolls to the extent of $42,-
500 annually. Each Of his many sons
takes a military title as soon as he is
ten years old, and the emperor draws
the pay of the youngsters. How long
would the American people put up with
that sort of a hold-up game if they had
a ruler of divine right?

the state, and that last year $3.50 cases
We're reported, of which but 1886 were

The healthy tone of business in Carls-
bad, just now. is well evidenced by the
way in which the residences vacated by
the railway officials and families were
promptly filled by new tenants. Though
half a dozen houses were affected by the
exodus of railroaders to Roswell, in
most instances these residences We're
spoken for before vacant, and today
there is not a house to let in town.
Moreover, there is still a large number
of families here who are boarding sim
ply because of the dearth of desirable
residences, and there is a good opening
for investment in meeting this demand
by the erection of a number of new five
to seven room cottages.
