Mesilla Park N. M, June 13, 1901.
Building activity at Mesilla Park still
continues The latest addition is the
erection of an Episcopal church, foun-
on land not farsfrom the college farm.
w. N. Hager is erecting a large ware
house near the depot with a capacity
of over 500 tons of alfalfa. w. S. Gill
iam's house is rapidly going up, and
Hon. H. c. Newberrys brick residence
is nearing completion.
The library of the college at Mesilla
Park will again receive large additions
during the present summer and coming
fall The board of regents at it's last
and within the next twelve months
$1,000 will be expended on library books.
The board has shown a wise policy in
it's determination to build up this de-
partment of the institution, which is
rapidly coming to be one of the best lib
raries in the southwest. During the
past year it has been in charge Of a
trained librarian, and is catalogued and
arranged by the most modern methods.
The experiment station at Mesilla
Park is taking steps to collect and tab
ulate information and statistics
throughout the territory and neighbor-
ing country in regard to irrigating
plants. Interest in pumping plants is
rapidly increasing, and the station is
desirous of securing the most valuable
and practical information on the sub
ject, for distribution to all persons in
terested. The station is always desir-
GUS of rendering the best possible SER
vices to the people of New Mexico, and
solicits inquiries on any subject from
any part Of the territory.
1t should be good news to the young
men and to some young women of our
territory to learn of the short courses |
which have been instituted in the col
lege here by the board of regents. The |
agriculture and horticulture and me-
chanic arts. These short courses make
It possible for any young man in our
.erritory to enter the institution, no |
natter what his previous preparation
has been, and to take just the most
and practical work in these
subjects that will do him the most good.
He can learn the latest and best meth
Ids in agriculture and horticulture, and
will take practical work on the farm
md in the orchard, seeing everything
in actual practice. In
he college shops his work in the short
course in mechanic arts will include all
he most important classes of shop
work.. The work is SO arranged as to
10 him the most good in the shortest
ime, and to turn him out as trained
mechanic. The college offers these
curses for the benefit of the many
'oung people who cannot afford to take
full four years college course, and
Who want the most in the shortest time,
nd that of the most practical charac-
err The adoption of these short courses
1arks new era in the life Of the col
ege, and will attract large number
+ hard working, earnest, and ambi-
ous students to the institution.
