DEEP SNOW IN NORTHERN new MEXICO.
Assures Good Wate- Supply In the Rio
Grande and Tributary Valleys This
Spring and Summer.

Special to the New Mexican
Chama, N. NJ, March 10, 1903-Quoted
In one of your recent issues the depth OF
snow in different localities was given
but this district was left out, presum-
ably because you did not have the figures.
I,wil say that at this altitude, $500
feet, at the present time there is from
three to three and one half feet of snow
on the level and at an altitude of from
5000 to 10, 900 feet the snow ranges from
five to seven feet in depth by careful
measurement in different parts Of the
mountains, which fact should give as
surance OF an abundant supply of water
in the Rio Grande this season, also In
the smaller streams and watering holes
as this amount OF snow has not been had
for about ten years.

| for dormitory purposes. Since the in
stitution was founded, 1t has received
from the territory $67,327 and has COL
lected from cadets s6S,45O. The school
property represents q value Of $47,O15 in
buildings, etc, and $4,000 in land. The
report then says:
"The land owned by the institute is
40 acre tract; the town of Roswell is
being built around it and the value of
this property is increasing rapidly and
will doubtless in the course Of time be
4 very valuable piece of property.
THE college buildings consist of five
as follows: The original building be-
ing four story brick heated by
steam and lighted by gas. The base
ment of the building is used for kitch-
EN-, bake-shop, dining room and bath
rooms; second floor for school rooms;
third and fourth floors, dormitory and
library. Four wooden buildings have
been erected, one each year out Of
earnings of the school at an average
cost of $2,400 making a total expendi-
ture of $4,000. The wooden buildings
are used, one for cadet barracks, one
as gymnasium, one as office and DOR
mitory and one for the superinten-
dents residence.
"The school has also installed a wa
ter system at a cost of $5,695.74, consis-
ting of an artesian we'll and hydraulic
ram, which forces 40 gallons Of water
per minute into an elevated tank from
which the water is conducted to all
the buildings. Before establishing this
system, the distribution of the water
over the premises by a steam pump ne
cessitated an expenditure of $500 per
annum, while under the present sys-
tenn there is practically no expense in
Cured.
''The forty acres have been inclosed;
ten of which have been set in grass
and trees, some of the trees being
large enough tor furnish shader greatly
beautifying the appearance OF the
grounds: five acres of this are smooth
ed off for the purpose of drills and
athletic sports; and the grounds have
been generally beautified.
''The school owns it's own sewer sys-
tenn. The buildings are supplied with
avatories and careful attention is
paid to sanitary conditions.
"The school has its own system of
gas works, using acelene gas, which
furnishes very satisfactory light"
The committee highly commends the
faculty and instructors and recon-
nends that the government be reques-
ted to detail an officer of the army as
Instructor in military drills and tao
ties. The entire body of cadets was
found in good health and not one on
the sick list. The fine physical condi-
ton of the cadet is attributed to the
regular hours they keep and to their
military exercises and drills. The in
stitution needs new mess hall and a
new dormitory building. There should
also be an appropriation for books for
The library as those now on hand have
been given by friends of the institu-
ion and not purchased.

THE NEW MEXICO
MILITARY INSTITUTE
AT ROSWELL
The Report of the Investigating Committee of the e
of Representatives Shows it to be One of the Best m
the Entire Southwest.
THE FACULTY HIGHLY COMMENDED AND
THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL SET FORTH

Colonel ]. w. Wilson, superintend
ent of the New Mexico Military Insti
tute at Roswell, is in town on busines
connected with that excellent educa
tional institution. In speaking of it h.
said:
THE institute has this year exper
fenced it's most successful session OF
Its existence and its future is assured
and bright. In all departments sue.
cessful work is being done and the in
stitution is in better condition thar
ever before. The faculty is able and
experienced, every member being a
specialist and devoted to his work. All
academic departments are fully or
ganized and thorough, earnest work is
being done. The military department
Is in excellent condition and interest
and zest is added to the exercises by
the participation in the drills of a ca
det band of 20 pieces, which is in a
high state of efficiency. The cadets
this year are older and better prepared
and the academic work and the morale
of the school is fine.
The school is full to it's utmost ca
pacity and several applicants for ad-
mission had to be refused on account
of limited quarters. We hope to erect
more buildings during the coming
summer, so that the limit to the In
fluence and usefulness of the school
may be removed. The teaching force
is able to furnish instruction to a lar
ger number Of students, but we have
not boarding accommodations for
those who could easily be secured.
The school has each year of it's life
erected a new building, but the de-
mand for quarters has increased out of
proportion to the accommodations. We
have refused unnecessarily to crowd
the cadets and these buildings have
been erected and furnished out of the
earnings of the school.
Roswell is growing very rapidly Tn
fact it has grown entirely around the
institute buildings ain the future
growth of the city seems to be mostly
In that direction"
The committee which visited the in
stitute submitted it's report to the
House yesterday. The report is leng-
thy and goes into details of the work
Of the school. Within fifteen minutes
after the arrival of the committee at
the institute grounds, 102 cadets We're
on the drill ground giving an exhibi-
ton battalion, skirmish and other
drills The appearance of the cadets
and the precision with which they ex-
acuted the movements is highly COM
mended and praised. After the drill
the committee inspected the college
and dormitories and the only unfav-
orable comment Is in reference to the
utter lack Of quarters or apparatus for
the laboratory or library, and the in
sufficient dormitory, class room and
mess hall accommodations. The con-
ditions are due to the scanty appro-
priations by the legislative assembly
during the past few years. The rooms
for library, reading room,
and gymnasium are used

THE HOUSE.
(Morning SESSION.

The House was called to order and
after reading the Journal and prayer,
Mr.. Ortega rose to question OF per-
sonal privilege. He asked that the
nation made by Mr.. Martin Sanchez
to have committee appointed to take
him to the insane asylum, be stricken
from the records. Mr.. Llewellyn NOV
ed that it be the sense of the House
that Mr.. Ortega should not go to the
insane asylum. The Speaker said Mr..
Martin Sanchez should have the floor,
and he tfereupon made a very grace
full apology and said he made the mo-
ton, in a large measure, to bring good
humor to the House. On motion OF MT
Cristoval Sanchez, the use OF the
House chamber was given to the HIS
torical Society for Friday evening
next. Mr.. Llewellyn moved to go into
a committee of the whole to consider
Council Bill No. 27, commonly known
as the Sunday cinch BILL" an act re-
quiring police officers to enforce the
Sunday law. Mr.. Bowie took the
chair. The bill was read and Mr..
Dalies moved that the committee OF
the whole report in favor Of laying the
bill on the table. He said he was In
favor Of the Sunday closing Of saloons
and the bill under consideration was
strict but 1t might be dangerous. Mr..
Turner took the opposite stand. Mr..
Pendleton made a lengthy speech IN
favor Of Sunday closing and his re-
marks were received with applause by
the large audience. Mr.. Llewellyn Ia
vored the passage Of the bill If the
section empowering the governor to
remove United States judges was
stricken out. He said It was disrespect-
full to the president as drawn. He read
a letter from Professor Hiram Hadley
in favor Of local option. Mr.. Martin
Sanchez favored the passage Of the
