done at the meeting which was
held at Las Vegas yesterday
|, and it is a date of special his
torical significance not only TO
, New Mexico but 10 the country
in general as we'll. 1t was on
! his date that the United States
J took formal possession OF the
|, then Mexican territory of New
) Mexico, and it was also in pur-
! suance of the general plan the
5 government had adopted at
! that time in anneXing all this
s. western territory and followed
5 closely upon the acquisition OF
s the territory included in the
s Louisiana purchase. Thus the
5 date has a double significance
{ and is national as well as local.
s The board also thought that
/ this date would afford an op-
! portunity for the people OF the
s Territory and especially the
! school children to attend the
. exposition. as at that time the
s schools would not be in ses-
sion.

mare an exhibit of the smaller fruits
Superintendent Porterf1eld was direct

mention should be made OF Mrs. Ken
