Highly satisfactory.

State Superintendent Stockwell
says that the results Of the late
teachers examinations were highly
satisfactory and in the case Of all
applicants good showing was made,
only Is per cent of the number fail
ing to pass. There were 900 papers
examined. The subject of arithmetic
was the one which caused the most
trouble with applicants and they
seemed to think the questions un-
usually hard and catchy. This was
considered in marking the. papers.
The markings of all other papers
were done strictly on the merits Of
the answers, says the superintendent.
He attributes the good results to the
attendance at teachers institutes
summer schools and harder study.

SENATOR OOLlIvER.
He Is Returning to Washington From
the Coast.
Ne IS OPPOSED TO NEW MEXICO.

United States Senator Jonathan p.
bolivar of Iowa, was in Albuquerque
about thlrty.five minutes this morning
while en- route to Chicago from
months visit on the Pacific coast
Senator Dollivar's home town Is Fort
Dodge, Iowa. but since his election to
the senate he has lived at 1415 Mas
sachusetts avenue northwest, Wash
ington.
Il have been on the coast a month
for no other reason than 10 get little
rest" said Senator bolivar to rep
resentative OF The Citizen.
II found that country prosperous"
continued the senator. The people
going right along picking their fruit
and paying little attention to stock
panics in Wall street and other cast
ern Enarcial disturbances.
81 am much impressed with the
push and business like characteristic
OF you western people. You have a
fine hotel here. You get n good meal
there, one that makes you feel like
you were IN Washington"
Just as the reporter was about TO
touch the senator on the Statehood
question, the conductor shouted "all
aboard" and the interview was
brought to a close.
Senator bolivar was not friend
TO New Mexico and Arizona In the
fight last winter He made his op.
position on the grounds that the ter
ritory was strong for free silver. This
one statement OF Senator Dolllvers
made to a member of the New Mexico
statehood committee which visited
Washington during the fight is proof
enough that the senator Is not con.
versant with the conditions OF the
southwest.
As to the free silver question New
Mexico gave a majority of 1900 votes
for aid standard.

TEN OF railroads. were in the city a
short time last night while en- route
to FL Paso, where. presumably, they
go on matters pertaining to the pro.
posed FL Paso union depot They
were accompanied by Judge Il. b. Ken.
ma, vice president and general counsel
for the Santa Fe, which Is another
good reason TO believe that Mr.. Nudge
and Cain have gone to the Pass city
on union depot business.
The railroads have experienced
some trouble IN securing title to the
depot site on account OF some if tho
property owners holding their lands
too high. The Santa Fe, on account
OF its Interests entering FL Paso. tho

Central. which latter road Is thought
TIC be controlled by the Atchison peo
pie. has taken considerable interest
in the union depot matter. and as
they have their chief attorney on the

an effort to secure the coveted land
by some process of law.

GOOD CALF ICROp PROMISED.

A recent bulletin issued from the
headquarters OF the National Live

following to say concerning conditions
in New Mexico which will be of espec-
ial interest to stockmen
In the southern and southwestern
part OF the territory general snow and
rains from January to and including
March, and heavy rains in May
brought about exceptionally good
range conditions, such as have not
existed for twenty years Cattle were
put in splendid condition and were
sought after early for immediate
movement and fail delivery. Up to
June /, $4,000 head had been shipped
out, most of them consigned to the
Kern County Land company, Baker

signed to points In Colorado at SIS,

ed for fall delivery to so to California
for $l4. sl7 and 500. The calf crop is
so per cent, ana the October roundup
promises to yield big branding: on
some ranges every two-old.year heif-
er will have calf Generally, con.
ditions point favorable for cattlemen
in this particular section OF New Mex
leo. comprising Sooorro. Luna, Grant
and part OF Dona Ana counties, with
Deming as the trading center.
Northern and eastern New Mexico
reports are oiscouraging. Very cold
nights and nigh winds during April

yellow as In winter, resulting IN thin
cattle and some losses. There is no
grass in all that district above a line
drawn east and west through Albu.

the territory rs in no better shape.
Taking the territory In general the
calf crou will be about so per cent OF
