The matter of selecting a date for
New Mexico Day" was discussed, but
no dennite date was decided upon.
There was leaning toward August 10,
the date upon winch General Kear-
ney took possession OF Santa Fe, and
virtually wrested this vast Mexican
cession from Mexico. but there Is some
doubt as 10 the ACCESSIBILITY of select.
ing this date owing to the great heat
prevailing In st. Louis at the time. II
is probable tnat some date In Septem.
Der will finally be named as New
Mexico Day" The comm. tees will ar.
range for addresses to be made on the

zone to lake the day a success.

have general supervision OF the New
tAiibito ut Tux
| far. Mr. Porterfield has had extern
sive experience In this line OF work
and ought to ne the right man in the
right place.
The board went at the propositions
before them in a strictly business like
manner from the first. Considerable
| time was devoted to finances. The
money available for this purpose was
divided and appropriated for the differ
EFT exhibits in a conservative manner
and each industry was taken care Of
by just as large an appropriation az
the board could spare. When this was
done 1t was found that each industry
would nave enough a. II was used care
fuzzy and econon ,cally. Everything Il
very promising now and there Is nc
dou that New Mexico will meet the
expectations of her friends at the great
exposition to commemorate the ami
versary OF me Louisiana purchase.
