SNOWFALL BULLETIN.

March was not so stormy as usual
over the greater part of the noun
tain region. and taken as a whole the
precipitation was below normal, al
though an excess was noted in To-
ca.ities on nearly every watershed
There has been considerable melting
in the valleys. and a large proportion
of the moisture is being absorbed by
the dry soil. Above 5000 feet the
depths are practically the same as a
month ago. the current fall generally
making good the loss in depth by the
gradual settling Of the old snow, much
Of which is in q condition to remain
late in the season. The outlook for a
good and prolonged flow is unusually
favorable for the Rio Grande; on 9TH
er watersheds the early flow prom
ises to be much better than last years
but the late flow will be less than
normal if not augmented by normal
rainfall.
Rio Crande Watershed: Antelope
enthusiastically packed; indications
for a steady and heavy flow until mid
summer. Creede-Average flow ex-
nactel. Teller-Hardest winter n
heaviest snowfall in years. Wagon
Wheel Gap-Good prospects for water
during summer. Jasper-Well pack
ed. and outlook best in our years.
Summitville-Very compact. and is
about one-third deeper than fall of last
Ave or six years. Osier-Melting
rapidly. Platoro-Melting slowly; In
dications that streams will be high

III DAY.

Goodness is profitable" nc doubt.
We set aside fifty-two days of the
year for the encouragement of this de-
sirable attainment. That cleanliness
comes next in the scale of virtue has
long been accepted as a sovereign
truth. Nevertheless, it is very often
happens that tie scale of cleanliness
goes up and kicks the beam, while
godliness, weighted down with an ac
emulation of the dust of ages, sinks
below its normal position.
The work undertaken by the Wom-
ans federation to secure one day ev-
cry year devoted entirely to the u
of cleanliness is of surprising worth.
The health board, the physicians OF
the city, the mayor and council have
declared in it's favor, and tomorrow,
by the grace of the city executive,
is the day. The object of the move
ment is TO fight the demon OF dirt
wherever he raises his unholy head.
He sneaks into the back yards, crawls
down the alleys. and has even proven
bold enough to make his appearance
on the streets Wherever he passes
disease turks in his trail. The good
ladies of the city have decreed his
Punishment and ask the assistance of
every citizen in putting the sentence
into effect. The doctors say that
where there is no filth there is no
contagious disease. There has been
contagious disease in the city. There
contagious disease in the city, there
fore.-Let everybody join in the carni-
val of cleanliness.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle Of ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

when | had an attack of grip last
winter (the second One) | actually
cured myself with n bottle Of Cham
lain's Cough Remedy says Frank
w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest
truth. l at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at
night I would take a dose and it
seemed that in the briefest interval
the cough would pass off and | would
go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and it's accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. l had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because | had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only to be of less duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and l
had not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu."

INVITATION FROM DUKE CITY.

The Optic has received from d. A.
Mcpherson of the Albuquerque COM
mittee of arrangements for the recep-
ton of President Roosevelt a request
that publicity be given to the plans
that are being made down there for
the welcome to the nations executive.
A half fare rate has been granted by
the railroads, but the Optic has not
been informed regarding the plans
made by the committee. The Albu-
querque papers speak of gorgeous dec
orations, a grand parade in which the
president will be escorted by a num-
Der of military organizations, includ-
ing troopers from Fort Wingate, and
a short address by the president on
the AlvaradO grounds. AS special ef-
fort has been made to secure h at
tendance of a large Las Vegas dele
CATION at Santa Fee, and as an unus-
ually good rate has been granted
DOUBTLESS more patriotic Las Vegans
will welcome the president there. Still
many will, no doubt, go from there to
the Duke City to take part in the not
abe doings.

MIR. Cleveland and The Negro.

Mr.. Cleveland's well considered and
just expression on the negro question
last night is significant because 1t
represents the altered attitude Of the
north toward the great race problem.
Immediately after the war northern
men attempted to deaf with the mat

ural under the circumstances, but
mistaken-that the advice of the
south as to the freedmen must be ig-
nored, people who knew nothing
about the negro set to work to care
for him.

Stunning that wise methods could
spring from ignorance, arose a mis-
taken notion of the character of edu-
cation suitable for ex-slaves and their
children. The attempt was made to
provide a classical training for a race
which needed first of all to learn to
earn it's living by it's hands. The strug-
gle to deal with the problem at long
range came owe northern sentiment.
The new position taken in the north
was admirably defined by Mr.. Cleve-
land at the Madison Square garden
meeting.
In the first place the Ex-President
frankly recognizes that the question
is primarily a southern n and that
1.-The realization of our hopes for the
negro must mainly depeni-except so
far as it rests with the negroes them
selves-upon the sentiment and con
duct of the responsible white men of
the south" Labor as we WILL" he
adds, chose who do the lifting of the
weight must be those who stand ext
to it." In the second place Mr.. Cleve-
land states his belief in industrial
education as the great saving force
for the negro. He belongs, he says,
ito the Booker Washington-Tuske-
gee section of those who are interest
ed in the race problem. He is con
vinced that the methods of the in
dustrial institute employed first by
General Armstrong at Hampton and
later by his famous pupil at Tuske-
gee, point the way to a safe and
beneficent solution. In this belief he
looks forward to a businessmen a
social-equality of the races, which
has been distinctly a southern ideal of
FL x,,-l0~nfo fhor1nh not 0f tho
Tillman school.
There is reason for the greatest
hopefulness in the fact that such
views are held by the substantial ele-
ment in the north represented by
such men as MIR. Cleveland and Mayor
Low, DIR. Abbott, President Butler,
and Mr.. w. II. Baldwin, who sat on
the platform with him.-Kansas City
