CATTLE MEN FEEL BLUE.
Their Losses This Spring in Southern
New Mexico Threaten to Be
Very Heavy.

w. H. Greer and Thomas N. Wilker-
son returned to Albuquerque on Mon
day from trip through southern New
Mexico where Mr.. Greer had been in
specting the ranges of the Victorio
Land and Cattle Company of which he
is general manager. The two visited
the Armendaries grant in Socorro and
Sierra Counties, recently purchased by
the Victorio Company, went to Engle
and then into Grant County. They re-
port the range in bad condition. The
grass is gone and the drouth of the
winter leaves very little prospects OF
any improvement in the early spring
The most conservative cattlemen in
southern and central New Mexico fig
IRE that their. losses will be very
heavy and that unless heavy rains
come soon the death rate in the range
cattle will bre-k some records.

CITY POLITICS..
Democratic Convention This Evening.
Republican Ward Primaries-The
Plans and Schemes.

The Republicans Of Albuquerque
evening and news from the Duke City
is to the effect that George F. Albright
will be nominated for mayor, Harry F.
Lee for city clerk and Henry E. Rog-
ers for city treasurer. The ticket is
believed to be a very strong one and
will stand an excellent chance for elec-
| tion.
Late this afternoon it was reported
on the streets that a citizens ticket
is to be nominated by the disgruntled
Republican faction, which is to con-
tain the names of candidates for city /
clerk, for one member of the city
council, and one member of the city
board of education in each ward and
that these nominations are to be en-
dorsed by the Democratic conventions
and placed upon the regular Democrat
ic ticket.
The street has it thata good many
Democrats do not look with favor up
on the proposed combination with the
Republican faction and that they will
oppose such scheme in the Demo
cratic city convention tonight. Quite
a number of Democrats have declared
themselves as opposed to the plan
which it is said has been agreed upon
by some of their leaders and certain
Republicans. This evenings conven-
tion will settle the matter, as full city
and ward tickets will then and there
be nominated by the Democrats.
In the Fourth Ward there is some
talk among the Republicans OF placing
Solicitor General E. L. Bartlett and
DIR. David Knapp on the ticket for
members of the city board OF educa-
ton. Nothing definite, however, has
been decided upon. The Democrats
are talking of Teodocio Castillo for re-
nomination for member of the city
council and E. S. Andrews and James
L. Seligman for members of the city =
board of education
&**
The Democratic city convention will
be held this evening at 1880 o'clock.
The convention will be called to or
der by John C. Sears, and will consist
of 40 delegates, ten from each ward in
the city There are no contests and
the only difficult question before the
convention is whether the scheme en-
tered into by certain Democratic boss
es and the Republican faction to give
the latter part of the nominees on the
regular Democratic ticket is to be car
ried out or not The convention will
be held in Motley's Opera House.
The Republican primaries for the
election of delegates to the city con-
vention will be held this evening at
1880 o'clock as follows: First Ward,
in the school house; Second Ward at
Evaristo Lucero's Hall; Third Ward at
Fireman's Hall: Fourth Ward at the
court house. These primaries will be
called to order in the First Ward, by
Jesus M. Gonzales; Second Ward by
Agustin Salcido: Third Ward by Al
berto Garcia; Fourth Ward by David
M. Gonzales. 1t is understood that no
nominations for ward Offices will be
made. and that these will be left to

TWO MORE RAILROADS.

Since last week two more
railroads via Plainview are on
tap.
The first of these is a propo.
s'tion from A. G. Boyce, mana
ger of the Syndicate ranch, to
build from Bovina to Plainview.
Mr.. Boyce is to be in Plain
view before long to see about
this. The amount of capital
already subscribed is not stated
but those ih touch with it say
that it is ample.
Second, but not the least OF
all these budding railroads, is
one to run from Canyon City via
Tulia, Plainview and Lubbock
to Stamford. This last move is
backed by company of outside
and local capitalists organized
in Canyon City last Saturday,
who for the present desire that
their names be not mentioned.
The amount of stock subscribed
for this enterprise, the News is
informed, already passes the
half million mark. Like the
Bovina project no name for this
line has yet been given to the
public and we may have to wait
tor the charters applied for)
before it can be had straight.
This last proposition, if sue
cessful, and it stands as good a
chance to be as any, makes Oan-
yon City headquarters and gives
US not only the shops of the
system running south but also
the shops of the Santa Fe.
