Mrs. Stanford Dead.

Honolulu, March Mrs. Jane La

widow of United States Senetor Le-
lane Stanford, died at llA0 o'clock last
night, forty minutes after she was
taken i'll at the Morgan hotel here,
under suspicious circumstances, point
ing, in the opinion of the physician who
attended her in her dying hour, ana
seemingly in that of Others, to poisoning
by the administration of strychnine in
vial of bicarbonate Of soda
Late reports are that an attempt
was made to poison her in her home in
San Francisco, In January; that she
then left for the Islands where the
second attempt was successful.
In respect to her memory the legis
lature adjourned and flags were placed
at half-mast throughout the city and
s.ate of California.
Later 1t is definitely settled that Mrs
Stanford died from natural causes.

Badly Needed.

One of the great needs of the town,
that would be also a great economy, is
a road scraper foi work on our streets.
The cost of a scraper is about $3.50,
and with it three men and three teams
can do the work Of twenty men and
teams with the present street equip
ment; and it will do far better work.
This has been demonstrated in other
localities, and as we are now beginning
street improvement on more extensive
scale than heretofore, our street com
missioner ought to be provided with
better facilities for the work
We believe only word is needed to
cause the town board to give this mat.
ter earnest consideration. Just
now road scraper and heavy roller
are absolute necessities.

U. S. Weather Bureau.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb 2Sth, 1905.
February has been another wet
month, with some very severe cold
weather during the first half, especial
ly on the eastern slope, but mild and
spring-like thelatter part Of the month.
Moisture is abundant everywhere. the
soil thoroughly soaked, streams at flood
tide and all flowing freely; while lakes
and water holes are full.
The warmth of the latter part of the
month has started grass, alfalfa and
some sowed grain, In protected places
in the southern part early fruits are
budding and a few blooms are open It
is thought that little damage result
ed from the severe cold in the Pecos
valley. Frost is largely out of the
ground and where fields are dry enough
p,ows are running and some early seed
ing is being done; fall grain looks good.
Stock is reported in good condition
and losses have been few. In the
northeast district, however, feed is prac-
tically exhausted, hay is being shipped
in to sustain stock and losses have al
ready occurred. Tho outlook Throughout
the territory is most hattering, grass
is starting, soil well satu ated, abun-
dance of snow in high attitudes, and
water supply assured for domestic use,
stock, and general and extensive ir-
rigation.

A Story With a Moral.

Once upon time a donkey fell into
a deep hole, and after ne rly starving,
caught sight Of a passing fox and i'm
plored the stranger to help him out
IL am too small to aid you," said
the fox, but will give you some adj
vice. Only a few rods away is big
strong elephant, call to him and he
will get you out in jitfy. After the
fox had gone the donkey thus reasoned:
81 am very weak from want of nour-
ishment. Every move | make is just
so much additional loss of strength. If
| raise my voice to call the elephant |
shall be weaker yet. No will not
waste my substance that way. 1t is
the duty Of the elephant to come with
out calling" So the donkey settled
himself back and eventually starved tc
death. Long afterward the fox, or
passing the hole, saw within a whitened
skeleton and remarked: "Ifit be that
the souls of animals are transmigratec
into men that donkey will become one
of those who can never afford TO adver
| tise. "

5000, 900 acres, besides many thousand
cash purchases of Cherokee Indiar
school lands. There are only about 70,
600 acres yet to be entered. The dis
continuance of the office is due to that
provision of the federal statutes which
,tipulates that when the government
lands IT. land office district amount t
less than 100000 acres, the Office shal
be discontinued There now remain il

Heart tender and sweet.

No wonder you're cold,

RESOURCES Of NEW hExICO.
Minerals.

New Mexico during the year ending
June 3Ol9O3 produced $53l, l3l of gold
ore; S59l, 1872 of silver ore; 1853, 1884
pounds OF copper; $9l, 1886 worth OF lead;
Sl.795, ,2OS worth of COAL 100000 tons
iron; $3.50, 900 worth of turquois. Zinc,
fire clay, alum; sulphur, salt, gypsum,
ochre and other minerals abound. There
are also valuable deposits of marble,
ONYX building stone and lime. The
mineral industry is only in its infancy
and New Mexico offers the best field
for the prospector and the capitalist of
any part of the United States.
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.
New Mexico raises the finest fruit and
the best sugar beets in the world. Its
orchards are wealth producers. The
fruit is larger, better favored and
higher colorei than the besg of Califor-
MIA and commands five to fifteen per
cent higher prices in Colorado and east
ern markets than California fruit.
Sugar beets having higher sugar con-
tents and being purer than those raised
in Utah or Colorado are grown in the
San.a Fe. San Jaun and other valleys.
Rio Gtande Valley wheat and oats took
first prizes at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago in 1893, and other eXpositions.
Tobacco does we'll and cotton is raise
ed in the lower Pecos Valley.
LIVESTOCK.
New Mexico has 5,674, 900 head of
sheep, l.l23,OOO head of cattle, ll3.
600 mead of goats, 81 800 head Of horses.
Its wool crop last year was 22,OOO, 900
pounds. New Mexico owing to its eli
mate and its immense public range, is
the best livestock country in the West.
CLIMATE.
The finest all-the- year-around climate,
Its aseptic, dry atmosphere, large
per centage of sunshine, high altitude

three years 2, l79, 1888 acres were enter

TAXATION.
As property is assessed at only on
