ECHOES

Representative Jose Amado Eucero
of Rio Arriba County, did not talk
much, but voted effectively and on the
right side. His record is commend
able.
B. G. Lynch, Of San Miguel County
Is among the representatives who did
we'll and attended to their duties ef
fectively and carefully He worked
hard for the benefit of Las Vegas and
Of San Miguel County and succeeded
as much favorable legislation to that
town and that county was passed.
One Of the most careful and most
conservative members was Represent
ative w. w. Williams, of Sierra Coun-
| ty. He was always in his seat, very
attentive, straight and a hard worker.
The voters of Sierra County did well
in sending him to represent them in
the Assembly.
President Clark and Speaker Dalies
have commenced the rather laborious
task of reading the journals of. the
House, over which each presided, in Or
der to correct them and have them in
proper shape. This work will take all
Of next week. 1t is not quite as inter-
esting as an English or French realis-
tic novel, but it will have to be done.
Representative Celestino Ortiz, of
Santa Fe County, was quiet and in
dustrious worker. He did his best to
have the bill providing for an Execu-
tive mansion in this city passed. 1t was
defeated hy tie vote. Had there
been more time Of the session, the
chances are that the efforts of Mr..
Ortiz in that direction would have
been successful. AS 1t is, Santa Fe
will have to try again.
The New Mexican yesterday COM
menced to publish synopsis of the
acts as passed and approved. This
will be of great interest to the people
generally and hence this paper calls
attention to it. Reading the synopsis
as published daily will save perusing
the laws, which at times are very
lengthy and very dry reading. While
the synopsis given will be concise and
short, it will contain all necessary in
formation.
1t is said that among the candidates
for the Office of irrigation engineer un-
der the new irrigation law. are the
following: A. G. Kennedy Of this city,
who was chief engineer of the Santa
Fe Central and is now chief engineer
of the Mimbres River Water Company;
G. A. Collins who has had much expe-
rience In railroad and irrigation en-
gineering, also of this city; Jay Tur-
ley, who has been U. s. deputy and
mineral surveyor for six or seven years
here and who has also done much
work as an irrigation engineer. There
are two or three others but the above
seem to be at the top of the list.
Representative Granville Pendleton,
as chairman of the House committee
on finance and railroads and as a
member Of other important commit
tees, had much work to do and he got
through 1t in great shape. He also
prepared and introduced many bills
which became law. The measures in.
troduced by him were of the right
kind and in the right direction. San
Juan County, of which he is citizen
and the district composed Of that coun-
ty and OF Rio Arriba and Taos Coun.
ties, which elected him, has just
cause to be proud of him and his SER
vices during the recent session.
Hon. Solomon Luna, Republican ma.
tional committeeman, yesterday pre-.
sented Councilman w. q. Martin with
a beautiful and costly pin, an opal set
with diamonds and a similar jewel was
given by Mr.. Luna to Travelling Audit
or Charles " Stafford. The recipients
are proud of the presents, not SO much
for their intrinsic value and beauty,
but because they came from such
good and sincere friend as he Is to
them; and because they were marks
of the esteem and respect in which |
they are held by the donor. Mr.. Mar
tin and Mr. Stafford are certainly very
proud Of their presents and do not hest
tate to express their appreciation.
