new MEXICO CROP CONDITIONS.
Showers Reported BY Observers i
Many Localities, Also The First
Frost and Damage BY Hail.

Crop reports received by the New
Mexico Climate and Crop Service for
the past week indicate in general the
continuance of the favorable climatic
conditions which have been a feature
of the year. Showers have greatly
increased the prospects Tor a good
winter range. However, in many
places, they have retarded harvesting,
especially of the hay crop. Damage
by grasshoppers and drouth is report
ed from Laguna, Valencia County
while San Rafael, not far away, re-
ports considerable damage by heavy
showers and hail Ojo Caliente, Taos
County, reports continued drouth and
fruit crop below the average. Union
County also reports drouth conditions
while Texico and Rociada report the
first heavy frosts. All the observers
report stock in fair to good condition
and the outlook for the winter is very
encouraging.

RURAL
DELIVERY
Petition for a Route to Include
Tesuqus, Sunmount and Aqua
fria, Forwarded Today.
HUNDRED SIGNATURES
Its Establishment Would Be Of Obvious
Benefit to Santa fe's Business
interests.

| Postmaster Paul A. r. Walter today
| forwarded to Delegate in Congress w.
II. Andrews for his endorsements peti.
tion for the establishment of free
rural delivery route from Santa Fe
to Tesuque and to Traceys saw mill.
thence by the Bishops ranch to the
eastern boundary of the city Of Santa
Fe, thence to the reservoir on the
north side of the river and crossing
the river below the large reservoir
down the southern bank to the east
ern city limits; thence to Sunmount;
thence to the penitentiary, U. s. In
dian School to Aqua Fria, back to the
postoffice, a distance of twenty-four
miles and serving approximately 1000
people. At the same time, Postmaster
Walter addressed letter, strongly
recommending the route, to the first
assistant postmaster general and sug-
gesting the establishment of two
routes instead of one; one to Tesuque,
Tesuque pueblo, Cuymungue, Tacoma,
San lldefonso, Hobarts, Nambe, Pojoa-
que and Santa Clara, and the other
to Aqua Fria, Cienega, Cieneguilla,
Kennedy and Galisteo, returning by
way of Cow Springs, Lamy and Glori-
eta. e.
The conditions for the establish
ment of such free rural delivery routes
are that the roads must be kept In
good condition; that the route should
serve at least 100 families and not
be longer than twenty-five miles. Upon
receipt of petition, favorably en-
dorsed by the delegate in Congress.
the postoffice department refers the
papers to the special agent in charge
of the division of rural delivery In
which New Mexico is situated. A
special agent from this division will
then be designated to visit the locality
indicated on the petition, to investi-
gate the conditions there and lay
out the route petitioned for, If, in
his Judgment, favorable recommen-
dation is advisable. The special agent,
in case he recommends the service,
will examine applicants for the posi-
ton of carriers in accordance with
the rules prescribed by the civil SER
vice commission.
In considering petitions for the es-
tablishment Of the service special
agents are instructed carefully to
study the situation as 1t exists, taking
into account such routes as will need
eventually to be established in order
that all the available territory In that
particular locality may be finally COM
pletely covered.
The establishment of such route
would be of great benefit to local busi-
ness men for it would tend to bring
business to the city from the surround
ing country much of which now goes
to distant mail order houses. It would
also help the cause of good roads and
would knit closer the bonds that ex
ist between Santa Fe and the sur
country.

new MEXICO AT PORTLAND.
Vice President w. 3. Bunker of tbs
Bureau of immigration Has Re-
turned from a Visit.

Hon. w. B. Bunker, Of Las Vegas
returned Tuesday evening from two
weeks visit to the Lewis and Clarl,
Exposition at Portland, Oregon. Mr..
Bunker enjoyed his visit to the fair
very much and, while there, he did
good missionary work for New Mex
leo. He distributed large number of
copies of the publications OF the
Bureau of immigration, of which he
is vice president, and also gave much
verbal information to persons who
applied to him to learn about New
Mexico. He was interviewed and sew
eral articles, descriptive of the Ter
ritory appeared in the Portland pa
pers as a result. "The Northwest is
great country" says Mr.. Bunker,
but, nevertheless, I believe that we
will get some immigration from that
section and that in the near future.
There are many people there for
whom the climate is too moist and too
!. dark and gloomy. | advised several
of them to come to the Land OF
Sunshine, and gave them bulletins On
the Territory, and | know that some
of these people are thinking seriously
of coming hither. In fact, | could have
distributed ten times the number Of
bulletins and booklets on New Mexi-
co had l had more such, and could I
have remained a month or six weeks
instead of ten days. There was great
interest shown in New Mexico by
the many who called upon me, and
printed matter concerning the Terri.
tory was eagerly sought and eagerly
read. | brought with me a large
number of addresses of persons to
whom the secretary of the bureau will
send printed matter for their infor.
nation. I was greatly pleased with
the country, but prefer the clear, dry,
healthy climate of our Territory, and
it's pleasant sunshine to the humid, ol-
though agreeable climates the
states of Washington and oregon,
which l visited. There are many con.
sumptives in those states and New
Mexico is being looked upon by many
of them as the country they should
come to to benefit themselves physic
ally. I had very enjoyable time bu
am glad to get back to our sum,
skies, our magnificent scenery ans
our pleasant surroundings. I tool
with me good sized trunk full o
booklets and pamphlets published b.
the Bureau of immigration and
brought home the trunk empty, hay
ing distributed every copy, something
in the neighborhood Of 1900 copies 0
the different publications of th'
Bureau of immigration.

Massachusetts, Animal an Adept at Re.
trievinn Game.

The fremen at the East street en-
CINE house have a black cat which is
remarkable for several things. 1t
possesses six toes on each foot, and
during the past year it has had about
two score and ten kittens which have
all had the same number of digits
The cat also has become a follower
OF the hunting game in more ways
than the average feline has aspired to-.
1t has an excellent record for hunting
rats and mice that can be found about
the premises, but it is also a hunter
after the fashion of dogs One of the
firemen takes trips into the neighbor-
Ing places for hunting birds, and
wherever he goes the cat is sure to be
with him. Whenever he brings down
any game the cat is there to claim the
quarry.
1t is said that the animal will follow
the person in question for miles in
order to get the game, and it cannot
be deceived, for as soon as one of the
fremen in the house starts out with
a sun the cat is always a faithful fol.
lower. Yesterday one Of these trips
was taken with some success, and the
cat seemed as pleased at the results
as was the hunter.-Springfel
