Among the applicants for positions

neros of Ranchitos de San Juan for a
minor position among the employees.
Florenco Luna, member-elect of the
House of Representative from DOna
Ana County. arrived in the capital
from the south at noon today. While
Mr.. Luna was elected on the Demo
cratic ticket, he is still considerable
OF Republican, as he has affiliated
with that party for many years and
until recently.
The pressure of applicants for posi-
tions with the assembly upon members
is very great, but it is not as strong
and as unrelenting as it has been dur
ing the past six or eight Legislative
Assemblies, as the news had gone
forth that economy was to be practiced
in the matter of extra employees. Still
the pressure is in all truth great
enough.
The people of Portales would like
a branch agricultural station estab.
lished at their town. They claim, and
that with some justice that many
hardy vegetables, grains and fruit
trees could be grown in that section
successfully without irrigation and
that experiences should be made there
to establish this claim. The people
there know what they want and are
not backward in asking for it.
Among applicants for positions from
the northern part of the Territory are
Pedro Sanchez, of Ocate, Mora Coun-
ty, as engrossing and enrolling clerk
of the House of Representatives and
CorneliO Chaves also of Ocate, for a
minor position in the House. They |
will have the backing of Representa-
tive Cristoval Sanchez. who will advo- |
cate their claims in tomorrow's House |
caucus.
David Dessinger of Hillsboro, life |
long Republican and an old resident of
Sierra County is candidate for ap-
pointment as doorkeeper or sergeant |
alarms of the House of Representa-.
tives. Mr.. Dessinger is a veteran of
the Civil War and has done good SER
vice for his party ina Sierra County |
which is generally Democratic. Repre-
sentative-elect Williams from that
will push Mr.. Dessinger's |
claims in the caucus tomorrow.
1t is understood that both Houses OF
the Legislative Assembly will meet
next will elect officers, and
chief clerks and then adjourn out of
respect to the memory of the late
