And Amusement nts.

j. M. c. Chaves, sheep raiser and
fruit grower, resident of Abiquiu, re-
turned last night from Albuquerque,
where he has been taking in the fair
and attending the sheep growers con-
yention. Mr.. Chaves says that the at.
tendance at the fair.is very large, and
that there are iaany people from all
parts of the Territory in the Duke
City. Albuquerque is certainly the
business place of New Mexico and a
rustling town." said Mr.. Chaves 81
am very agreeably surprised at its
growth and advancement. Our con-
ventiOn was success, and the Sheep
Growers Association will be organic
ed tomorrow. The sheep growers who
attended the convention meant bust
ness, and were very enthusiastic. They
are certainly among the best repre-
sentatives of the people of New Mex
leo, and engaged in one of its leading
industries. The fair exhibits are the
best ever had. Prize cattle and sheep
attracted much attention, and the
agricultural and fruit exhibits are
simply grand. San Juan County beats
the rest of the Territory in agricul.
tural exhibits, especially in fruit.
Some fine vegetables from the Estan-
cia Valley were also shown. am sor-
ry that the fruit growers of my Sec
ton of Rio Arriba County, namely the
Chama Valley, did not make fruit
exhibit. think we could have done
as we'll as did the fruit growers of
San Juan County, and in some instan,
ces better"

made in the settlement and building
up of the Pecos Valley, is simply re-
markable. The country is filled with
good hustling set of business men,
most of them young fellOws-that is
from a business standpoint, and they
are certainly full of energy and push
The farmers on the fertile lands, to
be found all over that section, are in
keeping with the spirit of the towns
and are bringing their ranches up to
the highest point of cultivation and
productiveness. In my line, as well as
in every line, trade in the Pecos Val
ley has been all that could be desired

fair while in Albuquerque, as | was
too much occupied with board duties
However, am satisfied that it is the
best and biggest ever held and be
lieve all who attend it, will bear out
the statement. Upon my return, about
a month hence, | will probably stop
at Santa Fe for short visit with my
friends. | think the climate here is
the finest ever saw, and it is good tC
