can Chances Good.
Judge h. d. Morse, of Santa Rosa,
spent yesterday in the city en- route
from Albuquerque, where he has at
tended the Republican Territorial Cen
trail Committee meeting as a member
from Guadalupe County, to his home
at the county seat of the latter coun-
ty. Judge Morse is the proprietor of
Inc Santa Rosa Sun, a paper publish
ed In the English and Spanish langu-
ages, and which mas a considerable
circulation in Guadalupe County.
In his section there is so far little
interest taken in the statehood ques.
tion; numbers Of the native people do
not look very favorably upon Joint
statehood, but thinks Judge Morse,
there may be change in sentiment
by election day, if proper work is
done and if the people are better in
formed of the real meaning and the
provisions Of the Hamilton Joint state
hood law.
"The Republican campaign manag-
ers must get to work in Guadalupe
County" said the judge. There is
much to be done, both along the lines
Of carrying Tie statehood proposition
and for the Republican legislative and
county tickets to be nominated short
ly. am of the opinion that Guada-
lupe County this year will elect Re-
publican candidates to Office, and if
the joint statehood question is
promptly and energetically presented
this may carry, although | am not
sanguine about it. Leading Demo-
Gratis of the county are against Joint
statehood and it may be that the
Democratic voters there will vote
against the question.
Steady improvement in Stnta Rosa.
"The town of Santa Rosa is improv-
ing slowly, but steadily. Contracts
have just been let for the construction
Of ten new houses to De used as resi-
dences for railroad employees station
ed In town. Other improvements are
contemplated and by next spring
believe over twenty new houses will
have been constructed and will be
occupied. Division headquarters of
the FL Paso & Southwestern Railroad,
and of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad, are fixed at Santa
Rosa, and this fact has given our town
permanency which is proving of
benefit. More people are coming in
and business is fair. George w. Har-
bin, the Iowa immigration agent, who
has done much to induce immigration
into the Estancia Valley has now turn.
ed his attention to Guadalupe County
and already three parties of immi'
grants have visited Santa Rosa and
the public lands in the county. A num-
Der of these have made homestead
entries.
Live Stock in Fine Condition in
! Guadalupe.
'Live stock has never been in bet
ter condition in our section than thi:
year, and sheep growers and cattle
raisers are we'll satisfied with the re-
suit and present conditions. Cattle
are going out of Guadalupe County
and the number of sheep there is on
the increase. The crops in the irri
gated portions of the Pecos Valley
tributary to Santa Rosa are very good
and fruit has done splendidly."
Judge Morse has been a resident o1
New Mexico for over nine years hav
ing first come to Taos County from
Denver, of which city he was resi-
dent for a number of years, and where
he held the position of judge Of the
city court for two years. Since his
arrival in New Mexico he has resided
in Taos and Colfax Counties and fol
the last four years in Santa Rosa. He
has recently returned from visit tt
his old home *, New Jersey where

convention, should such one be held
