One of the real big things this
year will be the Sheep and Wool
Growers convention which will
convene during Fair week, and
will undoubtedly be the largest
gathering of sheep men ever
held in the southwest. Hon.
Solomon Luna who has active
charge of the arrangements for
the coming convention has re-
ceived the credentials of some
thing like eight hundred dele
gates who will attend this con-
vention. Addresses will be made
by several of the heads of de-
partments of the bureau of AMI
NAL Industry and other promi-
nent men of the sheep industry.
This, along with the generous
purses put up for the various
races, and the thousand and one
other attractions for the week
should prove sufficient to draw a
crowd, the like of which has
never yet been witnessed at a
Duke City Fair.

SOCORRO PROGRESSING
City Water System, Street and
Bridges Continue to Occupy Mayor
Bursum's Attention,
PRINCIPAL STREETS GRADED
And New Bridges will Soon Take
the Places of Those Worn
Out.

Mayor Bursum has not in the
least relaxed his efforts i'm the
matter of city improvement.
The boring of the tunnel to i'm
crease the city's supply of water
is still in progress. but nearly
completed. The water supply is
now greater than the mains will
carry and is steadily increasing
Larger mains will probably re-
place those now in use in the
near future.
The beds of sand that were so
long nuisance about the plaza
have now been covered with "A
heavy layer of adobe. The
same kind of work is in progress
from the plaza down Manzanares
avenue. AS soon as this new
material is we'll packed vast inn
provement will have been
wrought in the condition of the
principal business streets of the
city. Mayor Bnrsum has arrang-
ed for a sprinkler and for a
means of paying man TO keep
the new streets in the proper
condition.
But this is not all. The sew
eral bridges within the city linn
its have been in dilapidated
condition, and the Mayor has un-
dertaken to raise the amount of
money necessary TO make them
more safe, substantial, and dura-
bic than they have ever been.
To say that Mayor Bursum has
undertaken such an enterprise
means nothing more nor less
than that the enterprise will be
carried to a successful issue.
When all these things have
been done, the end is not yet
for Socorro's mayor has still 9th

They will be made known in due

ACCUSED OF HORSE STEALING
But Says That He Appropriated the
Animal to Satisfy a debt.

Henry Thompson, a Young man
who was indicted by Socorro
county's last grand jury on the
charge of having stolen horse
from Tranquilino Jaramillo over
in the OScura mountains, was
captured a few days ago near
Silver City by mounted Policeman
h. G.. Putnam. Sheriff Leandro
Baca went to Silver City Satur-
day and returned Sunday with
Thompson in custody. The pris-
ouer says that he merely appro-
priated the horse in satisfaction
of a debt that Jaramillo owed
him and wouldn't pay. BE that
as it may, Thompson will doubt
less have to stand trial on the
charge of horse stealing.

Many buyers are here, but they are get
ing none of the staple. They hang bout
town spending money freely, but when
they talk about wool they have nothing
more to say than that the price asked IS
too high, insisting that nobody VOL buy
il at more than % cents. This has con-
tinUed so long that the growers have been
convinced there Is a combination among
the buyers. This impression has been
emphasized by the appearance here this
week of some men representing wool
manufacturers. These have taken some
lots at - and IS cents, but they seem tn
have secured all they wanted and have
gone The wool growers are now talking
of having meeting Of the state assOCis-

Ta0gemeuts for dealing directly with the
consumers Of the wool. and IL is likely this
will be done. IL is said IS per cent Of the
