Birmingham has a splendid series of city parks so far as natural beauty and location are concerned, and if the city will have plans made for their ultimate development, so that money available for park purposes can be systematically and wisely spent, there is no reason why Bir- beautiful city in the south"

and the Ladies of the G.. a. r.. were
present in a body. They marched to
the church in military order and sat
i'm the center of the auditorium,
where space had been reserved for
them.
The church was fttingly draped
with American flags in honor Of the
national day of mourning and the
services were adjusted to meet the
spirit of the occasion. The auditor
ium was completely filled and some Of
the congregation had to stand. The
church choir rendered appropriate
music and the congregation Joined
heartily in the singing of the national
hymn at the closing of the service.
Rev. John c. Rollins, d. D., the
pastor, delivered the Memorial SER

your fathers in time to come, saying,
What mean these stones?' then ye
shall let your children know"

disparage the recent Spanish-Ameri-
can misunderstanding" as he termed
it. He said, in effect:
Here is a nineteen-year-old yorth
who cannot raise mustache, yet we
call him a veteran. There was not
an engagement in the whole Spanish
American war which can be compared
to a picket fight in the civil war"

THE PASSING OF SAN
FELIPE De NERI
DAY
Old albuquerque in Gala
Array-SaCred Rites We're
Solemnly Observed.

To do honor to the patron saint Of
the church of San Felipe de Nerl. an
Old Albuquerque, throngs of people
from all the surrounding country
flocked to the ancient church yester-
day. The street car service was
taxed to its utmost capacity all day
long. Early in the morning the
crowds commenced to arrive and all
were in gala attire. 1t was not only
for the occasion-Americans were al
most as numerous. 1t is estimated
that over 1000 persons were carried
by the street cars yesterday.
During the day the several services
in the old church were conducted
with great solemnity and before
bodies of worshippers which filled
the church to overlooking. For two
hundred years or more this annual
fiesta has been celebrated in honor
OF san Felipe. but never before has
such a large number gathered to par
ticipate in the ceremonies as the
throng of yesterday.
The plaza of old town was decorat-
ed with flags and arches wrapped in
bunting; the First Regiment band
was kept busy almost the entire day
playing. Religious services were not
the only events of the day-games
and merrymaking were a part of the
celebration also. Early in the aft
ernoon there were lively sports.
The creased pig was turned loose, but
so great was the threng of youngsters
about that he did not have a fair
chance for his freedom. There was
a gallinoS (chicken) race which al
most resulted in a fight, because two
contestants got hold of the poor
fowls neck at the same time and
each claimed it. There was the
creased pole and the greasy kids who
attempted to climb it; there was
horse racing, foot racing and dancing
the old town city hall was opened
and from noon to midnight the
strains of the waltz and barsoviana
were continuously heard-the bale
was on
At o'clock in the afternoon came
the most solemn feature of the days
program, the procession of Sar
Felipe. Headed by Isidro Sandovai
the marshal of the day, the process
sion issued from the church. The
marshal carried a large American
flag and directly behind him came
the First Regiment band. Then fol-
lowed an escort of the national guard
several religious organizations er
masse, priests and choir boys in cere'
monial garb, a band of young girl:
who sang sacred music and a larg,
number of old men and women
wearing emblems of the various so
dalities. There must have beer
nearly a thousand persons marching
in the procession. With the banners
and sacred ensigns of the church
held aloft and the music and man!
colors, the parade was picturesque
and impressive.
The speeches by prominent NATIVE
citizens, which were to have been de
livered at the plaza in the evening
had to be dispensed with on account
OF the wind storm.

CATCHING RAINBOW
TROUT FIFTEEN
INCHES LONG
Noble Says That Fishing at
Valley Ranch Is the
Best Yet.

1--WE are catching them from
twelve TO fifteen inches long" said
Laz Noble. the proprietor Of the IA
nous Valley Ranch on the upper
Pecos. where all true disciples Of
Isaac Walton go angling.
"The cold weather has had some
effect on trout fishing, but still
there are plenty Of beauties being
taken out at the Valley Ranch. The
best work is being done with flies
just now. The season has Just OPEN
ed and the crowds have not begun to
come yet. The outlook for a good
fishing season is very favorable.
"Since the stocking Of the streams
a few years ago by the government
the fish have Increased greatly. There
are plenty of Rainbow, speckled and
native trout this year
I'VE can accommodate twenty FIVE
guests at the ranch at present and
we expect to keep the rooms fun all
summer. We have recently acquired
the old Sparks ranch fifteen miles
from the Valley Ranch and there we
can provide for fifteen more people.
wv. F.. Griffith, territorial game
warden. and Page Otero. former
game warden, are now out our way
looking into the game conditions.
Taking sportsmen as guests Is
only side issue with us, although
that part of our business has brought
us the most fame. We raise cattle
on a large scale and also alfalfa and
grain to feed the stock during the
winter. We are grazing our cattle on
the Pecos forest reserve and they are
doing splendidly. The ranges are in
fine condition, especially in the gov
ernment reserves

MISS SINGLETON
VISITS ALBUQUERQUE
Young Lady, Who is "a Government
Employe i'm Cuba, Says Americans

Island.

cuba is a very delightful place."
said Miss Ann Singleton, an employe
OF the United States government, who
is registered at the Alvarado.
During the last year more than
5000 Americans from every state and
territory have immigrated TO Cuba,
engaging in practically every line of
business on the island. Plantations
are run by Americans, railroads are
controlled by Americans, hotels,
stores, stables. restaurants and even
schools are operated by Americans.
ITO come down to the gist of il,
the island is being Americanized.
While the radical Cubans are oppos-
ing the movement, the better class
are accepting the conditions as they
come, and saying nothing"
Miss Singleton is away on several
months leave of absence, and after
visiting all the places of interest in
New Mexico, she will return to
Havana.
