HAD HOPED TO
WELCOME SENATOR'S
Patterson, of Colorado, Regrets That
He Could Not Meet Two Members
of Senate From New Mexico.

The following letter from Senator
Patterson of Colorado relating TO
the constitutional convention, has
been received.
United States Senate, Washington,
D. c., Feb. 5, 1907.
Hon. l.. Bradford Prince,
"My Dear Governor have been
watching events in New Mexico with
great deal of interest and ! was
pleased to learn that there are serious
thoughts Of holding constitutional
convention and preparing a draft of
constitution for submission to the next
Congress. 1t is a continued outrage
TO deny New Mexico statehood-state-
hood by itself or for itself-under
every rule and precedent of the gov
ernment and upon its own merits
alone. New Mexico is entitled to
statehood and. the next Congress
should grant it.
81 had hoped to take two Senators
by the hand from the State of New
Mexico here in the Senate Chamber
before my term expired. but ! am
denied the pleasure This very
much regret.
with sincere best wishes, l am,

But from tomorrow l am going to

investigators" he said, land maybe

PIONEER SOLDIER
DIES SUDDENLY
Patrick Lyons Of Taos Ends Long
Active Career-Cause OF Death
Not Known Here.

Mrs. Staplin, wife of Frank Stap-
lin, chief clerk Of the House of the
Thirty-seventh Legislative Assembly
received word late yesterday of the
sudden death of her father Patrick
Lyons which occurred on Sat
urday at his home in Taos. He
was nearly eighty years of age. Mr..
and Mrs, Staplin left today for Taos
to attend the funeral which will not
be arranged until they reach there,
The telegram did not state the
cause of Mr.. Lyons death, but 1t Is
supposed that it resulted from heart
failure as he was quite well last Fri
day when a letter was received from
Taos. :.
Besides Mrs. Staplin Mr.. Lyons is
survived by another daughter, Mrs.
A. M. Hoy Of Taos.
Patrick Lyons came to New Mexico
in 1856 from Montana as soldier in
a detachment of the regular army
which was sent to Santa Fe and later
to Fort Union. New Mexico. He par
ticipated in number of engagements
with the Indians and in several i'm.
portant battles of the Civil war serv-
ing his country as soldier for ten
years nearly all of which time when
not campaigning, he spent at Fort
Marcy. Santa Fe and at Fort Union
Mora County.
When the Civil war ended and the
hostile Indians had for the most part
been subdued, Mr.. Lyons left the army
and became a prospector. He was
one of the original locators of the
placer fields near Elizabethtown, Col
fax County. He made his home in
Colfax County for sixteen years, but
finally moved to Taos. For years he
conducted cattle ranch and mined,
but of late he has not been actively
engaged in any business.
His life had been an eventful one.
Born in Ireland Of poor parents he
came to America when but lad and
pushed West with an emigrant train.
He crossed the long trails to Montana
and underwent hardships of which the
youths of today know nothing.
Mr.. Lyons was well known in
northern New Mexico, especially
among the old soldiers, and it is with
universal regret that these friends
will learn that he has at last been
mustered out"

LEGISLATIVE POINTERS.

In legislative circles it is said that
the bill for the creation of Artesia
County will soon be introduced and
that strong effort will be made for
its passage.
Council bill No. SO, an act providing
for the assessment, levying and col
lection of taxes and to revise and
harmonze existing statutes pertain
ing to revenue, is lengthy bill. 1t
contains III sections and covers SO
pages of printed matter. The text
was principally prepared after careful
and exhaustive examination and in
vestigation of existing statutes by
Travelling Auditor Charles V. Stafford
The bill has been referred to the COM
mittee on finance of which Auditor
w. G. Sargent is chairman. The bill
contains many excellent provisions
and will receive careful consideration
The chances are that the bill will be
reported favorably by Mr.. Sargent.
A committee of well known citizens
of East Las Vegas reached the city
last evening, its members pledged tc
work for the passage of the bill in
trodltced by Representative Dennis
ton establishing the county of Gar
field with East Las Vegas as the coun
ty seat. The delegation consists OF
the following: Millard W. Browne
wholesale merchant; DR.. F. E. Olney
ax.mayor of the city and dentist; j
II. Stearns, George w. Ward, warden
of the Territorial Insane Asylum; H
G. Coors, dealer in lumber and build
ing material; D. T. Hoskins, cashier
Of the San Miguel National Bank; X
d. Goodall. mayor of the city of East
Las Vegas; G. C. Gise, connected witt
San Miguel National Bank, and J. X
Martin, city councilman. They are
very enthusiastic and seem to be very
determined. They are loaded witt
facts and figures and reasons why
Garfield County should be created
They desire hearings before the
Council and House Committees or
Counties, in order to place the claims
of their constituents on record anc
to demonstrate reasons for their de
sires and demands. They brought witt
them petitions signed by between
eight and nine hundred property own
ers and tax payers Of the proposed
new county, all favoring the division
of San Miguel County. In the mean
time, in order to give the situation
correctly, 1t is well to state that sev
eral prominent citizens of San MI
guel County opposed to any division
have been at work from the begin
ming of the Legislative Assembly ant
seem to have secured strong prom
ises against favorable action on thu
Garfield County bill. Compromise
have been talked of and may become
substantial,

OFFICIALS FINE
FINANCIERING
ACTING GOVERNOR AND DEPART
MENT HEADS HAVE SOLVED
DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

Acting Governor Mott-smith In con-
ference this morning with Treasurer
Campbell, Auditor Fisher, Land Com
missioner Pratt, Superintendent OF
Schools Babbitt and Attorney General
Hemenway, arrived at a satisfactory
solution of how to make $4,000 ex-
pand to $1GS,OOO. This sleight of hand
was made necessary by the fact that
the last Legislature made appropria-
lions for the expenditure of the bal
ance of the 1906 loan fund, remaining
uneXpended, which exceeded the
amount of this unexpended balance by
S16,14S.
This amount was made up without
cutting out any items of the appropria-
tion by a system of gathering up the
loose ends in other places, and an
agreement to shave down expenses in
certain lines where the money might
be available for the other uses.
For instance about $4,000 was saved
in the cancelling of the Nuuanu dam
contract, which can go to make up the
deficit, while it is expected that $4,000
or $4,000 may be saved by care from
the 100000 appropriation for exteu.
| sion of wharf system
This is one of the results of the
work which the Acting Governor hay
been doing for the past several weeks
in looking into the condition of tn,
| finances Of the Territory.
