will become law. We absolutely mex
new buildings. The want Of these has
hampered the advance. and growth O
the New Mexico Military Institute
very much. Especially great is tn,
need of a now academic building; hat
we such a one the regents could take
the building now used for academic
purposes and urn it into barracks
Upon the passage of the bill in Con
gress validating the action of the New
Mexico Assembly, 1 am sure that the
Territory will be able to sell the bonds
at a handsome rate and from the pro
ceeds the buildings that will be nee
essary should be erected although
fear that the amount will not be sufh
cielt n our people would greatly
like n would fully appreciate an ap
preparation of $4,000 by the present
Assembly for h construction of the
buildings absolutely necessary at the
Institute. 1 have talked to a number
of the Councilmen and members OF
the House and 1 find that the senti
ment is very favorable and friendly to
our educational institution of which
we are justly proud and which is a
credit to the entire Territory. 1 have
done all the work 1 possibly could to
obtain pledges for an additional ap.
preparation but cannot say that l have
received absolute assurance. Still the
situation looks very bright and 1 hope
that our friends and the friends OF
education generally in the Assembly
and out of it will help us to obtain
what we desire.
Views on County Division.
LAS to county division and the ere
alton of the county of Artesia; l nave
lived long enough in the Pecos Valley
to without egotism that l am pref
ty well acquainted with its conditions,
and people. l think that our
people generally will be willing to give
the people of what is called the Ar
tesla section their wishes as to a new
county as Don as public opinion is
satisfied that it should be done. This
point in my opinion has not yet been
reached and l believe it will be for the
best interests of all concerned, even
Artesia people were haste be made
slowly in the case and were no favor
able action of the bill providing for
the creation of the county of Artesia
taken at this time. Should the Terri
tory be made a state within the next
two years, l hope that there will be
a proviso in the constitution providing
that whenever AID wherever there is
a section in the Territory that has suf-
ficient taxable wealth to properly sup
port a county government and has the
necessary population, e counties
should be created out of such Sec
tions, provided a majority of all tax
payers interested vote in favor there
This view is very prevalent thro-
out the Pecos Valley and is one of
reasons why we want no change
at this time. We believe it will not
hurt the people of Artesia and sur
rounding section to wait another twen-
ty months for what they desire.
Should it then become apparent that
in right n il justice they are enti-
tied to a new county I certainly would
beS one of those to aid them to OBJ
tain it.
Another thing: l think as many
people as can possibly make the trip
should take the voyage from here to
Roswell and return via the Santa Fe
Central and the Automobile line. The
latter is very celebrating and agree
able. OF course. if a passenger should
strike a windy or rainy day he will
enjoy the trip as he otherwise
but upon the whole it will be an
experience that will be found pleas
ant and pleasing to every traveller
who undertakes it. The automobile
trip give one a great appetite and at
Needmore the half way house, it is
astonishing what and how much one
eat. Generally speaking people
three times what they would ordi-
narily eat. The rapid drive and the
conditions surrounding it give one an
appetite SUCH as a man ordinarily en-
gagged in a city vocation would never
have."-New Mexican.
