VETERANS NOT FORG0TTEN
Despite Arduous Labors He
Finds Time to Look After
Their Wants.

The end OF the present session OF
the Sixtieth Congress Is nigh and SEN
ators and representatives are very
busy with important measures. Dele
gate w. II. Andrews Is also among
the very busy ones, as there are sew
eral bills of benefit to New Mexico
pending In which he Is greatly inter
ested and for the passage of which
he has worked strenuously and con-
stantly.
Among them Is the amendment to
the sundry civil bill appropriating
$4,000 for the maintenance and ex.
penses of the International Exhibi
tion In connection with the Sixteenth
National Irrigation Congress in Albu
querque in September; the appropria-
ton Of one hundred and thirty thou
sand dollars for federal building at
Roswell and an additional appropria-
ton of thirty thousand dollars for the
federal building at Albuquerque; the
creation of the seventh judicial dis
trict, and other bills of great import
ance which will prove of vast benefit
If passed
Despite the arduous labors depend
ent upon him in securing favorable
action upon these bills he finds time
to look after pension cases for de-
serving veterans to many of whom a
pension Is the greatest boon that can
be given them. Although up to the
neck in hard work for the big meas
ures now pending In Congress on be-
half of the territory he loses no time
in helping the poor and deserving vet
erans, widows and orphans. This is
remarkable record and should not be
forgotten by the people Of the Sun
shine Territory and especially by the
old soldiers.
The record received by the New
Mexican from It's Washington cores.
