DEATH OF J. II. HILTON
Old and Respected Citizen and
Business Man of Soeorro Gone
To His Reward.

The death of ]. II. Hilton at
his home in Socorro at two
o'clock Monday morning did not
come as surprise TO relatives
or friends here. Mr.. Hilton had
been afflicted with cancer of the
stomach for months. The pro-
gress of the disease could not be
STAYED and the result was OBJ
vious and inevitable. The. fu-
neral services from the residence
Tuesday afternoon were among
the most largely attended in the
city in recent years. This was
but a natural expression OF the
very high respect and esteem in
which Mr.. Hilton was held dur
ing the many years of his resi-
dence and business career in So
zorro. The members of the af-
flicted family have the heartfelt
sympathy of very large circle of
friends in the city and vicinity.
Jacob Hansen Hilton was born
at Kloften, UllenSaker county,
Norway, March 4, 1855. His
parents were Hans Jacobsen and
Anne Hilton. Deceased came to
the United States in 1877 and in
1881 settled in Socorro, where he
resided continuously until death
claimed him. He was married
October 10, 1888, to Miss Emily
Kornitzer of this city. Five
children were born of the union,
four of whom survive to share
the mothers grief.

CITY SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY
The City School Buildings Have
Been Thoroughly Cleansed and
All Are in Readiness.

Professor Twining, principal
of the city schools, requests the
publication of the following:
The public schools will open
next Monday morning at 900
sharp. At the first ward there
will be grades from one to eight.
At the second ward three grades
OF work will be done.
The principal and teachers
wish to emphasize the impor-
tance of prompt enrolment of
every child who wishes to get
best results from the years work.
The school board has taken
much pains to see that the build
ing and grounds were put in
good condition, and the janitors
have washed and thoroughly
cleaned every room. We are be-
ginning on the sanitary plan and
wish to make our schools health
full, attractive and progressive. "

DEATH OF PORFIRIO SANCHEZ
Died Suddenly of Heart Failure.
Funeral at Magdalena Thursday
Was Largely Attended.

The startling announcement
was received in Socorro Tuesday
evening that Porfirio Sanchez
had suddenly died near his home
in Magdalena of heart failure.
Mr.. Sanchez was a we'll known
and highly respected citizen of
Socorro county and his loss will
be felt by many besides his inn
mediate relatives and friends.
He had been engaged in a sue
cessful mercantile business in
his home town for six or eight
years. The funeral services in
Magdalena Thursday morning
were very largely attended and
all business houses were closed
at that time in honor of the
memory of the deceased.

THE SCHOOL OF MINES
The Next Years Work Will Begin
on the Morning Of Monday.
September IA.
LARGE ATTENDANCE ASSURED
The New Dormitory Will Add Much
to Comfort and Convenience
of Students

The School of Mines will be
opened for the beginning of the
work OF the institutions sixteenth
year on the morning of the
fourteenth The School was un-
fortunate in the loss of three eX-
cellent instructors from it's facul-
ty at the close of last years work,
but others have been secured who,
it is believed, will render equally
as good service as their predeces:
Sors did. The prospect that there
will be an increased enrolment
OF students is very gratifying.
In fact, it is now quite certain
that the enrolment of last year
will be increased by a consider
able percentage. The new dor
mitory is fast nearing compile
ton and will be ready for oc-
cupancy shortly after the Begin
ming of the years work. This
will add greatly to the comfort
and convenience of students.
The prospects for the next wear
at the School of Mines are most
excellent.

SECOND ANNUAL FAIR
All Officers and Committees Are
Working Hard to Be in Full
Readiness.
PROSPECTS ARE EXCELLENT
The Foir Will Begin with a Big
Whoop and Hurrah and End
with a Bigger.

Socorro's county's second an
nual fair is going to be a hum
mer, aud there is no question
about it.
The fair will begin and end
with big whoop and hur-
rah, and there will be no inter-
mission.
Every officer and all the COM
mitteeS are busily engaged at
the hard work of getting every
thing in readiness for the open
ing day. The prospect that each
one will fully accomplish the
task assigned him is now ex-
celleut.
1t was hoped that the full pro-
gram would be ready for publi-
cation in this issue of the Chief
tain, but there has been a little
unavoidable delay in that regard.
II will be published by the county
papers next week. Meanwhile it
will be printed in dodger form
and thousands of copies will be
distributed. Look for them the
very first of next week.
Let it be remembered that
Governor Curry will be in Socor-
70 on the morning of Monday,
September 2l, To give the fair its
formal opening, as he did last
year. The prospect is that the
governor will be greeted by a
much greater crowd than the
great one of year ago and that
the fair will be in every way a
much gseater success.

DELEGATE ANDREWS LETTER
Believes That Boon of Statehood
Will Be Grapted Within the
Coming Year.

What Delegate Andrews has
to say concerning statehood in
his letter of acceptance is we'll
worth the careful consideration
of every voter in the territory.
Citizens of New Mexico have
good reason to know what Mr..
Andrews means when he pledges
his "unceasiug efforts" for state
hood. What Mr.. Larrazolo
would do or could do in that re-
gard is purely a matter of con-
lecture. Mr.. Andrews letter is
as follows.
Albuquerque. Aug. 27, 1908.
To the people of New Mexico:
In accepting this, the third
nomination for delegate to con-
gress rendered me by the repub-
licaus of New Mexico, | desire to
express my very cordial appre-
citation of the honor thereby con-
ierred and to reiterate my most
earnest assurances that, if elect
ed, my every endeavor shall be
subject to the call of all citizens
of the territory regardless of ma
tivity, creed or party.
i subscribe to and stand
ready to support or work for leg
islation to enforce every plank
in the republican platform, ma
tional and territorial.
At this time, however, it is
my desire to call particular and
especial attention to the subject
of statehood-as to the deSira-
bility of which there can be no
question among our people-and
/ take this opportunity to APP
peal to every loyal New Mexican
for support upon that issue.
1t is my earnest, honest be-
lief that a republican congress
and president will grant us this
boon within the coming year,
and for the securing of the full
measure of liberty, SO dear to
every American heart, ! pledge
my best and my unceaSing efforts.
Very sincerely,
wv. II. ANDREWS,
Delegate from New Mexico"
