Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 1.-THE state
convention of the Colorado democra-
cy has passed into history after three
days of turbulent and interesting ses-
sions, including two lengthy night
sessions.
AS a result of that convention, one
of the strongest state tickets ever Of
fered for the approval of the people
of Colorado has been named-a tick
ct on which all factions can unite,
and a ticket that will pull thousands
of independent votes in the state.
Although defeated for the nomina-
tion for supreme court justice to the
bitter disappointment of thousands
of admiring friends and loyal demo-
Gratis throughout the state, Hon.
Samuel N. Wheeler of Grand juno
tion was made one of the six demo-
cratic presidential electors for the
state of Colorado.

THE BOND BILL PASSED
$4,000 Appropriation to the
School Of Mines Was Validat-
ed Yesterday at Noon,
THIS INSURES A DORMITORY
Hon. W. H. Andrews and Governor
George Curry Telegraph the
News to Socorro.

The New Mexico School of
Mines will soon have fifteen
thousand dollors at its disposal
for permanent improvements.
The act of the last legislative
assembly appropriating that
sum for the benefit of the School
was validated by congress yes
terday noon, and the money will
now be available as soon as the
necessary territorial bonds can
be issued and sold.
1t is the present plan to ex-
pend the money in the erection
of dormitory for the accommo-
dation of students. Nothing
that could be done with the
money would supply more
urgent need nor therefore be of
greater benefit to the institution.
This will make it possible to Of
fer prospective students rooms
and board at a much less cost
than that for which it is possi-
bic for them to obtain the same
accommodations now. 1t is but
reasonable to believe that the re-
suit will be a large increase in
the enrolment at the School, as
the item of living expenses in
Socorro has heretofore worked to
the great disadvantage of the
School of Mines as compared
with other territorial educational
institutions. The dormitory will
probably be ready for occupancy
at the beginning of the next
school year in September.
Hon. w. II. Andrews is enti-
tied to much credit for his watch
fulness in seeing that the bond
bill came forward promptly in
the course of events in congress.
Governor Curry and other influ-
entail friends of New Mexico
also lent their aid. Delega ate

1t was at about eleven o'clock
that the fire broke out under the
wooden walk leading to the out
side stairway on the east side of
the building. The flames quick

and in at the door on the second
floor SO quickly, in fact, that
when the hose company arrived

making rapid headway in the in
terror of the building. Attorney

THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS
The Socorro District Makes the
Best Showing for the Year
South of Denver.

Capt. 7. ]. Matthews, mana
ger for the telephone company
for the Socorro district, has rea-
son to feel very much gratified
over the rank his report for the
last year has taken. General
Manager E. M. Burgess of Den
yer writes Captain Matthews
the report from this district
shows a more gratifying condi-
tion of business than that in any
other district south of Denver.
Mr.. Burgess adds, 1T is certain
ly very good showing and l
shall keep these figures strictly
confidential" Evidently the peo-
pie of Socorro and vicinity have
no especial reason to complain of
bad business conditions here as
compared with those in other
parts of the great southwest.

THE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY
It Has Done Much for Colorado
and Will Do As Much for New
Mexico.

The Colorado sugar beet par
ties who we're to be in Socorro
Yesterday in company with rep
resentatives of the industrial de-
partment of the Santa Fe rail-
road company finally wired c. II.
Brown from Albuquerque that
they had been prevented from
coming further south and asked
Mr.. Brown to meet them up the
road the first of next week.
There is scarcely a doubt that
the growing of sugar beets will
be introduced in the Rio Graude
valley and there is scarcely a
doubt either that the growing
of the beets will pay better than
any other industry now engaged
in here. The average yield per
acre is fifteen tons and the price
not less than four dollars per
ton. The expense does not ex-
ceed twenty dollars per acre.
What this industry might be ex-
pected to do for New Mexico is
indicated by what it has done
for Colorado. Four years ago
Colorado had one beet sugar fac
tory and now the nineteenth is
in process of construction and
the total cost of the factories and
accessories is fiftv millions of
dollars. The growing of sugar
beets is an industry that the peo-
pie of New Mexico would do we'll
to encourage.

City of Mexico Shaken.

A press dispatch of yesterday
from Mexico City says that Chi
lapa, a town of fifteen thousand
inhabitants in the state of Guer-
rero, has been shaken by an earth
quake and burned. According to
the dispatch, the shocks, two in
number, occurred early Thurs
day evening and were followed
by fires, which, originating in a
dozen places among the tumbling
buildings, joined in a conflagra-
tion that swept the town. The
same shock was recorded in the
city of Washington, two thousand
miles away, and in Mexico City
walls were cracked, but no serious
damage done.
