ALBUQUERQUE. N
TENS in the states and this depart
ment Of the territorial government
under Adjutant General r. A. Ford
is going to be graded up to the high
est standard and will not be a nonen-
tity as it has been heretofore gener-
ally speaking.
Legislature Not Stingy.
The legislature was not stingy and
while it looked for a time as though
the stand taken for economy, espe-
cially by the House, might result dis
astrously to several Of the higher ed
ucational Institutions as well as 20
several of the departments, the pro-
visions of the general appropriation
bill, and its rider the deficiency bill,
proved this alarm on the part of
some to be unwarranted. The two
oils carry about 100000, which will
not increase the territorial tax lexy.
All the institutions both educational
charitable and penal were literally
provided for and in some instances
substantial increases were made. In
addition $1,000 was appropriated for
a dry farming station in Quay county
on some school section yet to be Sc
lected and $4,000 more was approp-
rated to assist in strengthening the
curse of the Dry Cimarron river at
lsom, Union county.
