The new ball grounds east Of
the track will have their try-out
next Sunday afternoon, when
the Willard and Moriarty teams
will cross bats here. The
grounds have been thoroughly
worked and put in fair condition.

tually help the settling Of the
soil, but this will all come. Es-
tancia boys expect to have in a
very short time the backgrounds
in the county.
The grounds will be enclosed
at once, probably in time for
next Sundays game. A commit
tee has solicited funds for this

If anyone has been sighted, he
may call on Messrs. Rousseau,
Scott or Stubblefeld.

TEHCHERS FOR
NEXT TERM
Local School Board Names Tea
chers for Estancia Schools

The schoolboard of Estancia
has chosen the teachers for the
coming term of school, and while
contracts have not as yet been
signed, all have signifed their
intention of accepting the posi-
tions. 10. Hughes, formerly
of Cameron, Texas, will have the
principals position at a salary of
eighty-fve dollars per month.
The assistants will be Miss Min
ME Laws, Miss Zella Roberts and
Mrs. Edna Ford at salaries of
fifty dollars per month each.
Misses Roberts and Laws are re-
employed, having held their po-
sitions last year. Mrs. Ford has
been resident of our little city
for some time, and has before
coming to the valley held good
positions and given entire salts
faction. Mr.. Hughes is an ex.
perienced teacher of rare ability
and will no doubt give the same
satisfaction here he has given in
his former home.
The new building will be ready
for occupancy at the beginning
of the term, and the school days
will be more pleasant as well as
more profitable to both teachers
and pupils. The highest grade
Of work could not possibly have
been accomplished under the
crowded conditions of the past
years.

GOOD rain
TUESDAY
General Rain Throughout Valley
Does Inestimable Good.

Tuesday morning Of this week
the hearts of the people were
gladdened, when they were
awakened by hearing the gentle
patter of the rain on the roofs.
While the dry weather was not
affecting the old timers to- any
degree, a number of the more
recent comers were finding their
faces growing longer each day
that failed to bring rain. But
Tuesday the faces shrunk to
about half the size they had been
the day before. The rain fell,
not in gusts and torrents, but a
gentle pitter-patter so well liked
by the farmers. Every drop was
taken up by the soil, and will be
retained, the soil in almost all
cases being in a fine tilth of cul-
tivation.
AS far as we have been able to
learn the rain was quite general
over the valley, except that
there was not so heavy q precip-
itation to the southwark. AT Es-
tancia the precipitation was a
little more than half an inch, or
fifty-three -hundredths. No
doubt more will follow shortly,
the weather having remained
warm. This will cause the germi-
nation Of the seed in the ground,
and the quick growth Of that
which has come up.

Golden Jubilee

St Michaels College at Santa
Fe, will celebrate its Golden
Jubilee, the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary of Its founding on June 10,
20 and q of this year. The Sec
retary has sent circular letters
to all the former students Of the
institution, as far as their address
es are available, and to the news
papers, asking their cooperation
in giving the matter publicity
and securing the attendance of
all former students possible.
St. Michael's College was es-
tablished by the Christian Bro
theirs a half century ago, and
has accomplished a great work,
especially among the native
youth Of the territory. Many a
citizen Of the territory, now
holding a responsible position,
could not have attained the meas
ure Of success he has, had it not
been for the years spent under
the instruction of the Brothers
at Santa Fe.
The gathering promises to be
of more than passing interest,
not only to the student body, but
to the citizens of the territory as
well,
