Miss Anita Baca Re.
ceives Prize for
Name

DR.. John P. Wagner u.
dent That Structure Will
Soon Be Reality.

The competition prize for name
for the new hotel, which was Of
fered by Dr.. John P. Wagner, has
been awarded to Miss Anita Baca.
the name selected being Hotel De
Vargas. Many names were presented
by quite number of persons, and
the name De Vargas was also sug-
gested by several of the competitors.
The prize has been awarded to Miss
Anita Baca for the reason that her
communication was the first received
suggesting the name and she being
the only one who complied strictly
with the requirements governing the
competition by writing an essay in
which was set forth the reasons why
the hotel should be named De Vargas.
1t is to be regretted that some of
the competitors for the prize did not
sign their communication and that
they did not comply with the require
ments governing the competition.
In selecting the name De Vargas,
it has to be said, that no more appro-
pirate name could have been select
ed inasmuch as Don Diego De Var
gas played such an important part
in the history Of Santa Fe and the
Territory of New Mexico in general.
General De Vargas reconquered New
Mexico and entered Santa Fe on
September 18th, 1892, and before en-
tering the city of Santa Fe with his
little squad of soldiers made pledge
to the Virgin Mary that he would
erect chapel on the site OF his
camp, if he met with success and
made a solemn VOW that the image
of the Blessed Virgin would once
year thereafter be carried in trlum'
phal procession through the streets
of Santa Fe. 1t is we'll known that
this pledge has been religiously kept
by the Catholic church of Santa Fe'
1t is also pleasing thought that such
palatial monument should be erect

who had reconquered the city OF
Santa Fe over three hundred years
ago, and that his name should be
perpetuated on the land mark of his
triumphant campaign.
The winner of the prize, Miss Anita
Baca, was born in Santa Fe and IS
a daughter of Hon. r. L. Baca, MEM
ber of the last Legislative Assembly,
and numbers among the Oldest faml'
lies of New Mexico.
In awarding the prize Mr.. Wagner

the anniversary is particularly sad un.

has never known a moments real

efforts which have been made by King

just now, though it is not certain that

HISTORIC TREES ARE PASSING.
Little Care Taken to Preserve Nation.
al Mementoes at Washington.

Old inhabitants of Washington were
saddened the other day when the high
wind overturned the famous silver
spruce which stood guard near the
north gate of the White House ever
since Old Hickory planted it in the
latter days of his administration. The
tree has been slowly dying for years
and in the hollow trunk gray squirrels
had made a perfect tenement. At
least six families were evicted by the
fall OF the silver spruce, but they
have found homes in some boxes
which Mrs. Roosevelt had fastened to
some nearby trees. 1t is doubtful
whether this tree could have been
saved, though Jackson enthusiasts
now express great indignation that it
vas permitted t. languish.
1t seems strange that with the mil
lions of dollars which the government
spends on trees and forestry problems
SO little success is discernible in
saving the historic trees of the capital.
Some of the most beautiful as we'll as
historic trees have died within the
past five years right under the nose,
so to speak, of Clifford Pinchot, tree
specialist. Other countries save their
historic trees, as witness the veneer
able cypress under which Tasso medi-
tated during his exile to Rome. It
has been tenderly nurtured and guard
ed by the Italian government and iron
props and all name of stays are be-
tween it and the fury of the winds
on the Janiculum hill. 1t is now
so hoary and SO visibly old that it is
really one of the most touching sights
in Rome. In Washington trees plant
ed by Jefferson, by Alexander Hamil.
ton, by John Marshall and Daniel
Webster have been %uprooted or have
fallen the prey to plant enemy. For
theories the government is probably
in the lead of all other governments
on forestry questions, but as judged
from results seen in saving historic
trees of Washington, that is another
story.

BRAVE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE,
Experiences Of the Crew of Wrecked
Whaling Vessel.

The story of the crew of a whaling
vessel wrecked off Cape Parry in a
drifting fog is given in Mr.. A. H. Har-
rison's book, in Search of a Polar
Continent" The Alexander at the
;lme was steaming at full speed, and
when first it struck, the crew, not
seeing anything in front of them,
thought they had cOllided with a
piece of drifting ice; but on striking
with water, SO they hardly had time to
rush to the boats, which they had great
difficulty in lowering.
1t was then that Capt. Tilton nearly
lost his life. He was the last mar
20 leave the ship. and just as the boats
were being pushed off, he jumped from
the vessel, but missed the stern Of
the boat, and fell into the sea. Luck
lily, however, he managed to catch a
iOpe that was thrown to him, but it
was not without difficulty that he was
pulled into the boat when he had
been dragged alongside.
The mist was SO dense that they
had no idea of their locality, but on
reaching the shore they saw the rocky
hcadland of Cape Parry looming over
them, and then they knew that they

along a barren and deserted coast
line in open boats, and probably in
a raging sea.
This wreck occurred on August 16,
yet on August 26 they arrived at Her.
schel island, every one of them strong
II well, and no whit the worse for
his adventure. They made the whole
journey through rough seas and
through gales of wind. Every stitch
on their backs was constantly
drenched.
Of supplies they carried only that
scanty portion which a whale boat al
ways has on hand for an emergency;
Of such duration.
Every now and then they had to put
ashore to find fresh water and to
snatch a few winks of sleep, and I
can answer for it that putting ashore
here is no easy matter, for there are
many miles of coast line along which
it is almost impossible to find a place
for landing in a strong wind.
These men doggedly held on their
course, crossing two large bays, Frank.
lin bay and Liverpool bay, until at last
they reached the Mackenzie delta, and
keeping we'll to seaward of this, they
arrived in a storm which prevented
ships from putting to sea.
They had made a fine, heroic effort.
1t had been a case of do or die with
every one Of them, and they had car
ried on a desperate and %unceasing
struggle, and had accomplished an
average daily journey of 40 miles in
an open boat.

gracefully and kept her eyes on his

she took a cross-town car in an
alarmed hurry, lest he might follow
her and find out where she lived.
Markham, however, had scarcely re-.
marked the girl. He strolled to the
club and dined later at home. His
wife, in a pale velvet dinner-gown that
became her languid grace greeted him
IN the salon. Standing in the chas-

was very gratifying to any mans
pride. Philip Markham bowed to her
calamity.
