Commissioners Busy.
The boundary commissioners ap-
pointed by congress to survey the Tex
as-New Mexico boundary which was
so well discussed in the recent con-
gressional convention, have arrived
at Texico, Curry county and will be
busily engaged in their work. 1t Is
not thought likely that they will visit
this part of the country after their
work is over but will likely return at

port
Travelling in Buggy.
The Albuquerque Herald says: 'Ter-
ritorial Engineer C. D. Miller left this
morning for Ell Paso via the Canine
scenic route, for which he has been a
/, continual booster since the inception
of the scheme. Driving light buggy,
Mr.. Miller has journeyed from Ration
to this point, spreading enthusiasm
for the project. His route will run
through Belen, Los Lunas, Socorro,
San Antonio and ON to Ell Paso. Valen-
cia county is interested in the road.
he said, and Sandoval county is begin
ming to take interest in the project |
have no doubt that the southern coun-
ties will take it up, and then We may
see the completion of something very
fine in the way OF highway in a
short time. The work being done by
Bernalillo is among the most substan-
tial along the route, and nothing bet
ter could be asked for the New Mexico
highway"
Back From California.
Colonel E. G. Abbott has returned

sham and real battle. The sham bat

was that of Tia Juana between the
federal and rebel troops of Mexico.
Colonel Abbott said today: There
were 30 officers of the national guard
of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana,
Washington, Oregon, New Mexico and
Arizona, and for two weeks we re-
ceived military instruction. The man
euvers were of great interest and
think the trip was a very instructive
one
"We were stationed near San
Diego and we could see no less than
20 war vessels, several of them first
class. This was a very impressive
sight"
Colonel Abbott was a caller this
morning at the Office of Adjutant Gen
eral A. s. Brookes, who listened with
interest to the details of the trip
