Activity.

Mrs. w. ]. Mills received a tele-
gram this morning from Governor
Mills, stating that in his judgment the
senate would by this evening pass
the Andrews joint resolution, approv-
ing the New Mexico constitution, and
that he will start for New Mexico
some time tomorrow.
This was the first statehood news
received this morning and its optimis-
tic tenor brought joy to the state
hood boosters.
For the Treasury.
Territorial Treasurer NJ. A. Otero
has received that $4,000 check from
the board of county commissioners of
Bernalillo county for the reconstruc-
ton of the Albuquerque road. He al
so received the following: from
Tito Melendez, treasurer of Mora
county, S38O.71; from j. D. Martinez,
treasurer of Taos county, $79,46, and
from Game and Fish Warden Thomas
P. Gable, $3.50.
Notary Appointed.
Acting Governor Nathan Jaffa has
appointed William c. Ball of East
Vaughn, Guadalupe county, notary
public.

yesterday at the local land Office:
Walter E. Vassar, Mountainair; Emily
P. Howe, Sanchez; Charles NJ.
Johnson, Santa Fe; Joseph W. Dob
bins, Pennington; Ventura Baca,

Road Work.
The board of county commissioners
through Chairman l. Sparks and Sher-
iff Charles Closson, are to be COM
mended for the way they have taken
hold of the road situation in Santa Fe
county. A well directed movement
by the county commissioners in any
county is sure to meet with popular
approval and obtain assistance.
The county commissioners have
arranged with the road commission
to drag the road from Santa Fe to
La Bajada Hill as soon as the ground
is in proper condition. Owing to re-
cent rain and snowfall now is GER
tainly the time in which this work
should be done. The good roads COM
mission will lend the county the use
of the new drag and will furnish
necessary supervision for the proper
carrying on of this work. County
Road Supervision S. Alarid has been
assigned to this work by the county
commissioners and it is believed with
his interest in the road movement he
will be able to put the roads in first
class condition.
Sheriff Closson is interested in
grading the road from this city by
way of Arroyo Hondo dam to con-
meet with the road at Canoncito.
With two such men as Sparks and
Closson behind the county road move
ment there is no reason why Santa
Fe county should not be the banner
road county in the territory.
Injunction Issued.
Judge John R. McFie, in chambers
this afternoon, issued temporary
injunction in the case of R. H. Nc
Daniel VS.. R. P Cooper, ct al, of San
Juan county, to restrain defendants
from pasturing their sheep on plain
tiff's lands. The writ is made re-
turnable on March %, when defend
ant will have to show cause why the
writ shall not be made permanent.
Treasurer's Quarterly Report.
Today the New Mexican publishes
the quarterly report of Territorial
Treasurer M. A. Otero, which dem
onstrates the splendid financial con-
dition of the Territory and incidental
ly sets good example to county and
city treasurers to publish their re-
ports every quarter, for the public
certainly has right to know what
| becomes of the funds collected for
public purposes.
