Santa Fee. G. de Baca was sworn
in as governor Of New Mexico, the
oath being administered by CHIEF
Justice r. H. Hanna. Only a lew
friends witnessed the ceremony. The
oath was administered at the sani-
tarium where Mr.. de Baca is staying
temporarily. He was seated in an
easy chair and seemed to be in good
spirits.
The new governors inaugural ad-
dress was brief and simple. Gentle
men," he said, Il feel honored that
you come to see this ceremony. l
hope l may be able to deserve by my
official conduct the confidence you
have shown in me-" Then, observing
n Of the newspaper men taking
notes, Governor de Baca said: And
you newspaper men-I want you to
tell the people that l am going to be
governor of the people-the servant
of the people"
The first official act of Governor de
Baca, and the only one performed by
him during the day, vas the approval
of the bond Of State Treasurer H. l..
Hall. The size OF this bond breaks all
records for New Mexico, as it is for
the staggering sum Of 1881 900. The
reason for the increased amount Of
the treasur Ar's bond is that under a
law passed by the last Legislature the
bond is based On the total amount Of
receipts Of the office for the preceding
fiscal year. At the close Of the last
fiscal year the books showed total re-
ceipts of $2,515, 734.98, and the amount
Of Mr.. Halls bond is SO per cent Of
that sum.

de Baca, who took office, are: Lieu
