Letters pertaining to Busiunts sbonM be iiidrwaed Nkw Mexican Printing Co., Santa Fe, New Mexico. S The Nkw Mexican is the oldest news piper in New Mexico. It is sent to every rVUhtice in the Territory aud has a large t.id growing circulation among the intelli gent aud progressive people of the south- Wi-st. SATURDAY, JIY (5. Kate Field announces in thunder tones that she never wore bloomers or mounted a bicycle! There, now! Nkw Mexico is well represented at the national educational convention which opened in Denver yesterday. Good. Tue municipal school boards of New Mexico can do nothing better than put a part of their funds into kindergarten work. Try it one year. Young Emperor William took care not to hint that the idea of the Baltic and North Sea canal originated in the massive brain of Prince Bistnarok, but neverthe less such is the fact. Suuely the leaven of real reform is working in Knnsns. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease is reported to have quit politics and gone to baking broad. Let the band strike np some lively air. A few days ago an enterprising New port newspaper made the momentous an nounoement, "Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt's hair-dresser has arrived!" Since then that fashionable and attractive summer resort has been rapidly filling up with society snobs and toadies. The year ISSI5 promises to be a good one for railroad building in New Mexico. liven the iunocent little pinnn nut is to contribute its share toward the general prosperity. As a factor in business throughout the rural districts the pinou is not to be sneezed at. The crop is heavy this year and it will be a very poor country merchant who doesn't find his home trade materially increased there- by. It is sincerely hoped the report current in the Mesilla valley that Chicago capital has been induced to take hold of the Sel den dam project is well founded. From what it knows of the sitnation the New Mexican is inolined to give credence to the report. Such an undertaking must prove of immense benefit to the valley and of profit to the promoters some day, and the first company in the field will have the pick of the several good sites to be had along the Rio Grande south of Socorro. It is alleged that ex-Speaker Tom Reed is hunting sassafras root for his blood in the woods of northern Maine, but no one seems to know just what lias become of Vice President Adlai Stevenson. Doubt less both of those gentlemen will disclose themselves in the course of human events and much stranger things have happened than would be their nomination as op posing candidates for presidential honors in 189G. Unquestionably Reed could carry Maine and Stevenson Illinois. When it comes to clutching at straws, taking advantage of every petty legal quibble and delaying in every manner possible the attainment of the ends of jus tice, the attorneys for the self-confessed assassins of poor Francisco Chavez may be relied on. If they stopped there the law abiding publio might still be patient, but when there is added to this an attempt to bribe witnesses and intimidate jurors their conduct verges very closely on the code of ethics as recognized by most jur ists, and supposed to be part and parcel of the creed of the New Mexico bar association. RECOGNITION OF MERIT. Observer Kersey received a telegram from Prof. W. L. Moore, the newly ap pointed chief of the weather bnrean, for mally assuming charge of the bnreau. The appointment of Prof. Moore to the position of chief of one of the most im portant bureaus under the United States government is a fitting recognition of the working force of the weather service. Prof Moore was connected with the weather bnrean under the signal corps for more than fifteen years and remained with same at the time of transfer to the de partment of agriculture in 1891. He has worked his way from the position of as sistant observer through all the grades of the servioe to the honorable station he has now been called to fill by pure merit, and the news of his appointment will be reoeived with enthusiasm by the. em ployes of the weather bureau. Secretary Morton has contended from the first that important positions In the weather bnrean should be filled as vacancies oc curred by the appointments from the working force of the bureau whenever practicable. BUREAU OF INFORMATION. The enterprising and vigilant St. Louis Republic has established a novel bnrean ol Information for the publio, by means of which it is now prepared to answer all queries that may be naked respecting snmmer aud health resorts, vacation tours and educational institutions, free of charge, whether on sea, lake, river or mountain. Particular attention will be paid to the subjects of attractiveness, bealthfulness, accommodations, expenses and routes of travel, without advertising one to the disadvantage of another or discriminating between rival trausporta tion companies or hotels. The compe tent corps of clerks employed at this in telligence office has already gathered and systematized a vast Bmount of informa tion for the purposes indicated, aud de sires to add to their accummulation every scrap of information that can be ob tained of any resort in the United States. This information will be promptly fur nished to the publio when solicited, but the clerks will not be permitted to sug gest a resort unless asked, and then a number of plaoes that seem to meet the requirements of the questioner will be mentioned. The enterprise merits praise, encouragement and support. The cor dial invitation for information to place in the indexed files of the bureau should meet with a prompt response from the Board of Trade and Masonic Sanitarium association, of Santa Fe. The facts re garding the peerless climate, beautiful scenery, splendid fishing, and other at tractions of this city aud vicinity, should at onoe be set forth iu concise form and forwarded to the St. Louis Republic. PRESS COMMENT. Diversity of rrops. It is noteworthy that Pecos valley far mers do not adhere to the Bingle crop plan. True, they all raise alfalfa, but they will use it for feed and pasture for hogs, cattle aud sheep when the hay market is not profitable. They all raise some Egyptian corn for feed, but almost everyone is also growing an orohard and producing various things to oonvert into ready money. They are all advooates of diversified farming, and can raise the food they consume except coffee, tea and sugar, while even the latter commodity will be made from home grown beets as soon as a factory oan be established. The are starting right. Eddy Argus. Assessment of Property. The necessity of having a more com prehensive law in this territory in refer ence to the assessment of property is ap parent every time an assessment is made, bnt our legislators have never yet been able to agree upon a just and simple law in relation to the assessment of taxes. Under the present law the assessor is little more than a figurehead. Property owners make their returns and the asses sor is powerless to do more than to rec ommend a raise to the county commis sioners. As it is impossible for the coun ty commissioners to know the value of all of the property of a connty the mem bers of tha board are many times nnablo to decide as to whether the property owner or the assessor is at fault. Iu some of the counties in the territory it is notorious that the property is not as sessed at anything like its true value, in the other counties fair returns are made of the property. Of course these counties pay more than they ought to pay into the territorial treasury. Grant county belongs to this latter olass. The matter should be brought before the next legislature and a bill should be passed to remedy the evil. Silver City Eagle. The Potato Problem. The Eddy Artrus reports that the potato question is settled in the PeooB valley and that hereafter the valley will produce large crops of that Irish luxury. Mr. A. E. Goetz has been experimenting and has fonnd that it is simply a matter of getting the right kind of seed. He tried many varieties, most of which pro duced plenty of tops bnt few potatoes. He finally found a variety whioh pro duced a good crop of tubers, and what is better, will produce two crops a year. The first crop, if planted the latter part of February, will mature iu Jnne, while the second crop can be planted in July and dag in November. There is before the writer bulletin No. 119 of the Michi gan experiment station, which Bhows that there is a great many varieties of potatoes, some of which produce vain able crops and some of which are worth less, in the vicinity. It reports experi ments with 115 varieties of potatoes, eighteen of whioh are declared worthless, thirty-eight are good, and the rest will be subjected to further experiment. During the past three years the station has experimented with 100 different varieties and pronounced sixty of them worthless in that seotion, although these rejected ones may be of value in a differ ent soil and climate. In the same period of time Professsr Blount of the New Mexioo experiment station has experi mented and discovered that George Cross's wild potatoes will not produce n crop when planted iu the peach orchard, nor when planted in the field, and con sequently they are worthless. The mat ter is referred to the new professor of agriculture at the experiment station, with authority to experiment and report. Lordsburg Liberal. Job Printing.

The soil of the Pecos Valley is of high average fertility, and under irrigation produces bountiful crops of most of the grasses, grains, vegetables, berries and fruits of the temperate and some of those of the semi tropioal zone.' In such fruit as the peaoh, pear, plum, grape, prune, apricot, neotarine, cherry, qniuce, etc, the Valley will dispute for the pre-eminence with California; while competent authority pronounces its upper portions iu particular the finest apple country in the world. Enormous yields of suoh forage orops as alfalfa, sorghum aud Egyptian corn make the feeding of oattle and sheep and the raising and fattening of hogs a very profitable occupation. The cultivation of oanaigre a tanning material of great value is becoming an important industry in the l'eoos Valley, a home market having been afforded for all that can be raised, at a prioe yielding a handsome profit. Tha climate of the Pecos Valley has no superior iu the United States, being pre-eminently healthful and health restoring. Lands with perpetual water-rights are for sale at low prioes and on easy terms. The water supply of the Pecos Valley has no equal in all the arid region for oonstanoy and reliability; and this with the superb climate, productive soil and the facilities afforded by the railway whioh extends through the Valley's en tire length, will cause these lands to enjoy a constant, aud at times rapid, increase in value. The recent completion of the Pecos Valley Railway to Roswell will cause the more rapid settlement and development of the upper portions of the Valley, including the rich Feliz seotion. The company has recently purchased many of the older improved farms about Roswell, and has now for sale lands to meet the wnnts of all raw lauds, partially improved lands, as well as farms with houses, orchards and fields of alfalfa nnd other crops. Iu the vicinity of Roswell several pieces of land have been divided into five and ton acres tracts, suitable for orchards and truck farms in connection with suburban homes. Certain of these tracts are being planted to orchards, and will be cultivated and cared for by the company for three yenra at the end of whioh period they will be handed over to the purchasers. Write for pamphlet fully describing tha terms and conditions on which these several classts of traots are sold.
