There are as usual plenty of candi dates who are "willing to serve. The supervisor will make' about (5,000 out of the Job, counting his salary and fees. As far the several census takers for different parts of the Territory, these will have to be chosen from persons who have passed a civil ser vice examination to be held espec ially to secure eligibles. Several veeks ago In a burst of en thusiasm, which we have since con cluded was unwarranted and childish, we suggested that the two r towns should ;get together and. plan for ihd building of a joint sewer and that the proper paHIes should' give attention to the mesa roads and see that our country trade is afforded proper facili ties for reaching town.

That New Mexico may secure the meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Dry Farming Congress seems to be the i)inion of men prominent in the af fairs of thq Territory. It Is also ap parent that this city is the logical place in the Territory for such a meeting, because of the" immense tracts of land adjacent to lt that are being brought under cultivation by scientific farming methods, methods especially adapted to the raising of crops in the semi-arid regions. The 1909 meeting of the Dry Farming Con fess" will be)held at Billings, Monta na, In October. Therefore, the time is short for beginning the campaign to land the next meeting of the Con gre.is for Las Vegas.
