preparo themselves for teaching in the
territory. TIiíh increase in attendance
will necessitate the employment of one
or inore additional teachers and will
make the territorial normal school here
one of the most important educational
institutions in New Mexico.
The selection of Sil ver City as the lo

of the act creating the independent
school district of Silver City there has
scarcely been a year that a special tax
has not heen voted to maintain the
school. It is in such a community as
this that the normal school has been
successfully started and it is needless to
add that it will not suffer for want of
supporters and friends in this part of
the territory.
The completion of the normal school
building, at an early day, is assured.
There yet remains some of the fund ap
propriated by the last legislature, and
this amount will go toward pacing for
the completion of the building. The
$10,000 in bonds voted by the council
last Saturday afternoon will not, in all
probability, liecome available until the
next session of congress as that body ad
journs this week and will not have time
to act on the bond matter, and the lioiids
cannot be issued without the sanction of
congress.
Arrangements may 1 made, however,
for the work to be' done before the meet
ing of congress as there is no doubt
whatever in regard to the action of that

The Pacific mill here, which was
closed down for a few days on account of
the bad roads which made it impossible
to haul ore, is again running on full
time.
Now is the time to plant trees. There
has been no more favorable season for
this purpose for years. The ground is
thoroughly moistened and newly planted
trees will take root readily.
The roail to Mogollón might be short
ened by a couple of miles by making a
road which would follow the course of
the telephone line. Most of the work
would have to be done within a mile or
so of this city. The traille between this
city and the Mogollóos will justify the
expenditure of a considerable sum of
money in improving the road and build
ing a bridge across the Gila.
The recent cold wave which swept
over the territory demonstrated that the
climate of Silver City is the finest in the
territory. At Las Vegas the thermome
ter registered 25 lelow zero, at Albu
queriie the temperature was 11 lielow,
at Santa Ke it was 15 below, while here
it was only 2 below and it must be re
membered that these ligures are the
lowest reached in any of the places
named during a period of more than ten
years.

IkkIv in reference to the matter. The
school will be enabled to largely increase
its sphere of usefulness during the next
two years as there will Ik- a larger fund
available for expenses next year; the
legislature having provided for a levy of
one-lift h of a mill on all taxable projtcr
ty in the territory for the normal school
here. This will provide double the
amount al present received by the re
gents for the school. One and perhaps
two additional teachers can be employed
and an attendance of 150 pupils can
