I have bought the News, and
come to Estancia in the hope that
I may be able to make a living,
and make friends of the people
now here and to come hereafter.
I believe that there is a great
future for this valley, but also
believe that it is going to take
lots of work and a pull all to
gether to make that great future
i near one. I shall do my share
oí that work to the best of my
ability.
There will be no radical change
in the policy of the News. It
will be independent in politics.
The men who can see nothing
but good in one party and noth
ing but bad in another are get
ting scarctr day by day, and the
newspaper of the same class is
entirely out of date.
The principal energies of this
paper will be devoted to giving
the newsliving up to its name --
and boosting for Torrance coun
ty and every town and neighbor
hood in it.
I solicit your patronage, and
will endeavor to deserve it.
Sincerely,
J. A. CONSTANT.

There are several reasons fo

the eyesight of the office force.
Daylight is the best kind of
light, and night work with the
arificial light available, is ruin

On the other hand, we believe
that for i easons that will be ob

SOME THINGS
OF INTEREST
OF NEW MEXICO
Civilization is older in New
Mexico than in any other part of
;he United States. At the time
i the discovery of the American
continent this state had a larje
and industrious population, either
Aztec or Toltec, who had their
walled towns, their stone dwell
ings several stories in height,
their manufactures of cotton and
woo!, their rude but effective
weapons of war, and who culti
vated and irrigated the soil.
The Spanish adventurers Al
var Nunez, Marco dé Niza and
Coronado penetrated this region
in 1537, 1539 and 1540. In 1581-
82 the country was explored by
Spaniards, from whose "'account
it was named New Mexico. ' Be-
ween 150 r r: .! 1599 Juan de
Onate was sent thither by the
viceroy of Mexico to establish
forts, colonies and missions, und
to take possession of the whole
country in the name of the King
of Spain. Onate was successful
but in 1680 tha Indians rose and
drove out the Spanish. In 1698
t he Spaniards regained a portion
of their former power. In 1822
the inhabitants of New Mexico
united with those of Mexico ia
throwing off the yoke of Spain,
and thence forword unt 1 1846
they were governed in the same
way with the other states of
Mexico.
In 1846 Gen. Stephen Kearny,
with a small United States force,
captured Santa Fe; and soon af
terward conquered the whole
territory and raised the United
States flag there. In 1848 the
egion was ceded to the United
States by the treaty of Gaudalu-
pe Hidalgo. By the treaty of
Dec. 30. 1853, what was known
as the Gadsden purchase was
added to the territorial area,
which then comprised the whole
of Arizona and a portion of what
is now Colorado. Arizona was
set off from it in 1868 and the
portion of Colorado in 1865. In
1859 the Legislature passed a
law recognizing the existence of
slavery in tho territory, but this
was reppaled in 1861, and with
it was abolished the system of
peonage --- a modified salary
which had existed for 2 1-2 cen
turies.
