VIEWS OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
THE LEGISLATURE.
Three Things Sorely Needed—A New City
Charter—An Irrigation Law and a
Mining Law—Tho Way to
Get Them.
A Timks reporter found Colonel G. B.
Stevenson on the streets yesterday, re-
ceiving the congratulations of his friends
on his nomination for representative of
the big 80th in the next legislature.
The convention was held a week ago
last Monday, while the colonel was at
his mines in the eastern part of the
country.
"I did not hear uf my nomination till
four days after the convention was
held;'" said Colouel Stevenson to the
reporter. "If I had been in F.1 Paso
when the convention was held I do not
think I should have accepted the nomi-
nation. But as my wife gave the mes-
senger from the convention to understand
that I would accept I can't very well
declinc now !"
"What do you regard as the most
pressing needs of the district and county
and city ?" •vas asked
" There are three things that seem to
stand out above all others at present.
They are the questions of a new charter
for the city of El Paso, a new irrigation
law and a new mining law. Of course
other matters will come up, but these
are, in my opinion, the ones that should
receive most attention and for which tho
most strenuous efforts should be made.
The peoyle of the city arc too well awake
to the need of a new city charter to need
any argument on that question. The
want of an adequate irrigation law is
equally evident, not only to the people of
the Rio Grande valley, but of the entire
80th district. A suitable irrigation law
is vital to the agricultural prosperity of
this part of the state. As to the mining
law, we have practically no law what-
ever at present covering that subject, of
stick vast importance to this end of the
state. The law now on the statute books
provides that -mining matters shall
be administered by the 'land board,'
and when that board was
abolished it virtually repealed the law.
Our mining interests are without any
meaus of regulation and protection, and
cannot be developed till we have a statute
to meet the case."
"What is the proper method of pro-
cedure to secure the enactment of such
laws?"
"The representative of this district
should go to Austin with bills all drafted
and ready to introduce at the beginning
of the session, so as to have plenty of
time to work them through. I have al-
ready had some conversation with lead-
ing citizens of the city with a view to pre
paring such bills. In my opinion the
way to prepare them is to get copies of
the mining and irrigation laws of other
states, say of California an<| Colorado,
and work them over to suit our own
needs, changing them whtye necessary to
make them fit Texas conditions."
i'okmal, m'ckptanci;.
The following communication, which
passed between the respective parties
yesterday, explains itself
To G. B. Stevenson, Esq;
Sir:—In the performance of a pleasing
duty devolved upon us as the committee
selected by the chairman of the democrat-
ic legislative convention of the 80th dis-
trict of the state of Texas, which conven-
tion assembled at El Paso on the third
instant, we now here formally notify
you, that you were the nominee of that
convention and the choice of the demo-
cracy of the largest district within the
state to represent the people iu their next
legislature; and in thus discharging out-
pleasurable duty it i8 perhaps befitting to
remark, that your nomination, coming as
it did. wholly unsought and unexpected
by you, thrust upon you while you were
far remote from the scene of contention,
should be construed as the bestowal of an
honor which teaches that desert was the
touching stone of your selection—for in
this instance the convention true to Itself
aud the interest of the people agreed that
iu you was comprehended, that ability
and experience which eminently pro
claimed you as the man to serve with in
our legislative assembly with benefit to
our people and to their credit and yours.
As messengers from that convention
they commissioned by the democracy of
the 80th district to notify you of its
choice, we are further instructed to urge
on behalf of that democracy your ac-
ceptance jf the nomination.

Gentlemen of the Committee ;
I thank you most heartily for the com
plimentsyou have seen lit to express,
and I feel grateful for the honor bestow-
ed on me by the democratic convention
of the 80th representative district of the
state of Texas. I will in a few days hand
you a letter of my acceptance.
I welcome you, my friends, to my
home, as I am happy to have you with
us. G. B. Stevenson.

One of Mike Dolan's hack teams made
quite a sensation i^ste^tSay about noon.
The team,|with hack attached, started
from the Grand Central and rushed down
El Paso street at a furious rate. Some
one started on horseback after the team
and overtook it near the base ball
grounds. To everybody's surprise no
harm was done. This incident empha-
sizes again the necessity of enforcing the
ordinance against leaving teams on the
street unhitched. The ordinance is vio-
lated a hundred times a day. but who
has yet heard of an arrest the.eforV

Four CarlOitd* of Building Material Ar.
rlre for the White Oaks
Road.
The tirst shipment of ties and timbers;
for the Kansas City, El Paso & Mexican j
railway arrived over the Texas & Pacific
yesterday. It consists of four carloads,
and several more carloads are on the
way. The actual arrival of material for
constructing the road will leave no
ground for the skeptics and croakers to
stand on. No one believes that the con
tracting builders, Morris K.Locke & Co .
would buy and ship material here unless
they meant to build tke road. The un
certainty about the right of way through
the Cotton addition is the one thing that
now holds back the work of grading in
the city. There is no longer any excuse
for the subscribers to the subsidy fund to
delay making notes to cover their sub-
scription. The extension of time ou the
first series of notes from October 20 to
December 1 is being granted cheerfully,
and only a very small number of these
notes still lack the extension clause.

The exhibition of trained animals
which Professor Felipe Salvini is giving
nightly this week at 8:30 o'clock in the
Teatro Juarez, Paso del Norte, is a mar
vel of i,ts kind. However much one may
have seen of other trained animal shows,
Salrini's rare exhibitions of animal intel-
ligence aud teachableness will prove
most interesting. It is greatly to be re
gretted there is no house in El Paso at
present where Salvini can bring his re-
matkable pots before the public. But
the entertainment is well worth going
across the river to see. The attendance
last evening was only moderate, though
it included a fair sorinkling of El Paso
people, all of whom were delighted be-
yond measure. The street cars run till
after the performance is over, about 11
o'clock.
