Then comes in a beautiful maiden, clad in white and crowned with
flowers, to be greeted by a chorus of voices: "The king is dead; long
live the queen!" and then to recite the "Message of the New Year."

Then comes another song in English, and then the second unloading of the
Christmas tree, which has kept its place in the chapel since its proper
day of Christmas cheer. Then the whole occasion is honored by an address
from the Governor, in simple words, with smiling face and transparent
good feeling. It is not every children's holiday that has a Governor at
hand to grace the occasion. As the President of the Board of Trustees
which, under the A.M.A. fosters the Ramona, and as Governor of a
territory which has nineteen Pueblo villages and the reservations of the
Navajoes and the Mescalero and Jicarilla Apaches, he is a faithful
friend of the Indians. This is apparent from his first report just made
to the Secretary of the Interior. The 21,000 of the Navajoes he reports
as possessing 250,000 horses, 500 mules, 1,000 burros, 5,000 cattle,
700,000 sheep and 200,000 goats. Their wool-clip the last year reached
2,100,000 pounds. Here is a grand field for a mission.
