| The people of Old Albuquerque are
determined to rid themselves of such
hellholes ss the Martinez and Rivera
joints. About so representative peO-
| pie met Wednesday night to discuss
the situation and 1t is more than likely
that very decided action will be taken

Business men from the south today
who are acquainted in Socorro, say
ing the big county is to out north and
/ south between ranges and west,
which will make two counties Of about
equal size. The name of the new
! county is to be Frisco county, with the
town of Frisco in the southwestern part
as the county seat. While geograph-
icslly Frisco is not the center of the
proposed new shire. it is practically
| the center in q commercial way and in
has been q proposition to slice off the
! southwest panhandle and give it to
Grant county. But this will be vigor-
ously com bated, as such q move would
about ruin the new county, in giving
| to Grant the great Mogollon mines;
and it is argued that Grant is large
enough now. In fact, that shire is sc
large that 1t has for some time been
proposed to cut it in two also. A de-
coming session OF the legislature tC
secure the desired separation, by the
people living in the western part Of
Socorro county.-Sants Fe New Mex
