The board of control is now buying
corn and paying 40 to As cents bush
ell for it to feed cattle and hogs on
the institution farm at independence
hospital. 1t is not Iowa corn, either,
but is shipped from Missouri and Ne
braska, and is fully matured.
Chairman Cownie of the board has
little patience with the idea that the
soft and frozen corn that was produc-
ed in many Iowa fields the past year,
and which did not mature on account
of the wet weather, is good for feed
ing purposes.
Captain Russell was exactly right"
said Mr.. Cownie yesterday They
can experiment all they please with
soft corn up at Ames and elsewhere,
but | tell you it's all twaddle TO talk
| about it being good feed. When |
was down in Iowa county ! bought
corn and paid "a cents bushel for 1T
to feed my cattle, rather than Euy soft
corn. | made money by it,

Iowa YOU see the cattle and hogs go

BUSINESS WASSLACK
Comparatively Few Marriage Ii
censes Issued in January.
ONLY THIRTEEN WORKING DAYS
TWenty-Three Permits Werer Written
in County Clerks Office During the,
Time-Five Couples Get Writs on
the Thirteenth.

January was not busy month in
marriage circles in Wapello county,
as evidenced by the number of Ii
censes issued by Clerk H. w. Michael.
During the whole week between Janu-
airy Ia and 81 there was not one per-
nit TO wed written at the court house
in this city, and the closing of the
books for all time was seriously con-
sidered, but finally the business start
ed up again and kept up fairly we'll to
then end of the month. There were
twenty-three licenses issued during
the month and they were all written
on thirteen days. An illustration OF
the fact that superstition is disap-
pearing, even in this county, is that
five licenses, more than on any other
day during the month, were issued on
the thirteenth day of the thirty-one.

Officials Discuss Extent of the Military
Authority in the Arrest Of
Citizens.

Cripple Creek, Sept. 15-There was
meeting of some of the county ottl-
cials this morning for the purpose OF
trying to learn just how far the mill
tary authorities can go in the arrest
of citizens without warrant OF law.
At the meeting were present Sheriff
Robertson, Deputy District Attorney
Cole, Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners Lynch, County Commis-
sioner Pfeiffer and ex-County Attorney
Hangs. At the conclusion it was stat
ed that so far no action had been de-

that some of the best attorneys in the
United States are to be employed to
get the matter quickly before the Su-
preme court.

Western Federation of Miners, says IT
relief cannot be secured in the state
courts he will take it into the Federal

A SOLDIERS HOME.
Outlook for the Establishment Of One
in the Capital City is Indeed
Bright

The outlook for the establishment
of soldiers home in historic Santa
Fe is indeed bright From present in
dications it will only require a little
exertion on the part of the members of
the board of trade of the Capital City
to secure such an institution, as Cen
eral John G. Black, the distinguished
commander-in- of the Grand
Army of the Republic assured the
members of the committee appointed
by the board of trade to wait upon him,
his hearty support in any movement in
this direction.
The members of the committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting of the
board of trade to wait on General
Black consisted of Colonel George w.
Knaebel, Judge A. La Morrison, Mayor
I. Sparks, E. A. Fiske, Samuel G. Cart
wright, Major Fred. Muller, and w. N.
Townsend. The committee was re-
ceived late yesterday afternoon by
General Black at the Office of Colonel
Knaebel, and he promised to forward
any information or communications
on the subject with endorsements OF
recommendations to the proper author
tiles. General Black appeared to be
much impressed with the idea, and
said he would do what he could to aid
in the movement.

STREET RIOT IN GOTHAM
AT PRIMARY CONTEST.

New York, Sept. 15-One man may
die and several others are seriously
injured as the result of the most SER
ious riot this city has experienced for
many years on the eve of primary
contest. The riot occurred at Fifth
avenue and One Hundred and Eigh-
teenth street. For more than an hour
the streets were filled with bowling
mob of partisans of Isaac A. Hopper
and Dan J. O'Connell, rival candidates
for leadership in the Thirty-first as
sembly district. Many shots were
fired, and sticks and stones freely
used. Robert Crombie, formerly coun-
ty detective, was probably fatally
hurt Policeman George Loon was
beaten almost into insensibility and
half dozen others, names unknown,
were hurt.

Within, the next few months, which
is the shortest possible time in which
the contemplated improvements can
be completed, the Capital City Of the
Territory will have a water works
system, that will be second to none in
the great southwest, and the best in
the Territory. The contemplated im-
provements are the direct result OF the
searching investigations made by w.
H. Friedman, the manager OF the New
York syndicate which controls the
plants of the Santa Fe Water and
Light company, and "a recurrence OF
the discolored and bad smelling water
supply that has had to be contended
with during the past few weeks Will
be hardly possible or probable, once
the improvements have been installed.
With the possible exception OF heavy
cloudbursts over the area of the reser-
voir and the dam and open ditchway
leading to it, when the improvements
have been made, the residents OF San
ta Fe will have good, pure water, clear
as crystal at all seasons of the year.
Mr. Friedman today received a
communication from the New YORK
syndicate, authorizing him to immedi-
ately proceed with the work on the
open ditchway, and to secure prices on
pipe, lead and other material requisite
for making the necessary improve
ments, as outlined in the New Mexican
last week. The extract from the let

IN
QUAY COUNTY
Public Lands Are Being Taken
Up Very Fast and Business
Is Flourishing.
CH0CTAW EXTENSION
Citizens OF Tucumcari Are Confident
That Main Line from Amarillo is
Sure to Come.

Tucumcari, the seat of the new coun-
ty of Quay, named in honor OF the
Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, United
States Senator from Pennsylvania,
has indeed brilliant future before 1t,
and if the prediction of Colonel Theo-
dore w. Heman, probate judge OF the
county assumes tangible form, the
town will boast of 5000 inhabitants,
within the next three years.
"Tucumcari, in fact the whole OF
Quay County, is fourishing," said Col
onel Heman, at the Palace hotel today.
"The public lands are being taken up
very fast, and there has been steady
and healthy growth in population.
Notwithstanding the fact that Tucum-
carl itself had quite a setback, owing
to the suspension of operations on the
Choctaw line, on the extension from
A.marllla to Tucumcari, the town is in
creasing in population, much building
is going on at the present time, and
we are living in hopes of having the
Choctaw railroad resume construction
about December !.
"Two-thirds of the work on the
proposed extension Of the main line
from Amariia to Tucumcari has al
ready been done, and large amount
of material in the shape of ties and
steel are on the ground. AS a matter
of fact fifty miles of the roadbed are
completed, awaiting the laying OF the
ties and bands of steel. Hence we
feel the extension is sure to come.
During the present week the con-
tract was let for brick and stone
schoolhouse to be erected at Tucum-
carl at a cost of $4,000. The building
will contain four rooms, and will be
completed and ready for occupancy in
80 days, when the temporary quarters
in the Methodist Church will be re-
moved to the new building. A COM
petent staff of teachers has already
been engaged to carry on the school
work, consisting OF one male and
three female teachers.
Business of all kinds is expanding

STREET FAIR AND CARNIVAL.
One Will Be Held in the Capital City
During the Week Oct. 10.

DUTI19 tUS VCCN SSks ISs
Major F. Muller, Alan R. McCord
and A. J. Fischer, the executive COM
mittee of the Capital City band, have
contracted with a regularly organized
Carnival company of the East to givo
street fair and carnival in Santa Fe
during the week of October 1926.
This company comes in their own spe
cial train of seventeen cars carrying
between 275 and 800 people. The peo-
pie connected with the company do not
have dining cars, mess tents or sleep
ing cars and are therefore compelled
to stop at hotels, lodging houses and
restaurants.
The attractions carried by the Car
nival company consist of fifteen meri-
tious shows and ten free acts. A
synopsis of all the features will ap-
pear later The Carnival company will
send a man to Santa Fe early next
week to work in conjunction with the
band in arranging all preliminaries
and to help make everything a sue
cess. 1t will be gala week for Santa
Fe. Every feature of the company IS
perfectly moral and everything is un-
der the complete control of the COM
mittee above named. No gambling
will be allowed and the committee will
close any feature or show not deemed
perfectly moral and proper. The band
deserves the hearty cooperation of
the business men and citizens of San
ia Fe.
