TULAROSA ON A BOOM.
Many Homeseekers Are FIocking Into
the Town Attracted BY the Advan-
tages Of That Section.

A number of homeseekers and those
desiring to purchase profitable orchard
tracts. have been attracted by the ad-
vantages of Tularosa, Otero County,
and the town is on quite boom. The
people of that section are busy trying
to solve the artesian well problem and
have about accomplished it. A test
we'll was recently put down on the
east side of the Mescalero Indian
agency. After sinking the well to a
depth of 500 feet at considerable ex-
pense to the government, no water was
discovered and Agent Carroll at his
personal expense went down 50 feet
further, hoping that water could be OBJ
tanned No water was reached, how
ever. The parties who did the drilling
are from Roswell and they are now
devoting their attention to testing the
county west of Tularosa. Their plan
is to acquire tract of land and devel'
op water on it. West of Tularosa in
many places water can be reached at
depth of from six to 80 feet.

THE CHICAGO
CONVENTION
The StraggIers of the State Dele
cations Arrived On the Fore
noon Trains.
THE: FAIRBANKS BOOM
The indiana Senator Is Urged by His
Friends to Break His
Silence.

Chicago, June 2O-The forenoon
trains brought in stragglers and the
ranks Of nearly all the state delega-
tions have been filled. With the ar
rival of the delayed delegations were
eliminated all obstacles to holding
caGcuses. The state headquarters
were sought and the program of the
day ascertained. 1t developed that
most caucuses would be held late in
the day or tonight Senator Fair
banks continued silence regarding the
vice presidency has caused some of
his strongest supporters in his own
delegation to advise him to make an
announcement today that he would be
glad to have the nomination. Though
most of the states will caucus today
and the convention begins tomorrow,
the hotels are not crowded. They are
not even we'll filled.
AS the day advanced it became evil
dent that an effort to "smoke OUT
Fairbanks would not succeed. The
Senator remained silent, though his
friends reiterated his position to the

an office to be sought, yet cannot be
declined by any man nominated for it.
1--WE pledge ourselves to make such
changes from time to time in the tar
iff schedules as changing conditions
make necessary" That is the Ian
guage of the proposed platform as now
agreed upon and it is evident that no
further concessions will be made to
those demanding revision
The Platform in Lodges Pocket.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
has arrived with a draft of the plat
form in his pocket. He was notified
that he will be recognized to move
the appointment of the committee on
resolutions, and this means his selec-
tion as chairman of the committee. All
interest in the platform centers in the
tariff plank and the sentiment is that
there will be a straight declaration for
protection without promises for future
tariff revision or reciprocity. senator
Hansborough has a draft OF resolll-
tion promising both, but it met with
little favor among Republican leaders
The North Dakota member Will be a
member of the committee on resolu-
tions and will urge the adoption OF the
resolution he has prepared. He thinks
the committee will hesitate before vot
ing down such resolution when offer
ed and it will not go into the conven'
ton with minority report when vot
ed down.
Senator Allison of Iowa has been
consulted regarding the tariff plank
and has advised against making any
pledges for future action. 1t is under
stood that such course will suit the
President.
There is no doubt expressed about
the selection of Secretary Cortelyol
for chairman of the national commit
tee, although many men prominent II
the party are found who do not hesl
tate privately to express some dlsap
pointment that more experienced
politician was not chosen.

PAPER TRADE IN TURKEY.
In 1908 $4oO,o 900 Worth of the Ar ticle for Making Cigarettes
 Was Imported.

Tn the year 1903 Turkey in Europe Imported paper and cardboard to the value of about $500, GOO and cigarette pa- per to the value of $40o, 900. Austria and Italy were the chief sources of supply. The German consul at Saloniki says large quantities of all sorts of paper, including wall paper, enter that port for distribution throughout Turkey. This paper trade is in Austrian hands. Diff ferent manufacturers in Austria com- bine in sending out commercial travel CTS to Turkey, one traveller showing tho products of several Austrian paper mills. The German consul general at Constantinople. in report to his gov ernment, says that Turkey is one of Englands best markets for cotton yarns and cotton piece goods. taking in 1903 nearly $2,5OO, 900 worth of cotton yarns and $15, 5,700. 900 worth of cotton piece goods. Within the last few. years Italy has greatly increased her exports of cot ton textiles to Turkey and h becoming a strong competitor of England in that market. If American manufacturers of cotton goods were to give energetic and intelligent attention to the Turkish mar ket. they would probably find 1t good one.
