TUCUMCARl'S GROWTH
POSITIVELY ASSURED
N. c. MeChem Gives Substantial
Reasons for His Belief That Quay
County's Capital Will Become d
City of Consequence.

That Tucumcari is to be great city
is the conviction of M. G. Mechem, at
torney-at-law, who visited at Santa Fe
during the week.
"We have the elements that make a
city," Mr.. Mechem said. ''Tucumcari
belt and one not dependent upon irri-
cation. 1t is near the great coal fields
and has excellent railroad facilities.
There is every reason to believe in the
growth of the place."
Broad Resources.
although only three years of age,
Tucumcari has population of 1,200
people. 1t is on the Rock Island and
Dawson Railroads, below the plains of
the Panhandle country. Cattle and
sheep raising and stock farming are
conducted around the city. Quay
County, Of which Tucumcari is the
capital, has more good land open to
settlement by homestead than any
other county in the Territory which is
equivalent to saying more than any
other county in the United States. Last
year the farmers raised an abundance
of wild maize, Kaffir corn, sorghum and
garden stuff, such as sweet and Irish
potatoes, cabbage and onions, without
irrigation. This was accomplished
despite the fact that the last season
has been the dryest experienced since
the country became settled. In view
Of the fact that so much feed can be
raised without expensive irrigation
the chances are that many stock farms
will be established and that these
farms will largely succeed the plan of
range grazing. 1t is certain to in
crease the cattle and sheep industry
in that section ten fold.
Plenty Water There.
eve have plenty of shallow water
of first class quality. 1t is entirely
free from alkali. The new securing
mill at Tucumcari was operated very
the water being so soft
that only about one-third of the caustic
soda and soap necessary at the mills
at Las Vegas or Trinidad was neces-
sary at Tucumcari. We believe that
sooner or later we will find ar
tesian water because in wells already |
sunk on higher places at depth of $50 !
feet streams have been encountered |
which rise 200 feet. There is on foot |
at this time a scheme to sink we'll |
at the north base of Tucumcari hill |
where there is fine land to test the ar
,esian water proposition.
Settlers Coming In.
"This winter quite a number of set
lers from the east have arrived and
I'll are pleased with the country. There

cat this time a corps of civil engin-
GERS are engaged in cutting down the
Rock Island grade along that road S
main line between Buckland, Kansas,
and Santa Rosa, a distance of about
300, miles. In addition to cutting the
grade they are taking out the curves
which practically amounts. to rebuild
ing the road for that distance. They
will lower the grade to a maximum of
about twenty-five feet to the mile The
Rock Island is to be first class trunk
line. Tucumcari is the nearest point
to coal on the line between Herring
ton Kansas, and Santa Rosa Dawson
is only 1876 miles from Tucumcari and
the Dawson road is handling a great
deal of coal. From Tucumcari the coal
is sent in all directions and the de-
mand seems to be steadily increasing.
Locally we pay retail price of six
dollars ton to have coal delivered at
our houses. A general impression ex-
lists that the Choctaw road from Amar-
lilo to Tucumcari will be built this
spring. Over seventy per cent of it's
grade has been completed. We have
inside assurance that the road will be
built at once. This will give us a d.
rect line to Memphis and from Mem
phis to Birmingham.
General Conditions.
Market conditions are favorable.
Cattle, sheep and wool are bringing
satisfactory prices. Trade is brisk. It
is better than the most sanguine would
have anticipated one year ago. Bank
receipts have increased twenty-five
per cent. We have a school house
which cost $4,000. We also have a
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
and Baptist Church, and I under
stand the Catholics will soon build.
The securing mill plant there cost
$4,000. Our town population is nearly
all from the, states and that of the
county is about half from the states |
and half of Spanish or Mexican de- |
