"THE LADIES' GOD BLESS THEM.'

the following unique style:
AS you will see that my name

The book of Genesis tells US
that the Lord made the earth and

that it was good" and then he

then he rested. Then he made
woman, but there is no record of
any remarks or that he or man
have ever rested since that time.
According to a Hindoo legend,
the Creator of human life, when
he had completed man, found
that his material was exhausted,
there being no more solid elemets
left. After profound meditation,
he took the rotundity of the moon
and the curves of the creapers
and the clinging of the tendrils
and the trem bling of grasses and
the slenderpess of the reed and
the bloom of the flower and the

in the Roswell vicinity and next week
he will go to the points of interest
farther down the Valley. Every scene
of beauty in the Valley will be Ia

of the Pecos Valley will be shown

Messrs. Totten and Robertson have

arranged for and are being photo
graphed. The book will soon be plac-

This booklet. as has been told in
the Record. will consist Of about
eighty pages of scenes and descrip-
tive matter, telling of the wonders
and beauties of the Pecos Valley, in
t~erspersed with advertisements of
the various business industries of the

that will little more than pay for the
printing.
There are to be five thousand of the

Owing to the fact that the blanks
for the taking of the state census
have not yet arrived. the work of
making the assessment in this county
will not begin on the first day of
March, as is usual. This is the year
for the taking OF the census for the
state, which is done every 10 years,
midway between the national cen
suses. The assessors of the various
counties are required to do this work.
Because of belief that changes
would be made by the Legislature in
the rules for the taking of the state
census, the secretary of state this
year waited until the adjournment of
that body before ordering the blanks
for the state enumeration. Conse-
quently it has been impossible to have
them ready by March 1. and the be-
ginning of the assessment work.
which is carried on simultaneously
by the assessor and his deputies, is
deferred thereby. Just how soon the
blanks will arrive is not known to
Assessor Strain. but il may be several
weeks before they reach him. as the
office Of the state printer is now
overburdened with work arising out
of the recent session.
Should Assessor Strain begin his
work of taking the assessment for the
county at the regular time. he would
simply be compelled to send his dep
uties over the county a second time
in order to take the census. This
would incur considerable additional
expense, as 15 deputies will be en-
ployed for at least a month on the
work. In the assessors judgment the
assessment and the state census can
be very well taken at the same time.
and consequently his men will be held
back until the arrival of the neces-
sary blanks.
When the state census is taken it
is important that the entire popula-
tion of the county be enumerated. be-
cause the county's representation in
the legislature is largely dependent
upon the result. Generally a reap
pointment bill is introduced at the
legislative session following the tax
ing of the state census. and the rep
resentation from the various districts
is rearranged to correspond with the
changes in population. While il is
not possible to increase the total
number Of Legislators which is fixed
by the constitution at 90. yet any dis
trict showing an increase i'm popula-
tion greater than other portions of
the state, is in a position to ask for
greater representation in the legisla-
ture. In view OF this it is incumbent
upon all citizens of the county to
assist the assessor in securing a COM
plete census

Thirty-two Evangelists Now Working
In Colorado's Capital.

Thirty-twO well-educated apostles
of the Mormon church are canvassing
West Denver. They are endeavoring
to gain recruits for that church
Their operations have aroused mos,
of the west side clergy. from whom
vigorous protest is arising, says the
Denver Post.
The strength that this sect has ac-
quired in Denver, has reached some
proportions, and besides owning a
church at the corner of South Water
and West Seventh avenue. they have
these 32 elders direct from Salt Lake
City. in the district composed of the
west side alone, making a house to
house canvass, distributing literature
and holding open air meetings with
persistency that has seldom. If ever
before. been experienced in Denver.
Great was the indignation of the
various ministers when they made
their calls upon their members re-
Gently to learn that they had been
preceded by Mormon elders. At the
next meeting of the various preachers
drastic measures are to be adopted
to counteract the teachings of Brig
ham Young.
AT the Wednesday night prayer
meeting this week, there was hardly
an exception that the preacher did
not warn his hearers against Nor
monism, and tell of teh many instan-
ces that have come to them OF late
of the methods employed to get mem
bers.
1t was with tears in his eyes that
Rev. Carlton L. Kirk, pastor of the
JudsOn Memorial Baptist church. told
a brother minister of the startling
discovery ne had made on finding q
Baptist family which had moved TO
Denver some time since, but which
had not become identified with any
church of that faith in the aliv with

with their literature and teachings.
that this beautiful young woman had
almost been led into their trap"

MILLS WILL CLOSE
WOOL CANNOT BE GOTTEN
TO KEEP THEM RUNNING.
Will Resume Operations About March
10 for Time, But the Probabilities
Are the Mills VIII Be Dependent
Upon the Next Wool Crop-No
Complaints Whatever Among the
Thirty-fiye Employees of the Mills.

Owing TO the inability TO secure
wool, the Pendleton Wooden Mills will
be obliged to shut down temporarily
Saturday night the weavers, carders
and spinners were laid off for the
time being, and tomorrow night the
same will be done with the finishers,
thus closing the mill entirely.
According to Manager Ferguson, it
is unusually difficult to secure wool
this season, as there is none of the
last years clip remaining in the
county. However, he already has two
lots engaged and by the 10th of next
month he hopes to have a sufficient
amount in sight for a months run. in
which case the mill will again be
started. BY April l it is believed by
Mr.. Ferguson that wool from this
years clip may be secured and thus
the mill enabled to run steadily.
There are about 30 people employ
ed in the woolen mill. and were the
mill forced to remain idle for any
length of time, a hardship would be
worked upon them However. the
present suspension is not likely to last
more than a couple of weeks, and in
view OF the fact that the employees
have been working steadily for a
long time, no complaint is heard from
them.

S. B. Neil, the Alba cattleman, in

conditions in the south end Of the
county are now better than they have
been for many years at this season.
This he attributes TO the mild open

the fact that stockmen began the
winter this time generally with such
an amount of stock as they could well
care for even had there been some
severe weather. There was an
abundance of feed for both sheep and
