of the largest and finest dancing

the greatest leader that has lived in
the Republican ranks since the civil

his support on the faith that VIM. j.

President Richardson Has Called the
Meeting With a View to Getting Ac-

Albuquerque.-Large Attendance is
Asked.

In accordance with request from
Albuquerque and with a general feel
ing in Roswell that is favorable to
the move, Chairman Richardson has
issued a call for a meeting OF the
Commercial Club tonight to discuss
the proposition of statehood for New
Mexico as the question now stands.
He has taken the right step, for the
citizens of Roswell should show that
they are in favor of statehood in q
manner that will leave no room for
doubt as to this county's apprecia
tion of the present favorable condi-
tion of the case. Following is the call
of President Richardson:

THE story is reported that hun
dreds of beaver on the North Fork
are building a dam above Paonia
so high and strong that much
valuable land will be flooded and
serious damage done when spring
floods come. According to state
law the beavers cannot be killed.
-Gunnison News.
The above indicates forcibly
how far miss statement of facts
will go. Some time since the
papers here printed little story
of how some beaver had begun
building a dam near Hotchkiss
and said that if it was allowed to
go on the result would be the
flooding of valuable ranch. The
Denver papers either picked up
the item or some misguided cor
respondent wrote them an excit-
ing story of how colony of two
hundred beavers were going to
ruin the whole North Fork valley.
The fact is that possibly six or
seven beaver are building a little
dam. In the spring the ranchers
will cut it and spoil the home Of
these little fellows. The high
water will wash out what is left
and next year they will go and
build a new one in some other
place. There are a few beaver
left in this country and they are
protected as they ought to be,
On the head waters of the streams
they do world of good with
their dams. They are the best
reservoir builders that we know of.
