the New Mexico exhibit a credit to

from New Mexico to the last Repub-
lican national convention at Chicago,
and as a candidate for county com
missioner last year polled more than
the normal Republican vote in this
county, which is overwhelmingly De

He is popular and respected by the
people of southeastern New Mexico
and highly esteemed throughout the
Southwest for his sterling integrity,
his high ideals and his clean moral
character.
Mr.. Hagerman is a business man
of ability and is an enthusiast in the
matter of the development of New
Mexicos resources. He is also stu
dent, forcible and convincing public
speaker and a gentleman.
His father, J. J. Hagerman, and his
brother, Percy J. Hagerman. are i'm
portant figures in the world of busi-
ness, and the work they have done
in the upbuilding Of the Pecos Val
ley adjacent to Roswell is a sufficient
warrant that this section of New
Mexico will not be overlooked under
the administration of Herbert J. Ha-
german. Neither will any other part
of the Territory be neglected on ac-
count of Mr.. Hagerman's personal in
terests in the Pecos Valley.

Norfolk has had a commercial club
that has accomplished undertakings
of moment in behalf of the city and
the prospects are that II is now to he
enlarged and strengthened and begin
a work of activity on n broader basis
than ever before. At the meeting

hoped to interest every business man
and property owner of the city in the
advancement of Norfolk and with a

ing results. In the past there has
been an inclination to sit back and
let three or dozen of the hustlers
do the work and there has been more
criticism than encouragement even of
these, but with every business man
interested to the same extent as these
pushers have been there will be ac-
complishments that will throw into
the shade the efforts of the past.
Norfolk has large amount of capital
invested by its property owners. The
handling of vacant lots, the leasing
and selling of business and residence
property has made numbers of Nor
folk men independently wealthy, but
the time is now here when something
should be done to see that men who
pay rent and lease buildings should
have a steady source of income to
meet sucn expenses and cause them
to remain in Norfolk, partaking of it's
advancement and it's activities. For
the past several years all have re-
ceived employment at good wages,
but there should be a manifestation
that they will continue to receive EN-.
ployment and their numbers in.
creased. Norfolk is a beautiful city
Of homes, but the occupants of these
homes will need employment in the
future as in the past to enable them
to pay rents and buy properties. An
active commercial club will give them
this assurance and Norfolk will pro-
ceed into the future with stride that
will eclipse all former efforts outside
of the boom period. A boom is not
wanted but the development must be
steady and constant and this is what
the commercial club is inclined to
promote.

abandoned the wild west and the trail
and are finding it better picking in
the cities. The two fellows who
broke the window of Chicago house
and got away through the crowd with
$4,000 worth of diamonds have again
demonstrated that picking is fairly
good in one of the commercial cen
ters of the country. Their achieve
ment, with that of the mail pouch
robbers and the car barn bandits, may
be expected to furnish others with in
spiration to duplicate the feats. The
few who get away and the many who
get caught, however, will serve to

Fifty thousand more immigrants
were landed in New York during
March than in the same month
of year ago, which may be
taken as the worlds contribution to
the opinion that the United States is
the most prosperous and best country
of the world. People would not be
coming in from foreign countries at
this rate unless they were quite ef-
fectually convinced that America is a
good place to be. It is matter for
congratulation that America has new
er yet taken so many Of these immi-
grants that it has not been abundant
ly able to care for them, and there
are still limitless resources to be de
veloped. The thousands of idle acres
in Nebraska and other states of the
west should provide handsomely for
millions of additional population

Intense interest was taken by the
members of the Norfolk fire depart
ment in the outcome of the meeting
last night at which the officers for the
ensuing year were chosen, and there
was full attendance of firemen.
The following were the officers elect
ed:
V. A. Nenow, president, reelected.

p. ]. Fuesler, treasurer.
S. r. Mcfarland, chief.

the firemen that Will McCune is to be

there was not much of contest for
the other offices.

services at the recent fire. BY unani-

The treasurer reported balance of
cash on hand of $639.S3.
1t was determined to add several
signals to the series of alarms by the
sea lion whistle. One of the proposed
alarms will probably be one long blast
to inform the people and members of
the department that the fire has been
extingushed. Another will be all
alarm to inform the hooks and other
uptown companies that their services
are not required when an alarm is
turned in from South Norfolk
Retiring Chief Kern made brief
speech, thanking the members for
their many kindnesses during his term
of office. President Nenow desired
