Uncle Sam has not been a Shylock
in his dealings with the Pecos Irriga-
ton Company The old man never
yet has played the part of tight wad
and after the conclusion of his dicker
ing over the Carlsbad project, he
still holds that record. He has Of
fered $15O,0O0 for the damaged plant
of the company and for that sum does
not ask for any OF the land holdings
of either individual members or the
corporation as a whole. The offer
made by the government has Just
reached the ears of the Record, al
though it has not been officially an
nounced
F. GITraey, president of the Pecos
Irrigation Company passed through
Roswell yesterday on his way to Wash
ington and New York. He is going
East to pursuade the bond-holders to
very liberal.
Mr. Tracy represents more than
half of the bondholders and has been
empowered to vote for them in the
matter, but before taking this imDor-
tant step will cable them. The bond
holders he represents live in Geneva.
Switzerland. The rest of the bond
holders will be the ones who will
object to the plan, if anyone. The
others are small in their individual
holdings, but they are many and are
scattered all over the world. For that
reason it will be hard to reach all
of them and get their consent to the
deal
No trouble is anticipated in getting
the consent Of all the stockholders,
when they understand what has been
offered for the plant and what it is
worth. For some time the bondhold-
ers have been willing to sell their
entire holdings around Carlsbad, land
and all, for s35O,O0O, although they
have spent more than double chat
amount. But they have wanted to
sell because of the fact that they
wanted to cash out. Their land is
worth $250,000, SO Uncle Sam has
offered for the plant $4,000 more
than the difference between these
figures. The land they will still hold
is considered worth the $25O600, but
it may take some time to realize the
money ON 1t.

ers. Inside the mob battered at the
big steel doors without success. In
the upper corridors were stationed a
number of deputy sheriffs with rifles
and revolvers, and this tended to mold
the angry crowd back. The mob fin
ally sent for dynamite, but those dis
patched on the errand failed to re-
turn. within an hour. and the ring
leaders abandoned the plan and were
persuaded by the officers to disperse.

Montana Town.
Havre, Mont, Sept. 5.-The fire
which began here last night and for
a time threatened the destruction of
the business section of the city, is
believed to be the work of an incen-
diary, who evidently meant to des-
troy the restaurant in which the fire
originated and the Paul Hotel adjoin-

the ground together with several 9TH
ers. No reliable estimate of the loss
can be obtained at present, but it is
believed that it will reach $15O,000.
