STATE BANK
Was Organized in This City Mon
day with Capital Stock of Thir-
ty Thousand Dollars,
NO OUTSIDE STOCKHOLDERS
Joseph Price, Principal Stakeholder,
Backed by Many of County's
Most Substantial Citizens.

SocorrO county has long felt the
need of a regularly organized
banking institution, and that need
is row to be supplied. Monday
afternoon fifteen or twenty Of So
corro's leading business men met
in the bank building on the cor
ner of ManzanareS avenue and
California street and arranged
for the organization of the Soco-
rro State Bank. The institution
will be capitalized for $40, 900,
and practically every dollar of the
stock has been subscribed for bv
residents of Socorro county. Out
siders were entirely barred.
This movement was brou ght
about by the efforts of Joseph
Price, who will be the principal
stockholder. Mr.. Price is too
we'll known in the business circles
of Socorro county and, in fact, of
all New Mexico to need either in
PRODUCTION or recommendation as
president of this institution. Con-
servatiSm has always been one of
Mr.. Prices chief business quail
ties. Both stockholders and pa
irons of the Socorro State Bank
will, therefore. need no further
assurance that their interests will
be zealously guarded.
1t is gratifying fact that Mr..
Prices efforts in this matter were
literally seconded by many of the
leading and most substantial bu-
sinesS men of SocOrro and of
other parts of the county. Not
only was all the stock quickly
subscribed, but several parties
signified their Willingness to dou-
BILE their subscriptions if neces-
sary. The new bank will. there
fore, be as solid as such an insti-
tuition can we'll be; and, moreover.
the fact that business men of So
corro have SO readily gotten to-
gether in support of one public
enterprise augurs we'll for the
promotion of other enterprises of
like nature in the future. The
Socorro State Bank will stand as
a substantial reminder that So
corro is experiencing a new birth.

coNvIcTs' EARNINGS.
THE public would doubtless
be interested" continued Mr..
Pierce, in the statement of the
earnings of the convicts during
the seven years which the insti-
tuition has continued under its
present management. Mr.. Bur
sum was appointed to the super
intendency in May, 1899. From
that month to the present dav
there has been a constant increase
in the earnings of the convicts
month by month. From Nav,
lS9P' to January |, 1900. the earn
ings totaled -, ,455.43; 1900. S.
Ss4.S2; 1901, Sl4. .S0S. .O5; 1902. SIS.

COSTS TO TERRITORY REDUCED.
During these seven years il
will be seen from this table that
the grand total of the earnings
has reached coniderablv over S1OO.
600. A comparison of Mr.. Bur
sums record with that OF his pre-
decesSors shows that during the
i've years before Mr.. Bursum as
sumed the management, it cost
the territory from Sc to 63 cents
per man per day tn maintain the
penitentiary. This amount in
cluded such items as food and clo-
thing. The first two wears of Mr..
Bursnm'S management this was
reduced to 3S4 cents per day,
and the year following he reduced
the per diem aS low as 29.9 per
man.
Il have been closely identified
with the institution as president
ot the board from the first month
OF Mr.. Bursum'S management.
! regard him as an unusually
competent and successful admin
lstrator of the penitentiary, and
know that in saving this only
voice the sentiments of the entire
board. During these seven years
the greatest harmony has pre-
in our board, and il has
been satisfaction to assist in
the management of this institu-
ton"

CATTLE ASSOCIATION MEETING.
Secretary W. P Sanders Urges the
Advantages of a Full Attend
ance of Stockmen.

Notice is hereby given. aud
, the attention of every stock own
er i'll New Mexico respectfully
called to the fact, that the Regular
Annual Convention of the Cattle
and Horse Protective Associa-
tion of Central New Mexico will
be held at San Marcial, New
Mexico, on Thursday. March -.
1905.
All Stockmcn are cordially in
vited To meet with us on the
date, which will be known as
Association Day." and exchange
greetings and ideas for the sea-
son.
1t is intended To have all pros
pective cattle aud horse BUYERS
present, to give both parties the
rare opportunity of buying or
selling, where one can meet the
best possible advantage. Cattle
men, at present, are undecided
as to the prices steers will COM
mand this season; this is one of
the reasons which make this the
most important meeting of the
year, and every wide awake
stockman should take advantage
of this opportunity, which comes
only once year, to help his
fellowstockmen in determining
upon prices that will be right,
both To purchaser and vendcr.
1t IS safe to say that all the
representative cattle and horse
men in the southwest, and many
from Kansas and Colorado, and
other sections, will be in attend
ance. With the certainty of
record breaking season establish
ed, it only looks reasonable that
we, who are most benefited,
should have kind of iollifca-
tion meeting, and figure what
our profits will be. Beyond queS-
tion we can all stand the nomin-
a expense attached To the trip,
for one day, if for no other rea-
son than helping establish set
prices for the season, as il is safe
to say that the Association stuff
will be among the very first To
sell, and others will not be likely
to ask either more or less than
we get. Should YOU remain
away, and miss the opportunity
of doing good stroke of busi-
ness, of some kind, YOU will
kick yourself" for the rest Of
the year.
The citizens of San Marcial
have promised to take the best of
care of their guests. and we are
certain that they will make this |
promise good.
We have strong hopes that our
Governor, Herbert J. Hagerman,
will be pleased to honor us with
his presence, and thereby show |
his interest in the live stock in
dustry, which is one of the lead |
ing industries of our territory.
We hope to meet you, one and |
all, on Association Day" and !
guarantee to extend the hand |
of good fellowship to all alike.
Yours for success,
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Breeders Attentinnl

Breeders, it is about time for you
to begin to think about the kind of
horses you are going to raise the
coming year. That big draft horse
you sold to the shipper brought the
best price you ever got for a horse
and it cost no more to raise him than
it did that lighter one which the sbipp-
er offered to buy for two-thirds the
price for the draft. The draft horse
is reliable when it comes TO pulling
loads and bringing good prices Then
why not raise more of them? My
stud for the coming year consists Of
imported draft horses and nothing
else. In selecting my stations have
been careful to select the very best
on the market and horses of good
weight, plenty of life, and all are
good individuals. My stud for the
coming year consists Of two Belgians
and one Percheron- Norman.
OF the Belgians, Rastquonere is
well known To the breeders of this
place. His color is cherry bay,
weight over 1900 lbs, is eight years
old, has heavy bone, straight legs,
good build, and is of gentle disposi-
ton. He is the sire of some OF the
best colts in the vicinity. Rastquon-
ere will make the season of 1906 at
the Farmers Home Barn at Audubon,
Iowa. Terms, SIS to insure colt TO
stand and suck.
The Belgian stallion, coincidence"
is of light bay color, weighs 1850
lbs, is eight years old, has plenty of
life, good style and is good indi-
vidual and gets some No. colts. He
will be at Frank Hopley's east of
Hamlin Station, from Monday noon
until Tuesday noon, from Tuesday
noon until Wednesday night in the
vicinity of Old Hamlin, the rest of
the week at the same place as Rast-
quonere. Terms, $l2 TO insure colt
to stand and suck.
The Percheron-No rman, German
do, - was imported last October by
Hart Bros. of Osceola, Iowa. His
color is Jet black, weighs about 1850,
will be three years old in May, has
good style, has good straight legs
with large fat bone and has plenty
of life. Fernando will stand during
the coming season at the same place
as Rastquonere and at the same terms.
Disposal of the mare or removal
from the county will make fee due
| and collectible at once.
