HAGERMAN TAKES
OATH OF OFFICE
Amid Throns of Enthusiastic Citizens of the
Sunshine Territory.

Herbert J. Hagerman, recently appoint
ed Governor of New Mexico by President
Roosevelt, took the oath of office on Mon
day last at II o'clock noon in the Hall of
Representatives in the Capitol at Santa
Fe, in the present of a large number of
interested witnesses. The intention to
administer the oath in the Supreme Court
Chambers had to be abandoned at the
last minute on account of the large con-
course of people gathered 10 witness the
inaugural ceremonies.
The whole ceremony including Govern
or Hagerman's speech, occnpied less than
a half hour, everything being simple and
unostentacious as Mr.. Hagerman had re.
quested is should be. The reception and
ball at the Palace Hotel in the evening
afforded all the glitter and glory any
heart may have craved.
Herbert J. Hagerman is the
youngest American governor of the
territory since the Organic Act went into
force, being yet on the sunny side of
thirty five. He is thoroughly acquainted
with affairs of the territory having lived
here since mere lad. His record is clean
and his stand against gambling last fall,
perhaps brought his name into print more
than anything else could have done. The
campaign against this evil. which he op-
ened will in the near future drive the
curse from the territory. With such a
man not afraid to stand by his convic-
tons and "speak out in meetln" at the
helm, the territory is in safe hands.

Effected A Compromise.

After the taking of testimony occupy
ing the greater part of six days, at an
expense running away up into figures,
the contest cases before John w Corbett
Probate Clerk, of Mirabal vs.. Dunlavy,
were compromised late last night. It
appears that the Dunlavy's had the best
of the case almost from the start, as it
was shown that the land originally claim
ed by the Mirabals was east of and ad
joining the land fled on by the Dunlavy's
This land was originally surveyed for
the Mirabals by Pitt Ross of Albuquer-
que, but with the coming of the cutoff
they moved west one fourth mile, and
thus comficted with the claims of the
Durlavys.
The terms of the compromise are not
made public, but it is understood that
the MirabaIs will receive a bonas of about
enough to pay tn air costs and attorneys
fees, besides reasonable sum for the
Improvements they have placed on the
land.
The statement in the daily papers 10
the effect that this was the Dunlavy
brothers is untrue, and was started for
the purpose of engendering public ssnti-
ment against them. The filings were
made by Wilbur A. Dunlavy and his
mother, Mrs Jennie A. Dunlavy-the
DunIavy Brothers having nothing what
ever to do with it.

FOR BETTER SERVICE
Postmasters will Ask for Mail Clerks on
Central.

At "a conference of Postmasters Robert
Kellahin of Roswell and Paul A. F. Wal
ter of Santa Fe last Monday, the affairs
of mail connecting the two offices were
discussed, and several ways of improving
the service came in for a share of remarks.
Among other things it was agreed to
urge the post. office department to place
two mail clerks on the Santa Fe Central
trains between Santa Fe and Torrance, so
that mail can be tied out and routed while
on the train and no time need be lost on
that account at the terminals, and also to
establish connection via Kennedy to Albu-
querque and Las Vegas, and after the
Eastern Railway of New Mexico is in op-
Grafton, via Willard. 1t will also facil-
tate the handling OF local mails in the Es
tancia Valley and on the Ell Paso &
Southwestern, as we'll as insure the
prompt delivery and safety of registered
mail between local points.
Delegate Andrews and Assistant Gen
eraI Manager Grimshaw will be asked to
aid in securing these clerks, With they
will gladly do.

Talking Machines.

Ex.Mayor Sparks of Santa Fe, who is
manager of the telephone system in the
capital city addressed the local Board of
Trade on Wednesday night in regard to
Talking Machines" The project has
been under consideration for some time
but the ways and means have not as yet
materialized. A committee consisting of
Messrs. Hawkins, Wash. Gregg, Van
Stone and James Walker was named to
solicit subscriptions of stock and to or
ganize the members into stock COM
pany for the purpose of maintaining a
local system.
The result will be watched with inter
est as the insta llation of such system
would be a great benefit to the valley.

STATEHOOD BILL
PASSES HOUSE
By Vote Of l94 to $50. It's Up to the
Senate and then the People.

The Hamilton Joint Statehood bill pass
ed the House of Representatives yester-
day afternoon by vote of 1914 to $50. 1t
is now up to the National Senate to decide
whether there shall be two more stars add.
ed to the azure field of the national en-
blem or whether the four territories shall
remain as such.
On Tuesday afternoon the rule report
ed by the House committee on the bill was
adopted by the House, that the bill should
have right of way over everything elsein
the proceedings until on Thursday at 3
. m when the final vote should be taken.
This rule was adhered to and the vote
taken resulted as given.
Should the Senate pass the bill it will
then be up to the people of Arizona and
New Mexico, to vote on the adoption of a
constitution and form state government.
How this will result is problematic, the
frien ds of jointure claiming majority for
their measure, while the ants are as GER.
tain that they have the balance of power
on their side.

Sugar Beets.

A short time ago John w. Corbett,

from R. F. Hare, chemist in charge, which
