This week our citizens made
up the required amount for the
securing the SanatOFium to be
located here by the st. Louis
people.
As stated by this paper sever
al times before the location Of q
sanatOrium here will greatly ad-
vertise this place and our cli-
matte advantages 1t will cause
many wealthy families to locate
here, and no doubt sanatOriums
by other parties will come, as
there are different plans for the
running and maintaining sana-
forums, and considering the in
terest being taken by many
wealthy individuals in the es-
tablishment of sanatoriums for
the care and cure of people suf-
fering with tuberculosis it is
very probable that some great
institutions of this kind will be
established during the next few
years. AlamOgordo and vicinity
has an ideal climate for a sana-
tOrium and what we need most
now is the right kind Of adver-
tising and this our first sana-
tOrium will undoubtedly give us.
In this connection we must
thank Col. J. r. DeMier, 0. G.
Cady and o. d. Warnock for
their good work in raising the
money for our first sanatOtium.
As to real estate in Alamo
gOrdO and to show how quickly
bargains will be taken by parties
who have confidence in what the
sanatOrium will do we will say
that as soon as the money was
up for the securing of this insti-
tuition three good homes in Ala
mogordo were purchased by par
ties who were waiting to see
what was going to be done, and
thus the good effects are being
felt already.

A Homemade Island.

Whale island. the large gunnery es-
Establishment for training seamen Of the
British royal navy. is not natural
island. Years ago 1t was only a mud
bank which was uncovered by water
Ht low tide. When the authorities COM
menced to make the decks In Ports
mouth, the earth from the excavations
was deposited from barges upon this
mud bank. until small island was
formed, showing at high water about
the size Of whales back; hence its
name. As the work proceeded the is
land grew rapidly, and few years
later railway was constructed on
piles from the dockyard works to the
island, and the earth was deposited
much more quickly than when barges
were used. In 1860 this island had
been made SO large that the admiralty
decided to lay it out as drill ground.
A small pier was erected and a house
was built for warrant officer to live
in and act as earetaker Of the island.
At the present time the island is about
thirty-seven acres in area and provides
accommodation for over 1880 men,

Yesterday at 2 80 p. m. Chas.
F. Keefe died at the Company
hospital of lobar pneumonia. He
was taken sick Monday and grew
rapidly worse till death. He was
Al years old. A mother lives at
ShOwhegan, Maine, who was
notified of his death. At the

Friday answered the telegram.
He was a Mason aud member of

one Of the most popular men in
the employ of the railway at
this place, and had lived here a
number of years, and was con-
ductor on the A. & S. NJ. road.
The news of his death was a

CAAAMEA MADE
BIG ARMY POST
Action Brought About By Out.
break Of Mexican Miners Of
Green Company.

Fort Worth, Texas. July 81
As q result Of the labor riOtsand
bloodshed which broke out in
Cananea, Mexico, on June /,
among the Mexican employees at
the Cananea Consolidated Cop
per OOmpany's big copper mines
Cananea will be made an army
garrison post and one of the
largest military strOngholds in
northern Sonora.
The recommendation of Mill
tory Governor Luis E. Torres Of
Sonora, to this effect has just
been approved by the war de-
partment in Mexico City and
1000 Mexican troops will be
stationed at Oananea at once.
Four companies of troops have
been in Cananea ever since the
outbreaks and this number will
be increased to the number
named.
The Greene Company at pres
ent pays the salaries of the po-
lice force of Cananea, which
number about 175 men, and
some time about the first of the
year they laid a proposition be-
fore the Mexican government
looking to the reduction of the
police force and making Cana
nea an army post, agreeing to
pay an increase over their pres
ent contribution for the increas-
ed protection. At that time the
matter was unfavorably acted
upon by the Mexican govern
ment, it is said, because of the
necessity of recognizing the
military department of the
state of Sonora if this should be
done and the lack of apparent
reason why it should be done.
The recent outbreak, however,
has led the government to a re-
alization of the necessity and
the post is to be founded.
B. B. Deems of st. Louis re-
turned here last night from a
trip to the interior of Sonora.
Deems says that the Yaqui In
dian uprising in the state of
Sonora is practically a thing of
the past. He says that the
Yaquis are being sent to Yuca-
tan as fast as they are captured
by the government troops and
in that way their ranks are be-
ing thinned out.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS
Hsld Last Saturday Throughout
the County.

Last Saturday was primary
convention day for the Oterc
county Democrats. Two years
ago the Democrats held primary
elections but the claim was that
the primary elections pOlled
more votes than did the general
election and TO offset that evil
primary conventions were held
this year. How much satisfac.
tiOn the Democrats will get out
of this change remains for them
to explain.
AlamogOrdo convention was
called to order by Precinct
Chairman Sherry who presided
over this convention, and upon
request Of Chairman Sherry @.
w. Morgan acted as secretary.
The convention proceeded to do
business by electing delegates
to the county convention to be
held here on July q. A list Of
names for delegates which had
been prepared and printed on a
ticket was presented and went
through without any special OPP
position, although since the con-
vention adjourned some of the
brethren have taken occasion to
criticise the method of selecting
the printed list of dele
gates. Anyway, the ticket was
elected by a vote of from "A to
64 out of a total Of 66 pOlled
votes, some scratching the
list and writing names of their
own choice and others refusing
to vote at all. The printed list
of delegates was no doubt the
slate by two or three candidates
who, as a matter of course, had
a right to select names and look
out for their own interests.
The following list Of is
names we're on the printed list
and were elected by the conven-
tion, although a light vote was
polled: j. r. Gilbert, Byron
Sherry, s. Price, Max Pierce, O.
w. Morgan, o. w. Miller, w.
L. Shaw, w. 7. Wells, Robt.
Courtney, Manuel Sanchez, Jose
Torres, ROra Brown, j. Q. Ell
kins, Il. g. Jacobs, H. Z. Bru-
baker and JnO. Walker. The
delegates were left uninstructed.
CloudcrOft instructed their
three delegates for H. NJ. Denny
for sheriff, Garrett for treasurer,
Joe Walker for clerk, and Pelph-
rey for assessor. We are inform
ed that printed list of dele
gates was adopted by the Cloud
croft convention.
Mountain Park, one delegate,
instructed for Denney, Beasley,
Walker and Pelphrey.
Avis, two delegates, j. II.
Harbert and G. j. ChrOnister,
instructed for Denney, Beasley,
Walker and McNatt.
La Luz delegates uninstructed.
TularOsa delegates uninstruct-
ed.
Jarilla delegates uninstructed.
And from what we can learn
all other precincts will send
their delegates uninstructed.
