One hundred and two claims were
fled on in the local U. S. land office
on Saturday and Monday last. On Sat
urday there were 81 homestead en-
tries. and on Monday there were 4S.
In the two days there were three de-
sert claims made. This number of fl
ings is stupendous, whether it seems
SO or not to the general reader.
One hundred and two claims-that
is a very good average for a whole
month at any land office. During the
past few years the filings will hardly
average that many per month. In the
early days of the Office 1O2 claims was
a very good half-year's showing.
One hundred and two claims, prac-
tically all homesteads, means PSI
sections. or 1920 acres of land. 1t
means almost a whole township.-and
all filed upon in two days. While gi-
wing figures it might also be said that
it means $3.50 for the newspapers that
publish the notices for final proof,
when they come due. But very little
of this notice money will come to
Roswell. Nearly all the claims are
north of here. Most of them are in
the vicinity of Portales.

From a Republican Paper.

Following the lead of the Demo
Gratis of Eddy county, the disciples of
the faith in Chaves county are an
nouncing themselves as candidates
for Office. Among the number so pro-
claiming themselves is C. L. Ballard
for the Office of sheriff. The present
incumbent of that Office is a Repub-
lican, and SO far he has not evinced
any desire to succeed himself. If he
does SO desire, The Argus hopes he
will. If it is the intention, however
to turn things over to the Democra-
cy, why then it is to be hoped, that
Ballard will hold the winning hand.
He is competent, fearless officer
and an upright, courteous gentleman.
His record is clean and his friends
are legion. If it must be Democrat
let it be Ballard.-Carlsbad Argus.

The EIks Block, One of the Finest in
the Town, Destroyed.
Amarillo was visited by a destruc-
tive fire at an early hour Saturday
morning, in which the building occu-
pied by the Elks was burned to the
ground, and a half dozen business
establishments contained therein lost
all their goods and furniture.
The fire was discovered between
three and four O'Clock in the morn
ing by the negro porter who was
sleeping in the Elks' Club rooms, on
the second floor. He was awakened
by the falling of the sky-lights. By
the time he was able to give the
alarm the whole house was ablaze
and beyond control. The fire depart
ment. a good one, did it's best, to no
avail
The building destroyed was one of
the largest and finest in Amarillo. 1t
was a two story brick, with probably
hundred feet front on Polk street.
In its basement were a bowling al
ley and storage rooms. On the first
floor were the two departments of the
e. r. Roach wholesale and retail
drug store, a saloon and restaurant.
On the second floor were the Elks'
rooms and many doctors and lawyers
offices. All these were completely de-
stroyed, the only thing saved being
a small portion of the drug stock. The
building was insured for $4,000. The
amount of insurance on the, various
business establishments and the esti-
mated loss are unknown.
The fire is thought to have started
from a badly insulated electric wire.
LATER The following details
came in a personal letter received
here today: Had big fire here last
night. The largdst building in the
town burned. At least 100000 worth
of property burned. They think a man
