March Building operasions in Topeka
Take a Slump.

Building operations Tor the month OF
March this year have slumped badly

done during March Of 1905. During
that month last year the total amount
expended ran up to $1s8. 1856. The char

same. residences with scattering busi-
ness buildings. The class of dwellings
last year was considerably higher than
this year and this accounts for the
difference in the amounts more than
anything else.
The total for this month is $41, ,175.
From this the indications would seem
to be in favor of light year.
There IS a lot OF talk about business
houses but very little real materializa-
tion.
The total number Of permits issued
last year amounted to IS. ffty-eight Of
these for residences and seven for busi-
ness houses. This year the total num-
Der was 10, seven being business houses.
During March. 1906. S20.s50 was in

of 1906 It only amounted to 5000.

thing unheard of before in any other
western town, and although the last
legislature increased taxes the pres
ent county board has been able to
make out without any material in
crease.
The sole reason for his excellent
record is because we have had good
business men at the head of our af-
fairs, and not idealists, or dreamers
or schemers. The people should be
proud of this record, the business men
should be proud of it, and especially
the Democrats should be proud. Yet
we have among us a class of social
ed Democrats and would-be leaders
who are continually grumbling and
fault-f1nding and picking at somebo-
nagging, tearing down policy,
a petty jealousy and envy, a DISPOSE
ton to undo something and no power
thing better.
Instead of trying to add something
of worth, something of value to make
a more perfect institution, they pro-
coed to undermine, to tea down, pick
a hole here and there, stir up discord,
rise upon some ones misfortunes,-
a puny, miserable, s%hriveling soul for
any man to possess. But we regret to
say that we have some of them even
in Roswell. This has been shown in
many ways, and it will be shown in
the county primaries. The people
should watch and run such things
down, not tolerate them for one min
ute. There is no room here for such
knockers. 1t cannot possibly do the
town or county or the Pecos Valley
any good, and if kept up will be the
undoing of the Democratic party g

IN MEMORY OF JERRY SIMPSON.

In Kansas Capitol Building.
From Topeka Daily Herald.


There is a move on foot to place a
bust of Jerry Simpson IN the state
house dedicated to the memory of

cine Lodge. The present plan is to
raise the money necessary by popular
subscription. Governor Hoch has re
ceived a letter from w. r. Draper.

of the friends of Simpson to place a
tablet or statute in his honor I'm he

a be satisfactorily and legally ar
ranged with the executive council.
1t has beer the custom to consign
all portraits of Kansas distinguished
citizens to places in the rooms of the
State Historical Society, but lately
there has been a disposition to change
the custom. In the rotunda at the
state house are a lumber of inches
which were designed by the original
architects for the accommodation of
busts of distinguished and serviceable
citizens. At present there is only n
bust of a prominent Kansan in the
state house, a bronze bust of the
late Senator Preston B. Plumb. 1t

If the plans of Mr.. Draper and the
other friends of Simpson do not mis-
carry it is probable that arrangements
will be made for the erection of a
statue or perhaps the placing of a
bust of the former Seventh district
congressman in the rotunda of the
state house.

waterworks franchise now before the
people. OF course the printing OF this

well afford to back out after the

campaign bluff. The Record presents

FINE VEGETABLES
 FROM RAY RIVER

Clement Anderson came in from the Ray River Hot Springs last Saturday with fine specimens of the vegetables growing at that place. There were large, well-headed cabbage, beets, turnips and potatoes.
 An ordinary purple-topped turnip in the lot weighed over six pounds. A po- tato as large as goose egg was brought in which was grown in forty-tive days from the time of planting. It is almost unbelievable that such fine vegetables could be produced in so short time on new ground
 Mir. Anderson made tine whole trip by boat This is the first time boat has been taken through the canyon, but it k found that with little work all for midable obstacles to beating could be removed from that part of the river.
 Mir. Anderson will start back to the springs today or tomorrow. He will take with him lot of chickens, includ- ing newly hatehe,l bruosl of fifteen, and pair ot young wild geese. all of which will be- kept over winter at the springs. Next spring a few cattle. sheep and hogs will be taken in.

BAKER HOT SPRINGS NOT SOLD

It is reliably reported that the sale of karshner's Baker Creek Hot Springs is off. karshner holds the property as a homestead, and under the law any agreement for transferring his right he may make before he proves up and re- ceives patent will be absolutely null and void.
 Under the circumstances it would appear extremely doubtful that MT. Manley, the would-be purchaser, will put out so much money as the improve ments and karshner's consent would involve.
 At any rate it is fact that there has been nothing done so far toward carry ing out the plans originally conceived by Mir. Manley.

TRUE TALE OF TWO FISHERMEN

Wally Laboski was recently prospect ing on tributary of Morelock creek. Every day he would go down to More lock and catch a mess of greyling. On several occasions he noticed fresh bear tracks along the creek, and for more than a week he took his gun with him on each fishing trip.
 But one day drizzling rain was fall ing, and he left the gun behind. After fishing few minutes he looked up and saw q bear peering into the water scarcely fifty feet away. With a quick swing of the paw the bear caught fish, which it deliberately tossed back into the creek.
 "Td like to know what the bear threw that fish back for" said Wally, in tell ing of the incident.
 "Did 1t keep on tishing?" was asked.
 ''I don't know" he said; ''I didn't. l"

NOME BL|CHTED
 BY LITIGATION
Rich Property Kept Covered Up in Order That it Be Not Thrown
 into the Courts.

SKAGWAY, July 25.-D. A. Eystein, a mining operator of Nome, has arrived here and and reports serious condition prevailing there which is holding that camp back most seriously.
 Owing to interpretations of the law, he says, no man can so conduct his affairs or business as to be sure of avoiding expensive and disastrous liti- gation.
 To uncover rich pay is to court law suit in every case. He declares that many fabulously rich claims are cov- cred up, the owners abstaining from working them for fear of getting into the courts.
 The nearless of the camp to Seattle and the practice of large share of the population coming in on the first boats and leaving on the last prevents the full benefit of the pressure of public opinion being felt against jumpers, as is the case with interior camps
