Mans is Semitic S6n0t6

Last Saturday night word was re-
ceived in Estancia that the name of
John w. March had been sent by the
president to the senate for confirma-
ton as Surveyor General of New Mex
leo. All evening and all day Sunday
messages of congra tulation were pour
ing in upon Mr.. March, and his many
friends here were not slow in hunting
him up.
The appointment is good one, and
fal on deserving shoulders. Mr.. March
has been resident of the valley for
several years, and is we'll acquainted
with conditions not only here but through
out large portion of the territory,
having been employed with the survey.

New Mexico and the Albuquerque
Eastern. He is a young man Of exem-
plary habits, honest and above board in
all his dealings. That the work o. the
Office will be we'll looked after under
his supervision is foregone conclusion
with all those who are acquainted with
the newly appointed Surveyor General.

Wishes Himself Back.

Word has been received from Thomas
Tarlton, who proved up en- his hsme-
stead southwest Of town lasC summer,
and later returned to Alvaredo, Texas,
in which Mr.. Tarlton wishes himself
back in the Estancia valley. He be-
came discouraged last summer when he
could not pick a large crop of cotton
and decided the valley was no place
for him. Just before going he disposed
of his crop of corn add feed at good
price, but when he got back to the old
home, he found it not all roses there

Hutos PioW Through Snow.

The Albuquerque-Estancia Automo-
bile Company deserves great credit for
the efforts it is making to get the cars
through on schedule time and the sue
cess attendant thereon. On last Sat
urday, Chaffuer, Hendrix notwithstaad
ing The storm, which ragged through the
canyon, and the snow and slush, arrived
in Estancia only twenty minutes behind
schedule time. Considering the storm
and roads, this was indeed remarkable,
and shows that the chaffeurs are deter
mined to come through, if such a thing
S possible. The cars laid up Monday,
but went out again Tuesday.

WHL,KER SHOWS
FAITH IN WILEY
EreCtS Substantial Business Block
Besides Investing in Other
Enterprises

The new two story brick, erected by
James Walker on the corner of Fift tn
street and Williams avenue has Just
been completed and is an ornament to
the town. The building is 25x1O0 feet,
the first story having a fourteen foot
ceiling, aud the second ten. Hardwood
floors, plate glass and metal ceiling add
to the appearance of the structure.
The cost of the whole is about $4,000.
In this Mr.. Walker has again shown
his faith in Estancia. Soon after com
ing to Estancia, Mr.. Walker took a
homestead adjoining the townsite on
the northwest and built neat frame
cottage thereon, one of the best in the
valley. After improving his claim, he
purchased corner lot, just north of
the Hawkins building. On this he er-
ected two story cement block build
ng. Before completion, this was rem
ted by L. A. Bond, who has occupied
it with his general store since. The
second story has been used by the Odd
Fellows and Masons since their organi-
zation here as lodge headquarters.
Some months ago, Mr.. Walker sold
this building and lot, and at once began
looking around for other investment
deciding later on the lot across the
street on which now stands the beauti-
ful brick, just completed. While occu-
pied in erecting these buildings, MIR.
Walker has found time and funds for
investment in other ways. He is q
stockholder and director in the Estan-
cia Valley Public Service Company,
whichis making the test for artesian
water; stockholder and director in
the Estancia Rural Telephone company;
and a stockhoIder and director of the
Estancia Savings Bank. 1t is probably
not an exaggeration, to say that Mr..
Walker has done as much as any other
one man for the upbuilding and devel-
opment of Estancia and the valley.
While always busy, he is ever ready
to assist in every way the progress of
anything whereby the valley may be
advanced and made better place to
live.

More OF The Beautiful.

On last Saturday morning a splendid
snow-storm spread over the valley,
the snow continuing throughout the
day. About eight inches of the beauti-
full covered the ground, the precipitation
being .89 Of an inch. Heavy winds on
Saturday night drifted the snow badly,
and hastened the melting. The moisture
is welcome to our people, adding to the
productivity Of the soil the coming sea-
son.

Not Confirmed as Yet

Washington, Dec. %. When the Sem
ate adjourned for the holidays num-
ber of executive appointm were un-
confirmed, among them that of George
Curry, to be governor of the Territory
of New Mexico The committee on
territories refused to make favorable
report for the present on this nomina-
ton, but saw no reason for holding up
the appointment of Captain David I
Leahy to be United States attorney of
that territory"
1t is understood that charges have
been filed against Governor Curry, not
so much against any official acts or
failings, as against his private life, and
that during years past Governor Cur
ry is expected to 60 to Washington inn
mediately after the holiday recess Of
Congress when the matter Willb be taken
up.
The following from yesterdays Morn
ing journal, would Indicate that smooth
sailing has again been arranged:
Washington, D. c., Dec. 25.-While
it has been rumored here for day or
two tnat charges of some kind had been
filed against Governor Curry of New
Mexico before the senate committee on
territories, III an effort to prevent the
c)nfrmat on of ! governor it may be
said with very good authority today
+1at if there are such charges they have
NOT vet been placed before the commit
tee and are not likely to be. No mem
her of the committee whom it has been
rossible to reach knows anything abouu
anv charges of this kind and there
seems no reason to doubt that the
governor will be confirmed along with
many other presidential nominations
Immediately after the reconvening of
congress. The fact that Governor
Curry's confirmation was allowed to go
over seems to have been responsible
for sending out the report that a fight
would be attempted on his confirmation
Governor Curry's name was but one of
many including judges, sand officers in
New Mexico and other territories and
there is absolutely no significance to
attach to the delay so far as can be
learned, the sena,e merely having pas
sed over all these nominations until af-
ter the recess.

CHRISTMAS IS
HAPPy TIME
throughout the VaIIey EV6ryd0dy
ReiOiCes and Makes
Morry

Christmas, 1907 has been the merri
est of merry times throughout the val
lev. AS whole the people have been
prosperous, have done better than they
had anticipated for the first year of
pioneering, and as aresult spent mer-
rv time. The merchants have had a
good holiday trade. Especially is this
true of the Estancia merchants. Crowds
of eager purchasers focked to our
stores, the greatest trush occurring Mon
day and Tuesday. Large numbers had
done their shopping early and thus
avoided the rush of the last days, but
the clerks found plenty ITO keep them
busy to the last. Practically all the
TOYS and Christmas goods, which had
been purchased in large supplies, were
cleaned up, and many little heart was
made happy.
SANTA AT THE CHURCHES.
Appropriate exercises were held at
the First NJ. E. Church, participated in
bv all the churches and Sundayschools.
No tree was had, but gifts for all the
little folks were distributed by Santa
himself.
CHRISTMAS SOCIALLY.
Family reunions were the order OF
the day. A number Of dinners were
served the spirit of good cheer taking
in the lonely and forlorn bachelors in
various instances. If anyone went
hungry in the valley, we have not heard
the fact mentioned.
A very. enjoyable time was had at
the home of John T. Kelley, northwest
of town. where The several neighbors
Joined in a neighborhood tree. Among
those participating were the Childers,
Horr, Kelley, Miller, families all living
near each other. John D. Childers was
lucky enough to draw from Santa an
immense pumpkin pie and tooth pick
holder. He didn't need any help, how
ever, to dispose of the pie.
At willard On Christmas eve ball
was given in the new Board Of Trade
hall, music being furnished by Santa
Fe orchestra. The hall was comfort
ably filled, the best of order prevailed.
Everyone had good time. On We'd
nesday night Manager Harris gave a
ball in the hal. of the new Walker build
ing in Estancia. The same musicians
were on hand as the night before at
Willard. The hall was crowded dur
ing the whole evening. 1t seemed as
if everybcdy and their neighbors were
there to trip the light fantastic. Mar
ager Harris deserves great credit for
the manner in which he conducted af-
fairs, everyone of the immense crowdgo-
ing home we'll satisfied with the eve
ning's entertainment,
The turkeys and chickens probably
suffered the most of any of the deni-
sons of the valley. These together
with all the good things, usually ac-
companying, were served in practically
all the homes, and feasts fit for king
were spread.
