land and cultivated it with success.
The Bureau of immigration of the
Territory has also done very good
work in this respect, and its pub

much to attract attention and

MANY NEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS GRE
ATED.
At least IL new school districts
were created during last year in
Quay county. There may have
been more. This was made neces-
sary by the large number of new
settlers. An eight thousand dol.
lar school house was erected two
years ago in Tucumcari and the
board of education is figuring on
putting up another building to
provide additional facilities. The
school population of the town has
doubled within a year.
Tucumcari is naturally bene-
fitted by the settling of the country
tributary. The merchants are do
ing a large business, and it is
steadily increasing and the place
is fourishing. The homeseekers
coming and going also make busi-
ness lively for hotels and restau-

This insures a crop of such cereals
and vegetables as we raise. Some
fine crops were produced last sea-
son on fresh broken ground and
all without irrigation. Indian corn
measured out forty bushels to the
acre in some fields. There has not
been crop failure in the locality
to my knowledge for five years.
Most of the land is sub-irrigated
and in some places water is struck
in digging post-holes.
PLENTY OF LAND LEFT.
Hundreds of thousands of dol

in colonizing the Texas Pan Han

something like half million acres
of the same kind of land which the
people are going so wild over in
Texas, and it is open to settlement
under the homestead and desert
land laws of the United States.

company have assisted in the set

Santa Fe New Mexican. in Jan. I6, 1907
"Over two thousand new settlers
pre-empted homesteads last year in
Quay county. Within its borders
are still hundreds of thousands of
acres of public domain open to set
tlement. The influx of immigrants
from the middle western states
during the past twelve months has
had the effect of creating number
OF new school districts Tucumcari
is reaping benefits from the coun-
tryside that is rapidly becoming
populous and is destined to be in
the the midst of a great agricultu-
raj region.
CAME ON PERSONAL BUSINESS.
THE foregoing is synopsis of
an interview last evening with Dis
trict Attorney M. c. Mechem, of
Tucumcari, who has been a visitor
for several days in Santa Fe. He
said that he did not care to discuss
the object of his visit. However,
he talked readily enough when the
reporter broached the subject of
the speedy growth of his home
town and the surrounding country.
COUNTY LEADS IN IMMIGRATION.
'Mr. Mechem has seen the
plains in all directions as far as the
eye can reach around Tucumcari
converted from an almost desert
waste into fertile farms. He has
seen this transformation take place
within the space of a few years.
Small wonder, then, that he is op-
timistic and enthusiastic as to the
future of Quay county. He said
he believed tha. it led all other
counties of the territory in immi-
grafton last year, and that the in
flux of new settlers will be as large
or larger this year. He said:
I don't know exactly how
many new settlers located in Quay
county last year, but am told that
the number is in excess of 1900.
They are still coming, too. The
immigration lately has been most.
ly from Kansas, Missouri and Iowa,
while previously it was from Texas
and Oklahoma. These new set
tiers are splendid class of people
and are practical farmers for the
most part. They generally have
money saved up for the proverbial

COmmiRsiOner.

Robert Cowell has maize another COM
plication in the mixed matter Of the rail-
road commissioners" says former Attorney
General Norris Brown. by failing to ap-
pear at Lincoln to qualify with the other
commissioners and state officers"
A question has been brought up as to
the legality OF the amendment to the con-
stltution which provided for a new rail-
road commission, and several points have
been made-one that the notice was not
legally published in the newspapers and
another that a straight party vote cannot
be counted as a vote for the amendment.
When Robert Cowell, who was elected
from this county as one of the commits
sIoners, was asked as to his position he
said he had no knowledge of his election
except by what he saw in the newspapers.
He said he had supposed he would be noti-
fed by the secretary of state Of his cleo
ton, but had had no word whatever.

ranged to go to Lincoln sometime next

Norris Brown, IN speaking Of the matter,
said Mr.. Cowell now stood in the light
OF a man who had failed to qualify for Of
fee and that without going into the Law
on the question he would have to now be
appointed by the governor.

MRS. BAER DENIES REPORT
Says Nothing in Statement Her Hus-

deavOr Secretary.

There is certainly nothing in the re-
port"
This is the statement made by Mrs. Baer
wife of John Willis Baer, president Of the
Occidental college, Los Angeles. whom dis
patches from Boston said was reelected
secretary. OF the Worlds Christian En-
deavor union at the annual meeting. The
Bee published statements Thursday from
local ministers and others in position TO
know the facts, showing that this must
have been incorrect, and a private message
was received Thursday night in response
to an inquiry from Mrs. Baer at Los An
geles, in which she declared the report
entirely wrong. Mr. Baer was not ac-
cessible or a statement from him would
have been obtained.
John Willis Baer was elected president of
Occidental college 20 succeed Dr. Wads-
worth. now president Of Bellevue. about a
year ago, and 1t was at once thought i'm
probable he would leave that position to
return to the Christian Endeavor work.
The same report which had Mr. Baer
back in the Christian Endeavor told of the
reelection" also Of Won Ogden Vogt
and this is taken as equally false as Mr..
Vogt Is now actively engaged as secretary
OF the young peoples work for the home

New Judge Turns over More Earnings
from County Court Than
His PredeceaaOr

County Judge Leslie has turned over TO
the county commissioners A.66O which rep
resents tile clear profit to the county of the
county judges office after all expenses we're
paid. This sum Is larger than the total of
the excess fees turned over to the county
from this ONCE during the six years pre-
ceding 1906. which amounted to only s4645.
Judge Leslie attributes the large increase
in the fees TO the fact that he has insisted
on cash in advance and therefore there
have been few bad bills in the fees due the
county.
The once did a larger business than In
1905. There were fOrty-three more estates
settled than in 1876 and sixty-four more
civil cases. There also was an increase OF
800 In the number OF marriage licenses
issued. Judge Leslie has made It a rule 70
